New Arc to microchip hedgehogs they rescue as cute critters now at threat of possible extinction

Updated: 28/04/2021, 8:22 am © PA A north-east animal centre has announced plans to microchip every hedgehog they rescue and release amid concerns they are at threat of “possible extinction.” Hedgehogs have decreased by about 46% over the past 13 years. Scientists think it is due to an increase in farming, habitat fragmentation in urban areas, and the continuing loss of suitable environment over the years. Hedgehog Ben Birchall/PA Wire The New Arc has announced a programme of micro-chipping all the hedgehogs they release back to the wild. Last year, the charity received 118 of the spiky creatures, with more than 82% of them surviving. Over winter, 31 of them stayed at the centre and are now ready to be released into the wild as the weather improves.
