Saving our Hedgehogs

Aim

We’re Nature’s SAFE, the living biobank in the UK, set-up as a safeguard for our planet’s wildlife; we are saving species from extinction.

Help Us Save the Hedgehog – A Species on the Brink

Hedgehogs, one of the UK’s most beloved creatures, are facing rapid decline with their numbers having dropped by over 50% in rural areas in the past 20 years. These  vital animals are essential for maintaining healthy ecosystems, acting as natural pest controllers and contributing to biodiversity. If we don’t take urgent action, the hedgehog could be lost forever.

At Nature’s SAFE, we are taking groundbreaking steps to preserve the genetic material of endangered species—ensuring they are not lost to extinction. Through the cutting-edge science of cryoconservation, we can store the reproductive and skin cells of hedgehogs at ultra-low temperatures, preserving their genetic diversity and offering a crucial lifeline for future recovery efforts.

By contributing to this campaign, you’ll be directly helping to:

• Safeguard the hedgehog's future by preserving its genetics in our biobank, a vital resource for future breeding programs.
• Support biodiversity and strengthen ecosystems, as hedgehogs play a key role in controlling pests and maintaining balance in the environment.
• Raise awareness about the importance of protecting this iconic species and ensure future generations can enjoy their presence in our gardens and countryside.

Your support could make the difference between survival and extinction for the hedgehog. Together, we can create a future where these charming creatures thrive once again.
