Queen Mary are taking part in the Hedgehog Friendly Campus Campaign because hedgehogs are now officially classed as vulnerable to extinction, with populations decreasing by 30% in urban areas and up to 50% in rural areas. The Hedgehog Friendly Campus Campaign aims to turn your university campus into a place where hedgehogs can thrive. The money raised in this appeal will go to the British Hedgehog Preservation Society.

Founded in 1982 the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) offers help and advice to those with sick, injured or orphaned hedgehogs and maintains a list of rehabilitators in the UK. The BHPS is a registered UK Charity (number 1164542) dedicated to helping & protecting hedgehogs native to the UK (Erinaceus europaeus).
