Like almost all wild animals, hedgehogs can look after themselves; but the impact of man upon the environment means that conservation measures are sometimes needed to prevent species from becoming rare or even extinct.
Although inevitably most species become extinct or else mutate into different species, it is important to try to prevent extinctions, so as to maintain cultural diversity. Only if the entity is nothing but harmful (such as the smallpox or polio virus) should we seek to eliminate it. Some people hate, fore example, sharks, crocodiles, Spiders etc; but they all play a role in their ecosystem and should be protected.
How can YOU help hedgehogs? First, before lighting a bonfire, check that there are no hedgehogs hibernating inside. If you see one about to cross a road, pick it up and move it somewhere safe, to prevent it from being killed by traffic. Remember, hedgehogs have LOTS of fleas; wear gloves (or plastic bags) on your hands before handling them. If your dog is worrying a hedgehog, restrain it, and move the hedgehog (which will have rolled into a ball) to a safer place.
On a Scottish isle recently, hedgehogs became too numerous and were eating the eggs of ground-nesting birds. The authorities started to strap and kill the 'hogs; but after an outcry, they have agreed instead to trap the hedgehogs so that they can be returned to a natural habitat on the mainland.
