Nature conservation: "Germany is looking for hedgehogs and moles" campaign launches
How many hedgehogs and moles live in Germany? Nature conservationists do not know exactly and are now asking the population for help.
The Deutsche Wildtier Stiftung is calling for people to count hedgehogs and moles as part of a citizen science project. The project, now in its fourth year, aims to determine the population of these two species, which are believed to be declining. From September 18 to 28, participants can report their sightings of hedgehogs and moles on the website "Igelsuche.de" or, for those in Bavaria, on "igel-in-bayern.de".
The data collected will help researchers understand the population trends of these species and raise awareness about their conservation.
