Several British mammals are struggling with the effects of global warming and habitat loss, and are set to become on the endangered list. Figures are showing that the population numbers for many of the animals have fallen drastically in recent years. Hedgehogs, Hazel dormouse, water voles and certain bat species are all struggling in the uncertain world that we live in today.

Conservationists are saying that there is now more than eighteen species on the endangered list, and that they are in serious need of help. Only two British mammals have seen an increase in numbers, and the rest have all been declining. Unpredictable climate has been one of the primary reasons for the population declines, and has caused changes in the natural behaviour of many of the animals.
