As an artist I would like to raise awareness about the current and worsening climate crisis. So I am going to regularly post an animal, tree or environment I would like to see survive into the future but if we don’t change our ways will not make it for my child to enjoy in her adulthood. Today I choose Hedgehog as an animal I wish to see in ten years time bimbling through my garden eating snails and slugs. Hedgehog numbers having been falling drastically over the last few decades due to habitat loss and poisoning from pesticide products like slug pellets. Below are some of the things you can do to support Hegehogs in your garden if you are privileged enough to have an outside space.

Leave a hole at the base of your garden fence
Have water stations in your garden
leave wild spaces in your garden
Invest in a hedgehog house or create your own Hedgie hibernation space
leave out special hedgehog food

If you don’t have an outside space you can
Donate to a wildlife rescue organisation
Volunteer or donate blankets, food etc to your local rescue centre
Support your local wildlife trust

Just some things we can do so that we can all live in a thriving, diverse beautiful planet. Please don’t stop trying even if those with all the power and wealth won’t bother. #artistsforagreenfuture #hedgehogs #endangeredspecies #cop26 #art #nomeart
