University of East Anglia climate report: Species in decline
The UK's landscape and wildlife are under threat like never before, a new report into climate change has revealed.
The research shows many of the UK's birds, bugs, butterflies and small mammals are in a "freefall decline", with last year the worst on record for breeding birds.
The report, compiled with the help of researchers from the Norwich-based the University of East Anglia, also shows that hedgehogs are disappearing as fast as the tiger, dropping from 36 million in 1950, to just one million today.
