🚨 MYTHBUSTER: BADGERS & HEDGEHOGS (AND BIRDS!) 🚨 Badgers often get the blame for declines in hedgehogs and ground-nesting birds. But what does the science really say? 🦔 Hedgehogs: Their biggest threats are habitat loss, roads, and climate change. And here’s a twist – hedgehogs are absent from 71% of rural sites without badgers. 🐦 Birds: Badgers mainly munch earthworms, not birds. Research shows culling badgers doesn’t give bird populations a boost. 🌍 The truth? Nature is complicated. Pointing the finger at badgers oversimplifies the real challenges wildlife face and ignores the bigger picture. (fb)
