Lippe district protects hedgehogs: three new hedgehog castles for the winter!
At a time when many animal species are increasingly threatened, regional actors are working to ensure the survival of hedgehogs in our beautiful nature. The Lippe district has now taken concrete steps and built three hedgehog castles in Detmold and Blomberg. These tired little creatures, which are on the red list of endangered species, need our help to survive the winter without damage. Loud Radio lip The hedgehog castles are built from natural materials, offer protection from the cold and predators and serve as an ideal retreat for hibernation.
Citizens are also asked to actively participate. If you have space in the garden, you can build your own hedgehog castle using a simple building plan. It is recommended to fill a hollow with suitable material such as leaves or wood chips to prevent waterlogging and prevent the cold from penetrating inside. Two pieces of wood, about 70cm long and at least 10cm in diameter, are used to form the structure, while a thick layer of foliage provides additional insulation.
The hedgehog – an endangered animal
Unfortunately, the hedgehog is not an isolated case. Loud Mirror It is listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's red list and is therefore classified as potentially endangered. The decline in its population is alarming and is exacerbated by numerous factors such as habitat loss, traffic and climate change.
A big step in the right direction is not only to provide hedgehogs with suitable shelter, but also to promote awareness of their needs. The initiatives in Lippe are a prime example of how nature conservation can work locally.
