British Hedgehog Preservation Society
The Littlest Hoglet

Film & Campaign Description

“Beneath the wrinkled branches of an ancient oak tree leans an old derelict shed. But for one family, it’s the perfect home…”

Hedgehog populations in the UK are in serious decline – and as they’re a great indicator species, if they are not coping well, it should ring alarm bells for other species, including humans!

We’ve created this new animated film to help spread the word about all the things we can do to help them not only survive in the wild but to thrive.

Created with production company Liquona and narrated by environmentalist Chris Packham, The Littlest Hoglet follows the misadventures of a young hedgehog who accidentally teaches us how to make our gardens safer, more welcoming spaces for wildlife like hedgehogs.

British Hedgehog Preservation Society

The British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) is a registered UK Charity, founded in 1982, dedicated to helping & protecting hedgehogs native to the UK (Erinaceus europaeus).

Through our campaigns, advocacy and educational projects we work to raise awareness of the practical steps we can take to help reverse the decline of hedgehogs in the wild, improve their welfare and safeguard the future of this much-loved animal. We also fund research that provides important new insights into the conservation and welfare of hedgehogs.
