"This connection with a wild animal is, I believe, a vital one. It allows us to appreciate the hedgehog in a way that we can with no other creature- and I would argue that it is the moment that we begin to fall in love with the natural world, moving out of a sentimental affection for it and into something deeper. And from there it is just a short step to wanting to do something about the parlous state we are in-hence the reason why I argue that hedgehogs can save the world."
