At-risk species named

AT LEAST one in five British mammals is at high risk of extinction due to threats like disease and loss of their natural habitat, a study has found.

Red squirrels, wildcats and grey longeared bats are among those in most danger, according to the first major review of British mammals for 20 years.

Nine species, including hedgehogs, water voles and even rabbits, have declined, according to the Mammal Society led study.
