Dormouse

There is some good news for hazel dormice in the UK.


The hazel dormouse is one of the cutest animals that are found in the UK. Sadly though, the hazel dormouse is also incredibly endangered in the UK.


Due to the hazel dormouse being endangered, it makes them very vulnerable to extinction. However, there is some good news for hazel dormice.


The good news about these cute animals is that 1,000 hazel dormice have been released into the wild in the UK. The UK government announced recently that the 1,000th hazel dormouse has been released in the UK, in an effort to help them.


Reintroducing animals back into the wild can help us to rewild places and bring back nature. Rewilding is essential for species recovery and, by releasing animals that are endangered into the wild, we can help save them from extinction - which makes these new releases of hazel dormice a good thing.
