Det anslås, at 1 ud af 3 pindsvin dør i mødet med biler på vejene. En ny opdagelse kan dog potentielt bruges til at holde pindsvinene væk fra trafikken og dermed reducere antallet af pindsvin, der bliver kørt over. Ny #dkforsk 👉 bit.ly/4ur3uhh @drhedgehog.bsky.social

Husk at det også er vigtigt at registrere hvis man kigger og ikke ser pindsvin. Vi har nemlig brug for at vide hvor de er, men også hvor de ikke er. For når jeg sidder med Danmarkskortet, og skal lægge observationerne ind, så er det vigtigt at vide om de tomme felter skyldes at ingen gad at tælle.

Dr Sophie Lund Rasmussen/ Dr Hedgehog 🦔/ Hedgehog Research @drhedgehog.bsky.social · 09/08/2025
Altså det vil jo aldrig give et præcist antal pindsvin i hele Danmark. Men hvis vi bruger samme metode år efter år, kan vi- med forbehold- forsigtigt begynde at drage konklusioner efter en årrække med dataindsamling.

Man registrerer de pindsvin, man ser (om aftenen). Og hvis man ikke må være længe vågen, kan man registrere alle de trafikdræbte pindsvin, der ligger på vejene. Og er man ikke hjemme i aften, og har haft pindsvin, der kommer fast hver aften, er det også helt fint at registrere dem.

Les hérissons sont en déclin, mais ils détiennent les clés de la biodiversité dans leur environnement. Une bonne raison pour étudier leurs déjections.
