Summary: 

2018 has been a very mixed year for Cornwall’s wildlife. Nationally 56% of UK species have declined in recent years, some of them at an alarming rate. Work on local species data at the Environmental Records Centre for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (ERCCIS) showed that the same thing is happening here in Cornwall. It isn’t all bad news though, there are many examples where species decline has been reversed in small areas, but this will need to be scaled up if we are to bring species like hedgehogs and skylarks back from the brink. New Government legislation due in 2019 could help to turn things around if it is strong enough.

Some species had a good year in here in Cornwall; here are the 2018 Top Ten Wildlife Highlights:

1. Cornwall’s Beavers have Babies: Following the trial release of beavers on a farm near Truro, the Trust announced the birth of two kits – baby beavers. These were the first beavers to be born in Cornwall for over 400 years. Their antics were enjoyed by thousands of television viewers nationwide on the last episode of BBC’s Springwatch 2018.
