Descrição

This dataset contains records of European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) admitted to Stichting Egelopvang Midden Nederland, a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre in the Netherlands. The dataset includes occurrence records from rescued individuals, with information on the date of admission, location of origin, sex, life stage, and geographic coordinates. These data provide insight into the spatial and temporal distribution of hedgehogs brought into care and can support research on hedgehog ecology, conservation, and wildlife rehabilitation in the region.

Cobertura Geográfica

The dataset covers the region served by Stichting Egelopvang Midden Nederland in the province of North Holland, the Netherlands. Records primarily originate from Huizen and surrounding municipalities, as well as parts of neighbouring provinces such as Utrecht and Flevoland, where rescued European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) were found and subsequently admitted to the wildlife rehabilitation centre. The geographic coverage includes urban, suburban, and rural habitats within the wider central Netherlands region.

Cobertura Taxonômica

The dataset contains records of the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus), a mammal belonging to the order Eulipotyphla and the family Erinaceidae. All occurrence records in the dataset relate exclusively to this species and document individuals admitted to Stichting Egelopvang Midden Nederland for rehabilitation and care.

Dados Sobre o Projeto

Climate and land-use changes pose challenges for species, such as phenological shifts, disrupted food webs, and population fragmentation. Detecting such changes requires long-term datasets that are FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). However, such datasets are scarce. The Western European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) is a bioindicator for environmental health and a potential One Health sentinel. However, the hedgehog is declining in numbers and has recently been reclassified as "near threatened." To accurately reveal trends in population dynamics, long-term data is needed. However, a long-term FAIR dataset is lacking. In the Netherlands, extensive, but non-FAIR, data exist at wildlife rehabilitation centers, detailing, among other things, locations, injuries, and diseases. Much of these data is inaccessible because they are stored only on paper or in isolated databases. Without digitization, these data may be lost, undermining conservation efforts and policy. The aim of the Hedgehog Histories project is to digitize and mobilize historical hedgehog records from wildlife sanctuaries through the GBIF infrastructure and to increase the participation of wildlife sanctuaries in the NLBIF network.
