Flora and Fauna of United Kingdom?
Answers
Answer:
Common smaller mammals are foxes, hares, hedgehogs, rabbits, weasels, stoats, shrews, rats, and mice; otters are found in many rivers, and seals frequently appear along the coast. There are few reptiles and amphibians. Roughly 230 species of birds reside in the United Kingdom, and another 200 are migratory.
Explanation:
Crucially, many of the species that still survive in the UK, such as the red squirrel, otter, hedgehog, water vole, British bluebell and swallowtail butterfly, are held in great affection by the public and have achieved almost iconic status. The UK’s remaining natural habitats – which range from ancient woodland to rugged mountains and cold-water reefs – are enjoyed by millions of people and greatly valued not only as wildlife refuges but also as places for recreation, relaxation and reconnection with nature.
Fauna & Flora International (FFI) has championed UK wildlife since its early days, and spearheaded a variety of conservation initiatives in the 1970s and 80s for then-neglected UK species such as bats, otters, hedgehogs, toads and snakes. We were also instrumental in establishing UK conservation bodies including the Bat Conservation Trust and Froglife.
