Lead, pesticides, brominated flame retardants, plastic additives, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals. This is what researchers at Lund University in Sweden found when they collected dead hedgehogs to investigate the environmental pollutants found in urban environments. Previous research has investigated the presence of heavy metals in hedgehogs from other urban areas in Europe and

Facts and research must carry more weight when planning the greening of cities in the future. A new research article calls for a paradigm shift – from 'arbitrary decisions' to more evidence-based urban planning, where urban nature is managed as a resource for both people and biodiversity. Biodiversity is under pressure and many species are at risk of disappearing due to human activity. Research sh
