这个小小的假日公园是刺猬安全地冬眠的地方
According to the experts, in just under two years, British hedgehogs could be extinct. The prickly, adorable creatures have been added to the endangered species list for the first time, which means that we must protect these animals at all costs. Hedgehogs are even more vulnerable when they go into hibernation, with threats from the elements and predators. Hence, we’re excited to introduce you to the world’s first hedgehog hibernation holiday park!
据专家称，英国刺猬可能在两年内灭绝。这种多刺、可爱的动物首次被列入濒危物种名单，这意味着我们必须不惜一切代价保护这些动物。当刺猬进入冬眠状态时，它们更容易受到外界环境和捕食者的威胁。因此，我们很高兴为大家介绍世界上第一个刺猬冬眠假日公园!
This is the world’s first hedgehog hibernation holiday park

The park features cozy caravan homes with double-glazed windows, surrounded by tiny fences, little gates, and mini street lamps. It basically has everything a hedgehog needs for a truly luxurious stay.
公园以舒适的大篷车住宅为特色，有双层玻璃窗，被小栅栏、小门和迷你路灯包围。它基本上拥有刺猬真正豪华住宿所需的一切。
The goal of the adorable project is to give these spiky mammals somewhere safe to hibernate, keeping in mind that the animals were put on the endangered species list.

“We need to prioritise protecting hedgehogs now, before it’s too late,” the representative for Parkdean Resorts wrote on their website. “Before, during, and after hibernation, we need to consider making safe spaces for our spiky friends. From what pesticides we use on our gardens, to making sure safe and healthy habitats remain for them to snuggle up in come November time.”
Parkdean Resorts的代表在其网站上写道:“我们现在需要把保护刺猬放在优先位置，否则就太晚了。在冬眠之前、期间和之后，我们需要考虑为我们的尖刺朋友创造安全的空间。从我们在花园中使用的杀虫剂，到确保它们在11月到来时能有安全健康的栖息地栖息。”
“We are now encouraging the nation to create their own hibernation homes in their gardens to keep hedgehogs safe all winter long.”
“我们现在鼓励英国人在花园中为刺猬建造自己的冬眠之家，以便它们在整个冬天都能安全过冬。”

The care for hedgehogs started out as a local initiative at Parkdean Resorts’ White Cross Bay park in the Lake District, but has since spread out all across the UK.
“关爱刺猬”活动最初是由位于湖区的帕克迪安度假村的白十字湾公园发起的，但后来已经蔓延到英国各地。
Catherine Lynn, Chief Customer Officer at Parkdean Resorts, told the media: “Hedgehogs becoming endangered is a massive blow for UK wildlife and wildlife lovers. We wanted to do something big and bold to grab the nation’s attention and encourage everyone to play their part in helping protect them from extinction. And what’s more eye-catching than a miniature holiday park, designed and built especially for hedgehogs? We hope this world’s first will inspire people to support our prickly pals at their most vulnerable time of year.”
公园度假村的首席客户官凯瑟琳·林恩告诉媒体:“刺猬的濒危对英国野生动物和野生动物爱好者来说是一个巨大的打击。我们想做一件大而大胆的事情来抓住国家的注意力，并鼓励每个人都在帮助保护它们免于灭绝的过程中发挥自己的作用。还有什么比专门为刺猬设计建造的微型假日公园更吸引眼球的呢?我们希望这个世界上的第一个活动能鼓励人们在一年中最脆弱的时候去支持那些易怒的朋友。”
