Did you know that Badgers need a lot of space?
Badgers move around a lot, visit new burrows often, and can even travel up to 14 km in one night!
Because they travel so far, roads constructed through badger habitat (primarily grasslands) pose the biggest threat to badgers. Secondary poisoning is also very harmful to these beautiful hunters. When humans poison prey animals (eg. rodents), we put all sorts of predators at risk including everything from owls to badgers.
