D is for dormouse and Dora the Damson pixie
Dora and the damson pixies are looking after their local dormice who are enjying eating all the berries particularly the blackberries before they hibernate.
The dormouse population is in serious danger, with numbers estimated to have fallen by 52% between 2009 and 2018. The loss of ancient woodland and hedgerows across the UK is a major reason for the decline in their population, as dormice will not leave the safety of trees to cross large, open spaces. This means populations become isolated, lose genetic diversity and are therefore more vulnerable to extinction. Find out more
