The Facts
The brown hare in the UK, face significant declines and conservation concerns due to habitat loss and agricultural changes, while the Mountain hare
is Near Threatened
in Great Britain. While not globally "endangered," populations are struggling in many areas, leading to protected status and management efforts.
Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus)
Status: Widespread but declining, listed as a priority species under the UK's Biodiversity Action Plan.
Threats: Intensive farming, loss of mixed farming (providing food/shelter), and hunting (lack of closed season in the UK).
Population: Declined significantly (around 75%) since the 1960s in the UK.
Mountain Hare (Lepus timidus)
Status: Near Threatened (NT) on the UK Red List, with some populations in Scotland severely reduced.
Threats: Afforestation, habitat alteration, and competition/displacement by brown hares.
Climate Change: Also vulnerable to climate change impacts, affecting their snowy camouflage in Ireland & Scotland
