Seven Year Decline of Mountain Hare Abundance in the Peak District, England
From 2017 to 2024, systematic transect surveys of the only mountain hare population in England showed a statistically significant continual decline of 58%. It is not known whether this decrease is sy...

Peak District UK ~1,000 mountain hares hares = viable..?? Causes of mortality unknown. If decline not arrested, soon extinct?

Tricky balance, when so many species declining = requires urgency, so accepting single replicate when its obvious = sensible. Yet nature is complex, some systems need deep research & statistical description. Do we have time for that... (?)
