A short film looking at ongoing work to protect and extend the habitat of water voles in Sheffield.
Having been lost from 94% of places where they were once prevalent, water voles are a priority species under the UK post-2010 biodiversity framework. They are listed as endangered on both Great Britain’s and England’s Red List for Mammals.
