The status of the badger in Holland / Belgium

Ref: w624-01   Back to top
 This website includes detailed historical information about the status of the badger in Noord-Brabant, Holland. There are 7 pages in all, including a links page. Sadly, the Photo Album is blank, but there is a nice badger photo on the home page. The material used to create this site is taken from a report which is available online in PDF format - see link below.

Ref: w631   Back to top
 This brief web page is about the badger in Flanders, Belgium (and may actually be in Flemish rather than Dutch!). The badger population in Flanders declined in the 1970\'s when fox holes were gassed to control Rabies. Habitat destruction has also taken its toll. It is hoped that badgers will repopulate Flanders from Limburg and Brabant.
