About
Jeppe Lund Nielsen is a conservation biologist whose work bridges the gap between modern technology and wildlife protection. His primary research focuses on the impacts of anthropogenic innovations on small mammal populations, particularly European hedgehogs (*Erinaceus europaeus*). Nielsen’s most cited study, “Wildlife Conservation at a Garden Level: The Effect of Robotic Lawn Mowers on European Hedgehogs” (2021), systematically tested 18 robotic mower models in collisions with hedgehog carcasses across four weight classes and three positions. The results, quantified into six damage categories, revealed that no mower model was completely safe—a stark finding that has driven global policy discussions on wildlife-friendly garden technology. With 25 citations, this work has become a cornerstone for urban ecology and animal welfare research. Nielsen’s contributions extend beyond academia; his data have informed European Union safety regulations and public awareness campaigns. By exposing the hidden dangers of everyday devices, he has redefined how we think about conservation in suburban landscapes. His research is a vital resource for students and policymakers alike, proving that even a garden can be a frontier for wildlife protection.
