Britain 's native hazel dormouse is in 'catastrophic decline' as numbers have fallen by 70 per cent since 2000 .
The species is one of Britain 's rarest mammals and on the brink of extinction due to habitat loss.
Scientists and volunteers have released 10 of the tiny golden-coated animals into Bedfordshire woodland to bolster the UK 's dwindling population.
The project is led by wildlife charity People's Trust for Endangered Species .
Hazel dormice were once widespread in England and Wales , but have disappeared from 17 counties since Victorian times.
Now they are only commonly found in the South of England and areas of the English -Welsh border.
Numbers have fallen by 38 per cent since 2000 , according to the State Of Britain's Dormice report.
