I grew up on a farm during the 1960's and never saw a badger. Now dead badgers at the side of the road are far more common than dead hedgehogs. We never had TB on the farm either.

Northwind
Factors influencing this:
More traffic
More roads
More loss of habitat
More intensive farming
More transporting of cattle
Probably loads more tbh but that's a start.

Northwind - you missed the most important one - More badgers.
A lot more badgers. Since badgers became a protected species, their numbers have soared. They have no natural predators.

Fairly decent sized industry in Scotland almost entirely based on shooting animals for fun. Roe deer season already underway, Red Deer kicks off 1st July....

Toff badgering season has started then.

What tyres... 🙂
