Description
The UK Red Squirrel population has suffered following the introduction of the eastern European Grey Squirrel. Attempts are under way to support the Red Squirrel population and halt the expansion of the Grey into the few remaining strongholds of the Red. Scotland is believed to hold about 85% of the remaining Red population in the UK.
