Future for red squirrels

摘要

The Saving Scotland's Red Squirrels (SSRS) project aims to protect the red squirrel in the only region of mainland UK where it remains the only resident squirrel species: Grampian, Argyll and the Highlands.A second aim is to protect red squirrels in a number of large landscapes across southern Scotland. Here populations of the native species are mostly intermixed with the invasive grey squirrel, but are still widespread and contiguous with the largest English red squirrel populations.
