The project will focus on UK woodlands with red squirrel populations, grey squirrel populations, and areas where both live side by side. It will see Huawei AI capabilities used to generate vital information on these squirrel populations. Data generated through this collaboration will then be used b...
squirrelpoxRemnant red squirrel populations in the UK mainland are threatened by squirrelpox viral disease and the reservoir of the squirrelpox virus, the invasive grey squirrel, is expanding its range. Until this threat can be effectively mitigated, there is a high risk from disease outbreaks, ...
If the spread of the grey squirrel continues uncontrolled,the species could spread as far as France, the scientists fear. They are calling for more research and control and conservation measures aimed at preserving the remaining red squirrel populations and containing the spread of the greys. ...
The new squirrel populations are not only living in their new homes, they are also starting to spread out into new areas, with squirrels being sighted as far as 15km away, “said Becky Priestley, Trees for Life’s wildlife officer. The first relocation began in the spring of 2016, ...

The red squirrel, found throughout Eurasia, has experienced a great population reduction in recent years. In 2007, just 25,000 could be found throughout the UK after a one-time high of 3.5 million. This is often because of the fact that their grey cousins have a larger appetite(食欲) an...
Red squirrels are rare in the UK largely because they are out-competed and replaced by populations of grey squirrels (check out the links for more info). (Full text) Distribution - The red squirrel is abundant in any kind of forest, coniferous, pine, mixed or hardwood forests, often around...
As non-lethal methods are ineffective, the conservation of red squirrels is dependent upon the culling, via live trapping, lethal spring traps and shooting, of invasive grey squirrel populations. Red squirrel translocation using both wild and captive bred animals has been pivotal in regional ...
