Urgent calls to prevent the extinction of red squirrels
England's red squirrels are close to extinction and the government needs to do more to protect them, an animal welfare group said.
A petition set up by Save Our Reds, has attracted more than 75,000 signatures, urging more action.
Founder of the campaign Marie Carter-Robb, said: "We have a series of urgent actions that need to be brought together into one joined-up national plan."

Weird. One moment (only this weekend) I'm reading about Pine Marten reintroductions and how that's helping red squirrels reestablish themselves, and what a success that's being. And the next I'm reading about the demise of the ref squirrel and how something needs to be done about it.
Just read the two articles in reverse order. /s
