Interesting to see the Government using Savvy the Squirrel to encourage people to invest in their future.

Good to see they’ve chosen a red rather than a grey squirrel for their newly launched campaign.

But what about investing in the future of the UK’s real red squirrels?

If we can build a national campaign around a cartoon squirrel, surely we can build a properly funded plan to protect the real one.

More than 77,000 people have already signed the petition, with growing national media coverage including the BBC and Sky News.

As we approach the first ever Save Our Reds Day on Friday 15 May, it’s time to turn awareness into action.

Please share the petition far and wide.
