Petition updateSave Our Red Squirrels: Enforce Protection Laws and Protect UK Woodland Habitat🚨 BRITAIN'S RED SQUIRRELS ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME 🚨
Marie Carter-RobbDurham, ENG, United Kingdom
May 15, 2026

Today is the first national Save Our Reds Day, and it falls on Endangered Species Day for a reason.

There is still no clear, coordinated UK-wide plan to save our red squirrels from extinction.

Once widespread across Britain, our native reds are now confined to fragments of surviving woodland. Habitat loss continues. Protections remain weak. And without urgent action, they could disappear from mainland England within around 25 years, with populations across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland increasingly under threat.

We cannot keep managing decline while one of Britain's most loved native mammals vanishes in real time.

Please read. Please share. Help us fight for their future.
