More than 1,000 of you have already taken part in our national red squirrel survey – and the message is powerful.

Over 97% believe red squirrels need far stronger protection than they currently receive.

Many of you have shared thoughtful, moving comments – from frustration at unchecked deforestation to stories of red squirrel sightings that have stayed with you for years.

The survey closes at midnight on Sunday.

If you haven’t yet taken part, now’s the time: Red Squirrel Survey

We're aiming for 1,500 responses to show just how strong public support really is.

Thank you for standing up for our native reds – and for reminding decision-makers that this is an issue people care deeply about.
