The cash has been announced to aid red squirrel conservation efforts in key areas across Scotland for the next two years.
The Scottish red squirrel’s war for survival against its invading grey cousins has been bolstered with nature funding of £1million to expand a Highland “buffer zone”.
This will pave the way for a long-term southward shift of the current “Highland Line Control Zone” - the six-mile zone stretching from Balloch to Montrose which acts as a buffer to protect Scotland’s Highland red-only squirrel population from advancing greys. SSRS has been working since 2009 to protect our iconic red squirrels, whose populations are under threat from non-native grey squirrels which outcompete them for food and living space.
Dr Katherine Leys of NatureScot said: “Scotland’s red squirrels are one of our well-loved symbols of nature, but they are threatened by non-native grey squirrels.
