The red squirrel is an endangered species in Britain, despite being the country’s only native squirrel breed.
🐿️ The King, Patron of The Red Squirrel Survival Trust, has long supported efforts to restore the red squirrel population.
His Majesty visited a conservation initiative developed by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), which aims to humanely control grey squirrel numbers and support the recovery of the UK’s red squirrel population.
At the APHA site in Yorkshire, The King met scientists and researchers working on a new oral contraceptive project designed to slow the growth of grey squirrel populations, which threaten both red squirrels and Britain’s native broadleaf woodlands.
