红松鼠在苏格兰高原地区扩大了25%以上的范围, Red squirrels have expanded their range by over 25% in Scotland’s Highlands due to a Trees for Life reintroduction project. 自2015年以来,259个松鼠被迁至13个新地点,在他们数十年来缺席的地区,包括Brora、Ullapool和Morvern,建立了至少12个蓬勃发展的人口。 Since 2015, 259 squirrels have been relocated to 13 new sites, establishing at least 12 thriving populations in areas where they were absent for decades, including Brora, Ullapool, and Morvern. 这项由NatureScot授权的努力针对无松鼠的灰色生境,以保护免受侵入性灰色和致命的松鼠天花病毒的侵扰。 The effort, authorized by NatureScot, targets grey squirrel-free habitats to protect against invasive greys and the deadly squirrel pox virus. 该项目支持遗传多样性，采用补充喂养，并作为耗资360万英镑的更广泛失踪物种计划的一部分，旨在恢复红松鼠、猞猁、河狸以及现代类似野牛的牛品种。 The project supports genetic diversity, uses supplemental feeding, and is part of a broader £3.6 million Missing Species Programme aiming to restore red squirrels, lynx, beavers, and a modern aurochs-like cattle breed. 苏格兰拥有大约80%的英国红松鼠。 Scotland hosts about 80% of the UK’s red squirrels.
