England's red squirrels are close to extinction and the government needs to do more to protect them, an animal welfare group said.

A petition set up by Save Our Reds, has attracted more than 75,000 signatures, urging more action.

Founder of the campaign Marie Carter-Robb, said: "We have a series of urgent actions that need to be brought together into one joined-up national plan."

Weird. One moment (only this weekend) I'm reading about Pine Marten reintroductions and how that's helping red squirrels reestablish themselves, and what a success that's being. And the next I'm reading about the demise of the ref squirrel and how something needs to be done about it.
