Red squirrel populations have declined since the introduction of the grey squirrel n 1876 and it is now thought there are less than 140,000 red squirrels left in the UK.

Currently in Northern Ireland red squirrels are distributed in the Mourne Mountains, south and west Tyrone and Co. L‘Derry, the Glens of Antrim and Fermanagh.
