Red squirrels get their own tsar

A red squirrel tsar has been appointed by Scottish Natural Heritage to help increase numbers.
The new "champion" will work with red squirrel enthusiasts across Scotland but is also appealing for help from the wider public.

The official title of Mel Tonkin's new job is Scottish Squirrel Survey Co-ordinator.

Scotland is home to about three-quarters of the UK's entire population of red squirrels.


It means that Dr Tonkin will be in charge of about 121,000 of the animals, but their numbers are declining every year.

Her job is to find out where the remaining red squirrels are and work out what can be done to protect them.

Must be a slow news day.
