Celebrating one of Britain’s most loved native species 💚
As our red squirrel emoji petition with The Wildlife Trusts closes tomorrow, we asked the team at Whinfell to share their favourite memories of these auburn forest residents.
Whilst sightings at Whinfell have increased by 24% over the past year, sadly this isn’t the case across the rest of the UK, where only 120,000 red squirrels remain today.
And yet, there isn’t an emoji that represents them as, smartphones currently only feature a North American chipmunk emoji > 🐿️
Together, we can help give this endangered species the recognition they deserve. Check the comments to sign the petition and help safeguard their future.
