The UK Squirrel Accord
The UK Squirrel Accord (UKSA) is a UK-wide partnership of 37 leading conservation and forestry organizations, government agencies and companies, with links to voluntary red squirrel conservation groups. UKSA works collaboratively to preserve the UK’s wooded landscapes and associated biodiversity under the following aims: to secure and expand UK red squirrel populations beyond current thresholds; and to ensure UK woodlands flourish and deliver multiple benefits for future generations of wildlife and people. In addition, UKSA is currently conducting research into a non lethal fertility control method to control grey squirrel population densities and support eradication efforts in the UK.
WILD ANIMAL INITIATIVE
To advance understanding of wild animal welfare, Wild Animal Initiative conducts research and supports scientists with grants and professional services. Viewing wild systems through the lens of welfare raises new questions for researchers and wildlife managers: What are wild animals’ lives like? How can we measure their welfare? What can we do to improve their lives? Progress will require contributions from scientists across a wide range of disciplines, such as animal welfare science, ecology, animal behavior, cognitive science, physiology, and related areas.
