BBC Scotland - Scotland’s Wildlife, Series 1, Supporting native species

Find out about Scotland's red squirrels, and the reintroduction of beavers into Argyll.

The red squirrel and the beaver are both native to Scotland. Find out more about these two species and the work being done to help them thrive in the Scottish countryside.

The red squirrel and the beaver are both native to Scotland, but both have suffered due to human activity. Grey squirrels were introduced from America in the 19th Century, and have overrun the reds in many areas. The beavers have a different story, they were hunted to extinction 400 years ago, but four families of beavers have recently been brought over to Scotland from Norway. Both species are now the focus of conservation work to protect and help them to live in the Scottish countryside.
