How many red squirrel?

The population of red squirrels varies significantly by region and is influenced by factors such as habitat availability, food sources, and competition with invasive species like the gray squirrel. In the UK, for example, their numbers have declined, with estimates suggesting around 120,000 individuals remaining. However, in some areas of Europe, red squirrel populations can be more stable. Accurate counts are challenging, so numbers can fluctuate yearly.
