Red Squirrel Fact not BBC Panorama Rubbish
(September 01, 2010)The recent BBC Panorama programme entitled Britain's Disappearing Wildlife featured the Anglesey Red Squirrel Project and a brief interview with Dr Craig Shuttleworth. Craig has been instrumental in eradicating Grey Squirrels from Anglesey in order to restore and protect a healthy growing Red Squirrel population.
During the interview Craig was accused of playing at God, a totally crass and stupid accusation. If you wish to watch an accurate and factual short film about Red Squirrels, including an interview with Craig, Alan Titchmarsh and David Stapleford please go to this address:

Alan is an Ambassador for Red Squirrel Survival Trust and more than anybody, David Stapleford has been responsible for raising the plight of the Red Squirrel, establishing a captive breeding programme and tirelessly promoting Red Squirrel conservation
This section of film is from The Red Squirrel - A Legacy for the Future which I have been working on along with The Country Channel TV CEO Paul Aitkin.
