Red Squirrel Disease Monitoring Programme:

The JSPCA Animals' Shelter, in association with the States of Jersey Environment Division, is embarking upon a study researching into the prevalence of disease in Jersey’s red squirrel population. The programme will ultimately help to improve the care, welfare and conservation of Jersey's red squirrel population.  

The undertaking of this project addresses a number of proposed actions outlined in the States of Jersey Red Squirrel Biodiversity Action Plan, one of which includes monitoring Jersey’s red squirrel population for signs of disease.
