its listed as LC on the iucn red list. But as a species they are threatened in England because of predators like falcons and dogs cats and foxes. But the biggest threat of all is Grey squirrels which were introduced to England from North America . firstly they out compete reds in all ways in food it can eat more and it will bully reds for food and territory which makes reds less likely to breed. But the biggest problem with Grey's is that they carry squirrel parapoxvirus which grays are immune to but will kill reds.
deforestation and being killed by man made objects such as cars also affect population's.

Why are scientists so concerned about endangered species today?
One of the major reasons for endangered species is habitat loss. Also, people are cutting down trees and they are polluting the lakes, rivers, ponds, and any other water you see outside. Also there has been a lot of fires and a lot of floods. Another reason is that people have been littering. People have been throwing trash on the roads and near wildlife areas. One of the major reasons for endangered species is habitat loss. The hand of man has accelerated extinction on a massive scale in the last two centuries. People traveled to islands where they had never been, bringing cats and dogs along with them. The creatures on these islands had not developed any defense against such predators. We killed others for food, thinking they were so abundant they could never be completely wiped out. But all one has to do is read the story of the passenger pigeon to see how foolish that notion was. I only pray that in the future we will learn to be better stewards of this planet and the creatures that call it home. Extinction is forever.
