      Already there, it’s the reason they are threatened.

      Reintroduction of pine martens seem to be doing the trick though.

        I worry that if the pine martins aren’t introduced quickly enough, the grey squirrels will have time to develop a fear of them before they’re all eaten, and then the weaker reds will become the easier prey. At the moment, they’re not even being deployed fast enough to preserve the status quo.
