Red Squirrel revival

I was very pleased to see this report on the BBC News Magazine site:

The place that has wiped out grey squirrels - BBC News
Quote:

The red squirrel has been in severe decline in the UK but one island has completely eliminated grey squirrels to promote a red resurgence. Could it lead to a wider programme of eradication, asks Rachel Argyle.
I know it's not the fault of the grey squirrels that they're here, but it would be nice to see red squirrels become more widespread again.

I remember seeing a picture of a red squirrel on National Savings Stamps when I was a child:
