Emergency plan to save capercaillie from extinction

The Scottish government requested the emergency plan.

Andy Ford, of CNPA, said: “The Cairngorms National Park is home to 85% of the UK capercaillie population, so action in the national park is critical.

“Protecting capercaillie has always been a collective effort.

“Thanks to the Cairngorms Capercaillie Project more people than ever before are now actively helping the species alongside the longstanding efforts of land managers and organisations.”

Eileen Stuart, NatureScot’s deputy director of nature and climate change, said capercaillie could be extinct within 30 years unless more action was taken.

She added: The emergency plan will do just that and is the result of intensive work with over 100 stakeholders who are all committed to safeguarding the future of capercaillie.”
