15th Dec 2022 : Cairngorm Capercaillie Project : Indoor Talk Sportsmans Club Aberdeen

Carolyn Robertson will be speaking about the Cairngorm Capercaillie Project at the Aberdeen Sportsmans Club on 15th December 2022. Time TBC. Admission price is £4.

There are now only 542 capercaillie left in the UK. Over 85% of them live in the Cairngorms National Park. Action in the National Park is therefore critical to prevent extinction in the UK and build a long-term future for the species.

Saving a species on the brink of extinction and planning for the future at the same time will always be complex. There is no ‘silver bullet’. The project’s work therefore involves five essential actions delivered across the Cairngorms National Park.

1 Helping communities to create and deliver their own community-led actions for capercaillie
2 Raising awareness of the plight of capercaillie and how people can help
3 Researching the genetic diversity of capercaillie in the National Park to help inform action
4 Improving and creating more habitat for capercaillie and controlling predators in key areas
5 Strengthening capercaillie monitoring to enable more informed decisions

More information will be given and how we can all help to achieve their goal.
