Capercaillie Emergency Plan related documents

This document contains a feasibility study report on reinforcing the UK's capercaillie population. The report explores different scenarios for bringing in capercaillie from other areas to help the Scottish population, since the Capercaillie Emergency Plan recognizes that action may need to be taken to reinforce the population. It discusses the potential benefits and risks of each scenario, and includes input from stakeholders, such as land managers and conservation experts, gathered at a workshop held by the Cairngorms National Park Authority. The report recommends further investigation into potential translocation sites and methods, as well as creating a decision-making framework and conducting a population viability analysis.
