This document contains the Cairngorms Nature Action Plan mid-term report. Overall, the delivery of the Action Plan is progressing well, with 83% of targets and actions considered complete or progressing as expected. However, 11% are delayed or need more effort, largely due to COVID-19 restrictions during 2020 and 2021. Furthermore, 4% are considered at significant risk of not being delivered, and 2% are unreported. The report highlights three areas of work needing attention: peatland restoration, expansion of raptor home range occupancy and breeding success, and capercaillie population status. It also acknowledges the diverse contributions from various land managers, estates, organisations, communities, groups, and individuals towards delivering the Cairngorms Nature Action Plan.
