This document contains a progress report on the Cairngorms Capercaillie Project, which is working to help capercaillie survive in the UK. The project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund until 2023, with work happening across the Cairngorms National Park. The key actions include community-led projects, raising awareness, researching genetic diversity, improving habitat, and monitoring capercaillie. The project involves many partners like the Cairngorms National Park Authority, estates, and community groups. It reports on progress in different areas like Carrbridge, mountain biking, business, visitors, and Deeside communities, and also identifies risks and issues. The report also details the budget, income, and expenditure, listing the funding received from various sources, the breakdown of contributions, and how the money is being spent on community projects, habitat improvement, and staff.
