This document contains the latest updates on the Cairngorms Capercaillie Project, presented for discussion by the Performance Committee. The committee is asked to review progress towards the project's goals, consider impacts on the Cairngorms National Park Authority's (CNPA) Corporate Plan and Partnership Plan, and assess any effects on the CNPA's strategic risk management. The project has seen positive progress, with habitat improvements and increased social media engagement, though some aspects are facing delays. The project is operating with a full staff and is working to address potential risks, including staffing workload, resource allocation, and reputational issues. The Cairngorms Capercaillie Project Board will decide in June whether to seek a project extension to make sure of a firm legacy across all areas of work within the project.
