This document contains the fundraising strategy for the Cairngorms National Park. It outlines the need for diverse funding sources from public, private, and voluntary sectors to support the delivery of the emergency plan, building on the Cairngorms Capercaillie Project (CCP) model. The strategy aims to leverage funding opportunities for non-governmental organisations, private sector entities, and local communities, focusing on habitat expansion and enhancement through initiatives like the Forestry Grant Scheme (FGS), Nature Restoration Fund, and Peatland ACTION. The document also presents a breakdown of estimated budgets for various activities between 2024 and 2030, including management coordination, habitat expansion, reducing predation impacts, fence removal, disturbance reduction, research and monitoring, with the overall goal of improving conditions for capercaillie and boosting biodiversity.
