This document contains a performance committee paper from the Cairngorms National Park Authority, dated 12 December 2024, regarding the Cairngorms Nature Action Plan. The paper asks the committee to note the achievements and lessons learned from the 2019-2024 Action Plan and approve the process for developing the 2025-2030 plan. The Action Plan is one of the four key strategies which support delivery of the National Park Partnership Plan. It aims to create a carbon negative and biodiversity-rich National Park with resilient ecosystems, building upon national strategies and policies. The development of the plan involves collaboration with land managers, partners, and stakeholders, and a six-week consultation is planned. The 2025-2030 Action Plan, representing clear actions to deliver, and report on, National Park Partnership Plan objectives, will be published with the support of a wide range of stakeholders in October 2025.
