Appendix 6.1 – [redacted] email

This document contains an email expressing concerns about the reintroduction of beavers in the Kingussie area, sent on 17 October 2023. The sender believes a proper mitigation plan is needed to address the concerns of local farmers and crofters, including financial support for potential damage caused by beavers, and clear guidelines on where beavers should be excluded. The email also raises issues about a lack of consultation with farmers and crofters on Cairngorms National Park Authority (Park Authority) policies and questions the fairness of carbon offsetting schemes, suggesting local communities should benefit from carbon capture initiatives rather than large landowners and outside organizations.
