Performance Committee - Paper 3 - Bringing beavers back project

This document contains the latest updates on the Bringing Beavers Back project in the Cairngorms National Park. The Cairngorms National Park Authority is asking the Performance Committee to review these updates, which show good progress in line with the project's goals and budget. The project aims to establish a healthy beaver population in the park, which will benefit both wildlife and people. So far, the project has raised awareness about beavers, released beaver families into the Upper Spey catchment, and supported a mitigation scheme for land managers. The Cairngorms National Park Authority is managing any risks through staffing, a monitoring plan, and groups that support stakeholders like farmers.
