Cairngorms Nature
The Cairngorms is home to a quarter of the UK’s rare and endangered species. It contains Scotland’s largest, most natural habitats, and is home to the country’s most ambitious, landscape-scale nature conservation action
What does Cairngorms Nature do?
There are many different individuals and organisations doing fantastic conservation work in the national park. Cairngorms Nature brings this work together and focuses it over the next five years on a number of key, priority areas.
- Landscape-scale conservation, including the expansion of woodland and the restoration of peatlands and wetlands
- Focused action to improve the status of threatened or declining species
- Involving people
Cairngorms Nature is the principal delivery mechanism for delivering the Scottish Biodiversity Strategy and the Six Big Steps for Nature in the Cairngorms National Park. The Cairngorms National Park Authority Biodiversity Delivery Agreement (PDF – 161KB), outlines the role that CNPA plays as a focus for collaboration, sharing effort and resources and setting the necessary level of ambition for conservation in the Cairngorms.
