Wildlife
The Cairngorms National Park is home to a quarter of the UK’s rare and endangered species. Its rich habitats are a haven for an array of wildlife, from iconic birds to elusive plants and flowers.
Wildfire management
As the climate changes, the risk of wildfires is ever more present in our daily lives and in a National Park, a wildfire has the potential to be devastating.
