The public is being asked to share their views on what the Cairngorms National Park should prioritise over the next five years.

A consultation will run for 12 weeks to understand what locals want to include in the 2018-2023 Cairngorms Nature Action Plan.

So far the draft focuses on reintroducing wildcats, curlews, pine hoverflies and other species to the area.

Andy Wells, chairman of Cairngorms Nature, a partnership which aims to drive forward conservation projects in the park, urged interested people to share their opinions.

He said: “This is a place hugely valued by people for diverse reasons and a landscape of immense importance to wildlife much of which depends on, and is a product of the working of the land over generations.

“It is also a landscape where there is a shared vision to create even more diversity, even greater abundance of distinctive habitats and species which is internationally recognised for its quality of environment – but with people at its heart.

“We know we have something very special here in the Cairngorms National Park but we must never be complacent and must always be striving to protect and enhance the area’s unique cultural and natural heritage features.”

Judith Webb, board member of park authority said: “It is important to stress that this is not a Park Authority action plan but a plan for everyone who lives, works, visits, enjoys or cares for this wonderful national park.

“Conservation in the park will only be really sustainable in the long-term by putting people at its heart through decision making so please do get involved.”
