charitable sources, plus over £100,000 of volunteer time. This combined resource
leveraged £2 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and attracted
additional funding, taking the total investment to over £3 million. The fundraising
strategy for the Emergency Plan focuses on upscaling this approach.
The Emergency Plan offers significant opportunities for non-governmental
organisations, private sector entities and local communities to leverage funding
which they are best placed to access, to deliver packages of work which match
theirs and the fundersÕ objectives. Public funding will be focussed on providing
long term resilience through habitat expansion and enhancement. This will be
primarily through the Forestry Grant Scheme (FGS), management of public
landholdings, Nature Restoration Fund and Peatland ACTION.
The collective agreement from a wide range of stakeholders provides
assurance to funders that the interventions outlined in this plan are the right
priorities on which to focus, delivering the greatest return for investment for
capercaillie and wider biodiversity.
