"Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust has secured the lease for Dalnacardoch
Estate, which sits entirely within the Cairngorms National Park, halfway
between Blair Atholl and Dalwhinnie.

This will be the conservation charity’s first project in Scotland.

Durrell has a long-term vision to revive the estate by applying its proven
techniques to restoring habitats and ecological processes, as well as
recovering iconic missing species such as the capercaillie, which is currently
facing extinction in Scotland.

The Trust’s scientific approach combines hands-on species management with
habitat restoration while working alongside local communities and training
conservationists.

Significant ecological audits of the site, to establish the geography, species
and habitats, are already taking place. These surveys will be ongoing and
continue to inform the long-term strategic vision for rewilding the estate in
line with the interests of the wider community and the requirements of being in
a national park."
