There is great news, as the capercaillie population has increased in Scotland for the first time in eight years!
This is great news for these unique birds, as they are critically endangered in the UK, making them one of the rarest and most endangered animals in the UK today.
The capercaillie once was found in more places in the UK, however, today, they are only found living in pine forests in the North of Scotland.
The population of these birds in Scotland is still very low: it is estimated that there are only 542 capercaillies living in the wild of Scotland today.
Wildlife conservationists have said that there has been an increase in the male population of these birds, with 19 more males this year.
Capercailles are close to extinction today due to the destruction of their habitat in Scotland - like forests being destroyed by humans.
The increase in the population of these beautiful birds offers hope for the future of capercaillies in Scotland.
To prevent capercailles going extinct in Scotland, we need to preserve our natural world and we need to rewild.
