本报告总结了SNH委托的三个补充项目的调查结果，为野猫保护的优先区域的选择提供信息;正如2013年苏格兰野猫保护行动计划所建议的那样。范围界定项目结合了实地调查、分类学和遗传学评估、种群建模以及公众对野猫保护措施态度的问卷调查。该报告从SNH预选的九个调查区域中推荐了六个野猫优先区域。被推荐为优先区域的地点都有证据表明，根据猫的外观，它们被归类为野猫。然而，也发现了家猫或杂交猫（家猫和野猫之间），这突出了保护行动的必要性，以减少它们对野猫造成的杂交和疾病风险。
This report summarises the findings of three complementary projects commissioned by SNH to inform the selection of Priority Areas for wildcat conservation; as proposed in the Scottish Wildcat Conservation Action Plan 2013. The scoping projects combined field surveys, taxonomic and genetic assessments, population modelling and a questionnaire survey of public attitudes to wildcat conservation measures. The report makes a recommendations for six wildcat Priority Areas from the nine areas pre-selected by SNH for survey. The sites recommended as Priority Areas all had evidence of cats that were classified as wildcats based on their appearance. However, domestic cats or hybrids (between domestic cats and wildcats) were also found, highlighting the need for conservation actions to reduce the risks they pose to wildcats from hybridisation and disease.
