Wildcat management plan

I am desperately trying to get hold of Scottish/European Wildcat Species Management plans and captive breeding plans.

Does anybody have any contacts that may be able to provide me with this information please?

I still wonder if genetic management isn't being made harder by the British tendency to cling onto grampia as being a good subspecies, which seems these days to be pretty much a minority opinion. It would be interesting to have a few European (or any non UK) chatters' take on this issue.
 
one place to see it could be Highland wildlife park in kingussie Scotland where I saw almost 10 scottisch wildcats whith youngs in september

most problem is with hybrid they still do not know how to be sure individuals are pure or not (also within the 80 known in captivity )

Even the Highland Wildlife Park have now rounded down the number of their wildcats which are believed to be pure.
 
I wonder if serious genetic testing was done in both issues (status of grampia and which animals are domestic hybrids)? The last I heard, visual criteria were still used, which are highly unreliable.
