prosecutions for wildlife crime

[Jo Pedder]

Hello,

I'm intending to compile a spreadsheet of successful prosecutions for wildlife crime, particularly when developers have committed an offence. The intention is that if I have this list it will be easier for consultants, such as myself, to persuade clients to do as we recommend.

If anyone knows of any good resources, or specific examples it would be great if you could post them here. If its the kind of thing forum members are interested in i'm happy to send the final database to Stuart for storage here somewhere.

thanks in advance


Jo

Hi Jo,

There are quite few articles that you can search in the newspaper - www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/newspaper - and some of the police forces (I think I read about North Wales recently) have started to keep more comprehensive records. Here's one I've just found:

http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/ne...wildlife-crime

but there are plenty more if you use the search box in the top of the right column of the newspaper.

We'd certainly be more than happy to add a 'Wildlife Crime' area to the reference section of the site, so let us know if we can help out in any way.

Cheers

Stuart

hey, i have found the website, unfortunatly though some areas are a bit limited in ifo and dated now,but if you go to www.defra.gov.uk/paw and then go to recent prosecutions you will find some cases.
