Data for the number of wildlife crime incidences reported by UK police forces for the period 2010-2016

UK National Wildlife Crime Unit did not have the information requested.

Dear UK National Wildlife Crime Unit,

I am currently working on a dissertation project looking at wildlife crime and the illegal wildlife trade in the UK.

I would like to submit a freedom of information request to you for numerical data on the number of wildlife crime incidences submitted to you by police forces for the period 2010-2016. Additional helpful breakdowns of said data would be:

-Which police force submitted what data

-A breakdown of the time period into months/quarters

-Breakdown of the types of Wildlife crime incidences reported;
(e.g. Deer poaching, Fish poaching, Badger persecution – including baiting, snaring, shooting, and disturbance of setts, Bat persecution, Egg theft / collection, Bird of Prey persecution – through poisoning, trapping, shooting, disturbance of nest and/or theft of chicks, The trade in ivory, tortoises, rhino horn and other protected species covered by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) including caviar, Traditional Chinese Medicines, and orchids), Non registration of certain birds and animals that require licensing through DEFRA/Animal Health if kept in captivity or sold)

Provision of all or part of this request would be extremely helpful!

Thank you for taking the time to read my correspondance.

Yours faithfully,

Laura Oxley
