'Wildlife crime: call to action'
 
In August 2016 a wildlife crime article was published in the Veterinary Ireland Journal.
 
'Globally, wildlife crime threatens biodiversity and sustainable development of communities. Ana Vale, Mike Rendle and Emma Higgs, Wildlife Rehabilitation Ireland (WRI), discuss how veterinary professionals can provide medical assistance and raise awareness.

IRISH VETS ON THE FRONT LINE
Veterinary professionals are on the front line when it comes to wildlife casualties as their encounters with possible wildlife crime may range from a member of the public presenting a wildlife casualty for attention, to a request to treat a dog with suspicious injuries.'

In October 2016, James Delaney, and his brother John Delaney were prosecuted under
Section 23 of the Wildlife Acts.  
Great work was done by Padraig O’Donnell and Noel Bugler, North Eastern Region, National Parks and Wildlife Service.
Convicting people of wildlife crimes is extremely difficult and a huge amount of effort goes into it.
Find the full report at Wildlife Crime Ireland website under the 'Case Details' tab on the 'Prosecutions' page.

This conference focuses on Raptor ecology, conservation and monitoring and will host presentations by recognised experts from Ireland and beyond.
The conference should be of interest not only to Ornithologists but to anyone involved in Ecology, Conservation and the Environment.
