Leeds, 1 April 2009
Field ecologists may come across evidence of wildlife crime in their day to day work but may not know how, or indeed whom, to report this to. This conference aims to help delegates better understand the legislation, to identify cases of wildlife crime and improve their ability to be able to effectively report it to the appropriate authorities.
This conference will bring together professional ecologists and environmental managers to discuss and consider the important issue of wildlife crime.
