Natural England

The police are responsible for enforcing wildlife laws related to protected species. The majority of police forces have a Wildlife Crime Officer who can be contacted via your local police station.

Natural England monitors activities carried out under our licences and permits to ensure compliance of licence conditions. We will also investigate and, if necessary, enforce occupiers' obligations to control certain damage caused to wildlife and the spread of injurious weeds.

We are the first point of contact for members of the public wishing to report the suspected poisoning of wildlife. If you suspect a pesticide poisoning you should report this using the FREEPHONE telephone number 0800 321600:
