This service is for reporting wildlife crime, which includes:

• poaching

• persecution of badgers, birds and bats
• egg theft and collection

If what you need to tell us about hasn't happened yet, it's something you've heard about or think someone might be planning to do, or it's something you're not sure is a crime. You can tell us about that here.
