Following a call from Wildlife Crime Liaison Officer, Alan Stewart, I'm pleased to announce that the Wildlife Crime Book 2 will be in publication this September.

If anybody is interested in purchasing book 2 please e mail me (e-mail address on contact page)

Book 2 will cover Wildlife Crime throughout the whole of the UK.

Book 3 will be ready for publishing September 2009 and will include the Montrose case outcome, the Seal Protection Group and the current situation re the CSA Act 1970 at time of print - again this book will cover the entire UK.

Alan and James McGovern have also expressed interest to join the Seal Protection Group as have other WCLO's throughout the UK.
