Seeing wildlife can be incredible, but it can be hard to know what to do in certain situations. Maybe you have come across an injured or dead animal, or maybe you suspect that a crime has been committed.  We will do our best to point you in the right direction on who best to ask for help.

Who to report an incident to?

Here in Wales most incidents need to be reported to Natural Resources Wales.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is the largest Welsh Government Sponsored Body - employing 1,900 staff across Wales with a budget of £180 million. They formed in April 2013, largely taking over the functions of the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW), Forestry Commission Wales and the Environment Agency in Wales, as well as certain Welsh Government functions.
