2006 WIIS Quarterly Reports

The results of the enquiries made by the Wildlife Incident Investigation Scheme (WIIS) are for the first time published quarterly on the PSD website. Because these results are published much sooner than has been the case before, it is possible that investigations relating to certain cases may still be ongoing. We will publish updates to these cases as further information becomes available.
