PAW Scotland is offering grants for projects that tackle and riase awareness of wildlife crime in Scotland
The Partnership for Action against Wildlife Crime (PAW) Scotland has announced a new fund for fighting wildlife crime in Scotland, and has £220,000 to award to projects up until the end of March 2011.
The fund is designed to support innovative projects to help tackle and raise awareness of wildlife crime in Scotland. “Projects must improve the gathering and transfer of information and intelligence about crimes or help to prevent wildlife crime,” said a PAW Scotland spokesman. Each award will be up to £20,000 and for up to 50 per cent of the project’s total costs.
The wildlife crime investigations support officer for Scotland at the National Wildlife Crime Unit is currently receiving funding through the scheme. So too is the the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust’s project to train wildlife crime officers about the use of traps and snares.
