2008 Quarterly Reports
The results for all four quarters of 2008 are now published in Excel format. Previously the quarterly results have been published and updated separately as pdf documents only. Now all the cases for are available for viewing in one searchable spreadsheet, including by quarter, county, country, species and month of incident. The pdf files for quarters 1 and 2 for 2008 have been deleted but a pdf version of the entire spreadsheet is available on request. The pdf versions of the quarterly reports for 2007 will be updated in due course.
Because the results of the enquiries made by the Wildlife Incident Investigation Scheme (WIIS) are published quarterly it is possible that investigations relating to certain cases may still be ongoing and it may be necessary to limit the information published.
