UK badger crime coalition relaunches Operation Badger to turn the tide on badger crime - Badger Trust

New resources to increase awareness and fight back against badger crime and persecution.

UK Badger Crime Priority Delivery Group (BCPDG) is a coalition of partner organisations that have come together to tackle badger persecution, and operates under the wing of the police-led National Wildlife Crime Unit.

The Group is re-launching its Operation Badger initiative on National Badger Day, 6th of October 2024, supported by Megan McCubbin. Operation Badger aims to increase awareness of the many types of criminal activity such as illegal trapping, poisoning, and sett disturbance that threaten badgers and to educate and encourage reporting of suspected crimes against badgers.
