Natural Justice: A Joint Thematic Inspection of the Arrangements in Scotland for Preventing, Investigating and Prosecuting Wildlife Crime

We are grateful for the time and attention that staff across all agencies afforded this inspection. Whilst acknowledging that this inevitably distracted them from their daily work, we believe that to conduct such reviews without the input from those closest to the issues would be to greatly impoverish the process.

We are particularly grateful to those people whose involvement in these matters is on a voluntary basis. It serves as a useful reminder to many of us that the term 'professional' need not involve payment to secure the highest levels of commitment and expertise.
