Interesting to see a quote from a "police wildlife crime officer".
Does a "wildlife crimes" unit exist in any police force in Australia?
I doubt if one could get any police here interested in "wildlife
crime", most would think it is something that occurs in places like
Kings Cross or St Kilda.

here's another example. I was on Mull in Scotland a few months ago and
locals were very aggrieved about the actions of a photographer,
perceived to have interfered with the breeding of a pair of White-
Tailed Sea Eagles. The recent exchanges on Birding-Aus prompted me to
see what had transpired, as per the link below. Not a huge sum of
money, but action nevertheless and I am sure that there are many more
such examples. I suppose that overall debate hinges on stopping the
wilful and educating the clumsy.
