description: 'Wildlife Detective' is an account of over 40 years policing a sector of criminal activity about which much of the public and even some police officers are unaware. The serious side to this book demonstrates the breadth of wildlife crime, with case studies covering the taking of freshwater pearl mussels, poisoning birds of prey, illegal trapping and snaring, egg collecting, cruelty, crime against bats and much more. It highlights the inadequacies of early wildlife legislation and the consequent failures of cases that have resulted in improved law today.
