Predator Management Guidance

We recognise the significance of predators as one of several drivers of wader decline. With support from BASC Wildlife Fund, we have worked with farmers, gamekeepers and conservation organisations to develop a suite of practical guides to manage predation impact for waders, including the use of new non-lethal techniques such as nest-fencing and diversionary feeding. The guidance available to download below is just the start of a much wider effort to support, evaluate and gather data on predator management across the varied landscape of the UK. If you have comments or ideas for this work, please contact us!
