Durham County Badger Group is joining forces with the local police force, the RSPCA and the UK National Wildlife Crime Unit to improve intelligence about badger-related crime within County Durham.

Badgers and their setts are protected by the Protection of Badger Act 1992. People involved in badger-related crimes are often violent, organised, travelling criminals, and the Badger Group are asking the general public to help them to combat this cruelty.
