Last month a local campaign group called Friends of the Dales launched a new campaign to raise awareness of illegal raptor persecution in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (see here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This new campaign from the local community follows the \u00a0recent collapse<\/a>\u00a0of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Bird of Prey Partnership (due to its failure to tackle crimes against birds of prey), and the\u00a0news<\/a>\u00a0that since 2015, 29 Hen Harriers have gone \u2018missing\u2019 in suspicious circumstances and almost 40 other raptors have been found poisoned, trapped or shot in the Yorkshire Dales National Park since 2015, including Peregrines, Hen Harriers, Red Kites and Buzzards.<\/p>\n

The Friends of the Dales group is planning a series of events as part of its campaign, and it kicked off with a webinar delivered by Kate Jennings, Head of Conservation and Species Policy at the RSPB, who gave a detailed overview about raptor persecution in the UK.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The webinar was recorded and is now available to watch on the Friends of the Dales YouTube channel here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
