The Partnership for Action against Wildlife Crime (PAW) is a multi-agency organisation that promotes enforcement of wildlife legislation in the UK. PAW Scotland operates with some degree of independence but within the overall UK structure. PAW Scotland has established a fund to promote new and innovative projects tackling wildlife crime in Scotland in one of several areas which include Prevention, Intelligence and Enforcement. The fund has £220,000 to award for project up to 2011 and grants will be awarded to support individuals and organisations in the public/private and voluntary sectors. In this regard SRSGs are a signatory to PAW and it would be extremely useful if anyone came up with a suitable project involving raptors which should be one of the key strategic areas of PAW work.
