NatureScot is currently running one of its periodic public consultations reviewing the use of General Licences for wildlife management.
As discussed earlier this week, RSPB Scotland considers the current system of General Licensing as being “unfit for purpose” (see here).
Campaign group Wild Justice agrees with that position and has produced a step-by-step guide for anyone who wants to participate in the public consultation.
It’s important that participants use their own words rather than a cut and paste job, so the Wild Justice guidance is exactly that – just guidance.
The consultation closes on 31 August 2026 (this coming Monday) although the terms of reference for the consultation don’t provide a specific closure time on Monday, so if you’re able to complete the process before Monday that would be ideal.
Thank you

Done.
I have completed numerous of these, suggested and guided by Wild Justice or others. Unfortunately this just is not enough notice for me.
Excellent help from the guidance. It was a good guide in my response, although I did not use all the suggestions. Thanks very much.
