Scottish Parliament Petitions

Recognise legal control of generalist predators as a conservation act

Petition Under Consideration - 2,437 Signatures
Open Petition since 27th June 2023

In a Nature Emergency, legal control of generalist predators (such as foxes and crows) should be recognised as an act of conservation benefitting the survival of ground-nesting birds.

In 2010, the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust published results of their science at Otterburn which compared plots where predators were legally managed and plots where they were not.

On average, lapwing, curlew, red grouse, golden plover and meadow pipit bred 3 times more successfully where legal predator control was carried out.

Reducing populations of abundant generalists can benefit many rarer and fragile prey species from waders and merlins to common scoters.

Just as the Parliament recognises habitat restoration as an act of conservation, so too, should it recognise control of generalist predators as similar. Both are important if we are to see ground nesting species survive in our landscape.
