Badger Licence Return Data (1997 - 2008)

This dataset consists of former Countryside Council for Wales' (CCWs') collation of licence return data for work carried out affecting badgers and their setts across Wales. The purpose of this data capture was to: - add to the picture of badger distributions in Wales - collect relevant data in one place, and - mobilise records which may not otherwise be available. The dataset does not represent a systematic survey coverage of Wales, and is instead based upon ad hoc records collected from licence returns. Location of records is generally random, depending on the requirements of the licence holders. Records are provided by licence holders, who have very variable recording ability. The dataset has been subject to some basic validation to eradicate erroneous outlying records and inputting errors.

Metadata Language: English

Lineage: Licence return forms are completed by licence holders as a condition of receiving the licence. Licences are issued to organisations and individuals to permit activities which would otherwise be unlawful, such as deliberately collecting, capturing or disturbing scheduled species, or damaging or destroying their setts. Licences are generally issued for the purposes of survey, monitoring and research, or for building and other development work. This data has been packaged with other species licence return data on Recorder 6 and is available to download via the NBN Gateway (see Parent ID). Some more recent mammal licence return data has been digitised by Cofnod. Cofnod act as data custodian and hold the top copy of this licence return data, not the data held in Recorder 6 which is managed by NRW.
