Undisturbed - a new social media crime prevention campaign

(NWCU)

The UK National Wildlife Crime Unit (NWCU) recently launched a new social media crime prevention campaign titled Undisturbed calling on all UK wildlife photographers and drone operators to ensure the welfare of wild animals while photographing or filming them. The initiative runs until 1st November.
 
While many natural wildlife visitor attractions are carefully controlled and monitored by conservation organisations, concern has been raised by some of the UK's leading wildlife photographers ‎with regard to unmanaged areas.  Incidents of disturbance are often caused by photographers approaching too close to animals forcing them into a sudden and involuntary change in behaviour to escape.
