Raising Awareness of Badger Crime: an educational video for teenagers and secondary schools

In 2018, we were approached by police officers requesting we launch a school education programme to raise awareness about illegal badger persecution to teenage children. We worked with local badger groups and police forces to deliver education sessions in schools across England and Wales to raise awareness of badger ecology, illegal badger persecution and legislation. In 2021, we have driven the project in a new and exciting direction, by creating an inspiring documentary film about badgers and the threats they face, with Alex Collins, a young conservationist and filmmaker. We’re inviting anyone working with teenagers to feature the 16-minute documentary in their schedules, particularly: • secondary schools • youth work settings • badger groups • wildlife organisations • police officers Upon request, we’re also offering a free education support pack to supplement the video that contains: • teaching resources • a copy of our magical wildlife crime novel ‘A Badger’s Tale’, written by Geoff Francis • a comprehensive information document about badger ecology and crime In the documentary, Alex takes the audience deep into the forest to the site of a badger sett. Delving into the lives of badgers, he explores not only their ecology and how vital they are to their ecosystems, but also the terrible persecution they face at the hands of humans, particularly in the form of badger baiting. The film teaches teenagers how to recognise signs of the wildlife crime and asks them to contemplate safe ways they can help protect badgers if they suspect persecution is happening.
