Record Number of Hen Harriers 'Killed' Is at 'Devastating' New High, Warn RSPB

  • On June 26, the RSPB released a report revealing 102 Hen Harriers were illegally killed or went missing from 2020 to 2024, mainly on or near grouse moors in northern England.
  • Driven by financial interests, wealthy estate owners illegally persecute Hen Harriers to protect grouse chicks, despite legal protections and subsidies, causing ongoing species decline.
  • Evidence shows 112 satellite-tagged Hen Harriers disappeared on or near grouse moors between 2010 and 2024, with real-time GPS data collated annually, underscoring ongoing illegal persecution.
  • Ahead of Monday's Westminster Hall debate, over 100,000 signatures support banning driven grouse shooting to end illegal raptor persecution.
  • Building on Scotland's 2024 licensing law, the RSPB urges England to implement similar measures to deter wildlife crime, with long-term implications for industry regulation.
