Conservation Emergencies

WAYNE HUTCHINSON,
he Department of Conservation has launched a national 0800 freephone service for conservation emergencies. The service will be available 24 hours and 365 days of the year by calling 0800 DOCHOTLine (0800 36 24 68). The freephone facility is designed to provide a more effective and accessible service for the public and to ensure the department is able to respond to conservation emergencies as quickly as possible. Callers will be linked with the department’s duty officers
in the nearest conservancy either directly or through a national answering service. The number is for emergencies only and should be used when callers wish to report illegal activity associated with conservation land, facilities or wildlife, including illegal whitebait fishing. The number should also be used to report whale strandings and on any other occasions when any native wildlife is in distress or obviously injured.
