Libby leads the Wildlife Incident Unit and the interpretation and reporting of suspected pesticide poisoning incidents, which is part of the Health and Safety Executive's Wildlife Incident Investigation Scheme (WIIS).
The WIIS has two objectives:
The WIIS relies on members of the public and individuals from other organisations to find and report the death or illness of wildlife, pets and beneficial invertebrates that may have resulted from pesticide poisoning.
Libby represents WIIS for England and Wales in the WILDCOMS network and has presented results of WIIS at UK and international fora and conferences.
The Wildlife Incident Unit (WIU) plays a key role in investigating the effects of pesticides on animals and the environment, through its contribution to the Wildlife Incident Investigation Scheme (WIIS).
