## **2022 UK WILD OTTER TRUST ANNUAL REPORT OF ACTIVITIES** ## **NEW REHABILITATION CENTRE:** We moved premises to a larger, easier to manage site of 2 acres by kind permission of our Hon: President The Earl of Lichfield. The site now comprises of 20 purpose built otter cub rehabilitation enclosures, 1 site hospital room, 4 indoor cub monitoring rooms with water & electric on site for such purposes. ## **REHABILITATION OF OTTER CUBS/ADULTS:** 2022 saw an upturn in the number of orphans needed our help. 2021 saw us deal with 22 in with 18 released back to the wild. 2022 saw us receive 32 in and release 26 back to the wild. All of our rehabilitation work is carried out with the support of public funding. We are of the opinion that more are being found and brought to us as a result of people still working from home as a result of Covid. ## **FISHERY INVESTIGATION WORK:** We had several calls regarding the alleged, suspected wrongdoings or illegal persecution of otters. Fisheries were visited and illegally set traps were removed under Police presence and destroyed. The owners of the fisheries were educated on the law and are unlikely to replace traps at these sites. No prosecutions were brought forward in these cases. ## **PLANS FOR 2023:** Our goals for 2023 are to install a 2[nd] cub hospital room on site with a 2[nd] weighing shed. Once this has been completed, we will have reached our goal in terms of the rehabilitation unit. This work will increase our capacity to 40 animals.
