EIR Request - Wildlife Stowaway Interceptions

Request 101003789018

I would like to request

1. access to any available data on wildlife stowaways intercepted in the United Kingdom between 1st January 2015 and April 2025, which would be an ideal period for research. Specifically, I am seeking information (where available) on all amphibians, reptiles and invertebrates (non-agricultural pest invertebrate species such as tarantulas, scorpions and myriapods but excluding agricultural pest such as aphid species etc.) intercepted across all modes of transport (air, sea, road, rail).
 

I would greatly appreciate data including but not limited to the following fields, where recorded:
• Date of interception (if available)
• Year
• Species name
• Sex
• Status (dead or alive)
• Country of origin
• Means of arrival (e.g. within cargo, luggage, containers)
• Location of arrival (e.g. which port, airport, city)
• Mode of transport (e.g. ship, airplane, truck, etc.)
• Who reported the presence (e.g. customs officer, public, etc.)
• Whether the interception was commercial-related
