All badgers that are vaccinated and microchipped by my Department as part of the Wildlife programme are recorded on a piece of dedicated software.
Whilst this piece of software has GIS capabilities, the geographical data is limited to the GPS co-ordinates of all main badger setts and sub setts that have been identified as part of the Wildlife programme.
