Question: The Scottish government has accepted the recommendations from its wildlife crime penalties review group.
It means courts could impose sentences of up to 12 months in jail and fines of up to Â£40,000.
Environment Minister Dr Aileen McLeod said she wanted to bring wildlife offences into line with other environmental crimes.
She said: "It is important we have appropriate penalties that deter criminality but also reflect the impact these crimes can have on our environment and Scotland's reputation as a wildlife tourism destination.
"Work will now begin on bringing together a list of relevant offences this change would apply to."
The Scottish government said it would also "take forward" a number of other recommendations.
These include greater use of alternative penalties, such as the forfeiture of equipment used to carry out offences, and greater use of impact statements in court to explain the effect a wildlife crime may have had.
Stuart Housden, director of RSPB Scotland, said the announcement was a "welcome step forward".
He said: "Scotland has some of the strongest wildlife legislation in the UK but, ultimately, we need wildlife crime to be seen as completely unacceptable so that gamekeepers, landowners and countryside bodies do not tolerate it or turn a blind eye when they suspect it.
"Sport shooting bodies that are constantly seeking to reduce the safeguards afforded to highly protected species undermine the efforts to stamp out these crimes."
The landowners' organisation, Scottish Land and Estates, welcomed the Scottish government's response to the review group's recommendations.
Chief executive Douglas McAdam said: "It is right to bring up to date the maximum penalties available to judges for certain wildlife crime offences, and to take forward other measures such as a more systematic use of impact statements and alternative penalties appropriate to the crime."

Answer: Tougher penalties are to be introduced for those found guilty of wildlife crime in Scotland.


Question: Eastbourne borough councillors voted unanimously in favour of asking the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to take the action, at a meeting on Wednesday.
The motion they passed also called for the leaders of the trust to resign.
But, trust chairman Stuart Welling said he had no plans to step down and was confident improvements could be made.
The motion was put to the full council after members of the health overview and committee said they had no confidence in the bosses of the trust when they met on Friday.
It called on the chief inspector of hospitals at the CQC to "place the trust into special measures and write to the Secretary of State to make him aware of this action".
"We also call upon the individuals concerned to take the honourable course of action by resigning their posts and allowing the trust to rebuild," it said.
A CQC report published in March rated the trust "inadequate", with maternity, surgery and outpatients' services being the areas of greatest concern.
Following Friday's meeting, Mr Welling said the trust had an action plan to address issues and he was confident that with the "support of the board and staff, we will be able to make the improvements required".
The CQC said a new inspection was carried out in March and decision on special measures would be deferred until the full findings of its latest visit had been considered.

Answer: East Sussex NHS trust should be put in special measures after it was rated "inadequate" by inspectors, say councillors.


Question: Michael McCabe, 37, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to racially aggravated criminal damage and two other counts of criminal damage.
Mobile phone footage shared on social media showed him damaging cars near St Margaret's Way in Leicester, during the afternoon rush hour on 4 August.
McCabe was also convicted of two assaults at Glenfield Hospital.
Leicester Magistrates' Court heard that McCabe started shouting racial abuse at a couple in one of the vehicles and as the driver tried to drive away slowly, he punched the windscreen and damaged the wipers.
The couple said the language he used "scared" them.
McCabe jumped on to two other cars, hitting their windscreens, before police arrived.
The court heard he kicked out at officers and there was a scuffle on the floor before he was taken into custody.
Magistrate Paul Forrester-Brown was told McCabe quickly admitted causing criminal damage and said he could not remember much of what happened as he had drunk one and a half litres of vodka and beer.
The nine week sentence was given for what were described by Mr Forrester-Brown as "unprovoked assaults".
McCabe, who appeared via video link from Lincoln Prison, was also found guilty of punching a patient and a nurse at the Bradgate Mental Health Unit at Glenfield Hospital on 13 August.
