“Role Of Wild Life Forensics In Control Of Illicit Wild Life Trade”
[/fusion_title][fusion_text]
Introduction: Wildlife forensics is the application of forensic science to the conservation and protection of non-domesticated animals, both in the wild and in captivity. Providing an in-depth introduction to this rapidly evolving field, Wildlife Forensic Investigation: Principles and Practice also chronicles aspects of the history of management, conservation, and environmental protection, with an emphasis on their global importance in the twenty-first century. This resource is essential for those involved in a range of endeavours, including investigating wildlife crime, identifying animal remains, ascertaining the circumstances of death of wild species, and other legal proceedings and activities concerning wildlife.
The forensic skills described in the lecture can be applied to a wide range of activities (not necessarily involving the legal process), including environmental impact assessments, insurance claims, governmental and other enquiries, checking of trading standards and the inspection of (for instance) pet-shops, animal boarding establishments, and zoological collections.

About the Lecture: During the lecture Dr. S.K. Gupta explore the crucial role of wildlife forensic investigation with regard to live animals, dead animals and samples and covers national, regional, and international legislation. While the text particularly focuses on forensic science as it relates to wild animals, it also includes mention of plants and habitats because of their relevance to conservation. He discusses animal welfare as well as the damage that can be inflicted on humans and property by wildlife.
Conclusion: Wildlife forensics is the application of science to legal cases involving wildlife. This field uses scientific procedures to investigate wildlife-related crimes involving the exotic pet trade, poaching, other illegal hunting activities, and even oil spills. A wildlife forensics specialist is a scientist who uses chemical techniques to investigate wildlife crimes. These scientists analyse animals, animal parts and products, and other evidence collected by wildlife inspectors and other officials.
