| Wildlife crimes should be investigated. But what evidence is collected, and what can it tell us? |
How do we solve wildlife crime? First it depends on
collecting the evidence. Wildlife forensics is a field that has, unfortunately,
had to grow due to a sharp increase in wildlife crime including poaching.
New Scientist and the University of NSW are hosting a
joint session on Wildlife Forensics at UNSW on August 17 in Sydney.
The speakers are Bryan Lessard – aka Bry the Fly Guy –
postdoctoral fellow at the Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO, and
Rebecca Johnson, director of the Australian Museum Research Institute and
co-chief investigator of the Koala Genome Consortium. For more info or tickets, click here.
