Скачать или смотреть Forensic Applications in Biodiversity Research EUDR case studies and beyond

With climate change and global biodiversity decline, lawmakers have been implementing legislation to curtail the negative impact of human actors on further decline. A few noteworthy pieces of legislation are the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and the updated European Environmental Crime Directive (ECD) in 2024. To serve enforcement of these new legislation frameworks, forensic scientific services will be required (e.g. scientific methods used to investigate and analyze evidence). This session aims to explore the broader applications of forensic methods in biodiversity monitoring, with a focus on EUDR and ECD, but also inviting abstracts with a broader international context. We are particularly seeking contributions on uncertainty and bias characterizations of biodiversity studies. By highlighting diverse forensic techniques, this session will also encourage submissions on other topics including ecocide cases, integrating open data, and community participation in capacity building. The organizers, dr. ir. Christophe Van Neste and dr Pierre Bonnet, will facilitate a dynamic discussion on how forensic science contributes to policy-making and the documentation of biodiversity and deforestation. Join us to delve into the interdisciplinary approaches that drive forward our understanding of the natural world and foster a collaborative environment for knowledge exchange.
