Скачать или смотреть CSI: Wildlife | How ZSL Uses Forensic Science to Tackle Wildlife Crime

Can forensic science help stop wildlife crime? At ZSL’s Institute of Zoology, researchers are putting crime scene investigation tools to work on illegal wildlife trade.

Our wildlife biobank is one of the UK’s most unique biological archives — housing thousands of specimens collected over decades.

Follow PhD researcher Alex Thomas as she tests forensic light sources on these real wildlife items — from pangolin skin and tiger claws to mystery substances and mustelid paws — all stored in ZSL’s vast biobank. These methods could help identify hidden traces and distinguish real from fake materials, aiding law enforcement in wildlife crime investigations.
