Forensic Chemistry of Poaching Evidence – Training Services

Forensic Chemistry of Poaching Evidence – Training Services provides specialized training on the chemical and analytical methods used to investigate poaching and illegal wildlife exploitation. The course covers the examination of biological materials, toxins, trace evidence, and animal-derived products such as ivory, fur, bones, and hides to establish illegal activity. Participants will learn advanced analytical techniques including chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and microscopy for accurate detection, identification, and quantification of evidence. Emphasis is placed on proper sample collection, contamination prevention, chain-of-custody maintenance, and preparing findings for legal and conservation enforcement proceedings. Case studies demonstrate real-world applications in combating poaching, linking suspects to crime scenes, and supporting wildlife protection initiatives.
