☆ Wildlife forensics: how recreating animal crime scenes could help catch poachers
  + stars: | 2024-07-11 | by ( Nell Lewis | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
Across the world, wildlife crimes – including animal trafficking and poaching – are on the rise and are a major threat to the planet’s biodiversity. Often, he says, wildlife crimes happen in remote areas without witnesses and first responders can accidentally disrupt the scene and contaminate evidence. Once the crime scene has been investigated, the students are taught how to chemically analyze the evidence at an on-site laboratory. “We have so many poachers that have walked free in court because rangers didn’t collect enough evidence. In the first quarter of this year, IFAW reported 32 wildlife crime cases being presented in court and 24 people accused of wildlife crimes awaiting prosecution.

WARSAW, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Four lion cubs and a black leopard cub from war-torn Ukraine have found safety in a Polish zoo, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) said, after surviving drone attacks and bombing in the first few months of their lives. The cubs were transferred to animal rescue organisations in Kyiv and Odessa after a crackdown on the exotic pet trade in Ukraine, and are now in Poznan zoo in western Poland awaiting onward travel. IFAW said it had partnered with a sanctuary in the United States and one in Europe to care for the cubs, who were bred in captivity and cannot be released into the wild. The Wildcat Sanctuary (TWS) in the United States will take care of the lion cubs.

While hunting blue whales is prohibited, the species continues to be threatened, primarily due to declines in its primary food source, krill.
