Uganda forensic lab turns ivory seizures into convictions
Original: Uganda’s UN-supported wildlife forensics lab turns ivory seizures into convictions
Uganda is operating a wildlife forensics laboratory supported by the United Nations that uses scientific analysis of seized ivory to build prosecutable cases against traffickers. By linking tusks to poaching sites and smuggling networks through DNA and other forensic techniques, the lab has helped turn ivory seizures into successful criminal convictions, strengthening East Africa's fight against elephant poaching and illegal wildlife trade.
Why now: The United Nations is highlighting the lab's success in combating wildlife trafficking, drawing attention to forensic science as a conservation tool.
