This journal focuses on the application of scientific methods to address issues related to animals and their environments, particularly in forensic contexts. It covers the use of genetic techniques, such as DNA barcoding and genotyping, for species identification, population monitoring, and tracing the origin of wildlife products to combat illegal trade and poaching. The journal also explores chemical analysis methods for identifying animal-derived materials and assessing environmental impacts, as well as the development and validation of forensic protocols for wildlife casework.
