Abstract:
Organised by the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory (VGL) to take place from 18 to 24 June, the collaborative action planning workshop will host representatives of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network (TRAFFIC) and the Wildlife Forensics Network (TRACE).
With rhino poaching and universal wildlife crime increasingly prevalent on a global scale, one of the aims of the workshop would be to promote enhanced collaboration and cooperation between laboratories that provide forensic DNA testing of rhinoceros, and support wildlife crime investigation in their respective countries and regions.
