Abstract

Wildlife forensics is the branch of forensic science which deals with the crime or legal cases that involve wildlife (flora and fauna). This field is basically integrated with various other fields of science (biology, chemistry, and anthropology) in the court of law and focuses on the conservation and protection of wildlife. It is a new field added to forensic science due to an increase in wildlife crimes to examine and investigate wildlife crimes by using various scientific measures.
