Abstract

The field of wildlife forensic science is essential to both law enforcement and wildlife conservation. The definition of wildlife forensic science, its range, and its importance in preventing wildlife crimes are covered in the first sections of this paper. The fundamental methods of animal forensics, including as chemical profiling, DNA analysis, isotope analysis, and forensic entomology, are studied in detail. These methods are essential for identifying species from biological samples and analyzing illegal wildlife trade and poaching. There is also discussion of the various difficulties faced by wildlife forensic scientists. The restrictions imposed by resources and technology are examined, along with issues pertaining to sample collection, preservation, legal and ethical considerations, and more. In spite of these obstacles, forensic investigations are now much more accurate and efficient because to technological breakthroughs; this analysis examines these developments and their possibilities going forward. Another important area of focus is how legislation and politics affect wildlife forensic science. The paper addresses the ways in which laws protecting wildlife have been impacted by forensic science and emphasizes the value of interdisciplinary cooperation between scientists, law enforcement, and environmentalists. The analysis concludes by highlighting the wider significance of wildlife forensic science for the preservation of ecosystems and biodiversity. It highlights current study topics and forecasts future trends, urging more funding and public awareness to strengthen the field's influence on international conservation initiatives.
