[Advertisement] The Wildlife Detectives: How Forensic Scientists Fight Crimes Against Nature
Summary: Describes how the wildlife detectives at the National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory in Ashland, Oregon, analyze clues to catch and convict people responsible for crimes against animals. Excerpt/First Sentence(s): It was the last straw. Eleven thousand pounds of meat from illegally killed green sea turtles were sitting at a New York airport, and Terry Grosz could do nothing about it. Publisher Description: Slaughtering elephants for their ivory; shooting bears for their gall bladders; capturing sea turtles for soup. In the name of vanity, fashion, and greed, man stalks and kills wild animals - and gets away with it, even when it is clearly against the law. But now scientists have a way to catch and convict poachers. In a laboratory in Ashland, Oregon, they analyze clues to link suspects to crimes. In words and pictures, this book tells a poignant story and reveals how science can indeed save the day.
