Despite travel bans and other COVID-19 restrictions, the small team at Viet Nam's wildlife forensic lab has been bolstering police efforts to crack down on illegal trafficking, with support from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
The limited research lab worked on almost 250 criminal cases last year, representing hundreds of individual samples from high-profile cases related to rhino horns, pangolin scales, elephant ivory, big cats, fish, bear parts, turtles and lion bones.
Last year, @UNODC_WLFC supported a wildlife forensics laboratory that identified bones of white & black Rhinoceros of a seized illegal shipment.
