Laker Wildlife Initiative Programs and Activities
Service

The Laker Wildlife Initiative is committed to serving our community by advancing the use of forensic science in the fight against wildlife crime. We provide vital resources that benefit not only law enforcement and legal professionals, but also educators, policymakers, and the public.

Our commitment to community:

  • Promote Best Practices: We help standardize forensic protocols for wildlife crime scene investigation, evidence handling, and laboratory analysis, ensuring that all community stakeholders have access to reliable guidance.
  • Support Law Enforcement: By offering clear, practical recommendations and educational materials, we empower officers and investigators to respond effectively to wildlife crime scenes, improving the quality of evidence collection and case outcomes.
  • Enhance Public Awareness: Through outreach programs, educational initiatives, and public forums, we raise awareness about the impact of wildlife crime and the importance of forensic science in conservation, inspiring collective action to protect our natural heritage.
  • Foster Collaboration: We create opportunities for meaningful partnerships among scientists, enforcement agencies, legal professionals, community organizations, and educational institutions, strengthening the overall response to wildlife crime through knowledge sharing and coordinated efforts.

Through these multifaceted efforts, the Laker Wildlife Initiative ensures that our community is equipped with the knowledge, tools, and connections needed to safeguard wildlife and uphold the law.
