Guidelines on Methods and Procedures for Ivory Sampling and Laboratory ProceduresThe Guidelines are developed as a guide for the use of forensic methods and best practices for the investigation of ivory seizures. They are intended for worldwide use, with the aim of facilitating the use of forensic science to the fullest extent possible in order to combat wildlife crime, and in particular to combat the trade in illegal ivory. They provide guidance on procedures and methodologies for ivory sampling and analysis by different laboratories with appropriate facilities, and cover the whole chain of custody, from the crime scene to the courtroom. The target audience ranges from first responders to the scene of the crime, crime scene investigators, law enforcement officials, forensic scientists, prosecutors and the judiciary. The Guidelines also make reference to standard regulations and operational procedures to support forensic investigations and design specific law enforcement measures, and consider mechanisms for international cooperation and capacity-building.
