In honor of World Wildlife Day, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will host a live behind-the-scenes look into our wildlife forensics lab, which is the first and only full-service wildlife forensics lab in the world. World Wildlife Day takes place on March 3rd and this year focuses on the staggering effects wildlife trafficking has on a number of animals across the globe. Please join us to learn about how we solve these mysteries and how you can get involved. It’s time to get #SeriousAboutWildlifeCrime.

View the recorded broadcast below.
