Buffelsfontein, South Africa

A student in hazmat suit moves around a taxidermied giraffe at a ‘crime scene’ set up in the warehouse of the Wildlife Forensic Academy in a game and nature reserve. The crime scene was carefully set up by the academy, a training centre that aims to fight poaching by teaching investigation skills to rangers, conservation officers, law enforcement and students. By teaching how to protect a crime scene, find and collect evidence and later present a testimony in front of a court, they hope to strengthen prosecution of wildlife crime across Africa
