Gorongosa National Park’s Conservation Department is training park rangers in Biodiversity Crime Investigation using a crime scene management approach.
Building on previous training in investigative skills, rangers who participate in the training will gain skills to accurately collect evidence at crime scenes which includes identifying and marking the crime scene perimeter, conducting laboratory analysis, and preparing reports for legal action by the Prosecutor’s Office
Rangers will also learn how to compile evidence and news reports, essential tools for recording data. These reports will include all gathered evidence, such as photos, videos, and other key elements that aid in solving crimes.
The training covers crime scene safety protocols, necessary evidence collection materials, and proper uniforms. Rangers must follow these guidelines carefully to prevent contamination within the investigation perimeter.
