Introduction

Illegal logging and the trade of timber products have become significant environmental issues in recent years. The demand for timber products continues to increase, leading to unsustainable harvesting practices and the depletion of natural forests. In order to combat this issue, forensic botany has emerged as a valuable tool in detecting the presence of illegally traded timber. This thesis aims to explore the potential of forensic botany in addressing the problem of illegal timber trade, with a specific focus on identifying the species and origin of timber products.

Thesis Overview:

The illegal trade of timber poses a significant threat to global forests and biodiversity. In response to this issue, forensic botany has emerged as a valuable tool in detecting the presence of illegally traded timber. This thesis aims to explore the potential of forensic botany in addressing the problem of illegal timber trade, with a specific focus on identifying the species and origin of timber products.

The literature review provides an overview of illegal timber trade, the role of forensic botany in timber detection, botanical techniques in timber analysis, case studies, challenges in timber analysis, and international regulations. The research methodology outlines the study design, sampling methods, data collection techniques, botanical analysis, DNA barcoding, statistical analysis, and quality control measures.

The discussion of findings focuses on the identification of timber species, determination of timber origin, comparison of botanical techniques, validity and reliability of DNA barcoding, implications for law enforcement, and the potential for combating illegal timber trade. The conclusion summarizes the findings, discusses implications for forensic botany, provides recommendations for future research, and concludes the thesis.
