Slaughtering elephants for their ivory; shooting bears for their gall
bladders; capturing sea turtles for soup. In the name of vanity,
fashion, and greed, man stalks and kills wild animals -- and gets away
with it, even when it is clearly against the law. But now scientists
have a way to catch and convict poachers. In a laboratory in Ashland,
Oregon, they analyze clues to link suspects to crimes. In words and
pictures, this book tells a poignant story and reveals how science can
indeed save the day.
