An international open access journal dedicated to the application of the forensic sciences to animal and environmental crimes.

Forensic Science International: Animals and Environments is a gold open access journal, which publishes articles and informed commentary on matters at the intersection of forensic sciences, forensic studies, and animals and environments, encompassing a range of issues, trends, methods, and investigations. The journal welcomes consideration of specific animal and environmental crimes, including but not limited to animal maltreatment, deforestation, illegal logging, illegal fishing, wildlife trafficking, and pollution (including issues of climate change and carbon emissions).

The journal is informed by values of social justice and social inclusion. This is reflected in its acknowledgement of the history and development of forensic disciplines in accordance with different national contexts; geographical and national differences in trends, issues and priorities; and how cultural diversity shapes and influences the doing of forensic investigation in particular social contexts.

Forensic Science International: Animals and Environments adheres to strict ethical publication guidelines and actively supports a culture of inclusive and representative publication. For any submission enquiries, please contact the Editor-in-Chief.
