@serdiveal @USFWS @SWFS3 Good work Lance. We had a delegate from Viet Nam yesterday present a short talk about the wildlife forensic lab being established there. It's great to hear of the #capacitybuilding happening in these countries!

Three final very interesting and enlightening flash talks from #Tanzania #Zambia and #Malawi , great to see such #forensic #capacitybuilding happening in countries of #africa and #asia that are sources of the #IWT . Thanks to sponsors of the #SWFS2019 meeting!
