Abstract

The disclosure of environmental damage is a complex challenge, particularly in terms of finding adequate evidence to support investigations and law enforcement. Forensic evidence provides a systematic scientific approach to identifying, analysing, and interpreting evidence related to environmental damage. The aim of this study is to examine how forensic evidence can be utilised to uncover cases of environmental damage. This is a qualitative study with a conceptual approach. It was conducted by reviewing relevant research and scientific articles, followed by prescriptive analysis. The findings of this study indicate that forensic evidence in cases of environmental damage is used to identify, analyse, and disclose instances of environmental harm. The utilisation of forensic evidence in cases such as air, water, soil pollution, and deforestation is key in identifying the sources of pollution, enforcing laws, and formulating effective environmental protection policies. Through sophisticated laboratory analysis techniques, such as gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and chemical analysis, forensic evidence helps reveal the types and sources of pollutants in the environment. Forensic evidence also provides a strong foundation for law enforcement and policy-making in order to ensure effective environmental protection and sustain ecosystem viability and human well-being into the future.
