This project aims to analyse the illegal parrot trade by utilising conservation genomic approaches. The project will reveal wildlife trade routes in South-east Asia by developing cutting-edge forensic genomic techniques and criminological methods. Expected outcomes of this project include new field-deployable sequencing technology to provide in-situ genetic information for identifying the taxonomy and provenance of confiscated specimens, and a first ever genetic database of traded wildlife. The project will facilitate important countermeasures to the illegal wildlife trade including confiscation, reintroduction, improved law enforcement, and education for better biodiversity outcomes in our region.

该项目旨在利用保护基因组方法分析非法鹦鹉贸易。该项目将通过开发尖端法医基因组技术和犯罪学方法，揭示东南亚的野生动物贸易路线。该项目的预期成果包括新的可在实地部署的测序技术，以提供用于确定没收标本的分类和来源的原位遗传信息，以及第一个贸易野生动物遗传数据库。该项目将促进对非法野生动物贸易的重要对策，包括没收，重新引入，改善执法和教育，以改善我们地区的生物多样性成果。
