Scientist's research on the DNA of trees bad news for
thieves Thieves can make thousands of dollars by illegally
cutting down trees and stealing them, and until recently, the RCMP
and forestry officials have had a difficult time catching the
suspects or even having enough evidence to convict known suspects.
Thanks to Eleanor White, a federal government biologist, and her
ground-breaking research in molecular biology, samples of tree DNA
can now be used to track down stolen lumber and prove what tree it
came from.
