The Navy Military Police (Pomal) collaborate with the Faculty of Biology Universitas Gadjah Mada(UGM) to advance forensic DNA technology in efforts to enhance more effective law enforcement in cases of suspected illegal trade of confiscated items believed to originate from dugongs. Dugongs, often referred to as “sea cows,” are endangered sea mammals that live around Indonesia’s Marine territory. One of the primary threats to this species is the illegal trade of products derived from dugongs, including bones, ivory, and meat.


This collaboration aims to identify the sources of dugong products involved in illegal trade through more advanced forensic DNA analysis. Dr. Dwi Sendi Priyono, a faculty member at the Faculty of Biology UGM with expertise in forensic DNA analysis of wildlife, is working in collaboration with Pomal to implement forensic DNA analysis techniques. “Through forensic DNA analysis, we can determine the species and differentiate individual dugongs, confirming the origin of dugong products. This will assist investigators in tracking the trail of illegal trade and taking more decisive actions.” This collaborative effort is expected to enhance law enforcement and protection of dugongs, as well as support the conservation of this species. The sustainability of Indonesia’s marine ecosystem and the protection of rare wildlife are shared priorities embraced by Pomal and the Faculty of Biology UGM.
