Discuss a wildlife case
  • Field sampling & evidence recovery

    Collecting and preserving samples so they stay intact and traceable from the moment they are found.

  • Species identification

    Identifying species from tissue, hair, feathers and wildlife products.

  • Acoustic & motion monitoring

    Sensor networks that detect activity in protected areas around the clock.

  • Remote sensing

    Satellite-linked and aerial data that extend investigations to remote terrain.

About Dikaris

Named for Dike, the goddess of justice.

Our name comes from Dike, the ancient Greek goddess of justice. Her stylised profile sits inside the geometric “D” of our mark: its linear structure stands for the precision, analysis and systematic methodology of forensic science, and the gold accent for the justice that work serves.
