As poaching of valuable fragrant incense trees rises in Hong Kong, scientists are turning to genetics to fight back. Geneticist Zhang Huarong uses genetics to catalogue and take DNA samples from each plant for a database that can help authorities crack down on illegal harvesting -- as well as offer insights into how the plants can be better conserved.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has labelled Chinese Agarwood as 'vulnerable'
Geneticist Zhang Huarong walks through the forest near his Hong Kong research lab, gesturing towards a rotting incense tree stump that is one of over a dozen illegally felled for the valuable wood inside.
