Forensic entomology is a powerful tool used to estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI) by analyzing the life cycle of insects found on decomposing remains. Specialists study flies, beetles, and their growth stages to provide courts with accurate scientific evidence.<br /><br />This approach not only aids justice by reducing wrongful convictions but also contributes to biological research and understanding the ecological roles of insects.<br /><br />Related SDGs:<br /><br />Goal 16: Promote peace, justice, and strong institutions through reliable evidence.<br /><br />Goal 15: Protect terrestrial ecosystems by studying insect biodiversity.<br /><br />Goal 4: Ensure quality education by training experts in forensic entomology.<br /><br />Al-Mustaqbal University – the first university in Iraq.<br /><br/><br/><a href=https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/ar/education/ target=_blank>Goal 4</a>
