Poaching

Poaching refers to the illegal hunting or capturing of wild animals, often for their valuable parts, such as ivory, fur, or meat. This practice poses a severe threat to biodiversity, leading to the decline or extinction of various species. Poaching undermines conservation efforts and disrupts ecosystems. It is often driven by demand in illegal markets, poverty, and lack of law enforcement. To combat poaching, many countries and organizations work to strengthen laws, protect habitats, and raise awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation.
