POACHING IN SOUTH AFRICA BY MATTHEW KRAFT AND TONY NGUYEN

WHAT IS POACHING Poaching is illegally hunting or catching game or animals on land that is not owned by someone or in contravention of official protection.

WHY POACHING OCCURS Reasons for poaching of the rhinos and elephants are for their tusks for ivory. Ivory is used for many things and has some medicinal use in Asia

POACHING STATISTICS OF RHINOS The black rhinoceros is native to eastern and southern Africa and is considered one of the most endangered species in the world.

HOW DO THEY POACH? The way poachers attain the tusks on the rhinos and elephants are done usually by sawing off the tusks of the rhino or elephants. Although, sometimes if they are ruthless, they would decapitate the face of the rhino or elephant leaving their lifeless bodies in the deserted area. Sometimes travelers would come across a faceless rhino or elephant.

EFFECTS OF POACHING Poaching has an effect on everybody. Unfortunately poachers get money and riches for poaching which is a main reason for poaching but has a negative effect on everyone else. Rhinos and Elephants are quickly degrading in population numbers

SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM Attempts to arrest and criminalize poachers A type of poison is being put on the tusks of the rhinos or elephants which make them pink indicating they are poisonous so poachers cannot use the tusks.
