Killing pretty species is big business.


It has been going on a long time , but what would it take to slow it down?

Forget the enviroment if you look at these actions people are being displaced and are living in extreme poverty. Meaning the benefits even worth it .

  I might be a poacher if I were too hungry to live otherwise, I can sympathize.


     What is going to happen to those hungry poachers when the fish , the elephants , the tigers are totally gone?  The poaching is sharing the problem without getting any solution.

    I like the solutions that use tourism to reward the local people for maintaining pristine environments and rare wildlife.  This has succeeded some places and failed some others.
