Poaching in Africa

The greatest cause of social instability and environmental damage to Central African countries is the rapid increase of the poaching industry and the black market industry. Every year, poachers kill thousands of exotic animals such as elephants and rhinos and meet international demand for animal products. Today's illegal poaching market has an impact on the lives of millions of humans and animals, although we are currently prohibited from bringing merchandise from simmered in the world. Poaching in Central Africa may be mitigated by increasing the use of stricter international law, expanding services through educational services, and increasing funding for African National Park managers.

The first explanation is that poaching is caused by organized crime. Born Free's recently widely published report "Curse of Ivory: Militarization and Specialization of African Poaching" details a malicious network that links criminal cartels to government officials, officers, and businessmen . In this case, poachers are victims of poverty, but they are also actual killers of elephants and rhinos. Therefore, most governments must invest in anti-poaching activities. But in the long run, the only sustainable solution is to reduce the poverty that leads to poaching.

South Africa has poaching problems. This problem is not new, but the poaching in 2013 is certainly increasing. As of May 2013, in South Africa, 273 rhinos were poached in 2013, of which 201 were killed in the Kruger National Park. (7) Actually, it does not indicate that South Africa's poaching has doubled every year over the past 5 years. (9) At this rate, South Africa is predicted to deduct more than 800 pies from poachers in 2013. (10) It is far beyond the estimated 668 rhodes dug out in 2012. (11) Situation is very bad Members of the Democratic Union (12) Anthony Bernardi believes that Py poaching should be declared a national disaster. (13) As a result, South Africa will be able to allocate disaster prevention funds to prevent poaching. (14)

The history of poaching in South Africa symbolizes that this problem could accelerate markedly in just a few years. The proportion of elephant poaching remains almost the same since 1980, but the dramatic increase in poaching poaching has surprisingly proved that poachers are focusing on the sale of abroad to rhinoceros. According to experts, the horn of rhinoceros is the largest center of export of Asian medicine, rhinoceroses and horns, and in other areas it is commonly used from $ 15,000 to $ 30,000 per pound.

About 2,000 elephants and about 6,300 rhinoceros were slaughtered by poachers in South Africa and Kenya.
