Poaching in AfricaBy Colleen L.

Definition of Poaching

Illegal hunting of endangered species

Economy The bad economy in Africa causes ivory trade, which

leads to poaching. Elephants and Rhinos are killed for their ivory tusks and

horns. Hippos are killed because their teeth are made of a similar

substance to ivory. Populations are

disappearing.

Social

People trophy hunt in Africa just for fun. Hunting blocks overhunt for more money. Lions are killed underage.

How to Help

Donate money to anti-poaching organizations like CITES and WWF
