Understanding Why People Poach - Helps Approximate Solutions

"If I had only one hour to save the world, I would spend fifty-five minutes defining the problem, and only five minutes finding the solution." - Albert Einstein

Poachers tend to be extremely poor. They are paid to kill endangered animals so they can feed their family. They do not have access to other livelihoods. Conservationists must study these complexities and find alternatives of we truly expect the killing to stop.

So sad for the animals but also the poorest people who get sucked in and tempted because they are poor. The greed of a few will cause the end of many species. Very sad I think!
