This November 2014 photo provided by the Wildlife Trust of India shows a leopard caught in a trap in a forest in Karnataka, India. Authorities in India are concerned a 2020 spike in poaching not only could kill more endangered tigers and leopards but also species these carnivores depend upon to survive.
Since the country announced its lockdown, at least four tigers and six leopards have been killed by poachers, Wildlife Protection Society of India said. But there also were numerous other poaching casualities — gazelles in grasslands, foot-long giant squirrels in forests, wild boars and birds such as peacocks and purple morhens.
The illegal trade in pangolins continued “unabated” within Africa but international trade has been disrupted by port closures, said Ray Jansen,“We have witnessed some trade via air while major ship routes are still closed but we expect a flood of trade once shipping avenues reopen again,” Jansen said.
Jansen also said bushmeat poaching was soaring, especially in parts of southern Africa. “Rural people are struggling to feed themselves and their families,” he said.A greater one-horned rhino was gunned down May 9 in India’s Kaziranga National Park -- the first case in over a year. Three people, suspected to be a part of an international poaching ring, were arrested on June 1 with automatic rifles and ammunition, said Uttam Saikia, a wildlife warden.
I love how y'all can see the effects of loss of consumptive tourism on conservation efforts and still try to have it banned. Clearly, regulated hunting isn't the problem, it's the answer.
We need well-regulated hunting programs back. They provide money for wildlife, and provide jobs for people who need them. The money is used for anti-poaching units to put a stop to poachers. Poorer people will be able to get jobs and provide for their families. It's a win-win.
Then LEGALIZE HUNTING POACHERS!!! I'm sure they TASTE JUST FINE!!!!
HarunMaruf Africa and India needs no saviors.

A locust swarm of humans. Peasants no longer serve life's mission. Science is the collective mission of all life and the future of intelligence is the purpose of existence. Temporal math: Science Biodiversity Transient entities [universal existential key]

Capitalism is destroying the world, it's not capable of giving people the basic, it's enabling the destruction of the earth, first for profits, now because of hunger.

I hate humans
I swear to god.
Horrible
We are destroying Mother Earth and her creatures. Our souls becoming darker each time we hurt her or take the life of an animal without a valid reason.
