For Rangers on the Front Lines of Anti-Poaching Wars, Daily Trauma

2. African Poaching is at its worst in the poorer, less stable countries

where people are desperate. Its really sickening to think of these beautiful animals being slaughtered into extinction.

I came across another article which was more hopeful:

A Local Economy Solution to Africa's Poaching Problem

A new report suggests that peace can be restored—but only if two things happen. First, African governments must get serious about tackling their poaching problem. Second, the ecotourism industry, which has historically benefited only a few, must be transformed so that its profits reach a larger segment of the population, winning allies for wildlife from among Africa’s villagers, who often clash with the animals. Those clashes have been increasing, and unless we can find a way to for humans and animals to live in peace, the prospects for Africa’s wildlife won’t be bright.
