<speciesfyi-glossary slug="poaching"></speciesfyi-glossary>Definition
The illegal hunting, capturing, or killing of wildlife, often driven by trade in animal parts or exotic pets.
Detailed Explanation
Poaching decimates populations even when habitat is intact — it has pushed rhinos, elephants, tigers, and pangolins toward extinction. Wildlife trafficking is estimated to generate $23 billion annually, making it the fourth most lucrative transnational crime. Anti-poaching measures range from ranger patrols and camera traps to demand-reduction campaigns in consumer countries. Corruption and poverty drive local participation; addressing root causes is essential.
