Not all hunting is illegal, but there are many laws and legal restrictions that help protect wildlife. Illegal hunting can include hunting outside of an open season, using traps or weapons that cause unnecessary suffering, or hunting without a special licence.

It's not just an offence to hunt illegally. You are also breaking the law if you:

• assist in an illegal hunt, such as allowing hunters to use your land or providing them with dogs

• watch or attend an illegal hunt

Knowing when hunting is illegal can be challenging. Different animals and birds have different laws to protect them. If you're planning to go hunting, it's important you know what you can and can't do.

Not all hunting is a crime, but there are many different laws to protect the different species of animals and birds. These laws cover things like:

• where you can hunt

• when you can hunt

• if you can use dogs or not

• the types of weapons and traps that can be used

Many animals are also protected by law, meaning it’s illegal to hunt them at any time unless you have special exemptions.

After a meeting with our course leader we decided to use archival footage and other information and create a video from that footage.

Kieran decided to write an amazing poem about the detrimental affects of poaching and how bad animals are treated and decided to use that as voice over for the documentary.

There are two distinct species of elephants in Africa: the savannah and the forest elephant. Both species are critically endangered! The elephant population in Africa is currently estimated to be around 400,000, a decline of over 100,000 in just the past decade - and poaching continues to threaten those numbers
