Mi Causa: Noah by https://padlet.com/marzoossa/causanoah Brainstorm ideas en-us 2021-03-11 20:51:06 UTC 2021-03-24 23:41:09 UTC hello@padlet.com ngarcia293 https://padlet.com/marzoossa/causanoah/wish/1327705930 "Animal poaching" is when an animal is killed illegally. It usually occurs when an animal possesses something that is considered valuable.Many countries believe that the rhino horn is an important ingredient for many medicines. This is false. Rhino horn has the same medicinal effect as chewing on your fingernails aka none. In 2012, 668 rhinos were poached in South Africa. As of January 2013 it increased to 946, these animals were being poached at a rate of 2 per day. Send them a note to thank them for their work. At the beginning of the 20th century there were a few million African elephants and approximately 100,000 Asian elephants. Today elephants are now considered endangered, there are about 450,000-700,000 African elephants and 35,000-40,000 Asian elephants. Typically the largest adults, with the biggest tusks are poached – putting the matriarchs of elephant herds at the greatest risk. In 2011, there were 13 large-scale seizures of ivory and over 23 tons of ivory confiscated. This is equivalent to at least 2,500 elephants. Vietnam, China, Thailand, and Korea are just a few countries with markets for horn and tusk. Bear gall bladders get top dollar for Chinese herbal remedies. And big-horned sheep antlers can fetch $20,000 on the black market. Tigers are primarily killed to supply underground black markets with its organs, pelts, and bones. These items are highly regarded in eastern medicine . In Asia, tiger parts are used in mythological medicine. This includes: the eyes, hair, internal organs, even tiger penis – which is used in a soup as an aphrodisiac.A 2010 United Nations report suggests that gorillas could disappear from large parts of the Congo Basin by the mid-2020s.

Elephants, tigers, and rhinos are among the most critically endangered species that have been targeted by powerful animal poaching rings across the world.
In 2013 alone, over 790 rhinos were poached in South Africa, nearly 62 percent of African elephants were killed in the past 12 years, and the diminishing Asian Tiger population is hovering in the balance.

According to the WWF, illegal wildlife trade is “the fifth most profitable illicit trade in the world, estimated at up to $10 billion annually,” ranking behind drug and weapons trafficking.
Chances are you feel pretty helpless against those statistics. It’s easy to sympathize with these animals, but it can feel like these crimes are a world away from your own life. If you don’t live in Africa or Asia, they may as well be. But that does not mean you don’t have the power to help stop these horrible crimes!
