What is my research topic? What are some research keywords?

•  My research topic is Poaching.

What does Poaching mean? What is the definition for Poaching?

• Poaching is the name given to the illegal killing of animals from game reserves.
• Or illegally killing them for their fur or shells.
• Or just to kill them for fun.
• Or for the tusks of an elephant.
• Or to kill the animals for their goods like for the tusks of an elephant.

Why is poaching important in Africa?

•  Poaching is important in Africa because they maybe sometimes eat them .
•  And use them for clothing or jewelry .
•  And just use them to survive in another kind of way.
• But not all people in  Africa use the animals like this.
• Some just kill the animals for fun.

Why is poaching a problem or current issue in Africa?

•  Because poaching in Africa is making many more species of animals an endangered species.
• And more people want to buy the illegal goods like jewelry.
• Because some people might think that it looks good on them.
• Without even knowing or not caring that it is an illegal product.

How Does Poaching Effect People In Africa?

• It effects them very much.
•  Because they need the animals to survive.
•  So they could eat and make clothing for themselves.
• And to make jewelry for themselves if they wanted.
• Not all people in Africa do this for a living.

What Does The Rest Of the World (not Africans) Think About poaching? What is the Global reaction to poaching?

•  The Global  Reaction to poaching is bad.
•  The United Nations and some African Governments have built  some Wildlife Sanctuaries for the endangered species of Africa.
• They have built many wildlife sanctuaries across the continent.
• These Wildlife Sanctuaries cost millions of Dollars.
• Not all countries in  Africa have Wildlife Sanctuaries.

What can be done to help the problem of Poaching? What is being done to correct poaching?

• The Morris Animal Foundation is a non-profit organization.
• The Morris Animal Foundation helps animals in Africa and in other parts of the world.
• The Foundation funds humane health studies.
• And to advance animal medicine.
• To save more animal lives.

What is my personal opinion to poaching? How do I react to poaching?

• I do not like poaching.
• Because it is mean to the innocent animals.
• And because it is making more species of animals endangered.
• It is making animal population decrease.
• And later there maybe just be barely anymore animals in Africa.
