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

• My research topic is poaching in Africa:
• The research keywords that help me are poaching and Africa:

What does poaching mean? what is the definition or description of poaching.

• Poaching means to hunt illegally or against the law.
• It is illegal because you are not suppose to cut the ivory off elephants.
• It means you can not be a poacher because it is illegal.
• And it is a wrong way and hateful way of hunting.
• Poaching is and never was right to do.

Why is poaching important in Africa? It is not important in Africa?

• It is not important in Africa.
•  It is illegal because you will go to jail if you get caught.
• And it's not right. Cutting ivory off elephants.
•  And horns off rhinos is not right and is hateful.
• And it is not right to do that to any animal.

Why is poaching a problem or issue in Africa?

• Because it is illegal to cut ivory off elephants.
•  And there are decreasing very quickly.
• Soon there will be no more elephants for people to see. 
• Because more people want to see them.
• And they are very beautiful animals.

How does poaching affect the people in Africa?

• It affects them a lot.
•  Because more people want to see elephants.
• More people want to see them live for a longer time.
•  Because they are cool animals to look at.
• And they never did anything except live.

What does the rest of the world [not Africa] think about poaching. What is the global reaction to poaching

• I think it is very wrong for people to do that to animals.
• And I think other people think other people think it is wrong to.
• The police in Africa should try to stop poaching for good and forever.
•  Because those animals never did anything to us.
• And they never will do anything to us.

What can be done to help stop the problem of poaching. What is being done to current poachers.

• They can go looking for poachers.
•  And try to stop them so that they can be put into jail.
• But it still might not give poachers an idea to stop.
•  Even though they probley know that they can get into trouble.
• And people in Africa are trying to stop poaching.

What is my personal opinion of poaching? how do I react and feel about poaching

• I don't approve of poaching at all and it is wrong.
•  It is very wrong and hateful to do that to an animal.
• And an animal who hasn't even done any thing to you at all.
• And all poachers should be caught.
• And  be punished or thrown into jail for a very long time.
