Topic: Environmental Wellness - Animal Poaching

Poaching is the illegal hunting, killing or capturing of animals, a practice that occurs in a variety of ways.

Poaching can refer to the failure to comply with regulations for legal harvest, resulting in the illegal taking of wildlife that would otherwise be allowable.

Examples include: Taking without a license or permit, use of a prohibited weapon or trap, taking outside of the designated time of day or year, and taking of a prohibited sex or life stage. 

Poaching can also refer to the taking of animals from a gazzetted wildlife sanctuary, such as a national park, game reserve, or zoo.

Most countries enforce various sanctions on the hunting of wild animals, and international controls, such as bans, restrictions and monitored trade, are all aimed at controlling poaching.

However, it is important to note that hunting, under specific regulations, is in fact often permitted in designated game preserves.
