The illegal trade of poaching animals is a global issue that is currently being fought by many.
Poaching is the illegal hunting and killing of animals, which has been on the rise in recent years. The demand for animal products such as ivory, rhino horn, and shark fins has led to a large increase in poaching across the world. While it’s impossible to know exactly how many animals are poached each year, estimates put the number at up to 100 million.
While it’s difficult to put an exact number on how many animals are poached each year, estimates suggest that between 20,000 and 30,000 elephants are killed every year for their ivory tusks. In addition to this, around 100 sharks are killed every hour. This high demand for animal products is what leads to such large numbers of poaching worldwide.
