Poaching of elephants and rhinos occurs for their tusks and horns, which are used for ivory and traditional medicine. Poachers often use weapons and sell the animal parts for drugs, weapons, or quick money. Captured poachers may be fined or dealt with by the military. Poaching happens in areas like East Africa, India, and South America and threatens animal populations. Groups like WWF, IFAW, and others work to stop poaching through rangers, petitions, awareness, and funds to protect threatened wildlife.
