Hello my name is Antoine. I am very passionate about animals.

Why did I select my inquiry?

I chose this topic because poaching is currently a global issue, especially nowadays since many species are in danger of extinction due to Global warming.

Poaching is accelerating the process of extinction of these species.

Main findings, facts, and insights

Poachers don’t always kill the animals, normally they take what they want from the animals and just leave them there and let them suffer.
Poachers can kill a rhino just to sell the horn on the black market and then leave the rest of the body lying there.
The powder of the horn of the rhino is sold at the price of 50 000 dollars per kg. It is more expensive than gold and cocaine! A lot of rhinos have been killed and now they are endangered.
People think it has medical benefits and can cure everything, even cancers. But it is false. The horn is the same material as your nails and hair.
Pangolins are endangered because of illegal trade too. In Asia, the scales are used in a variety of traditional remedies.
The tusks of the elephants are searched by poachers because ivory goes at a high price in the black market. Every year, around 30 000 elephants are killed just because of poaching.
Animals are bred in the cages specifically for hunting.
Canned hunting is the killing of an animal in an enclosure to obtain a trophy.

I used primary resources I interviewed Ms.Julia. Ms.Julia is a friend of my mom. Ms.Julia is working for the animals welfare India

I used secondary resources like websites, books, youtube etc

Here are some of the resources I created to help spread awareness about my inquiry Google slides link: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Cghpa0M-tfC3yUrohQGQodRg0i9PxXc9HCRF1ne3Nh8/edit#slide=id.g826f6270fe_0_0

My personal action will be not to eat any meat and not buy illegal animal products too.

I ask you to take action by spreading awareness: Don’t buy any illegal animals to keep as pets. Don’t poach. Don’t buy accessories made of animal skins.
