    beings are internationally at the expense of the importance of an animal. When discussing poaching, the poverty of various people is ignored, the beauty within the making of cultures is dismissed and the amount of people murdered in the name of conservation is not being exposed. Poaching has been demonized and portrayed endlessly as inhumane—but often, the inhumanity resides with the negative consequences on the native people affected by the establishment of national parks and the consequences for
