User:Kcroes, your recent changes mention the walks two times but do not explain what is the special thing about them. Think we could refer more to ivory / elephant poaching but I didnt understand what you want to express. Polentarion Talk 21:02, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

@Bamyers99:: Thnx for the recovery. I did not intend it, think it was a network issue, but the article actually looked better. There is so much content now in that species section, it warrants a separate list. What do you think? Polentarion Talk 19:33, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Should there be a section dubbed "Poaching in Popular Culture"? as it isn't all that hard to find in any fiction, particularly with fictional animal characters that have been victims of poaching or were at least affected by it. Examples include Alex the lion from the Madagascar franchise, Kerchak the gorilla of Disney's Tarzan film, Leo the lion from Blinky Bill’s Extraordinary Balloon Adventure, Grizz and Ice Bear the bears of We Bare Bears (though they aren't completely confirmed, and it isn't yet known at all if Panda was also a poacher-victim too or not), and who knows what else, but I do recommend it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.186.6.124 (talk) 04:14, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Someone reading just the introduction would come away thinking "So this is just some sort of medieval crime against the nobility's land rights, what's all the fuss?", when in fact the vast majority of news articles etc. about poaching today are concerned with environmental protection, not whether anyone's land rights have been violated. This aspect is mentioned in the article itself, but should be stressed in the introduction as well. --2.205.48.9 (talk) 13:45, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
Preventive tusk removal by park rangers has not been mentioned in this page. This seems a useful technique to discourage poachers and maintain the species and still be able to still sell the natural material.
The question is: what is the best approach then ? Sell those removed tusks instead of destroying them ? Or destroy them (which results in increased prices of ivory on the black market) (see destruction of ivory) ? I seem to think the best approach is to have the wildlife parks sell it, under a CITES certification, to bring in revenue for the wildlife park and help pay park ranger wages (resulting in better protection of the wildlife park).
Perhaps this can be mentioned somehow in the article ? --Genetics4good (talk) 12:15, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
