Wild animals are being poached on a massive scale, with millions of individual animals of thousands of species worldwide killed or captured from their native habitats. Poaching poses a growing threat to elephants, rhinos, and other charismatic animals, as well as to smaller and more obscure creatures, like certain lizards and monkeys. 📸@artfamcdk #endpoaching🚫 #poachingawareness (at Ol Pejeta Conservancy) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce_aDY4qxlS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Many wild animals are the main pillar (Keystone species) of the ecosystem, if they are absent from between the ecosystem could collapse, so will the earth as it would be very difficult for humans to survive otherwise. The main ecosystems affected by poaching include marine, freshwater, grassland, forest, desert, and cropland ecosystems.  Now you may wonder that some of these are not habitat to species poached nowadays, but the environmental footprint of these poachers goes a long way since there’s no rock they leave unturned to find the animals they need! 📸@artfamcdk #endpoaching #poachingawareness (at Ol Pejeta Conservancy) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce5VW2hq0r6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
