4.  The tourism in Africa is majorly affected
by poaching
 Poaching kills the animals making it less
likely to see one on a safari.
 They also scare away the tourists
themselves because the tourists don’t
want to be held up by poachers.
 The governments of Africa need the
tourism for the money it generates.

5.  Extinction is more important then tourism
because:
› If there are no more animals no more tourism
› It will cause an ecosystem collapse
 Most Africans rely on these animals for
money.
 Without money, many Africans will
starve.

6.  You should feel sorry for the animals and
the Africans
› The animals are directly affected by the
poaching because they are getting killed
› The Africans are indirectly affected because
they rely on these animals for a income so
they can live
› It is a source of money for the governments
so they need it to function and fund things
