Well done. I like the message very much. It is sad what our rare animals go through just for their body parts.The picture you used is very appropriate. Good job!

    My husband and I are working on antipoaching now in Tanzania where we live. Using drones and training the rangers will give them a better chance at catching the poachers who seem to have free rein these days. Some government people are involved with this, so it is tricky. We must educate like they did with shark fin soup, and the demand for ivory will hopefully subside. Cheers, j. ps google elephant whisperer just to see how clever the elephants are.

I think this poem will appeal to a wide audience because of your use of everyday language.
You explain the dilemma clearly. Even children should understand how these animals are endangered.
Hopefully, your call to action will not be ignored.

    My husband and I are working on an antioaching project here in Tanzania where we live. Drones and GPS are needed to match the techno;ogy of the poachers. Government and park officials are also involved so it is tricky. In 5 years the herd has been halved in another five years the rest could be gone if we do not stop this. Cheers, j

    I wish you well. Hopefully a means can be found to stop these poachers and save what is left of the herd.

    My husband and I are working on an antipoaching project here in Tanzania using drones and GPS. The elephants are so clever and intuitive, and poachers destroy these very social families merely for teeth, Shame on us, google elephant whisperer to see just how clever these animals are, cheers, thanks for the review, j
