There are only 2,000 of the bears remaining, and they're threatened by hunters, poachers and habitat destruction. |
It has been estimated that in the 1960's, poachers were responsible for approximately 20,000 lion deaths per year in Serengeti National Park. |
Here on this former hunting preserve, Galvez and her colleagues are carefully monitoring nests and patrolling against poachers. |
They caught five poachers, equipped with modern rappelling gear, in possession of six bags of bird nests. |
However, failure to catch any poachers has led police to believe that an organised gang is behind the apparent drop in wild deer numbers. |
The giant panda has become highly endangered, threatened by illegal logging and poachers in its Chinese habitat. |
