Wildlife poaching must be stopped

This article talks about the sudden increase in wildlife poaching in recent decades.  The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) brought up this problem at a United Nations meeting.  The researchers wanted the countries of the world to pay more attention on wildlife poaching because a lot of the countries were too lenient on poaching which caused an increase in poaching.  The WWF researchers interviewed various heads of governments and found that there is a lack of strong emotions and support for anti-poaching which caused wildlife poaching to be put off because there are bigger issues to deal with like wars and military conflicts.  If the countries do not realize that this is a high-priority issue, there will be a lot of consequences on the economy, environment, national security, and international security.
 I think this is a good article to use for my research paper because it shows that wildlife poaching is low-priority issue for the United Nations and it needs to taken more seriously to avoid even more problems.
