Botswana is home to the world's largest elephant population, with estimates suggesting around 130,000 elephants reside in the country.

Originally, it was just elephant hunting. It started thousands of years ago, because people valued ivory, which is the material that an elephant's tusks are made of. People also hunted rhinos for the same reason. Just during the last century, it got so bad that elephant and rhino populations had to be protected. However, some people still wanted ivory, and so there were others who were willing to illegal hunt for it to gain profits. This is poaching, and that is how it started.
