Poaching is, by definition, the illegal harvesting of plants, animals and other organisms. Therefore poaching is illegal everywhere. However, hunting and gathering are not illegal everywhere. In some places you can hunt or gather if you have a permit, or during hunting and gathering seasons. Some places don't have any laws against hunting and gathering. Some individual species are protected by national and international laws and agreements, such as CITES, while some governments encourage and reward the hunting and gathering of specific species.

∙ 12y agoThis answer is rooted in the formation of societies, with rulers, rather than in legal terms. Poaching began when the first ruler, stated that all species in a given geograpical area "belong" to him, as ruler. Hence we find documents going back nearly 3000 years in the lands of Babylon and Chaldea proper that forbade individuals from taking "the king's game". One can reference "the kings of Babylon" to find such, among other sources.
