Yaks are poached primarily for their valuable fur, meat, and horns, which are sought after in local and international markets. Their wool, known as "shahtoosh," is particularly prized for its warmth and softness, leading to illegal harvesting. Additionally, yaks are sometimes hunted for their hides and for traditional medicinal uses. The decline in natural habitats and increased demand for these products have exacerbated poaching issues.
