antipoaching
Against illegal hunting
Antipoaching describes efforts to prevent the illegal hunting or capture of protected wildlife.
Antipoaching units patrol nature reserves, antipoaching laws impose penalties on violators, and antipoaching technology like drones tracks animal movements: The park hired additional antipoaching rangers after a surge in elephant killings.
