Question

What is poaching

Answer 1

Poaching has traditionally been defined as the illegal hunting or capturing of wild animals, usually associated with land use rights.
Since the 1980s, the term "poaching" has also referred to the illegal harvesting of wild plant species. In agricultural terms, the term 'poaching' is also applied to the loss of soils or grass by the damaging action of feet of livestock which can affect availability of productive land, water pollution through increased runoff and welfare issues for cattle.
