Anti-poaching is the organised act to counter the poaching of wildlife.[1] However, it is generally used to describe an overall effort against the illegal wildlife trade.[2][3] The act of anti-poaching is normally carried out by national parks on public land and by private security companies on privately owned land. Anti-poaching takes many forms and which depends mainly upon the habitat being protected. Typically, it is the act of actively patrolling land in an effort to prevent poachers from reaching the animals.
