Topic Reading-Vol.808-6/28/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Poachers massacre elephants in Congo park
Where there are buyers, there always are people who want to sell such items whether they are legitimately grown or obtained or not. Unfortunately, the rarer the item is and the stronger the desire for the item is, the higher the value goes such as shark fin and ivory. They are just part of the giant shark and elephant but can’t be taken without taking the life of the creature.
Poachers are all over the world like drug sellers. Because of the market mechanism, they will never vanish. Instead, they could extinguish the endangered species.
What is the most effective way to stop poaching? Maybe disrupting the market by prohibiting consuming, using, buying and trading such “valuable item” may reduce the suppliers, or poachers. But unless such law is enforced very strictly, the value of the rare item could become even higher, which in turn increase the risk of stimulating more aggressive poaching.
Enjoy reading and learning what money could drive some people to do.
