General Studies · Statement and Course of Action

Statement: A national park is facing a significant increase in illegal poaching of its wildlife. The primary reason is the high market value of certain animal parts and a lack of effective patrolling by park authorities. This poaching is threatening several endangered species and damaging the park's reputation as a conservation area. Experts recommend that to stop poaching, a combination of stricter enforcement and community engagement is required. Courses of Action: A. The government should increase the number of park rangers and equip them with modern technology like drones for better surveillance. B. The government should impose harsher penalties and longer prison sentences for convicted poachers. C. The government should launch educational programs in nearby communities about the importance of wildlife conservation and offer them economic alternatives to poaching. D. The government should capture all the wildlife and move them to a different, more secure location.
