Wildlife
What are we doing to protect wildlife? A few laws? What do the laws state and what is the punishment for violating them? What about poachers...how are they being stopped? Does law enforcement do anything to protect the environment and prevent the poachers or is something done when it is too late.
Poachers: people who take/kill plants or animals from the environment without permission (illegally). Predominately in Africa.
Paper can be written on what wildlife is and why it's important to us. How poachers not only affect the wildlife population, but us as well. What we are doing to stop it, what we should do to stop it. Do we need a more severe punishment, inform more people, and/or increase law enforcement (if we have any at all)?
Poachers ---> endangered species ---> extinct species ---> less biodiversity. Can also effect other species. If one species goes extinct, another species might become invasive because there are no natural predators left or other species might dwindle and become extinct as well because their main food source has been removed.
Thesis (summary): What are we doing to stop poachers from destroying valuable wildlife?
I think this topic has some potential. Your "thesis" that you arrive at in the end though is more a question than a thesis. I think that if you look into poaching's effect on wildlife it may help you narrow your thesis. is it true that poaching is the main contributor to extinction? I like the chain of thinking you have with "-->". This is the kind of chain effect you may want to explore. Your mention of "Africa" may provide you with a concrete location you can focus your research--you may even want to narrow it down to a particular country in Africa.
