Good article in National Geographic that will probably help her out. It focuses on poaching in the African bush where there is seemingly no regulation in place to stop it. Entire species are threatened.

Here's the photo gallery. Even more interesting than the pictures...read the captions. A stark commentary on the state of the illegal wildlife trade.

Look at the size of the hands/feet of this gorilla.

the frightening thing is that it seems like people poach just for the hell of it, aka no reason at all.

I think most people around here poach cause they have tiny…um, thingies. And poaching makes them feel more manly.

I think the whole poach to feed your family is the biggest load of crap EVER! [:@][:'(][:@][:'(]

Some poach to bolster their supposed reputations as consistent big buck killers,I know a poacher who drives hundreds of miles every year at night to find and kill big bucks.The guy has been turned in by taxidermists has shot mechanical deer,has been caught baiting and still has a valid license.His offenses are blatant and they still can't stop him.
