Are most poachers locals hired by others who are in need of money or are they the actual buyers out for a thrill chase?
If they are locals, would educating them about the depleting resource help?
(I ask because in Fiji local fishermen were being paid lots of money to illegally kill sharks for shark fin soup, and the Fiji government launched a PSA outlining how Fiji's tourism depends on having a vast variety of sharks and killing them for a few extra $$ is more harm than good)
