The Solution to Poaching is in Creating Anti-Poaching Police - Alan Rabinowitz

Dr. Alan Rabinowitz was given the gift of stutter-free speech by big cats when he was a child; now, he wants to help them survive in the wild. The CEO of Panthera discusses the chance of ongoing survival for the world's big cats and he says that, of all of the world's top feline predators, tigers face the direst future. With just 3,000 of the wild cats remaining in fragmented parks, surrounded by some of the world's most peopled areas tigers are still hunted by poachers. Rabinowitz explains that as long as a dead tiger is worth more than the cost of the bullets it takes to shoot them, the cats will be poached. A safe future for tigers lies in ramping up law enforcement to deter and prosecute poachers.
