Illegal Poaching

"While there are variety of ways that humans can harm ecosystems around the world, poaching in particular threatens a number of species — even those that may be protected in national parks or wildlife reservations. Today, poaching is usually done for profit, with the animal parts sold to black and illegal markets. The result is that many animals have been attacked and their numbers are critically depleted." https://www.iapf.org/

Lucienne “chose to represent illegal poaching through animation because as someone passionate about this topic, I wanted to make it as personal and impactful as possible. Spreading awareness about illegal poaching is important to me because a lot of people don’t know the extent of it and the full effects of this industry.”
