Due to the increases in poaching pressure on wildlife in Kenya, that country is going to add 500 more park rangers to their parks. According to the below linked article, "Poachers killed 360 elephants and 19 rhinos in 2012," within Kenya's National Parks.
As world economies suffer, we will see a continuing increased presence of wildlife and other resources theft with parks world wide. Meanwhile, in the United States we will be seeing fewer park rangers in our National Parks this summer due to budget constraints. That leaves us with fewer protectors of our nation's wildlife during a time when illegal taking of resources for financial gain will most likely increase.
