Answer 2

Explanation:

1. An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment, interacting as a system. These biotic and abiotic components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. Poaching can affect the environment by depleting certain species of animals. It causes animals that are endangered to become extinct, thus creating a disruption in the food chain. Eventually, it will cause as a result new adaptations of animals, and/or species beyond human control.
2. One of the main reasons that elephants are poached is because of their ivory. ... Their ivory tusks are used for ornaments, jewelry, billiards balls, piano keys and other items that humans enjoy. Another reason elephants are being poached is for their skin and meat, this is most common in Asian elephants.
