The Rescue’ is a short story that teaches us to empathize with animals. Wild animals like
rhinoceros, tigers and elephants are often trapped and sold illegally. Monkeys, snakes and
bears are forced to perform tricks to amuse audiences in public places so that their owners
can make money. Make a poster to show that it is wrong to trap wild animals and inhuman to
treat them cruelly. You can include a drawing , a catchy line, some do’s and don’ts and issued
by in your poster. Write a slogan to focus on the strong message that you want to convey
through the poster.

Rhino poaching in South Africa increased from 13 to 1,004 between 2007 and 2013.
Wildlife crime is a big business. Run by dangerous international networks, wildlife and animal parts are trafficked much like illegal drugs and arms. By its very nature, it is almost impossible to obtain reliable figures for the value of the illegal wildlife trade. Experts at TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, estimate that it runs into billions of dollars.
Some examples of illegal wildlife trade are well known, such as poaching of elephants for ivory and tigers for their skins and bones. However, countless other species are similarly overexploited, from marine turtles to timber trees. Not all wildlife trade is illegal. Wild plants and animals from tens of thousands of species are caught or harvested from the wild and then sold legitimately as food, pets, ornamental plants, leather, tourist ornaments and medicine. Wildlife trade escalates into a crisis when an increasing proportion is illegal and unsustainable—directly threatening the survival of many species in the wild.
Stamping out wildlife crime is a priority for WWF because it’s the largest direct threat to the future of many of the world’s most threatened species. It is second only to habitat destruction in overall threats against species
