This is true - wildlife conservation is an incredibly difficult endeavor. Classical strategies such as those employed by WildAid [1] are not the only approaches on how to help poor creatures to survive poaching. Unfortunately, governments are slow to adopt technologic approaches that might help, and there is fierce resistence in NGOs to do so. The Rhino is a classical example of that case [2].
