This is good news, considering the danger these trackers put themselves into on a daily basis. The poachers are relentless, and even after having been caught, will resume their poaching activities. Punishments need to be much more severe so that the poachers understand the severity of their crimes. This is a huge task, when presently many countries on the African continent are in political upheaval and unfortunately have concentrated their priorities elsewhere, leaving the fate of their rich wildlife vulnerable to disaster.
