Firstly, not protecting these endangered animals creates unbalance in nature which could have a negative impact on other animals as well as human life.Secondly, tourists don't come to South Africa to experience the crime rate, they come to experience Africa which for obvious reasons includes witnessing these majestic animals.

I am signing this petition because the dissolution of the SAPS Endangered Species Unit is a devastating blow to wildlife conservation in South Africa. This specialized unit has played a critical role in combating poaching, dismantling wildlife trafficking networks, and protecting species on the brink of extinction. Without it, countless animals—rhinos, pangolins, elephants, and many more—will face an even greater threat.Kirstin van de Vyver (Hoedspruit, 2025-01-29)
