Internet threatens rare species, conservationists warn

The internet is becoming the dominant factor in everything.

And besides that how is the internet making poaching easier? You need somebody to physically and illegally hunt the creature (internet doesn't help here) and somebody to receive the creature through customs and some means of transportation (again the internet doesn't help here). So the only thing internet helps is faster searching and maybe paying for said creature. I doubt this was the most difficult thing before the internet came around.
