poaching
Poaching refers to the act of illegally hunting, capturing, or killing animals or fish, particularly those that are protected by law or out of legal hunting season. It also can refer to the illegal collection of plant species. The term can also be used in a culinary context to describe a cooking method where food is gently simmered in liquid.

Poaching
Poaching is the unlawful or illegal taking of wild plants or animals, such as through hunting, harvesting, fishing, or trapping. The law concerned may be a law of property, of regulation, or of local or international conservation and wildlife management. Violations of hunting laws and regulations are normally punishable by law and, collectively, such violations are known as poaching. By contrast, stealing or killing domestic animals or crops is considered to be theft, not poaching. Plant poaching is also a public issue due to a decrease in plant wildlife. A prominent example, from the United States, is the removal of ginseng growing in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is estimated that wild ginseng plants are worth more than $260–365 per pound on the black market.
