Originally, it was just elephant hunting. It started thousands of years ago, because people valued ivory, which is the material that an elephant's tusks are made of.

However, some people still wanted ivory, and so there were others who were willing to illegal hunt for it to gain profits. This is poaching, and that is how it started.
