They may lose their secure income and become angry. So the best way is to protect the animal and help the poor farmers have a secure income. The poor farmers can be employed to work in the park. They should be taught the importance of wildlife protection and how to treat these wildlife animals. They can live together harmoniously and without harm. As to these who do harm to the animals, they should be punished. They should be fined or sentences to jails. However, that may not change the situation totally. People should be taught the importance of wildlife protection. For it’s a wildlife park, people coming into the park may hurt the animals. So rules protecting wildlife are necessary. First, prohibit people taking tools may hurt animals, such as knife, fire, gun…

Second, ask people not to throw away their rubbish randomly. Third, encourage people not to disturb these animals. Fourth, people should learn about the wild animals, such as how fierce they are, what they’d like to eat, what they’d like to do…
