Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways Some countries, in order to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves They, then charge admission to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support With the money they get, they can invest equipment and patrols to protect the animals Another solution that is
