Even though it is illegal, locals do hunt wildlife such as boar, civet, pangolin,snake,lizard, deer, tortiose, mouse dear, slow loris etc. For them, wildlife is not only a source of food, yet due to the high prices achieved on the black market a great and easy source of income. For example, one kilogram of pangolin is worth more than 150$ here.
Since it is difficult to change habits at once, BCDO educates its pupils not to hunt endangered species in future, thus hopefully decreasing the poaching in the long run.
