Read the given passage and answer the question that follows

As a result of increasing population and expansion of residential areas, forest lands are being encroached. This is not all; even the wildlife is under extreme threat. As our fauna is facing a dearth of adequate shelter in forests, they are heading towards towns and hence get killed by hunters. Consequently, many animal species have either become extinct or are on the verge of extinction. The Black Buck is almost endangered and found only in two countries, Nepal and India. In India, this antelope is found in many national parks like Guindy National Park, Point Calimere and Vellandu sanctuaries of Tamil Nadu, Rollapadu of Andra Pradesh, few parts of Rajasthan and Haryana. As far as their habitat is concerned, they live in open grasslands, dry areas or thinly populated areas and near water resources. They live in the desert areas of Rajasthan and coastal areas because they cannot sustain cold climate. They are the fastest running animals on this planet. Further, this animal is active during the day, but slows down in its activities after mid-day. They are social beings. Hence, they move with their herds, which can vary from 3 to 23 mates. They cohabit twice in a year and give birth twice in a year

Prior to independence, this antelope was extensively hunted which affected their population so much that this species has reached the stage of extinction in many parts of the country. Poachers kill them mainly for material gain. Its skin has an enormous value in the market. In order to protect this species, the IUCN has declared this species nearly threatened. Hence, under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972, numerous stern measures have been taken. To specify a few, Kaimur Wildlife Sanctuary (Bihar), Gir Forest National Park, Velavadar Wildlife Sanctuary (Gujarat), National Chambal Sanctuary, etc. Despite these acts, hunting is adversely affecting our wildlife. There are some solutions to this problem but the best one is to boycott the products made from endangered species at an international level. This seems to be effective but will it prevent animal hunting? That’s a question.
