The student correctly describes the local issue of rhino poaching and its significant impact on tourism in South Africa, outlining how it threatens the rhino population, which is vital for biodiversity and tourism. The explanation of rhino poaching is sufficient, providing the reader with a clear understanding of the research question through an overview of the issue, its definition, and consequences. However, the student does not provide sufficient background information, lacking a literature review or discussion of relevant theories, such as urban impacts on mangroves and the "edge effects" theory. Nonetheless, the student effectively poses a focused research question that addresses the environmental issue and emphasizes the relationship between poaching and tourism.

The student identifies and describes a community-based conservation strategy aimed at addressing rhino poaching's impact on tourism in South Africa, emphasizing the importance of engaging local populations through education and economic incentives. This strategy is relevant to the research question as it aligns with the goals of reducing poaching and promoting wildlife tourism, thereby supporting environmental sustainability and the local economy. However, the student fails to identify or discuss the social, economic, political, environmental, or cultural tensions that may arise from the strategy, which is a significant oversight. Additionally, the conflicting goals of stakeholders affected by the outlined strategy are not sufficiently examined, leaving the reader without a clear understanding of the complexities involved. Overall, while the strategy is well described, addressing these tensions and stakeholder conflicts would enhance the analysis.
