The organisms in green are primary producers and include star grass and acacia. Primary consumers (blue), including the rhino, mouse, termite, and gazelle (all herbivores), consume these producers. The mongoose (secondary consumer) eats the mouse & termite, and is an omnivore. The primary & secondary consumers are eaten by tertiary consumers (yellow), which include the lion, caracal, hyena, and crocodile (all carnivores). Finally, the vulture (detritivore), a quaternary consumer, consumes the remains of all other consumers. Although adult rhinos don't have any predators in the wild, tertiary consumers like lions and hyenas depend on juvenile and baby rhinos for a food source. Poaching rhinos removes a large food source for these tertiary consumers, and can cause their populations to fall. Humans are indirectly affected by poaching because the removal of rhinos and other animals from the ecosystem prevents natural resources from being returned to the environment. Because of this, the land may become non-arable, and humans' food production would be significantly impacted.

The organisms in green are primary producers and include star grass and acacia. These primary producers are autotrophs, which means that they create their own food. Primary consumers (blue), including the rhino, mouse, termite, and gazelle (all herbivores, which means that they only feed on plants), consume these producers. The mongoose (secondary consumer) eats the mouse & termite, and is an omnivore, so it feeds on both plants and animals. The primary & secondary consumers are eaten by tertiary consumers (yellow), which include the lion, caracal, hyena, and crocodile (all carnivores, meaning that they only eat animal matter). Finally, the vulture (detritivore), a quaternary consumer, consumes the remains of all other consumers. Detritivores feed on dead or decaying organic material. Although adult rhinos don't have any predators in the wild, tertiary consumers like lions and hyenas depend on juvenile and baby rhinos for a food source. Poaching rhinos removes a large food source for these tertiary consumers, and can cause their populations to fall. Humans are indirectly affected by poaching because the removal of rhinos and other animals from the ecosystem prevents natural resources from being returned to the environment. Because of this, the land may become non-arable, and humans' food production would be significantly impacted.
