The series showcases how animals have always found homage in forests. These jungles have been the only place for them to be safe and sound. However, over the years many poachers have begun killing innocent animals for malpractices. They have encroached and invaded the forests for their selfish reasons which has also become the reason for many species going extinct.
Poacher is produced by QC Entertainment’s Edward H. Hamm Jr., Sean McKittrick, and Raymond Mansfield, in association with Eternal Sunshine Productions, Suitable Pictures and Poor Man’s Productions.
The web show is slated to release on the 23rd of February on Amazon Prime Video.
