Poverty creates such awful situations for people and the surrounding natural enviroment in many many countries.
You are very right we are very lucky, over fishing of the zebs goes hand in hand with the economic situation of the peoole fishing them. vicious circle really one can't be solved without the other first.

I was lucky enough to visit Rio a few years ago and its amaizing the difference between the have and have nots. The rich live on the front with built houses but on the mountains behind the rest are in shanty towns where they steal electricity.
My parents were near the Xingu last year and said that its worse in the major cities there.
