Since the 1980s, the term "poaching" has also been used to refer to the illegal harvesting of wild plant species.[5][6] In agricultural terms, the term 'poaching' is also applied to the loss of soils or grass by the damaging action of feet of livestock which can affect availability of productive land, water pollution through increased runoff and welfare issues for cattle.[7] Stealing livestock as in cattle raiding classifies as theft, not as poaching.[8]
