12.The poaching(偷猎),or illegal killing,of rhinos(犀牛) in South Africa is growing worse each year.The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in 2015,a year which had more rhino killings in South Africa than ever before.The World Wildlife Fund,or WWF,says about 20,000rhinos live in South Africa.That is more than 80percent of the rhinos in the world.Edna Molewa,South Africa's Environment Minister,says,"During 2015,we are sad to say this,1,215rhinos were killed.This is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from 1,004in 2014and indeed very worrying."
The animals are hunted for their horns(角).Many people in Asia believe the horn has curing power,which drives poachers,at all costs,mad for more horns. But there is no scientific evidence for this belief.The horn is made of keratin(角蛋白).That is the same thing as human hair,fingernails and toenails.
Ms.Molewa said 386suspected poachers were arrested last year,an increase from the year before.But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest. South Africa's legal system is ineffective. Ms. Mo1ewa said more needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos.The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries."Now approximately 100rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the SADC region during 2015and 200more rhinos will be moved this year,"Molewa said.
Jo Shaw,the rhino program manager at the WWF,said,"We're talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month,or more than three a day.We really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally."She says officials should find the criminal groups responsible for the poaching and punish them.Government officials are to meet in Botswana in March at the Inter-governmental Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade.

29.What is the main reason for people to hunt rhinos?D

30.Jo Shaw thinks thatC.
