what is the main idea in this story Poachers in Africa are killing large numbers of rhinos for their horns. Rhinoceros horns, valued for use in traditional medicines in Vietnam and China, can fetch as much as thirty-six thousand dollars a pound. Officials have tried to protect the rhinos: they have created fenced areas for the animals, patrolled their habitats, and even tried removing their horns. Despite these efforts, the number of rhinos in Africa has been dwindling. One creative solution to the poaching problem is to remove the rhinos from Africa altogether. Ray Dearlove, the founder of the Australian Rhino Project, came up with a plan to relocate eighty rhinos to a safari park outside Adelaide, Australia, where a breeding herd can be established.

Edgar Sandoval · Answer 1

the main idea is to protect rhinos in Africa territory.

Explanation:

In my opinion relocate them (the rhinos) is not a good idea, totally artificial; instead government guards must detect who are these gangs that commercialize their horns and put them into JAIL. Because animals are unprotected by themselves, they need human protection, by protection areas strategies and political influences in order to maintain them in their natural habitat. This is my opinion. And hurry find another way to medicines (Vietnam and China).
