IUCN status of single horn rhino

Saving the RhinosPoachers 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.What is the main, or central, idea of the passage?

Meru National Park in Kenya was home to hundreds of rhinos. That changed a few years ago. Poachers killed many animals to sell their horns. To protect the remaining rhinos, experts took them to Lake Nakuru National Park. They knew that if they did not, the rhinos would become extinct. In fact, black rhinos are already in danger. There are now only about 3,100 black rhinos in Africa. If poaching does not stop, those numbers will go down even more.Do It!This species of rhinos is _________.Press enter to interact with the item, and press tab button or down arrow until reaching the Submit button once the item is selectedA ignoredB destroyedC threatenedD adapting
