20、 holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor.

Poachers have killed two-thirds of South Africas rhinos over the past years. In 2014 alo

29、ne, 1,215 South African rhinos were killed by poachers. Millions of dollars are spent each year on protecting the animals, with limited success: last year 394 deaths were recorded.

If we can find a way to safely put radiation in the horns, it

34、 could end poaching, because it would no longer be safe for people to use horns to make medicine,” Dr Klein said.
