South Africa’s environment ministry1 reported a second year of decline in rhino2 poaching. Illegal killings3 rose from fewer than 100 in 2008, driven by demand for rhino horn in traditional medicines. But the number peaked in 2014; last year they fell by 10%, to 1,054, thanks mostly to better policing. Poachers also killed 46 elephants in the Kruger National Park.

Rhino: 犀牛
Poach：偷猎
Peak：达到顶峰
