Ms.Molewa said 386 suspected 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.Molewa 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 100 rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the SADC region during 2014 and 200 more 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. 文章大意：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了在南非偷獵犀牛變得越來越嚴重了，人們偷獵犀牛的目的是為了賣它的牛角賺錢。作者在最后一段指出禁止偷獵犀牛需要國際間的合作。,1．What do we know about rhinos?
