Read the passage and choose the best answer to the questions. Rhino horn is used to make ornaments and medicines. It has been used for these purposes for centuries. Nowadays, however, the decrease in rhino numbers and the increase in the illegal export of rhino horn threaten to wipe out the African continent's rhino population. This report gives the results of a survey into current rhino population and makes recommendations about how to protect them. The survey was carried out by Traffic, a wildlife trade monitoring programme. It found that:  Outside southern Africa only 192 white rhino and 427 black rhino remain in the world.  More than 22,000 rhinos have been killed since 1970 to meet market demands.  Poaching is taking place in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and in Kenya and Tanzania, with Sudan being the major exporter of rhino horn. Reasons why the trade continues include:  The very high price fetched by rhino horn: more than $1,000 per kilogram.  The fact that customs officers are easy targets for bribery. Traffic recommendations:  The introduction of sniffer dogs into customs services.  Education of the public to encourage them not to buy products made from rhino horn. 41.
