The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) worked with a task force of local police and forest department officials in the Indian state of Assam to prevent any of the endangered animals from being killed. They accomplished this for the first time in 45 years. One-horned rhinos are located only in northern India and southern Nepal. The largest population is in Assam, where about 2,900 of them live. The rhinos are killed for their horns, which are considered symbols of success and wealth or used as a medicine. Poachers killed about 191 rhinos between 2000 and 2021. The animals are also threatened by deforestation, flooding, and human development on or near their habitat. The task force increased patrols, especially during full Moons, when poachers often operate. IFAW and WTI trained park rangers, increased enforcement, and encouraged residents of communities along park borders to monitor the roads going in and out for poachers. The groups also helped restore key rhino habitats, including Kaziranga and Manas National Parks. “This incredible achievement sets an example globally on how we can change the narrative and improve the future for a species/ Dr. Rathin Barman, a WTI official, said in a statement. The organizations said they would continue to work to protect rhinos. 语法要点: 1,被动语态 语态是动词的一种形式，用来说明句中主语和谓语动词的关系。 如果主语是动作的执行者，则使用主动语态； 如果主语是动作的承受者，则使用被动语态。 被动语态的构成：谓语用“be +过去分词”表达。主动语态的主语变为by短语。 be killed； are killed； are considered； 主动语态的主语往往变为by短语： The animals are also threatened by deforestation, flooding, and human development on or near their habitat. 2,定语从句 Assam, where about 2,900 of them live. where引导从句做Assam的定语(where指代Assam做从句地点状语in Assam)o horns, which are consi
