Hi guys. I'm Catie Wayne. And this is 'Animalist News.'
嗨，朋友们 我是凯蒂·韦恩 这是《动物世界新闻》
A recent death of a northern white rhino on a Kenyan reserve has left the subspecies all but extinct.
最近在肯尼亚自然保护区一头白犀牛死掉了 白犀牛是几乎灭绝的物种
He was one of only two remaining males left He was one of only two remaining males left is thought too old to reproduce.
这头白犀牛是仅存的两个公犀牛之一 在白犀牛的物种里，他们已经太老了，已经不能繁衍后代了。
In total, there are six northern white rhinos left in the world.
目前，在世仅有六只白犀牛。
I don't think I need to explain how serious this actually is.
我想我不必多说事情的严重性了吧。
This could easily be the end of this species as we know it.
就像我们所知道的一样，这个物种快要走到尽头了。
These incredibly low numbers have humans to blame, not unlike most cases of endangered animals.
是人类的罪过造成现在白犀牛如此低的数量 不像大多数的濒危动物
And in the past few years, the numbers of poached rhinos killed has increased significantly.
再过去的几年中偷猎造成犀牛的死亡显著增加
In 2013 more than 1,000 rhinos were illegally killed for their horns.
仅2013年就有超过1000头犀牛 因为他们的犀角而被猎杀
Because of these numbers, in 20 years there will likely not be any white rhinos left in the wild.
因为只有这几头犀牛，在20年内可能在野外不会再有白犀牛了

However, there is an incredibly small glimmer of hope.
然而 还有一点点的希望
A study at the University of Helsinki suggests that there should be a lift on the 35-year-old ban on rhino horn products,
赫尔辛基大学的一项研究建议我们应当废除一个35年长的禁令 对于犀牛角制品。
due to the fact that rhino horns are made from the same materials as human hair and nails, and can grow back.
事实上犀牛角的成分与人的头发 指甲一样 并且可以长回来
According to the Kruger National Park, they grow back at a rate of 12 centimeters a year, if the base is not damaged.
根据克鲁格国家公园的计算犀牛角的成长速度是每年12厘米只要犀牛角根部不受损伤
The horns could be harvested from rhinos that die of natural causes, or harvested from live ones with supposedly minimal risk to the rhinos.
犀牛角是可以从正常情况死亡的犀牛上收获，或者从活着的犀牛身上收割，只要控制在一个最小风险范围
This idea only works, though, if the money made in the trade goes directly back to conserving the animals at risk, not to mention the very real problem of getting them to reproduce.
此想法只在这种情况下有效，那就是交易产生的收入直接用于保护濒危动物方面 尤其是用于解决它们无法生育这样的实际问题上
What do you guys think?
大家是怎么认为的？
Should they lift the ban on rhino horn products?
犀牛角产品的禁令应该被解除吗？
