Essay topics:

Although the sale of rhinoceros horns is illegal worldwide, rhinoceroses (Rhinos) are commonly poached (hunted illegally) for their horns, which can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars per kilogram. Rhino horns are so valuable that one type of rhino is already extinct because poachers killed too many of them. All rhinos may soon become extinct unless something is done to help save them. Several ideas have been suggested
The first idea is for wildlife experts to “dehorn" Rhinos living in the wild. Dehorning means removing the horns of living rhinos to make them less attractive to poachers Horns can be removed without hurting the animals if medical equipment and drugs to calm the animals are used When this strategy was tried on a small scale in the early 1990s; none of the rhinos dehorned at the time were killed by poachers.
The second possibility is to educate consumers. The majority of rhino horn sold is used in medicines Although rhino horn is believed to have health benefits, this belief has no scientific foundation Rhino horn consists almost entirely of keratin, the same material found in human hair and nails. Keratin has no known health value. Educating consumers about keratin could greatly decrease the demand for rhino horn
The third possibility is to legalize government sales of rhino horn. Some governments have large amounts of horn, taken from poachers they have arrested This horn is often kept in storage. However, if government sales were legal, large quantities of horn that governments already have could be sold at very low prices Poachers kill rhinos because consumers pay high prices for their horns If governments started selling cheap rhino horn, rhino poaching would no longer be profitable and would probably stop, at least for a while. That might help endangered rhino populations to recover.

Killing rhinoceros by poachers for their horn is a big challenge that threatens their existence. In the passage, the author concentrates on several solutions to save them from extinction. However, the lecturer cast doubt on these solutions and mentioned that they have significant weaknesses, also respectively points out the problems with all author's assertions.
To begin with, according to the passage removing the horn of Rhinos that living in nature would be a good solution. It refers to successful work in 1992 in this regard. On the contrary, the lecturer raises the fact that this plan is not practical because they have to find all of them and prepare special conditions for surgery in order to remove their horn. In addition, they use their horn for many aims such as protecting their territories, finding food, saving their children, and so on.
Moreover, the passage brings up another idea by proposing a teaching program for consumers to prevent using the horn. In the program, they can teach them that using Rhino's horn does not have any scientific foundation. Conversely, the lecturer highlights the fact that many people have deep cultural concepts that we can not change their minds in the meantime. In fact, they have storage beliefs to use Rhino horn for medical usage.
The last point discussed in the passage has to do with the legalization of the horn trade by government. It mentioned that government has many horns in storage and can sell them in order to decrease the horn demand to reduce Rhinos poaching. However, with reference to the account of the lecturer, this plan could be applicable. Many people do not like to buy horn because is illegal If the government sell those horns, many people want to buy horn for decorative things and the demand for horn will increase. Therefore, killing of Rhinos will increase, and indeed its population can not recover.
