Summary
    The hirola , an animal species amid Kenya and Somalia, is facing their extinction. Since 1960s, the governments and conservationists have been working to save this mammal. But most of their attempts do not help the hirola to save their number because of climate change, unexpected hunting from predators, the competition with neighbor livestock for food, and some conservative organisations' wrong procedures for the animal's conservation. But a community which is organized by Somalian clans attempts to execute a useful way for saving the hirola. They are constructing a new sanctuary for the animal. The sanctuary consists of not only predator-free, but also tourism. The benefit from the tourism  is allocated for proceeding the operate of the sanctuary mostly, and the remains are used for conservation practices and hiring scouts to patrol and prevent the hires. Its effort spreads its neighborhoods.


My opinion
 I wrote about the increasing of the gray wolves' population before. I understood whichever an animal number is increasing or decreasing, the incident is suffered from the specific people. In a class in the last semester, we debated what the major language is. In the lecture, we argued that the minor language was forced to be disappeared by the major language. I thought these two situations resemble each other.
 I wonder how people think if the extinct species were a microscopic creature. Because, in that class,  I had thought that I do not care whether a minor language disappears or not. What is the main difference between visible(major) things and invisible(minor) things?
