Protecting wild animals.
Most Wild Animals live in Africa and America. In Africa there are elephants, and lions but elephants may soon become extinct because people kill them for their tusks which are very expensive. It is the same with rhinoceros – its horn is valuable, too. In Africa there were also many species of colourful parrots. Now there are fewer and fewer of them.
The wildlife in the area of the Amazon river is also in danger because people are cutting down the forests known as the “lungs of the world”. This not only destroys the habitat of animals but also influences the climate of the world. Burning large areas of forests may cause irreparable lost to the environment and wild animals as happened in the fires in Malaysia in 1997.
There is less space for the wild animals on the Earth because people cut down forests, build cities, and this way change the natural environment. National parks are created to protect wild animals. International laws are introduced to save the animals from the people who hunt and kill them. Some of the animals in danger of extinction are taken to zoological gardens in other countries to be bred and then they are let free in their natural environment again.
But all that is not enough. More and more animals species are in danger of extinction. It is our duty to protect them and do everything to ensure their survival.
