NBA star Yao Ming has a restaurant in the USA. The restaurant sells many famous dishes. But one dish could never be made there---shark fin soup(鱼翅汤). Yao has given up shark fin soup since he joined a program for saving endangered animals in 2006. “Animals are our friends,” he said.:How much do you know about these endangered animals?

Sharks, the king of the ocean, are in danger. Each year about 75 million sharks are killed for their fins, 8 kinds of shark have died out.

In some Asian countries, people get bile(胆汁) from Asian black bears’ stomachs and use it as traditional Chinese medicine. The animal’s population has decreased(下降) by 30% to 49% during the past 30 years.

The shahtoosh shawl(沙图什披肩) is thought to be the softest and most beautiful in the world. It is popular in Europe and the US. However, one has to kill three to five Tibetan antelopes(藏羚羊) to make just one shahtoosh. About 20,000 antelopes were killed every year during the 1980s.

One day, if animals all disappeared, the world we live in would come to an end. Saving them now means saving ourselves. Maybe you think that only scientists or famous people can save animals. In fact, everyone can do something. Here are some useful tips for students.

Don’t eat foods that are made of endangered animals, such as shark fin soup. Ask your parents and friends to do so, too.

Don’t buy or use something that is made out of endangered animals, like clothes with antelope fur or necklaces made of ivory(象牙). You should also tell your parents not to buy these things, either.

You can become a volunteer to help build the habitats(栖息地) of endangered animals. There is a lot of information on the Internet about these volunteer jobs.

You can hold a photo show at your school to tell people the situation of endangered animals and what people can do to help save them.
