Animals in danger
Many animals are in danger around the world. Here are some examples.
**********************************************************
The blue whale lives in oceans around the world. It is the largest animal in the world, but it feeds on the smallest animals. Some people kill the whales. And the sea water is polluted. There may be only about 3, 000 blue whales left.
************************************************************************************
South China Tigers live in the South China forests and mountains. The area of their home is becoming smaller for many different reasons, so they have less and less land to live on. South China Tigers don’t have many babies, and their babies often die. The situation is becoming very serious. Our government is working hard to save South China Tigers. They have built 3 nature reserves(自然保护区) to protect South China Tigers.
************************************************************************************
Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. There are only about 1600 pandas in the wild today. Zoos and research centers are looking after about 340 pandas. Pandas do not have many babies, and baby pandas often die. The situation is getting very difficult. Scientists are doing a lot of research to help pandas produce more babies and help baby pandas live.
Each panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The bamboo forests are getting smaller, so pandas are losing their home.
In order to protect pandas in the wild, the government is setting up nature parks and developing other plans. The nature parks will be big and there will be more bamboo to feed the pandas. Pandas born in zoos may go back to live in the nature parks.
