Question

【题目】 Protecting wildlife has become a tough problem in today’s world. As one of the effort, many countries formulate(制定) related laws to protect wildlife. The need for such protection was realized centuries ago in India.

About 300 BC an India writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today. The game of killing animals was carefully controlled. Some animals that became dangerous to human visitors were trapped or killed outside the park.

The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before. About a thousand kinds of animals are in danger of extinction(灭绝), and the speed at which they are being destroyed has been increasing. With mammals(哺乳动物), for example, the speed of extinction is now about one kind every year. From AD 1 to 1800, the speed was about one kind every fifty years. Everywhere, men are trying to solve the problem of saving wildlife while caring for the world’s growing population(人口).
