5=1.0 pt).
Nowadays people are more aware that wild life all over the world is in
danger. Many species of animals are threatened, and could easily become
extinct if we do not make an effort to protect them. There are many reasons for
this. In some cases animals are hunted for fur or for other valuable parts of their
bodies. Some birds, such as parrots, are caught alive , and sold as pets. For
many animals and birds, the problem is that their habitat-the place where they
live is disappearing. More land is used for farms, for houses and industry, and
there are fewer open places than there once were. Farmers use powerful
chemicals to help them grow better crops, but these chemicals pollute the
environment and harm the wildlife. The most successful animals on the earth –
human beings will soon be the only ones left, unless we can solve this problem.
