They’re very special to me.” In fact, many people around the world love these black and white animals. Pandas have become so popular that they are now a symbol of China.

Scientists say there are now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the forests. Another 300 or so live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries. Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one every two years. The babies often die from illnesses and do not live very long. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, there were a lot more bamboo forests and pandas in China, but then humans started to cut down the forests. As the forests get smaller and other human activities cause more problems, pandas cannot find enough to eat and they are having fewer babies.
科学家们说如今生活在森林里面的大熊猫不足2000只。另有大约300只熊猫生活在动物园或中国研究中心里以及其他国家。 大熊猫没有很多孩子，可能每两年仅有一个孩子。这些幼崽经常死于疾病，而且存活得时间不会太长。成年大熊猫每天都会花费12个多小时吃大约10斤的竹子。很多年以前，在中国有更多的竹林和大熊猫，但是从那时起，人们开始砍伐森林。随着森林变得更少和其他人类活动引起的更多问题，熊猫们找不到足够吃的东西，它们的孩子也变得更少。

Why Should We Protect Wild Animals
Do you know any endangered animals Why are they in danger
As far as I know there are many endangered animals in the world, such as tigers and pandas. When farmers cut down trees, tigers can no longer hide and hunt. Quite a few tigers are killed by people who want to sell their fur for money. And there are few places where pandas can live.
We are not alone in the world. We human beings could not live without all the plants and animals around us. So protecting wild animals is very important. We must take measures to keep plants from being destroyed and stop animals from being killed. We all hope that in the future there will be a lot more forests and wild animals.

为什么我们要保护野生动物？
你知道一些濒危野生动物吗？为什么他们处于危险之中？
据我所知，世界上有很多濒危动物，比如说老虎、大熊猫。当农民们砍倒树木，老虎就没有办法隐藏和捕猎。许多老虎被人们杀死，他们想要卖老虎的皮毛换钱。而且几乎大熊猫没有地方可以去生存。
我们在世界上不是孤单的。我们人类不能在我们周围没有植物和动物的情况下去生存。所以，保护野生动物非常重要。我们必须采取措施保护植物不被破坏并且阻止动物被杀。我们所有人都希望在未来将会有更多的森林和野生动物。
