Let’s protect Asian Elephants
Asian elephants used to be seen everywhere in the forests of China. But now they are endangered. There are two reasons. First, people have cut down forests, so they lose their homes. Second, some people kill them for their ivory. This makes them nearly die out.
In my opinion, it is important for us to protect Asian elephants. First, we should build more nature reserves for them. In addition, we must stop people from killing them and buying their ivory. What’s more, we should pass a law so that they can get enough protection.
In a word, we must try our best to protect them. No buying, no killing.
