In many countries today,laws protect wildlife.In India,the need for such protection was realised centuries ago.
About 300 BCE an Indian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today.The game of killing beasts was carefully supervised(监视).Some animals were fully protected.Within the forest,nobody was allowed to cut wood for building,burn wood for fire,or catch animals for their fur.Animals that became dangerous to visitors were caught or killed outside the park so that other animals would not become uneasy.
The need for wildlife protection is greater now than before.About a thousand species of animals are in danger of extinction,and the speed at which they are being destroyed has increased.Take mammals(哺乳动物) for example.The speed of extinction was about one species every fifty years from CE 1 to 1800,but now it is about one species every year.Everywhere,people are trying to solve the problem of protecting wildlife and caring about the rapid growth of the world’s population.
