Once there were many thousands of Gourma Desert（沙漠） elephants in Mali,a country in West Africa. Now,there are fewer than four hundred.
Why did the number of the elephants drop so quickly. On the one hand,the elephants’ main lake,their only water source（来源）,dried up. On the other hand,the land which the elephants lived on was overused by humans.
To protect the elephants’ living environment,the Mali Elephant Project（MEP） was started in 2007. MEP met with local people and helped them make rules of using land and water. As a result,the situation became better and there was more food,forest and grassland.
However,from 2012 to 2016,poaching（偷猎） and illegal trade in the elephants increased rapidly.Eighty-three elephants were lost in 2015 alone,and another fifty-one elephant were killed in 2016.“If this situation goes on,all the Gourma elephants will be killed by 2020,” said a member of MEP.
Luckily,the voice of MEP was heard. More organizations（组织） have joined together to educate the local people that trading elephants is against the law. Elephant poaching has dropped to a very low level. The local people have learned to live peacefully with the elephants,one of the wildlife treasures in the world.

As a reporter,I did lots of surveys about the relation between zoos and endangered animals. In some cities,zoos should be the last place for any kind of animal,let alone the endangered kind. There the zoos don’t have good living condition. Although a normal zoo should educate people about the protection of animals,these city zoos don’t. Many of them are quite small,and the labels（标牌） provide little information.
The purpose of these zoos’ research is to find ways to feed more animals and make their numbers larger. Most of the animals in zoos are not endangered at all,nor are they being prepared to be returned to nature. In such a situation,there wasn’t enough room for endangered animals.
One of our reports shows that animals can be badly influenced if they have to live in crowded cages. The bad living conditions in zoos often make the animals have unusual behavior（行为）. For example,they may hit their heads against the wall,bite cage bars and even bite their own legs. More than 60% of the animals in zoos have scars（伤疤） in their heads because they continuously hit their heads against the bars. Some other research shows that 10 to 15 percent of animals die every year in the city zoos.Let’s call up more people to learn about animals and try our best to protect them in different ways.
As a reporter,I found the animals in some city zoos were not in good living 29.___________. These zoos didn’t educate people to 30.________ animals. They were small and didn’t provide enough information on animals. They did some research only to help find ways to feed the animals and how to make the animals become more. There wasn’t much room for endangered animals because most of the normal animals were not planned to be returned to the 31.________ environment. Because of this,the animals in the zoo often behave32.__________. For example,they may hurt themselves by hitting their heads 33.________ the wall,biting cage bars or their own legs. So you see,it’s high time for us to come up with ideas about the protection of animals.
