130,000 square kilometres of forest disappear every year
around 25,000 trees are cut down each day just to make toilet paper
each day, around 150 to 200 species of plants and animals become extinct—nearly 1,000 times the natural rate of extinction
over 1 million animals are killed by ocean pollution each year
1 billion people don’t have clean drinking water
Task 2: Read the passage carefully.

If we do not change our ways, we are at risk of ruining our planet and destroying many more plants and animals. Some day in the future, there may be no tigers, no horses, no butterflies, no
dolphins and no whales;nor will there be any trees or flowers. All of these things will be gone. And we will be gone, too.
Time is running out. Our planet needs our help. It’s up to us to decide together what happens next.
