Protect Animals in Danger
There are many endangered animals in the world. One of them is the panda. The panda used to live in high mountains, but now most of them are living in zoos or research bases. A panda needs to eat about 30 kilos of bamboo a day. However, pandas are in great danger. First, pandas don’t have many babies, and baby pandas often die. Second, pandas eat bamboo for food, but the bamboo forests are getting smaller.
In order to protect animals in danger, we should stop cutting down trees. Besides, we can set up more nature parks and develop other plans. What’s more, everyone should have a responsibility to improve our views about the wild animals which are a part of our life. Finally, the media should report and pay attention to the wild animals.
As many of us say, “No trading, no killing.” Most of the people may find the necessity of changing our attitude. It is time to protect the wild animals.
