There are more and more people but fewer and fewer animals in our world now. We can seldom see birds and listen to their singing. Many animals can only be seen in the zoo or on books.
As we all know, a lot of wild animals, such as pandas and tigers are in great danger. Recently, scientists found that the bees, which could still be seen everywhere now, were dying out, too. Can you imagine a world without bees? We would have no food if there were no bees working on the flowers.
There are many laws to protect wild animals recently, but it is more important for us to do something for wild animals in our daily life. We can help make the world better by saving water, planting more trees and flowers and using less paper. Let’s take animals as members of the world, but not just our food or pets.
