Which animal has been most successfully protected?
Why are the reserves being used to protect bamboo areas rather than the pandas?
Introduce one of them.
The problem the pandas face in China is that they do not have enough food because of the loss of bamboo growing areas. To solve this problem, China has set up a protection zone in Sichuan Province for the pandas. It is called the Wolong Nature Reserve. Because of that, things have changed for the better. The number of pandas has risen from very few to about 1,600 after the increase of bamboo areas for the pandas.

What have you learned from Daisy’s experience?
Retell the story
I have longed to help endangered wildlife for a long time. One day when I woke up, I found a flying carpet was by my bed. It took me to some distant places to see endangered wildlife.
I first saw a Tibetan antelope, it told me that they’re killed because their fur could be used to make sweaters like mine. I was very sorry to hear that they were endangered animals and wondered what was being done to help them.
Later, the carpet showed me a place where there is wildlife protection- Zimbabwe. There I talked with an elephant and got to know the farmers there no longer hunted them without mercy. That’s because the government helped farmers make money from tourists.
At last I arrived at a thick rainforest where a monkey told me “no rainforest, no animals, no drugs.” Although finally everything had gone, I had learned so much. What an experience!
Let’s protect wildlife!
