Animals have to be protected
Let’s have a look at other endangered animals.
Activity 1
曾广泛分布于中国东部、日本、俄罗斯、朝鲜等地,由于环境恶化,大量的水田农药,生存空间越来越狭小导致种群数量急剧下降,至20世纪80年代仅我国陕西省南部的汉中市洋县秦岭南麓仅有7只野生种群,后经人工繁殖,种群数量已达到2000多只
Golden monkey(金丝猴)
由于人类的过度开发,乱砍森林,金丝猴的栖息地越来越小,他们的生存空间受到威胁,因而他们的繁衍也受到了濒临灭绝的威胁。
中国特有的淡水鲸类,仅产于长江中下游。在20世纪80年代由于江水污染等原因,白鳍豚种群数量锐减,2002年估计已不足50头
人类大量捕猎、猎杀,种群规模缩小 ,栖息地受到严重破坏,生存空间缩小(森林采伐、毁森开垦 )自然环境污染严重

Since we have acknowledged so much about endangered animals, what’s your feeling about them ? What should we do?
Please write an article named “Animals have to be protected”
Cheetahs are the fastest land animals. They can run at a top speed(速度) of more than 110 kilometers per hours(每小时). Most of cheetahs live in Africa and Asia. A cheetah’s body is up to 1 to 1.5 meters long and 70 to 90 centimeters high. A cheetah usually weighs 20 to 80 kilos.
Now cheetahs are endangered. People have taken up their habitats for farming. Sometimes they can’t find enough food. People have also killed too many cheetahs for their fur. The number of cheetahs is getting smaller and smaller.
We should try our best to protect them. We should plant more trees to increase the forest. People should stop killing them for their fur. If we do nothing, soon there will be no more cheetahs in the world.
