                                                                                        Saving wild animals

    Nowadays, there is a widespread concern over wildlife extinction. As the environment in which wild animals are living is worsening,

many wild animals are on the verge of extinction.

    This issue is attributed to the following points. First, wild animals' living areas have become narrower and narrower with human

activities intruding into their habitats. Second, the using of insecticide has resulted in pollution deadly to wild animals. Third, many

wild animals are now confronted with food crisis. At the same time, human beings are killing off species for their fur, horns, teeth or

just meat for consumption.

    As far as I am concerned, this issue requires great attention. People should know that all species on earth are related to each

other ultimately and extinction of any species may harm other ones. Therefore, we should make every effort to save wild animals.

On the one hand, pollution-preventing measures are to be taken to keep down poisons. On the other hand, killing of certain rare

species should be prohibited and national parks should be set up as wildlife reserves. Only in this way can we maintain nature's

variety.
