What are they killed for?

Luckily, there has been some progress in saving endangered wildlife in China.

Look at a report on some endangered wildlife in China.

Task1.Read the chart and answer some questions.

1.Which animal has been most successfully protected?

Milu because their numbers rose from none to more than 2,500.

2.Which animal needs the most protection now?

South China tiger because it is still seriously endangered.

3.Which animal is the luckiest of these three?

Milu deer because it had died out in China but the species was preserved in the UK.

4.Why are the reserve areas being used to protect the bamboo rather than the pandas?

Pandas live on a special kind of bamboo and without it they will die out.

Example:

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 Wolong Nature Reserve. Thanks to the effort, things have changed for the better. The number of pandas has risen from very few to about 1,600 after more than 50 reserves have been set up to protect the bamboo areas.

Task2.Practise talking about the report in complete sentences.

Reading task on P65

discussion

Why is it important to make sure that animals do not die out?

What can we do to help endangered animals?

Why is it important to make sure that animals do not die out?

All animals and plants have specific functions and are necessary if we want healthy ecosystems. We will not be able to survive if animals and plants die out.

2. We need the animals and plants for medical and commercial purposes.

3. We also have a moral responsibility to make sure that we do not cause other animals to die out because of our dominance on the planet.

What can we do to help endangered animals?

We can help endangered animals by protecting their habitats, creating new habitats.

Protecting the environment.

Controlling export and import of animals and plants.

Learn more about animals and the environment.

Suppose you were invited to take part in

a TV programme held by the WWF ,

You are expected to give your opinion on

what we can do to save the endangered animals.
