Animals in danger

All over the world, there are animals may be in peril for different reasons. We hunt some of them for food, or for their fur or ivory. We destroy other animals’ habitat. And still others suffer of drought and civil war. Elephants are in both Africa and India. Their tusks are very valuable in many countries, even though it is illegal to buy and sell them. They also suffer when their water supply disappears. In Siberia, hunters kill tigers for their furs and their paws. People think that the paws will bring them good luck. In Rwanda, gorillas are in danger because of civil war.

There are some good news. Twenty years ago, blue whales were in danger of extinction. Now the number are increasing again because of the international ban on whaling. However, some countries, including Japan and Norway, want to start whaling again.

There are a lot of special organizations, which try to save our animals. Nation campaigns tries to protect animals from bad use, aimed at lost pets, circus animals. These organization also helped to create more than 250 National parks. We must save wild animals. And we must find the right way to save land, people and animals.
