Unit 4 We can save the animals 我们可以拯救这些动物
Would you like to live in a world with no pandas, tigers or whales? These and many other animals are in danger. If we don’t do something now, they may all disappear forever!
One problem is that their homes are disappearing. People cut down the forests and pollute the oceans, so these animals have no place to live in. Also, many people buy things made from these animals, like medicines, fur coats and even foods.
If you love the earth and love the animals, please do something about it. Never buy things made from animals in danger. Plant trees and don’t pollute. If we all work together we can still save the animals.
