Over 200 species of fish, 300 species of molluscs and 100 different species of crustaceans live in the marine sanctuary. There are also sharks and sea snakes as well as other forms of marine life. Several of these species, notably the sea sturgeon are considered protected species.
Some of these species are in danger due to illegal fishing and it is not always easy to protect them. Another problem is man-made pollution along and around the coastal area. That is why it is important for tourists not to fish in the area and not to throw any rubbish in the sea. They should take their rubbish home with them.
With everyone’ s help we can protect this beautiful region.
Rainforests
Rainforests are very dense, warm, wet forests. They can be found in hot and humid regions near the Equator. The most famous rainforest is the Amazon but there are also rainforests in Australia, Indonesia, Africa and some parts of the USA.
Millions of plants and animals live in rainforests. In fact, scientists believe that many have not yet been discovered and named.
Rainforests are essential to the health and survival of the Earth because they produce most of the Earth’ s oxygen. There are four layers in rainforest. The first layer is the forest floor and next layer is called the understorey …
For and against essay Cutting down trees
Do you know that thousands of square kilometers of forest are being cut down every year? While cutting down trees can benefit man greatly, it must be said that it also has its fair share of disadvantages.
Trees can provide us with many useful products. Firstly, wood is an essential building material for housing and it is a source of heating fuel. Certain trees also provide us with medicine. For example, the bark of the cinchona tree contains quinine, which is used to treat malaria. We also get paper, cork and rubber from trees.
However, cutting down trees has several disadvantages. We are destroying natural habitats and so putting animals in danger of extinction. Furthermore, deforestation is contributing to global warming because there are fewer trees to absorb the carbon dioxide in the air.
To sum up, although there are advantages to cutting down trees I believe that it is important to reduce the number of trees that we cut down so we can guarantee the survival of animal species and also slow down global warming.
Endangered species
The humpback whale lives in all of the world’ s oceans. It has a bulky head and 2 blowholes. Humpback whales grow to be about 16 m long, and can weigh up to 27-45 tonnes. They are seasonal feeders and carnivores. They eat small fish( herring and mackerel), tiny crustaceans and plankton. They are like acrobats of the ocean and can swim on their backs. The humpback whale can live up to almost a hundred years.
Humpback whales are an endangered species because of illegal whaling, getting caught in fishing nets and pollution. It is estimated that there are only between 10,000- 15,000 humpback whales worldwide. It is very important that we protect this amazing creature by joining an environmental group such as WWF or Greenpeace and by writing letters to the governments of countries to ask them to bring harsher penalties for whalers.
