Animals problems
The animals are all endangered. In most cases, I think humans are causing them to disappear by hunting them or by destroying their habitats, such as cutting down the forestswhere they live.
Polar Bears
The polar bear is an endangered species in Russia. It is a member of the bear family. It lives in the Artic region around the North Pole, which covers five countries: Russia, the United States( Alaska), Canada, Greenland, and Norway. It lives and hunts on the ice surrounding the North Pole. In Russia, polar bears can be found in Siberia. There are about 20,000 in the world still in the wild. Polar bears are endangered because their habitat is melting. In addition, they are under threat from illegal hunters who kill them for their valuable furs. Canada, the USA, Denmark, Norway and Russia have signed an agreement to protect them and their habitat.
Adopting animals
1 When you adopt an animal you donate money to the zoo every month. 2 Your support helps the zoo pay for the things the animal needs like food and the cleaning of its enclosure and helps the zoo continue their conservation programmes. 3 When you adopt an animal you get an adoption certificate, and a ticket which allows you to visit the zoo whenever you like.
A letter about expedition adventures
Dear Ann, I hope you are well. The expedition is amazing. You won’ t believe what I saw today. We were walking through the jungle this morning when Professor Summerlee pointed to a large mark on the ground. It was a giant footprint. Then we heard loud noises coming from the bushes and went to investigate. I couldn’ t believe my eyes. There was a group of huge reptile type animals; two adults and three young. They were enormous and looked like something I have never seen in my life. They were as tall as trees and seemed to have the strength of several elephants. We watched them for a few minutes and then they left. I know you will find it difficult to believe but I think they are prehistoric. I’ ll tell you more when I get back. Yours, Paul
