Today the danger to our natural world is growing every day . Modern life is not suitable for many species of animals. The air is not fresh and the water is not clean. They don’t often have good things to eat and space to live. Every day people destroy rainforests and when trees are cut down many animals lose their homes. We need to do something soon or else many creatures won’t survive.
For example, Indian tigers are in the Red Book now. People have hunted and killed many tigers in India. Some people killed them to save their domestic animals or their lives. And some people killed the tigers for fun or for their beautiful skin which they can easily sell at high prices. As a result, there are few Indian tigers on the Earth now. Many of them are old animals and most tigers hide from people in deep dark forests. And the question is: “Have these animals got a future?”
Helping endangered wildlife around the world requires global interventions that are not feasible for individuals. Therefore, entire organizations with worldwide recognition are being created, such as WWF, Greenpeace. With their help, it has become much easier to solve the problems of preserving the diversity of biological species of animals in the wild. A large number of reserves are being created, where animals will be protected. It is also necessary to reduce the scale of illegal hunting in the near future, because today the problem has become truly serious.
Such an important and global goal as the conservation of rare and endangered animals, to the extent necessary for its implementation, requires the intervention of the maximum number of people. Therefore, if people begin to think more about whether their descendants will inherit something, it may then be possible to preserve a little more part of the living world. Even a small donation or the simplest volunteer work is another step towards restoring natural resources.
Коала The koala is a familiar Australian symbol. Koalas have soft, wool-like grey fur. They have a large, round head with large, round, furry ears, a large nose and long strong limbs with sharp claws. The koala look like little bear, but the koala ‘bear’ is not a bear at all. Koala is a marsupial mammal. Eucalyptus trees are the primary habitat of Koalas and they are rarely observed anywhere else. Koalas are very fussy. Koalas eat only leaves and bark from eucalyptus trees. Koalas get a lot of moisture from eucalyptus leaves, so they don’t have to drink a lot of water, because in Aboriginal language, the word Koala is thought to mean "does not drink". Koalas vary in size and colour depending on where they live in Australia. A baby Koala is called a joey. Joeys are only around 2 cm long when born and like most other marsupials, Koala mothers keep their joeys in their pouch for around 6 months.
Koalas can live up to 10 years in the wild. In the 20th, century population of koalas declined to such an extent that they were included in the endangered animals list.
