Period 1 Warming Up & Reading(1)
In many countries today laws protect wildlife.In India the need for such protection was realized centuries ago.
About 300 B.C.an Indian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today.The game of killing beasts was carefully supervised(管理).
The need for wildlife protection is even greater now than before.About a thousand kinds of animals are in danger of extinction,and the rate(速度)at which they are being destroyed has increased.With mammals(哺乳动物),for example,the rate of extinction is now about one kind every year;from A.D.1 to 1800,the rate was about one kind every fifty years.Everywhere,men are trying to solve the problem of protecting wildlife while caring for the world's growing population.
