The dodo birds first became rare and then extinct. The last dodo bird was killed in 1681. Loss of homes: We cut down forest for farming. We cut down trees to build houses.

A giant panda can grow up to 1.5 meters tall and weigh up to 160kg. People think the giant panda is very lovely. ①So it is not surprising that the World Wide Fund for Nature chose the giant panda as its symbol. The WWF tells people about animals that are in danger and raises money to save them. The giant panda only lives in the wild in China. In the early 1980s, there were only 1,000 left in the wild. The main reason why pandas are endangered is that the area where panda can live has become smaller. The WWF works to help giant pandas in the wild in many ways. One of the ways is to increase the size of panda reserves（自然保护区）. Some reserves need to be joined together by planting bamboo between them to make “corridors”. These are paths that lead from one reserve to another. No one may harm the pandas in these areas. The corridors let pandas move from one habitat（栖息地）to another to look for food. ②People are working very hard to make sure the giant panda does not die out. 1.
