Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted, illegally, for their valuable fur. The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make profits. Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built. In order to save this species from extinction, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains. The measures were effective.  The threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared. 13 Reduce hunting Build reserves Make laws to protect them.

Firstly, we should work hard to know some knowledge of the protection of wild animals. Secondly, we should protect the environment and save energy. Thirdly, we should spread the importance and knowledge of the protection of the wild animals. If a thing is worth doing it is worth worth doing well Humans all around the world need to set aside differences, speak with one voice and act as one global community. Everyone should have great faith that we can turn the tide against the illegal wildlife hunting and trade through our actions. Let’s turn goodwill of wildlife protection into action, to live in harmony with every species, the nature, and our common home. —— adapted from Prince William’s speech on wildlife protection The writer says that we must change our way of life and learn to live in harmony with nature in order to save our planet.
