the birds and study them. That was an interesting place for all of us. But things have begun to change in recent years. Small birds ____________ (catch) with nets. Wild ducks ____________ (sell) at food markets. Fish and snakes ____________ (kill) for food in restaurants. And even worse, the wetland ______________ (destroy). Some part______________(cover) with new houses. You can see rubbish everywhere. The wetland _____________ (pollute) seriously every day. I am very woried about it.
