It is one of the world’s most important wetlands. The area offers food and home to wildlife. It is a wonderful home for different kinds of plants, fish and birds. Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, but some only stay for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can eat food. Zhalong Nature Reserve is an important living area for red-crowned cranes. They are rare with less than 3,000 in the whole world. Some of them live in Zhalong. Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. I think that’s really bad because there will be less and less space for wildlife. More and more birds are facing danger because they do not have enough living space. Many of them are dying. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds, so they can be safe in Zhalong. Every year a lot of visitors go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year, members of the Bird-watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong and the changes of their numbers. The study will begin next month. We do a bird count once a year. We need more people to help us count and do something to help birds. Many people do not know the importance of the wetlands. We hope this information will help them understand it and make them take action to protect wildlife. ( )1. What does the underlined word “rare” in Paragraph 2 mean?

[C] To ask more visitors to visit Zhalong Nature Reserve.
