一、短文阅读
Cheetahs, the world's fastest animals, died out in India over 70 years ago. Now a new project is trying to bring cheetahs back to India. Eight of the animals were set free in Kuno National Park in September 2022.
By 1952, cheetahs had died out in this country. One of the main reasons was that people took away much of their natural land. Some people also killed cheetahs for their skins.

Since 1952, there have been efforts(努力) to return cheetahs to India. In 2022, that finally happened. In an event held on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 72nd birthday, eight cheetahs were set free. The cheetahs were a gift from Namibia's government.

These cheetahs aren't Asian cheetahs, but African cheetahs. There may be as few as 12 Asian cheetahs still living in the wild, and they live in Iran. But even the number of African cheetahs has been going down quickly. There are only about 8,000 left. Some scientists believe that getting cheetahs going in India again will help make sure that cheetahs don't die out completely.

“Project Cheetah” will cost India about $11 million over five years(20222027). The goal is to increase the number of cheetahs to 40 by 2030. A second group of 12 cheetahs was prepared by South Africa and has arrived.

Zhalong Nature Reserve(扎龙自然保护区) is in Heilongjiang Province in Northeast China. It is one of the world's most important wetlands. The area provides food and shelter for a lot of wildlife. It is a perfect place for some rare(稀罕的) birds.

Many birds live in Zhalong all year round, while some stay there for a short time. Most birds are active in the daytime, so you can easily watch them there. There are not many cranes(鹤) left in the world, and 40 per cent of them live in Zhalong.

Several years ago, some people wanted to change the wetlands in order to make more space for farms and buildings. This led to less space for wildlife. Moreover, fishermen kept fishing there. As a result, the birds did not have enough food. Now the Chinese government has made laws(法规) to stop all these activities in Zhalong.
