How to protect the endangered animals?

Animals are our friends. How to protect endangered animals?

27

First, our government is working to protect all animals in danger, and has

made lots of plans to save endangered animals. On the other hand, we shouldn’t eat

wild animals. We should keep them away from our dinner.

That way, there will not be wild animals on sale. I think the hunters and

killers will become fewer and fewer. Last, we should protect the environment. We

should give them fresh water to drink. We should stop people from cutting too many

trees down. Without trees, wild animals will lose their home. And we will lose our

animal friends.

All of us should try our best toprotect wild animals.
