3. What can be done to protect animals in danger?
4. What are the advantages and disadvantages of national parks?

1.   Nowadays more and more plants and animal species are becoming extinct. First of all, many animals find it difficult to survive as their natural habitat is being destroyed by growing cities. The earth forested areas are in danger of disappearing completely as trees are burnt or cut down. Increased fishing, water, air and land pollution contribute to the extinction of many species as well. Thirdly,  illegal hunting threatens some rare species to become extinct. This process can be controlled if we protect animals in danger by law.However, some endangered species are difficult to protect, for example, wolves or crocodiles.

     3.   Furthermore, to save rare animals governments should introduce harsher punishment for illegal hunters            and raise public awarenesss about endangered species. We should also plant more forests and create            more national parks where endangered species will have a better chance of survival.
