THE ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS REPORT:
Are we doing enough to protect animals?
Animal species are disappearing from our planet fast. Scientists believe that 50 animal species are being e.g. wiped under/out in the wild every day. This happens because they lose their natural habitats/dangers. Some say that the only way to protect /pollute endangered animals is to place them in a zoo. They claim that zoos keep the animals safe from harm and help stop/increase their numbers.
On the other hand, other people say that zoos can’t join/replace an animal’s natural habitat. That’s why we need to focus on protecting their natural environments in the wild.
In my opinion, it is difficult to say what is best for our animal friends. I believe that more work should be done to protect animals’ natural habitats. If we all lend a hand/foot, we can work wonders!
