What can we learn?
Let’s share the valuable things we have learnt:
1)The wild animals are being killed or hunted without mercy. And they are dying out / endangered.
2) Appreciate / realize how the animals in the rain forest live together. Human beings have to depend on wildlife for survival.
No wild plants , no wild animals.
No wildlife , no human race.
3)The wildlife is worth protecting. It is high time that we protected the wild animals.
Looking after the rain forest helps wildlife protection because it is the place where wildlife lives. It also contains many medicine and drugs that we do not know. These drugs may save lives.
Looking after the rain forest will give all the wildlife good living conditions(环境) and it keeps the balance of nature there .
Protecting wildlife means protecting ourselves.
Let’s live in harmony/peace with the wildlife.
What does the sentence “No rain forest, no animals, no drugs.” mean?
