Summary
请根据以下的说明，使用5个句子表达

What must be done if wildlife
protection is to succeed?
Group work
It is our duty to protect wildlife so
I think…
Why are they in danger of disappearing?
Being eaten
being hunted by people
rivers being polluted
lacking in food
….
trees being cut down
It is our duty to protect wildlife so I think we shouldn’t hunt or kill them unlimitedly and instead we should treat them as good friends. In order to live in harmony with them, we should protect our environment around us, especially their habitats. Moreover, it is suggested that we should build reserve areas to protect them. We should make sure that they have enough food to eat and if necessary, we ought to raise money to protect the endangered animals. To sum up, I think it is a must to raise our awareness of wildlife protection.
Only if we care will we help.
Only if we help shall all of us be saved.
