unit 6 Animals

Another big problem is the destruction of the rainforests. This is removing the habitat of many animals, like these gorillas, birds and plants. The number of animals in some species is now very small and they may not exist at all for much longer.
The worldwide Fund for Nature is an international organization. It started in Britain in 1961 and has now got a global network in 90 countries. It looks at all aspects of conservation including animals, plants, foretry and control of pollution.
There are a number of projects in Britain which deal with endangered species. Here at Port Lympne Animal Park there are elephants, lions, African hunting dogs and many others.
In this safe environment animals can breed-produce babies-and so icreade the numbers. The animals are then put back into their natural wild habitat.
