Project

Wild animals have to look after themselves. They need food, a good environment and safety. If their habitat is threatened or they can't find enough food, their numbers may decrease. As a result, these endangered animals may even die out. They need help!

To save endangered wildlife, people would have to reduce environmental pollution and set up nature reserves to provide a better environment. Also they need to decrease or even prohibit hunting.

First listen to this podcast about the return of Milu Deer. Then discuss in English:what are the reasons for disappearance; how they returned; what is their present situation and value of cooperation.

Then work in groups of 4 to find other endangered aniamls in:China, the world. You can use Baidu Wenku, Google Docs or Slideshare to search. You can even go to the zoo to have a real-life experience. Consider the following questions: Do people take measures to protect them? If so, what do they do and how is that going? If not, could you think of ways to solve them. (You can report your result in any form you like, texts, images, PPT, podcast, vodcast or screencast.) Or if you have been involved in some activities aimed at protecting the animals, present it to us.
