Animal conservation
Many animal and plant species have become extinct and many more are in critical danger.Finding ways to protect the earth's wildlife and conserve the natural world they inhabit(居住)is now more important than ever.
Dodos
The Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth's biology.The flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.It lived off fruit fallen from the island's trees and lived unthreatened until humans arrived in 1505.The easily controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the Island by humans such as pigs, monkeys and rats.The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681.
Rhinos
The Rhino(犀牛)horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine.This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat.Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia，most Rhinos now live in protected natural parks and reserves(保护区)．Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years，and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers(偷袭者)．
The Giant Panda
The future of the World Wildlife Fund's symbol is far from certain.As few as 1，600 pandas remain in the wild.The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals and made poaching them punishable with 20 years in prison.However，the panda's distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose(造成)one of the most serious threats to the animal's continued existence.
Whales
The International Whaling Commission is fighting to ensure the survival of the whale species.Despite the fact that one－third of the world's oceans have been declared the whale sanctuaries(保护区).7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered.Hunted for their rich supply of oil，their numbers have decreased to just 300.Collisions with ships，poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.
Tigers
The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5，000 and 7，000 and The Bali，Javan，and Caspian tigers are already extinct.The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing，with only 20 to 30 still alive.Like the Rhino horn，tigers' bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines.These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.

Here are some top tips for world travelers.
Travel light.1. It’s no fun carrying a huge bag around a foreign city.Don’t take too many clothes and avoid heavy books and electrical equipment.
2. Always keep your passport on you in an inside pocket or special travel belt.There may be thieves about.It’s a good idea to make a photocopy(复印件)of your passport and travel documents.
Transport sense.Don’t let go of your bags on the train.3. There are always thieves on public transport.If you want to sleep,tie your bag to your arm.When you take a taxi,it’s a good idea to ask for the driver’s permit.Many foreigners pay too much money because they take unofficial taxis.
Keep clean.It’s a good idea to wear dark clothes because they hide the dirt while white clothes attract it!Make sure you have plenty of clean underclothes and deodorant(除臭剂).4.
5. You should always be polite and respectful towards the locals.Even if you find their habits and behaviour a bit strange,you shouldn’t show your feelings.Remember,you’re their guest.
A.Be polite.
B.Keep your documents safe.
C.You should carry a spare bag.
D.You don’t want to smell bad!
E.Keep them with you at all times.
F.Make sure your bag isn’t too heavy.
