What problems are some wild animals in
China facing?
What has China done to solve the problem?
How have things changed since China took
action to protect wild animals?
Example
• The problem the pandas face in China is that
they do not have enough food because of the
loss of bamboo growing areas.
• To solve this problem, China has set up a
protection zone in Sichuan Province for the
pandas. It is called Wolong Nature Reserve.
Thanks to the effort, things have changed for
the better.
• The number of pandas has risen from very
few to around 1,600 after the growth of
bamboo areas for the pandas.

Comprehending exercise 1
1. Why has the antelope in Tibet become an
endangered species?
Its fur is being used to make sweaters. As the
sweaters become popular, more and more
animals are killed . So very few antelopes are
left.
2. Why are elephant numbers increasing in
Zimbabwe?
The farmers stopped killing the elephants, so the
numbers increased.
3. How does the government of Zimbabwe help
protect wild animals?
The government helps the farmers. It makes sure that
the tour companies pay the farmers when tourists
come to visit and hunt a few animals.
4. Why is it important to protect the rainforest?
Looking after the rainforest helps protect
plants and animals we know nothing about.
They may make it possible for us to produce
medicines and drugs that we don’t yet know
about.
