Perhaps the most famous rare（珍稀）animal is the panda. Twenty years ago it was nearly extinct（滅絕的）. Now, its numbers are growing again. It is even a symbol for wildlife conservation（保存，保護）. But many other species have not been as lucky as the panda. Some are already extinct. Today, many more are in serious danger. This is because man hunts them and destroys their habitat. Is it too late to save wildlife?
A serious habitat problem arises（出現）because of pollution or opening new lands. Habitants take many years to grow again. When the wild animals lose their homes, the natural balance is also changed. If one animal, bird, or insect disappears, all the others suffer, too.
This is what is happening in the forests of South America. Africa and Asia. Habitats and animals are disappearing in Europe, too. Since 1947 in Britain, for example, 50% of the woods, low wet land, and 95% of meadows have disappeared. And what has taken the place of these green, natural places? Houses, farms, cities, streets, roads, and factories. Because of this (and pollution too) several British species are dying.
Then, what is the solution? There is only one way to save wild animals and wild habitats---conservation. This means man should protect animals in danger by establishing law, opening more national parks, building fewer new roads, planting more forests, and cutting pollution. If not, many wild animals will soon have just one habitat---the zoo!
