Because of some organs from animals has the prominent economic value, thus become a subject of human plunder use, become the main factor of extinct animals. Crocodile with sharp teeth, and huge appetite for food, we all said the crocodile, but more afraid of human, the crocodile in the eyes of human, the crocodile can be made into the luggage, handbags, wallets, shoes and other goods, so the crocodile, has now become almost extinct animals.

Animal friends, a lot of destruction of human will have serious adverse consequences, ecological environment caused by serious imbalance, so that the human living environment is destroyed. Eliminate animal, is to eliminate human oneself, if one day the animals in the world are gone, that human can survive? To protect animals, cherish this nature of every creature! Let us start from now, starts from me, to protect the animals, make the world a better place! To protect animals, is to protect human oneself.

现在，有些动物已经灭绝了，就拿快要灭绝的鳄鱼来说，虽然很凶猛，但人类更凶猛。就是因为有些动物身上的器官具有突出的经济价值，由此成为被人类掠夺利用的对象，成为动物灭绝的主要因素。鳄鱼长着锐利的牙齿，和硕大的食物胃口，我们都说鳄鱼可怕，但鳄鱼更怕人类，在人类的眼中，鳄鱼皮可以制成行李箱，手提包，钱包，鞋等物品，所以鳄鱼，现在已经成为快要灭绝的动物了。

The national level protection animal giant panda, have you ever seen giant pandas? Come and see! The following is a lovely giant panda, see how delicious it eats! The smile is so lovely.

You said, why so little panda, it is because of the destruction of the human disorderly cut down trees, dont take care of flowers and plants, destruction of the atmosphere, to lead to a drop in the panda, so we have to take care of the panda, the giant panda is herbivorous animals know, likes eating bamboo, but not as the giant pandas in the zoo keepers to feed their fruit. Wild panda anecdotes: in recent years, scientists found hidden cameras, male wild pandas left a breath marks on a tree, will lift a leg, like a male dog, and then the urine to the heights of the tree and. The higher the urine, the higher the social status of the male giant panda. Good play! Just like a dog! This is fun. Ax mountain in north of the city, we established a lush bamboo sea and the forest, form different from downtown chengdu "microclimate", in 1987, formally completed, now has developed into a specialized in endangered wildlife research and breeding, protection of education and education tourism, a nonprofit organization.

Do you know how pandas digest bamboo? Researchers have found that the giant pandas digestive tract is short and simple, and there is no such thing as a long, plant-eating animal with a thin gut and a complex stomach or a developed cecum. In addition, the giant pandas genome sequences announced in 2009, after they found the giant panda to the lack of some help in the digestive tract herbivores digest cellulose and hemicellulose (they are the main components of the fibrous plant diet) enzymes. This is confusing for researchers, and how does the lack of these necessary conditions digest bamboo?

Researchers use of gene sequencing technology, analysis of more than 5000 ribosomal RNA sequences, eventually in the giant panda, found a variety of digestive tract bacteria and some microbes are very similar to grazing animals. These help animals digest cellulose in their bodies, and seven of them are unique to the pandas digestive tract. Bye bye!

Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment。 There were few people on the earth， and natural resources seemed to be unlimited。Today things are different。 The world has bee too crowded。 We are using up our natural resources，and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals。 If we continue to do this， human life on earth will not survive。 We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea， there will soon be none left。 Yet，with modern fishing methods， more and more fish are caught。We know that if too many trees are cut down， forests will disappear。 Yet， we continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees。 We see that if rivers are polluted with waste products， we will die。 Yet， waste products are still put into rivers。

过去，人们不必担心保护环境的问题。因为那时地球上人口稀少，自然资源似乎取之不尽。如今，一切都改变了。世界变得拥挤异常。我们正在耗尽我们的自然资源，有毒化学制品的使用也正污染着环境。如果我们继续这样下去，地球上的生命将不复存在。我们都明白如果从海里捕捉太多的鱼，海里就不会再有鱼了。可是，现代化的捕鱼技术使得捕鱼量越来越大。我们都明白如果砍伐太多的树木，森林就会消失。可是，我们仍旧使用强大的机械砍伐越来越多的树木。我们都明白如果河水被废弃物污染的话，我们仅有死路一条。可是废弃物仍然源源不断地进入河里。

We know that if the population continues to rise at the present rate， in a few years， there won＇t be enough food。What can we do to solve these problems?If we eat more vegetables and less meat， there will be more food available。 Land for crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are kept。Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycie them。The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control。

我们明白，人口继续照此刻这个速度增长的话，不出几年，就会发生食物短缺。我们该如何解决这些问题呢?如果我们多吃蔬菜，少吃肉类的话，我们就会有更多的食物。因为同样大小的土地如果种庄稼的话会比养殖动物多养活五倍多的人。如果我们学会再利用的话，自然资源就能持续更久。如果人们使用现代化的生育控制方法，世界人口就不会增长如此迅猛。

Finally， if we educate people to think about the problems we shall have a better and cleaner planet in the future。

最终，如果我们能够教育人们都意识到这些问题的话，未来我们就会有一个更好、更洁净的星球。

Many animals are in danger of dying out.As is shown in the chart， we can see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will continue.From 1980 to 2010， at least 1 million animal species have disappeared.Worse still， more and more wild animals are in great danger.It is not a piece of sensational news; it is a fact， a harsh reality.Unfortunately， we may not see these animals in the near future。

From the second picture， we can find some reasons.Why is the number of animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have bee victims of fashion industry.Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and these clothes sell at a high price.So some greedy people begin to kill animals in a large quantity.This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings。

As far as I am concerned， something must be done to stop this illegal action.We believe "no buying， no killing".First， we must make concerning laws to protect these animals in danger.Second， we must take some measures to protect animals effectively.Animals are our friends and part of our environment.Third， we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and our environment.In this way， we can build a harmonious society and ensure a sustainable development。

Health is most important for any of us. ]n order to stay healthy, we need some common knowledge.

First]y, pay attention to the diet. We should eat lots of fruit and vegetables, because they are rich in fiber and Iow in fat. As a proverb says, An apple a day keeps the doctor away. So fruit is good for health. Dont have a lot of food that contains too much fat, such as butter. Meanwhile, sweets should be eaten in proper quantity, because too much sugar does harm to us. Dont drink too much coffee,either

Secondly, exercise is necessary. Regular exercise can help us keep from getting fat. People who do running every day usually have stronger hearts than who dont.

Finally, form good living habits. We should sleep for about 8 hours at night,and never work too hard. Over work and little sleep will lead to illness. Whats more, stay away from cigarettes.

These are the things we should pay attention to so as to stay healthy.

The movie Kung Fu Panda looks like a kung-fu novel, in accordance with Chinese-style plot development. It is mainly about a fat pandas dream to become a master of kung fu, and a coincidental let that dream become a reality. Of course, Po (the panda) has gone through a series of twists and turns before reaching success.

Impressed me most is a series of Chinese elements in the film, from the name we can know it is the film for Chinese - kung fu and panda. It is not just kung fu and panda. There are other Chinese elements in it. Such as the Chinese mandarin, the Chinese house, acupuncture, erhu, calligraphy and so on.

Of course, that it can become North Americas box office leader and could attract foreigners are not only those causes. In this film, everywhere is full of philosophical dialogues. The turtle said "There are no accidents." Pos father, described in the mysterious soup, said "To make something special, you just have to believe its special." That I like the most is "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why its called the present." It tells us to make good use of today.

2008 is a Chinese year, Kung Fu Panda also allow international friends to learn more about Chinese culture and connotation.

My hometown is in Gansu Lixian, there are many mountains.

In the distance, the mountains look like a green planet surrounded by forests. The stone on the mountain dressed the mountain as a world of stone.

The trees grow more luxuriantly in summer and dress up as green cashmere. The mountain terraces like people walking the steps, also like the mountains in Grandpa smile.

The mountain became a yellow world in autumn, and the fruits and crops were ripe, and the mountain was like a magician, constantly changing crops and fruits for human beings.

In winter the mountains covered with a white dress, like an angel, in the fog, the mountains like a bottomless mountain, no matter how you cant see the mountain bottom.

This is the mountain of my hometown all the year round, I love it.

Animals Need Protecting

Everyone knows animals are our friends。 So we should be friendly to them。 But some people kill the rare animals， such as pandas， golden monkeys and so on in order to get money。 It will cause these animals to disappear soon。 I think our government should punish those people severely who kill the rare animals。 It is our duty to protect the endangered animals。

Water is indispensable to our life and the development of national economy. It is often described as the source of all living things and the lifeblood of agriculture and industry. Without it, nothing could grow and out world would become a terrible desert.

The world we live in is now faced with a severe shortage of fresh water. According to some official figures, more than 1,700 million people in the world dont have enough clear water to drink and over 25 thousand people die of water related diseases daily.

So, all of us should actively b save water. Its our obligation for the benefit of the future generations.

According to my collection to a report said:"the environment problem is due to human is not reasonable to develop and make use of the natural source caused by environmental problems.Red main air pollution,water pollution,noise pollution,food contamination,not suitable development and utilization of natural resources it five categories." As one of the fact that we iron,they are like a demon ruthless swallowed with human life.It threatens the ecological balance,the harm to human health,and restricts the sustainable development of economy and society,it lets the human was in trouble.For this I make declared:"as long as we have not forgotten--human moment of the environmental protection consciousness,have the consciousness of the environment according to law,the global village will be beautiful paradise".The future of the sky of dark blue must be,water is clear,the green flowers,can enjoy the human nature with our happiness.

"The real test our environment is not words,but action contribution." Although I do is just some small things,but I firmly believe that if we all have the responsibility to protect the environment,from oneself,starts from the minor matter,starts to protect our homes,to human nature will be rewarded.In the cradle of warm-a prairie; In the smiling face of the kind-growth,source of love-bathing in the river

据我收集到的一份报告说:“环境问题是由于人类不合理开发和利用自然源所造成的环境问题。红主要空气污染、水污染、噪声污染、食品污染、不适当开发利用自然资源这五大类。“我们铁的事实,他们就像一个魔鬼无情的吞噬着人类的生命。它威胁着生态平衡,危害人类健康、制约经济和社会的可持续发展,它让人类陷入了困境。为此我宣称:“只要我们不忘记,人类的环境保护意识,依法环境的意识,地球村将美丽的天堂”。深蓝色的天空的未来是必须的,水是明确的,绿色的花,可以享受人性与我们的幸福。

“真正的考验我们的环境是没有话说,但是行动贡献。“虽然我做的只是一些小事,但我坚信,如果我们都有责任保护环境,从自己做起,从小事做起,开始保护我们的家园,人类自然会得到回报。在暖和的摇篮草原;kind-growth的笑脸,在河里love-bathing来源

The giant panda is known as the national treasure of China。 The panda was a kind of ordinary animal in China long ago。 However， for some reasons， too many of them have been killed。 So the number of them is falling quickly。

At present people are taking an important measure to save pandas。 People want to find a home for them， and recently， they have set up a nature park for them in Sichuan Province，which is called "Pandas Home。 "There pandas can enjoy their life happily。 There is a bamboo forest near the Pandas Home。 So the pandas can find bamboos easily which they like to eat very much。

Because pandas are well protected now， the number of them is increasing every year。 We hope that one day we will have enough pandas to set them free and let them live in the wild again。

Pandas are good friends of man。 Man should try to protect them and ]et them live in the way they like!

"大熊猫"这个词对于大家一定不陌生，大熊猫是我国的国宝，它除了有大熊猫这个名称以外，还叫竹熊和花熊，它分布于我国的四川、陕西、甘肃局部地区。

大熊猫憨厚可爱，性情温顺，体长120-180厘米，尾长10-20厘米，体重60-110千克，躯干和尾是白色，两耳、眼周、四肢和肩胛部全是黑色，腹部淡棕色或灰黑色。主要以竹笋、竹叶为食，偶尔也捕食小动物。

要问我最喜欢地动物是什么?当然是大熊猫它那憨厚可爱的样子真让人忍不住去模一下。奥运五环中有一个黑色的圈，那个黑色的圈代表的就是大熊猫，叫晶晶。

为什么我要克隆大熊猫?大熊猫又不是不会繁殖?这是因为大熊猫正面临灭绝。目前全世界的大熊猫总数在一千只左右，而且数量还在不断减少，根据科学统计，有78%的雌性大熊猫不孕，有90%的雄性大熊猫不育，所以这便给大熊猫的繁殖带来了不小的困难。一千只左右，这是一个多么渺小的数字，而全世界的大熊猫的总数就在处于这个渺小的数字!

看着心爱的大熊猫马上就要从这个世界消失，我们的心难道不痛吗?

假如我会克隆，我要克隆许许多多的大熊猫，不让大熊猫灭绝，让大熊猫继续生活在这个美妙的世界，多一个大熊猫，在世界，就多了一份可爱与色彩。

所以，让我们联合起来，保护大熊猫让这个世界上多一条小生命!

[关于保护熊猫作文

Animals and human beings, we have thought, have feelings, also have their own way of life, more freedom.

We should not to destroy their peaceful and harmonious life, we have no right to destroy their life, of course, there is no reason to blame hurt them more.

Whenever we place series of delicious food on the table, such as: snakes, frogs, and other animals. Should we think of it, each of us to eat a kind of animal, how much is to go to farmers for banker harmful insects. We are not should the perspective-taking once, they are in a concerted effort to catch insects, can human beings not only ungrateful, instead put them as their food, as we human beings every day to make money, how they are evil!

Today, many of the earths biological already very rare, even have already endangered! If there are no animals on the earth, the earth will become what kind, humans will become like?

I think its time for us human to reflect, if continue like this, we will be the enemy of the animals, more dont talk about what "dances with wolves"

Human, hurry up wake up! Protect wild animals, now, still in time!

动物与我们人类一样，有思想，有感情，也有它们自己的生活方式，更有自由权。

我们不应该去破坏他们安详和谐的生活，我们也无权去破坏他们的生活，当然，更没有理由去指责伤害他们。

每当我们的饭桌旁摆上一道道香喷喷的菜，比如：蛇、青蛙、等动物。我们是不是应该想一想，我们每吃一种动物，就等于放走了多少对农民对庄家有害的虫。我们更是不是也应该换位思考一下，它们都在齐心协力的抓害虫，可人类不但不领情，反而把它们当做他们的食物，当作我们人类每天赚钱的东西，他们是多么可恶呀!

如今，地球上的许多生物已经很罕见了，甚至有的已经濒临灭绝了!如果地球上没有了动物，地球将会变成什么样，人类又将会变成什么样?

我想，是我们人类好好反省的时候了，如果再这样下去的话，我们将会成为动物们的敌人了，更别谈什么“与狼共舞”

人类，快点醒醒吧!保护野生动物，现在开始，还来得及!

Today I am very glad here to share my opinionsabout the protection of environment.

With the development ofscience and technology ,different kinds of pollution has been produced andcaused global concern recently.

As we know, people have beenliving on the earth for thousands of years, human activity damaged natural environment, such as excessive abuse of natural resources ,the sewage dischargedfrom factories ,the animal slaughter ,kinds of chemical fertilizers andgreen-house effect. All that is mentioned above has a bad impact on the eco-system .Now, many animals aredying out. We are suffering from unhealthy food and water, we are faced withharmful rays and global warming. It was ourselves who had made a series oftroubles. As you can see, we are the final victim.

Above all, if we human beings cannot recognize theseserious problems and try our best to solve them soon, we would finally lose theenvironment suitable for us to live. So, it is our duty to protect theenvironment ,but what should we do to protect it?

In my opinion, the first and important thing is tounite all forces ,that is to say---gather all hearts together. Next we shouldprotect and plant more trees, which can dispose of the dust in the air. As forfamilies, it is effective to ride bicycles rather than drive cars. Don’t litteranywhere as you like. In addition, sorting and recycling the rubbish also playan essential role in the protection of our earth. We’d better call on everyone aroundus to lead a low-carbon life, as it may make a difference to the environment.

Thus, it’s high time that we did something to improveour surroundings. Everybody should raise the awareness to protect our motherearth. Let’s appeal to more people to join us.

All in all ,there’s no doubt that keeping the balanceof human and nature ,we will benefit a lot.

Thank you for listening！

导语：近年来,环境保护仍存在许多问题。其中最严重的问题之一是空气、水和土壤的严重污染。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people s health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities.

To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

【参考译文】

近年来,环境保护仍存在许多问题。其中最严重的问题之一是空气、水和土壤的严重污染。污染的空气对人体健康有害。污染的水导致疾病和死亡。此外,随着现代城市的快速发展,植被已大大减少。

为了保护环境,许多国家的政府做了很多。已采取立法步骤控制空气污染,保护森林和海洋资源,制止任何环境污染。因此,政府在今天的环境保护中发挥着最重要的作用。

我认为,要保护环境,政府必须采取更具体的措施。首先,它应该让人们通过教育充分认识到环境保护的重要性。第二,应该更加努力使人口规划政策付诸实践,因为更多的人意味着更多的人意味着更多的污染。最后,故意破坏环境的人应该受到严惩。我们应该让他们知道破坏环境意味着毁灭人类自己。

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to

their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in

red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for

breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old

and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot

from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour)

on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one

year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good

time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange

greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival

almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.
