保护濒危动物的英语短文【汇总20篇】

Marine lives in fish and all kinds of chemical substances,is very important for human.But many people like throwgarbage into the sea,the sea will pollution.Cause fishdeath,water depletion.We should keep our environment,to protect the beautiful sea.

海洋里生存着鱼和各种化学物质,对人类很重要.但是许多人类喜欢向海里投垃圾,海水就会污染.导致鱼儿死亡,海水枯竭.我们应该保持环境,一起保护美丽的大海.

There are still many environmental problems in recent years.One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil.The polluted air is very damaging to peoples health.Polluted water causes diseases and deaths.More importantly, the vegetation has been greatly reduced, with the rapid growth of modern cities.

In order to protect the environment, many governments have done a lot of work.Introduced legislation to control air pollution, protect forest resources and Marine resources, and stop any environmental pollution.Governments, therefore, are playing the most important role of environmental protection today.

I think the government must take more concrete measures to protect the environment.First, the government should make the people fully aware of the importance of environmental protection through education.Second, more efforts should be made to implement policies on population planning, because more people mean more people mean more pollution.Finally, those who intentionally destroy who should be severely punished.We should let them know that destroying the environment means destroying humanity itself.

【翻译】

仍然有很多环保问题在近几年。最严重的问题之一是空气，水和土壤的严重污染。污染的空气严重损害人们的健康。污染的水引起的疾病和死亡。更重要的是，植被已大大减少，随着现代城市的快速增长。

为了保护环境，许多国家的政府都做了很多工作。介绍了立法措施控制空气污染，保护森林资源和海洋资源，制止任何环境污染。因此，各国政府正在发挥环保今天最重要的作用。

我认为，为了保护环境，政府必须采取更具体的措施。首先，政府应该让人民充分认识到环境保护的重要性，通过教育。第二，更应努力把人口规划实施的政策，因为更多的人意味着更多的人意味着更多的污染。最后，那些故意破坏谁应该受到严厉惩罚的环境。我们应该让他们知道，破坏环境就是毁灭人类自己。

Panda is one of the scarcest animals. People in the world like it very much. there used to be many pandas in China long ago. As the balance of nature was destroyed and the weather was getting warmer and warmer, pandas became less. But at present, the number of pandas is increasing year by year. there are now so many pandas that some are being sent to other countries so that people there can enjoy them.

Nowadays, the biggest nature park for panda in China is in Sichuan. there is a research centre for nature and wild life there. Scientists hope that one day they will have enough pandas to be set free and let them live in the wild again.

Serious Floods

The Yangzte River is the longest river in China. And its important and helpful to us Chinese. But these days the Yangtze River is bringing us serious floods.

Many villages were destroyed by floods. The floods made hundreds of millions of people lose their homes, relatives and friends. Many children cant go to school as usual .Now the foods have drawn the attention of the whole world. People from abroad have offered their help too. In China, millions of soldiers are busy fighting against the floods. They are working very hard. Many of them have lost their lives in their attempt to save the villagers.

Though we cant help them to fight against floods, we should help them to rebuild their homeland. We can present them our pocketmoney and clothes. I believe most of the people will return to their homeland in the near future.

严重的水灾

长江是中国最长的河流。它对我们中国人十分重要。但现在长江给我们带来了严重的水灾。

许多村庄被洪水冲毁于。洪水使成千上万的人失去了家园，亲戚和朋友。许多孩子不能与平常——样去学校了。现在洪水引起了全球的注意。国外的人也给予了援助。在中国，上百万的战士忙于与洪水搏斗。他们努力工作，许多人在救村民时献出了自己的生命。

尽管我们不能帮助他们抗洪，但我们可以帮他们重建家园。我们可以捐出零花钱和衣服。我相信在不久的将来大多数人会回到家乡。

“咩——咩——”在这个世界中，动物们都和平共处，可爱的山羊、忠厚老实的老牛、机灵的松鼠、改荤为素的狼、改邪归正的狐狸，它们经常一起玩，一起吃饭，甚至还住在一起，这个世界的人类非常和善，乐于助人，经常和动物打交道，所以，没有人吃肉，没有人杀戮。真是一个美好的世界，一个健康的世界，一个和平的世界啊！

现在这个世界，是一个臭名远扬的屠杀世界，所有动物都很凶残，就连平时跟你玩耍的小兔子，也开始食荤、杀戮。人类就更不用说了：他们嗜血、残暴，经常杀害动物，动不动就发起一场战争，闹得别人死得死，伤得伤，没有一天过得安稳，没有一天没有喊杀声，也没有一天能和平。

你们想将地球变成什么样？是和平的世界？还是杀戮的世界？不用说，你们肯定想把地球变成和平的世界吧！怎么才能把地球变成一个和平的世界呢？首先，同学们应该先做好自己，珍惜每一个生命：一只动物、一朵花、一棵树、一棵草。

和平不只是想像，只要每一个人做好自己，多关心野生动物，多保护野生动物，总有一天，我们人类和动物和平共处的梦想一定会实现的。

Our environment is getting worse and worse now.People throw their garbage here and there.Factories make more and more dirty water that has polluted the rivers and lakes.What should we do?We must find ways to stop pollution.Waste water must be cleaned before it is poured into the river.People shouldn‘t throw away rubbish here and there.We should pick up the garbage around us.We‘d better plant more trees.I‘m sure if we take care of our environment,our world will be more beautiful!

导语：很多东西都面临灭绝的危险，我们应该保护动物，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!

Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction, because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. For example, with the developmet of cities, the using of insecticide and serious pollution, their living areas have become narrowcr and narrower. Many of the wild animals, now are confronted with food crisis. At the same time, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, horns, teeth and meat.

In order to protect our resources of ecology, people should realize that the loss of any species is at least the loss of source of knowledge and a source of natural beauty. There fore, measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keepdown poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life, reserves.

Only if we human beings take some drastic measures can wild animals be preserved.

【参考译文】

许多野生动物正面临灭绝的危险，因为它们生活的环境已经发生了巨大的变化。例如，随着城市的发展，杀虫剂的使用和严重的污染，他们的生活区域变得越来越狭小。许多野生动物现在面临食物危机。同时，人类为了获取皮毛、皮肤、角、牙和肉而捕杀物种。

为了保护我们的生态资源，人们应该意识到任何物种的损失至少是知识的源泉和自然美的源泉。因此，本应采取以下措施：制订污染标准以降低有毒物质;严禁杀害某些稀有物种;应建立国家公园作为野生动物，保护区。

只有人类采取一些激烈的措施，野生动物才能被保存下来。

Protecting the Environment

In the last several decades, our earth has been extremely polluted, such as air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and so on. In recent years, the extreme weather becomes more and more frequent. Winter gets colder and summer becomes hotter and it rains more frequently. All of these warn us that protecting the environment is a serious and emergent event. As our general people, we should build proper lifestyle. We should pay attention to water and light saving. When we go out, we should firstly choose the public transportation. The most important is that we must realize that we can do a lot of things to protect our environment. Its our duty to make our home better. Let’s change from ourselves.

在过去的几十年里，我们的地球已经极度污染，比如大气污染，水污染以及噪音污染等等。近几年，极地气候越来越频繁。冬天越来越暖，夏天越来越热，还经常下雨。所有的这些都警示我们保护环境是一件严肃紧迫的事。作为普通老百姓，我们应该形成合适的生活方式。我们应该注意节约水电。出门的时候我们应该首选公共交通。最重要的是我们必须意识到我们可以做很多事情来保护我们的环境。使我们的家园变得更美好是我们的责任。让我们从自己开始改变。

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。

Let’s Do Something to save Our Environment

We all live on the earth. The earth is our home. We have only one earth. We must take care of it. It gives us the best environment. If we harm it, it will be angry. And then we will have a terrible end. There are three problems in our earth, they are pollution, disaster and illness.

It’s our duty to protect our environment. So we must plant more trees, protect the flowers and the trees, save energy, reduce the pollution. We should ask our government to control the pollution from the factories.

Protecting the nature is very important. It’s our duty to keep our environment clean and tidy.

If everyone makes a contribution to protecting the environment, the earth will become much more beautiful.

[关于保护环境的英语作文示例

Last Sunday my father and I went fishing along a river. We found the water so dirty that we could hardly catch fish in it.

A lot of factories along the river always poured their waste water and rubbish straight into the river which made the river water polluted. In this way most of the fish in the river were killed.

If the river water all over the country is polluted like this， no living things will exist in the water. As we all know， environmental pollution does great harm to living things and human beings. Now more and more people have come to realize how serious this problem is. Our government is doing her best to take measures to fight against pollution. We expect that the water in every river will be made cleaner and cleaner before long.

上个星期日我和爸爸一起去钓鱼。我们发现水太脏了，我们几乎不能在它的鱼。

沿着这条河的许多工厂总是把废水和垃圾倒进河里，使河水受到污染。这样，河里的大部分鱼都被杀死了。

如果这个国家的河水都被污染了，水里就不存在生物。我们都知道，环境污染对生物和人类都有很大的危害。现在越来越多的人开始意识到这个问题有多严重。我国政府正在尽最大努力采取措施打击污染。我们期望在每一条河流中的水将在长时间内变得更清洁，更清洁。

Tiger is one of the most valueable animals to human beings today. It is somehow like a cat, but much bigger than it. It lives in the forest, and feeds on small animals.

Nowadays, the number of the wild tiger is becoming small and small. Maybe there will be no tiger any more if people continue cutting the trees, destorying the living environment or hunt the tiger just for the skin. We must stop all these mistakes. We should protect them, because the world without tiger is not a completed one.

老虎是现在对人类最有价值的动物之一。它的外形有点像猫，但是比猫大很多。它生活在林中，以小动物为食。

现如今，野生老虎的数量越来越少。如果人类再不停止砍伐树木，不停止毁坏生存环境，不停止为虎皮而猎杀老虎，也许有一天老虎就会灭亡。我们必须终止这些错误。我们应该保护老虎，因为没有老虎的世界不是一个完整的世界。

June 23rd Sunday Sunny

It was a fine day today and the sun was bright. I visited Beijing Zoo with my classmate, He Song. The animals were so interesting that all the people loved them. When a bear asked for some food by waving its ann, a visitor threw something to it. At once I went up to him and said without thinking,Dont do that. Its bad for it. If you really love them, take good care of them. His face turned red and answered he wouldnt do that again.

今天是个风和日丽的好天，我和同学贺松去了北京动物园。动物们是那么可爱，大家都非常喜欢它们。一只熊挥动着胳膊向人们要吃的，一个游客就投进去了什么东西。我想都没想就走过去说：不要那样做。你的做法对它们没好处。如果真的喜欢它们，就应该爱护它们。他的脸红了，并且回答说他不会再那么做了。

[初一英语作文 爱护动物

I like dogs, because they are man’s good friends.

They can do many helpful things to us, such as guarding our houses, greeting guests, helping the police, and so on.

Some trained dogs can even lead the blind people and save people’s lives. So they‘re treated as our family members.

I hope someday dogs will be in great harmony with human-beings.

地球上的人类和许多动物都是地球母亲的儿女。地球好似一驾遨游太空的宇宙飞船，人类与许多动物共处在这个生态环境中。可我们人类占着自己高大、聪明，任意破坏动物们的居住环境，让它们无从生存。于是“珍惜地球，爱护动物”一时成了最热门的话题。

保护动物，是我们人人都要做到的，许多人任意去猎杀动物，虽然现在的人都说要保护动物，但是还有很多顽固的人不听，继续猎杀动物，人类拿动物来观赏、卖钱，用兽皮做大衣……

记得曾在网上看到一篇报道，以前，人们为了获得黑熊珍贵的胆汁，最简单的方法就是把黑熊杀死，然后取胆。可是现在，人们发明了一种活熊取胆的工具，把黑熊关起来并在腹部插上这个东西，就可以随时取胆了……

看见这些密密麻麻的文字，我的心痛了起来，这会让熊忍受多大的痛苦呀!而且还有些熊因为取胆的痛苦，变得有些精神失常，经常咬自己，有的熊就这样把自己的熊掌给咬坏了。我的眼前慢慢浮现出黑熊痛苦的声音，和那种痛苦的挣扎。他那可怜的眼神却并没有感动残忍的人类，人们依然享受黑熊带给他们的一切，依然麻木不仁的听着黑熊痛苦的尖叫。

我突然觉得很愤怒，人们不是常常说动物和人是平等的吗?不是说要好好保护动物，爱护动物吗?那为什么要等到事情总是到不可挽回的地步了才会后悔，难道真的要等到全世界的黑熊都被活活折磨死了才会反省吗?其实现在需要胆汁的人很少了，但是人们还是不停的取熊胆，不是为了一些无意义的某些产品，还是为了什么呢?动物并不属于人类，只属于大自然，它没有义务为我们服务，只是做我们的朋友罢了，既然是朋友那人类为什么还要伤害它呢?既然动物也是属于这片大自然的那它就有和我们一起生活的权利，难道欺负弱小是我们应该做的吗?既然人自称是高级动物，那就应该做一些符合这个称号的事，就应该做个有爱心的人，就应该保护动物，而不是仗着人多欺负他们。而且大自然之中的每一个动物植物都是生物链的一角，任何一角没有了都会破坏大自然，改变大自然，这样做其实也相当于害自己。所以，真希望人们可以停止这愚蠢的行为，不要再伤害动物了。让动物享受生活的权利，让他们快乐的生活。让他们成为我们忠诚的朋友吧!

它们的生衍死灭与我们人类的生活是密切相关的。动物的大量毁灭对人类将产生严重的不良后果，造成生态严重不平衡，从而使人类的生存环境遭到破坏。让我们从现在做起，从我做起，保护动物，使世界变得更美好吧!保护动物，就是保护人类自己!让我们一起保护动物，保护大自然，做一个有爱心的人吧!

[保护小动物作文900字

Water is very important for living things. Without water there can be no life on earth.

As we can see, the world population is growing rapidly day by day. So enough fresh water is needed to feed such a big population. Whats more, with the development of industry, factories and vehicles produce poisonous gases or wastes, which consequently results in the pollution of water. Though fresh, a good amount of it can no longer be used. Only quite limited fresh water resource is available to human beings. So its high time for us human beings to take quick action to protect water resource. Stop pollution and save water, otherwise, we cannot survive on the earth.

With fresh water, the world will be prosperous.

Excuse me waiter, there’s a shark in my soup

Some 200m years before dinosaurs made their appearance on earth and thus quite some time before Homo sapiens began celebrating nuptials at extravagant wedding banquets, sharks swam the oceans. Sharks are older than trees. They have survived at least four planetary mass extinctions.

在恐龙在地球上出现之前两亿年左右，也就是在现代人(Homo sapiens)开始举办奢华婚宴之前相当久远的时候，鲨鱼们就已经在海洋中游弋。鲨鱼比树还要古老。它们至少经历了四次地球物种灭绝，一直活到了今天。

The link between these ancient predators and contemporary wedding receptions is that, among Chinese people, it is a sign of generosity and prestige to serve guests shark-fin soup. Since there are more than 1.3bn Chinese people, and since they are getting more affluent by the day, that is of no little consequence to the shark population. Some 70m sharks are killed each year for their fins. Much of the time, the fins are sliced off with a blade at sea and the bloody shark torso thrown back in the water to die.

这种古老的食肉动物和当代婚宴之间的联系在于，在中国人眼中，请客人吃鱼翅羹是慷慨与体面的标志。由于中国有13亿多人口，并且中国人一天比一天富裕，吃鱼翅对鲨鱼数量可谓影响重大。为了获取鱼翅，人类每年要捕杀约7000万条鲨鱼。大多数时候，人们在海上用刀把鱼鳍割下来，然后便将血淋淋的鲨鱼躯干扔入海里，任由它们死去。

The California state legislature is debating a bill co-sponsored by Paul Fong, a Chinese-American Democrat, to ban the sale, consumption and trade of shark fin. Hawaii, Oregon and Washington state already impose similar bans. California accounts for 85 per cent of shark fin eaten in the US. The bill sailed through the lower house assembly, but is being held up in the state senate because of concerns it discriminates against Chinese Americans.

加利福尼亚州立法机构正在讨论由民主党人、美籍华人方文忠(Paul Fong)联合提议的一项旨在禁止贩卖、消费和交易鱼翅的议案。夏威夷州、俄勒冈州和华盛顿州已经实施了类似的禁令。加州的鱼翅食用量占到美国鱼翅总食用量的85%。州众议院会议已通过了此项议案，但因担心法案有歧视美籍华人的嫌疑，州参议院还未对其投票表决。

What people eat is, indeed, a sensitive topic and one that generates much hypocrisy. Different cultures have formed their own taboos about what is proper, and not proper, to eat. Muslims and Jews don’t eat pigs, Hindus don’t eat cows and most Americans don’t eat snake or whale. Jains, and vegetarians of all cultures, don’t eat any animals at all.

人们吃什么确实是一个敏感的话题，也会催生许多虚伪的作风。对于可以吃什么、不可以吃什么，不同的文化有着各自的禁忌。穆斯林和犹太教徒不吃猪肉，印度教徒不吃牛肉，而大多数美国人不吃蛇肉或鲸肉。耆那教徒(Jains)和各种文化中的素食主义者都不吃任何动物。

Westerners are particularly prone to turning up their nose at what other people eat. Their position is mostly illogical and sometimes offensive. They tend to mentally divide animals into those you eat (like pigs, sheep and chickens); those you cuddle or stroke (cats, dogs and horses); and those too ugly, unusual or intelligent to eat (say beetles, zebras and dolphins). Many profess to loathe barbarity – think clubbing seals – yet are happy to eat veal or to ignore what goes on in their friendly neighbourhood abattoir.

西方人尤其看不惯其它文化社会的人们所吃的东西。他们的出发点大多不合逻辑，有时可能还会触犯众怒。他们往往在心里把动物分为好几类：吃的(如猪、羊和鸡)、搂抱或抚摸的(猫、狗和马)以及太丑、太怪或太聪明而不能吃的(比如甲虫、斑马和海豚)。许多人都公开对残暴行为表示憎恶——例如用棍子猎杀海豹——但却爱吃小牛肉，或佯装对自己居住的友好社区的屠宰场里发生的一切毫不知晓。

Michael Moore, the American documentary film-maker, brilliantly – if possibly inadvertently – exposed this self-delusion in Roger & Me. In a scene that was meant to highlight the poverty of Flint, Michigan, a woman selling rabbits is shown asking customers if they want “pets or meat”. If the answer is “pet”, the cuddly bunny is handed over to a delighted child. If “meat”, the hapless creature is clubbed to death with a lead pipe and skinned on the spot.

美国纪录片电影制片人迈克尔?摩尔(Michael Moore)在《罗杰和我》(Roger & me)中绘声绘色地(也可能是不经意地)披露了这种自欺欺人的行径。在展现密歇根州弗林特(Flint)贫困状况的一个场景中，有个女人在卖兔子，她问顾客要买“宠物还是兔肉”。如果答案是“宠物”，她就把小兔子交给一个满心欢喜的孩子。如果答案是“兔肉”，她便当场用一根铅管把这个可怜的动物打死并把皮剥下来。

The richer societies get, the more finicky they tend to become. Many (including myself) waste half the animal they have had killed on their behalf, refusing to consume its organs, intestines, brain and so on. These parts are often eaten, and sometimes prized, in non-western societies, particularly in Asia. In their willingness to consume almost all the animal, both China and Japan score far better than most western countries.

社会越是富有，往往就会变得越挑剔。许多人(包括我在内)会浪费掉因为他们而被杀死的动物的一半，我们拒绝食用它们的器官、肠子和脑子等等部位。但在西方之外的社会、尤其是亚洲，人们通常是吃这些的，而且有时还会将其视若珍品。就吃下动物所有部位的意愿而言，中国和日本要远远排在大多数西方国家的前面。

Surely, then, one can’t object to eating shark fin? Yet one can and one should. The reasons are to do with conservation and our broader ecosystem. Some species of shark have been depleted by 70 per cent and a few, such as smooth hammerhead, bull sharks and tiger sharks, by 90 per cent or more. Sharks are the ocean’s top predators. Their absence causes havoc. Off the east coast of America, sharks used to eat bottom-feeding rays. With shark numbers massively depleted, the rays have had a field day devouring scallops, clams and oysters, rapidly reducing stocks.

这么说来，想必我们不能反对吃鱼翅了?不，我们可以反对，而且也应当反对。因为这关系到环境保护以及更广泛生态系统的保护。一些种类的鲨鱼数量已减少了70%，少数几个种类的数量减少了90%，例如平双髻鲨、牛鲨和虎鲨。鲨鱼是位于海洋食物链最顶端的捕食者。若没有它们，生态系统会发生混乱。在美国东海岸附近，鲨鱼通常以在水底觅食的魟鱼为食。由于鲨鱼数量急剧减少，魟鱼就会趁机吃掉很多扇贝、蛤蜊和牡蛎，使这些物种的数量迅速减少。

Once shark fins are dried and in jars, it is all but impossible to tell what kind of shark they came from or whether they were finned. At one store in the Sheung Wan district of Hong Kong, a city where half the world’s shark fin is traded, a salesman admits he has no idea whether the fins come from endangered species. His shop does not sell shark meat, and he says it could be true that the carcase is simply tossed into the sea. As well as the cruelty, there is also the incredible waste. The average shark stretches to about 10 bowls of soup.

鲨鱼的鳍一旦被晒干并放入罐里，便几乎无可判断它们来自哪种鲨鱼，或者是否是被割下来的。在鱼翅交易量占全球一半的香港，上环区一家商店的一位销售人员坦承，他不清楚店里的鱼翅是否来自濒危鲨鱼。他的店里不卖鲨鱼肉，并且他表示，鲨鱼的尸体被直接抛回海里可能是真事。岂止是残忍，这也是一种巨大的浪费。平均每条鲨鱼只能加工出大约10碗鱼翅汤。

Certainly, shark fin is traditional. As one writer points out, to ask people to stop eating it is the equivalent of suggesting Americans give up turkey for Thanksgiving. There is doubtless a case for banning other types of food, such as some types of caviar and some species of whale. But cultures are not immutable. Traditions change, especially when they are unsustainable.

不错，鱼翅是一种传统食物。正如一位作家所指出的那样，要求人们不吃鱼翅就好比让美国人过感恩节时不要吃火鸡。我们无疑有理由禁止食用其它食物，比如某类鱼子酱和某些种类的鲸。但文化也不是一成不变的。传统会发生变化，尤其是当它们难以为继的时候。

Fortunately, many of the most prominent campaigners against shark fin are Chinese, with Yao Ming, the recently retired basketball sensation, among the most passionate. In Hong Kong, where shark fin used to be de rigueur at Cantonese banquets, many young people refuse to eat it. Besides, sharks have less cachet now they are siphoned from the oceans on an industrial scale.

值得庆幸的是，在反对吃鱼翅的最著名活动人士之中，许多都是中国人，比如近期退役的篮球明星姚明，就是行动最积极的人士之一。在香港，鱼翅曾是粤宴上的必备菜肴，但如今许多青年人拒绝食用鱼翅。此外，在捕杀鲨鱼实现工业化规模的今天，鱼翅的身价已大不如前。

In Canada, more than a few ethnic Chinese couples have made a show of not serving shark fin at their wedding. Judy Lao recently told the Vancouver Province why she didn’t have it at her reception. “We don’t really care, our friends don’t care, and shark fin has no nutritional value anyway,” she said. “So why should we serve it?” Why indeed.

在加拿大，许多对华裔夫妇已做出表率，在婚宴上不供应鱼翅。Judy Lao最近向《温哥华省报》(Vancouver Province)解释了，为什么她的婚宴没有上鱼翅。“我们并不介意这些，我们的朋友也不介意，再说鱼翅根本也没有什么营养价值，”她表示。“所以，我们为什么要上鱼翅呢?”确实，这有什么必要呢?

[保护鲨鱼的英语作文

看着变得越来越少的动物，濒临灭绝的动物越来越多，我们是不是应该开始保护动物，从我们身边的小事做起。

看了科普书《森林报》(春)后，我对大自然有了些认识，它让我爱上了蹦蹦跳跳的小白兔，喜欢上了警觉的松鸡，迷上了好斗的琴鸡，但我印象最深刻的是里面的小篇章——《打猎》。

它主要讲述了猎人们怎样打猎。如果猎人要打勾嘴鹬的话，会选择在黄昏时打他们，并会先打雌的(前提是一对勾嘴鹬夫妇)。这样雄的勾嘴鹬就会为找不到自己的妻子而发愁，这时，猎人就扔起自己的黑帽子。雄勾嘴鹬以为那是自己的妻子，于是就俯冲下来，这时，猎人再开枪把勾嘴鹬打死。

猎人们打野鸭也有自己的一套方法。他们先把捕捉到的野鸭训练成“叛徒”，然后把那只野鸭带到河面上，野鸭就会大声地叫，它的叫声吸引了众多野鸭，猎人就一枪一枪地把他们打死。

看完后，我觉得猎人们非常残忍。可转念一想，他们是为了生存而不得已这样做的。既然这样，还是从我们做起，开始保护动物吧。

现在，首先，我们尽量少吃那些用动物做成的菜啊，汤啊等等，否则就等于在杀害那些小生命。就拿鸭子来说吧，我大约算了一下，全中国最少也有几千个烤鸭店，而每天至少要卖出几十只烤鸭，这样每天就会死几万只鸭子，每年就会更多了，更何况这仅仅是中国的数子啊，要是全世界的数目就会更可怕的。其次，我们尽量不要捕捉小鸟，这样，它们可能会受惊，再加上没有朋友的陪伴，它们可能会闭上眼睛的。难道你忍心看着一只只快乐的小鸟就这样悲惨地死去吗?

让我们从自己做起，从小事做起，保护动物，保护我们的家园。
