英语作文：保护濒危动物（汇编20篇）

动物是人类的好朋友，我们应该爱护它们、保护他们，可有些人却把它们当成了玩具和盘中餐……

先说玩具吧，许多小朋友，甚至一些大人，每次买了宠物，像小猫、小狗、金鱼……养在家里，把他们像玩具一样捉弄、戏弄，我想说：动物也是一条生命!它们也是有尊严的!还有，养小动物如果一时疏忽，有时会把他们弄生病，甚至死亡!

再说盘中餐吧，许多大人喜欢吃野生动物，像青蛙、蛇……这样，使得许多动物都灭绝了!而且对人体也有很大的危害!据说2003年“非典”就是因为这样引起的!我诚恳的告诫大家：“请大家不要再吃野生动物了!”

还有，许多人特别爱吃青蛙，所以有许多人为了赚钱，残忍的杀害了青蛙拉到菜市场去买……请问那些杀害青蛙的人，你们在杀害青蛙的同时，有没有想过，青蛙是人类的好朋友，他们能帮农民伯伯捉害虫、保护庄稼呢?

动物是人类的朋友，请大家保护动物吧!保护动物，人人有责!

在有益小动物中，我最喜欢的动物是：青蛙、小鸟、蜜蜂等。

青蛙眼睛大大的，又亮晶晶的，绿色的皮肤是它的保护色，不注意看时就跟田里的庄稼一样，四条腿强壮有力又很灵活，游得时候飞快，据说人类的蛙泳，就是仿照青蛙的游泳姿势，是不是可以说青蛙是人类游泳的“导师”呢！

最近，我在书上看到一个叔叔在吃青蛙肉！那时，我真的吓坏了，青蛙是抓害虫的能手，它会用长舌头吃各种田里的害虫，很厉害的，是帮助人类的呀！如果，没有了青蛙，田里的害虫会越来越多，庄稼收成也少了，而且人们用手去抓虫子废时又废力。妈妈还说：有些虫子有毒的，可能还会受伤。

因此保护有益小动物，是我们每个人都义不容辞的责任。

I have got two baby cats. they are very beautiful. One is yellow.

The other is white. they are very lovely. the yellow cat is very naughty.

He likes to play with people. He often runs here and there.

His favourite game is playing with balls, ropes and stones. But the white cat is very gentle.

She likes to wash her face. And she doesn′t like to play with people.

She often jumps onto my knees. I like to give her a bath.

Oh, my baby cats bring me much happiness. We are very good friends. I love them.

In the past, there have been many endangered animals. Now they are extinct. Does it matterHas our environment been affected by their absenceHas the quality of our own life been changedThe answer to these questions is “Yes.”

It does matter if we destroy an endangered species habitat to develop more farmland, housing or industrial parks.It will effect all the other creature.

For example, if certain trees are cut down, birds and bats will have no place to roost.They cannot roost, they cannot breed. If there are no bats or brids, there will be no animal to eat certain insects that plague our crops.

Jungle around the world are being cut down to make room for humans. We will never be able to see or study this fragile ecosystem.

Human beings should be responsible for their own acts of nature. The promulgation of laws to maintain ecological balance, to make more space and natural. Conservation biology, Protect environment, protection of natural.

Last week, I saw a very impressive documentary about panda. A professor

studied panda in the early 1980s went to the wild life and kept trace of wild

giant panda for many years. As a result, he found that it was human being that

made these lovely animals die out. At that time, many people believed that giant

panda became less because of the low rate of newborn babies. But it was not

true. People cut trees for making profit at that time. Panda lose homeland and

they lacked of food. Thanks to these valuable data, the government took the

policy to protect the animals. So today, the number of giant panda is

increasing. People realize the importance of protecting the environment and it

is the best way to protect wild animals, they are the indispensable part of the

nature.

Protection of the Environment

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 become 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.

We know that if the population continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there wont 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.

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

I like a lot of animals, but my favorite animal is the panda. She comes from China, why did I love her? Because she is very cute, but she was very shy. Her body stout like bears, but the first round tail short, black and white fur and white head and body clear. She staple food of bamboo, but also addicted to love drinking water, most of the giant pandas homes are located near the water in streams, the nearest will be able to drink clear spring.

Do you know? Time unknowingly. Have you found? Our home into a another look: the bottom of the river became a filth, dirty dust filled the air, everywhere... This is what caused the so huge change? Turned out to be a human that bad habit destroyed the ecological environment, no one has the courage to stand up to stop. Have people unaware of the danger is quietly coming?

News often report news of casualties, such as someone because drink beverages containing chemicals and poisoning, and people were containing sand blown blind eyes... Ah! Absolutely horrible! If everyone around you endlessly environmental pollution, destruction of their homes, so, I really cant imagine that ten years, twenty years, thirty years later... Our home what happens earth-shaking changes, our descendants will blame us, what makes you denied the right to our survival!

Yeah! We dont have the privilege to damage the environment, to destroy their homes. We should not only cherish own life, more want to future generations the survival of the society in harmony with nature, for the sake of nature.

Boys and girls, lets see some action! Protect the environment, care for the home! Everyone to get rid of bad habits, start from around things, such as: dont throw away waste batteries, use water and electricity saving, try to walk or ride a bike... I believe, as long as we carefully action, and will lose everything back to nature, will be our fault compensation back. Let the future home is not painful, but the eternal beautiful young!

你们知道吗?时间不知不觉地流逝着。你们发现了吗?我们的家园变成了另一副模样：清澈见底的小河变成了污泥浊水，肮脏的灰尘充斥着空气，无处不在……这是什么原因造成了这样如此巨大的变化呢?原来是人类那不良的恶习破坏了生态环境，更没有人有勇气挺身而出去阻止。难道人们没有意识到危急时刻正悄悄来临了吗?

新闻常常报道伤亡的消息，比如有人因为喝了含有化学品的饮料而中毒，还有人被含有沙粒的风吹瞎了眼睛……啊!简直惨不忍睹啊!如果身边的每一个人都无休止地污染环境，破坏家园，那么，我真的不敢想象：十年，二十年，三十年后……我们的家园会发生怎样翻天覆地的变化，我们的子孙后代会不会责怪我们——你们凭什么剥夺了我们生存的权利!

是啊!我们没有这个特权去破坏环境，去毁灭家园。我们不仅应该爱惜自己的生命，更要为了子孙后代的生存学会与大自然和谐相处，多多为大自然着想。

同学们，赶快行动起来吧!保护环境，爱护家园!人人改掉恶习，从身边的小事做起，比如：不随便丢弃废电池，节约用水电，尽量步行或骑自行车……我相信，只要我们认真地行动起来，就一定会把大自然失去的一切都找回来，就一定会把我们的过错补偿回来。让未来的家园不是痛苦，而是永恒的美丽年轻!

一天，我和妈妈去菜市场买菜。

菜市场里全都是叫卖声，卖白菜喽，卖青菜喽，卖青蛙喽。我一听有青蛙卖，我就拉着妈妈兴奋地去看青蛙。妈妈看见这里的青蛙又肥又大，就说：“你想不想买几只青蛙尝尝?”我点了一点头。妈妈看见我在点头，就对卖青蛙的人说：“老板，给我挑几只大一点的青蛙!”我高高兴兴地买了几只青蛙回家了。

我刚想把青蛙煮了，可是旁边却听见爸爸低沉地说：“孩子，你必需把这些青蛙放掉!”“为什么?”我很不情愿地说。“因为青蛙是益虫，它7月份一共能吃掉害虫20000多只而且还能保护农作物因为不管是飞的爬的，躲在地下的，它们只要一出来活动，就都被青蛙吃掉而且青蛙对人类的益处很大，如果捕杀青蛙就回让害虫大量的繁殖，我们就必需要大量是用农药来杀死害虫，这样不仅破坏了生态平横而且还污让了环境因此严禁捕食青蛙!所以，你必需把这些青蛙放掉!”

我从爸爸斩钉截铁的口气中，我知道我以经再也没有什么可以商量的余地了。我只好跑到河边，把青蛙放掉了。我看这那几只青蛙用四条着强劲又力的大腿往河中央游去。我叹了口气，心想：我这辈子再也买不到这么大的青蛙了。

真的，我从那以后，我再也没有买到过这么大的鱼了。可是那天的情景却一直铭刻在我的记忆里，爸爸坚定的话语也一直回响再我的耳边。

从小，我就是和小狗一起长大的，因为狗是人类最忠诚的朋友。我和奶奶在一起时常常看见奶奶无缘无故的踢小狗，每当这时，我都会对奶奶大吼大叫：“奶奶你怎么能踢小狗呢？”可奶奶又怎么能听得进去呢？看着这只可怜兮兮的小狗，我不禁鼻子一酸：因为我们是人类就能在地球是为所欲为了吗？难道小狗就没有尊严吗？对那些自以为是的人类，我无可奉告！动物是人类最忠诚的朋友啊！

只能够到蛇为什么会咬人吗？知道猫为什么会抓人吗？不是因为这是他们的本质，而是因为它们怕人类，怕那些残忍的恶魔！不要再欺负弱小了，让我们一起保护动物吧！

保护动物的作文300字二

我们要保护小动物，特别是小鸡这类弱小的动物，因为小鸡早晨可以叫我们起床，可以生一个又一个圆圆的的鸡蛋，还可以提供鸡肉给我们吃。

有一次，我和妈妈上菜市场，听见一位老奶奶在喊：“卖鸡了，今天的鸡又肥又嫩！”妈妈说：“今天，我们买一只鸡回家，炖汤喝。”我说：“好吧。”可又想了想：如果我们吃了鸡，那么就吃不到鸡蛋了，就对妈妈说：“不行，吃了鸡就没有鸡蛋吃了。”“傻孩子，你瞎操什么心啊！”妈妈不由分说地把我拉到卖鸡的那边。卖鸡的老奶奶正在杀鸡，只见她拔下鸡脖子上的毛，拿刀用力地在鸡脖子上划了几下。血喷向了四周，鸡挣扎了几下就死了。“太残忍了，我不要吃鸡！”我向妈妈大声的抗议。“好吧，不买了，我们就去买点蔬菜吧。”也许妈妈也觉得残忍，就同意了。

假如我们的生活中没有了动物，世界就会变得很孤独。我们要保护动物，从自身做起：少吃肉类食品，少穿皮衣毛衣；看见别人欺负动物，要勇敢地站出来劝说他们。

保护动物，人人有责！

I am a student from Xinhua High School in Chongqing，China. Informed that you have a vacancy for a student to serve as the spokesman for animals, I cannot resist my inner excitement,hoping to seize the opportunity to do something for animals .

In my mind，nothing can delight me so much as caring for animals. Wherever I go and whatever I do, I usually keep in mind that animals are angels from the heaven, which bring us endless comfort and pleasure. I have been a panda lover since my childhood. Panda is so lovely that brings fun to people and they are regarded as the treasure of our country. Unfortunately，such a rare species is now faced with the danger of being extinct。What I am eager to do is to raise people’s awareness of animal protection and appeal to more people to care for our earth companies.

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history。 Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers， for food， for sport， and simply because they were in the way。 Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever。 Hundreds more are on the danger list today。 About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger。

Why should people care？ Because we need animals， and because once they are gone， there will never be any more。 Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting。 They are more than just a source of food。 Every animal has its place in the balance of nature。 Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems。 For example， when farmers killed large numbers of hawks， the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice。 Why？ Because hawks eat rats and mice， with no hawks to keep down their numbers， the rats and mice multiplied quickly。

Luckily， some people are working to help save the animals。 Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem。 And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger。 Quite a few countries have passed laws。 These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list。 Slowly， the number of some animals in danger is growing。

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.

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。

【参考译文】

动物需要人类的保护

动物是自然资源，在整个历史过程中，人类一直在糟蹋着这种资源。人们杀死动物 ，获得它们的皮毛，把它们当作食物或运动方式，或者只是因为它们碍事。成千上万种动物 已经从这个地球上永远地消失了。现在另外上百种动物 也上了濒危动物 名单。仅荚国大概就有170种被认为处于危险当中。

为什么人们应该感到担忧呢?因为我们需要动物 ，因为它们一旦消失，就永远不会再出现。动物 不仅仅是漂亮或有趣。它们不仅仅是人类的食物来源。在维持自然平衡中，每种动物 都有其作用。毁灭某种动物 会导致许多问题。比如，农民们如果杀死为数众多的鹰，他们谷物和粮食的仓库就会受到老鼠和田鼠的破坏。 为什么?因为鹰吃鼠类，没有鹰控制它们的数量，鼠类就会迅速繁殖。

幸运的是，有些人正在努力帮助拯救这些动物 。有些组织筹钱以便人们了解这一问题。他们也努力使政府通过保护 濒危动物 的法律。很多国家已经通过了法律。这些法律禁止杀害濒危名单上的动植物。某些濒危动物 的数目正在慢慢地不断上升。
