如何写保护动物的英语作文合集20篇

在人们心目中，我们兔子是十分亲切、和善的小动物。(却一点也不爱护我们)在古老的传说中，最早登上月宫的，除了嫦娥、吴刚之外，还有就是我们了。这是古代人民美好的想象。

嫦娥登上了月宫，据《淮南子》等古书的记载，是因为她偷吃了她丈夫羿从西五母那里要来的不死药，就飞进月宫，变成了捣药的蟾蜍。吴刚登上月宫，据《酉阳杂俎》的记载，是因为西何人吴刚修仙犯了错误，才罚他去代月中的桂树。这桂树随砍随长，永远也砍不断。

我们的友好方式可是与众不同哦。如果我们同类舔你的手是喜欢你，如果兔子讨厌你或害怕你的话是不会舔你的，

我们兔子吃的食物大家应该都知道吧--兔粮和蔬菜(胡萝卜，生菜)不过喂别的蔬菜的时候要事先查查，很多蔬菜我们是不能吃的，吃了会中毒生病。(我们也是富贵命哦)

很多人认为我们兔子味道太大，这是因为没有训练好，(自己的过错推在我们头上，这招人类最会了)我们兔子和猫一样是可以训练(基本上)在固定的地点上厕所。

宠物兔子不是野兔，放在野外存活不了，而且我们兔子需要关心，活动，一般家兔寿命在6-10年。(兔的一声如此短暂。莫等闲，白了头，空悲切。汗！忘记了，我们的头发本来就是白的。)所以养兔子之前最好想好，不要养了一半就扔了，(所有说要好好养我们，我们也是生命啊~)我们在野外是存活不了的。

千万不要养到一般就放弃了哦！我在天上可是会随时随地地监视你们人类的哦~！拜拜！~

星期六的上午，爸爸带我来到田野里散步。走着走着，我看见有两个好像是猎人的小朋友 ，因为我看见他们的手里拿着捕鱼的网和叉子，还有一把枪。他们走到树林里。树林里有个池塘，池塘里有许多青蛙，他们看见了连忙跑过去。他们今天运气真好，一下子就捉到很多青蛙。他们把青蛙放在一个大袋子里。

然后他们又拿着枪去树林里打燕子，正好有一只燕子飞过来，落到树枝上。他们趁这个机会去打那只燕子，他们一下子就打中了那一只燕子。他们想去打第二只燕子的时候，我连忙跑过去对他们说：“青蛙和燕子是益虫益鸟，你们快把它们放了吧!”他们听懂了，立刻把青蛙放回池塘里，把燕子的伤包好。

他们把这两只有益的小动物放走了，我真高兴!他们现在知道了哪些动物是有益的。我们应该好好保护那些有益的动物，因为它们是人类的好朋友。

.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

My favorite little animal is a chicken.

Just, my house downstairs 307 to raise a few chicks. Every day when we pass by, these chicks are leaning on the head to see us miles.

The chicks are full of hairy and cute. A golden feather like a golden dress. The chicks have a pair of pointed mouths. Round eyes to see people when it is quite spirit of it

I did not see their ears, but chicks could not have ears. If there is no ears, then we walked over, how they will be wiped out toward our head look at us?

Mother said, just hatched chicks can only eat small grains, can not eat millet or corn, but also often give them water. If there are small insects to eat them, they will grow more air.

I like these lovely chicks too much But Mom and Dad said that now can not raise, do not raise well, they will die.

The earth scale change of climate has brought a new kind of natural disaster and the developed and complicated city system is holding a latent risk of expanding the damage artificially. Also people has been spoiling the health since the immense quantity of chemicals have been produced and already used in pursuit of convenience and various toxic substances have been produced unintentionally and accumulated in environment. Therefore, We need some countermeasures from the viewpoint to prevent the city environment form disaster and to manage environmental risks. So we will develop and improve a new risk management system and a disaster prevention system to preserve and create the city environment where people feel easy and sound in their life

地球规模变化的气候带来了一种新的自然灾害和发达和复杂的城市体系持有人为扩大损失的潜在风险。还人以来一直破坏健康的巨大数量的化学物质已经被生产和用于追求方便和各种有毒物质无意中产生和积累的环境。因此,我们需要一些对策的观点,以防止城市环境灾难和环境风险管理形式。所以我们将开发和改进一个新的风险管理系统和防灾系统保护和创造城市环境,让人感觉容易和声音在他们的生活

有一次，我看见在学校门口有一群人围在那，我就好奇的走过去看看，我看见有一位阿姨在那里卖小蝌蚪，那些小蝌蚪非常的活泼可爱，它那小小的身体就像一个个逗号，在盆子里游来游去，它们还不知道它们即将变成小朋友的玩具，它们可能即将死于非命，因为这种贩卖小蝌蚪的行为，让我看了十分心痛。因为小蝌蚪长大了会变成青蛙，青蛙可是庄家的“守护神".

青蛙是动物世界里最出色的“小小捕虫专家”，就连农民伯伯也亲密的称它为“农田卫士”.青蛙眼睛锐利，舌头吞吐迅速，专门捕捉苍蝇.蚊子.飞蛾等害虫，一只青蛙一天捕食害虫少说也有五六十只，多则两百多只，照这样推算一只青蛙一年至少要吃掉一万八千只害虫.你想如果你杀死一只青蛙就等于杀死一个庄家“小卫士”，也等于让几万只害虫逃之夭夭，从而使庄家招到更多的危害，捕捉青蛙会让青蛙的数量减少甚至绝种，失去这些好朋友是多么可惜啊！如果青蛙绝种了那么谁来保护庄家保护良田呢，有句农谚说的好：“春捕一只蛙，秋少一担粮”！可见青蛙和庄家息息相关！

不但青蛙是益虫，就连它们的宝宝蝌蚪也是捕虫能手，一只蝌蚪每天可以吃掉一百多只蚊子，如果每亩田多有四百多只青蛙农民就可以不用喷洒农药了，我们也就能够吃到无公害的绿色食品了！这样不仅庄稼获得了丰收，生活用水也可以少受到污染了，大家也不用担心因为水的污染身体收到伤害了.这是多么美好的一件事啊！

世界不能没有动植物，保护动植物就等于人类，让我们携起手来保护动植物保护青蛙吧！

Our society in constant development, our living standard has been improved, but my door but misses the point, that is environmental protection.

You see, lawn grass became yellow, and the roadside trees listlessly, dense forest under the handfuls of sharp saw also gradually away from us. This, but the fact that iron!

In the countryside, people cultivation of levelling, and so many trees lost their lives, however, these precious land because of improper use, was a wild field soil. In this way, a vast expanse of land with a large abandoned, year after year, day after day, past the dense forest will one day be a state long, become a piece of the other people hate the boundless gobi desert!

Everybody should know area Tuo lake, the biological variety there, especially the hairy crabs there, with a meat tender yellow, more and more the favour of people. Now, Tuo lake surface is covered by algae is full, the water had turned out to be a tan. And also the dead fish floating in the lake, garbage, and black water plant, are miserable sufferings

Careless human ah, you wake up, we live on the earth has not been able to afford, the forests on the earth in the sharply reduce, desert and wilderness is a miraculous increase. Clean fresh water resources is constantly reduced, however, dirty ChouShui river is in the unceasing increase, shouldnt, all is false?

Want people to listen to me a advice: please dont covet interests and cut down a tree, please dont waste water because of the naughty. Although these are only some things, but the cumulative up one by one and is a great thing. I believe that in the near future, our world will become more beautiful.

我们的社会在不断的发展，我们的生活水平也在不断的提高，可是我门却忽略了一点，那就是环境保护。

你瞧，草坪上的小草变黄了，路边的大树无精打采，茂密的森林也在一把把锋利的电锯之下渐渐的离我们远去。这，可是铁一样的事实!

在农村，人们垦荒造田，许许多多的树木就这样失去了生命，然而，这些宝贵的土地有因为使用不当，又被沦为荒田野土。就这样，一大片一大片的土地被荒废了，年复一年，日复一日，昔日那茂密的森林总有一天会一反长态，变成一片另人讨厌的茫茫的戈壁沙滩!

大家应该都知道五河沱湖吧，那儿的生物品种繁多，特别是那儿的大闸蟹，，以个大肉嫩、黄多而倍受人们的青睐。而现在呢，沱湖水面上皆被水藻覆盖满了，水竟然变成了黃褐色!而且湖水中还漂浮的死鱼、垃圾、还有黑乎乎的水草，真是惨不忍

糊涂的人类啊，你们醒醒吧，我们赖以生存的地球已经承受不了了，地球上的森林在急剧的减少，沙漠和荒野却奇迹般的增加。干净的淡水资源在不断的减少，然而，肮脏的臭水河却在不断的增加，难道，这些都是假的吗?

希望人们听我的一句劝告：请不要因贪图利益而砍树，请不要因为贪玩而而浪费水。虽然这些只是一些小事，但是一件件累计起来，就是一件大事。我相信，不久的将来，我们的世界将会变的更加美好。

周末，妈妈带我们去海洋世界，让我印象最深的是海龟。

海龟非常可爱，长了一个大大的元宝头，可卖萌了！它的四肢就像船桨，在水中一摇一摆地游动，就这样，身子也游得一上一下，就像在跳不合拍的广场舞。海龟是爬行类动物，在陆地上产卵。雄性尾巴长，体长的二分之一。海龟以鱼类、海藻等为主要食物。海龟还是国家二级保护动物呢！

我在海洋馆的海龟池看到了很多的海龟，它们是那么可爱，可是我看到了一些小朋友不好的行为。比如，用小棍子去弄海龟的头和背，旁边有人制止了，他们也不停，继续作弄海龟，搞得这些海龟很狼狈的样子……

看到这些，我想到了我们家的小乌龟，我想我们一定要保护海洋动物，特别是国家保护动物，以后我也会对小乌龟更加关心的。

Now, patches of forest became less factories. Endless grassland into desert, limpid streams into a muddy gutter, beautiful grassland into a barren desert. Why? Why is this? This is because people caused by deforestation.

The earth is home to the survival of people, and the human is continues to destroy it, people cut trees have purify air, reduce noise and adjust the temperature, and other functions; Being pulled out of the grass and people to remove the flowers to beautify the environment. You imagine, if it were not for the plant, our living environment?

These days, many wild animals has become the plate of food, fine furniture, gorgeous dress. You think about these wild animals to buy me a life brought a lot of fun, without these lovely animals, our life will become special boring. Rose up in the morning, cant hear the birds chirping and crisp sound, cant see the kitten doggie smile to you, can only see the strange and hard faces, that is bad!

Let us join hands together to create a beautiful home! Let us see the mountains again, flowers everywhere, singing birds, vibrant scene! Let our life more beautiful environment, more interesting. Let the flower and grass fragrance our lives "to protect the environment, everyone duty", believe in the near future will be a new world, we create a beautiful earth. Everyone must do "protect the environment, everyone duty."

现在，片片森林变成了座座工厂。一望无际的草地变成了荒原，清澈的小溪变成了浑浊的臭水沟，美丽的草原变成了贫瘠的沙漠。为什?这究竟是为什么?这是因为人们乱砍乱伐造成的。

地球是人们赖以生存的家园，而人类却在不断的破坏它，被人们砍伐掉的树有着净化空气，减小噪音，调节气温等功能;被人们拔掉的小草和被人们摘掉的鲜花能美化环境。大家想象一下，如果没有这些植物，我们生活的环境会怎样?

如今，许多野生动物成为了人们盘中的美食，精致的家具，华丽的服饰。大家想一想这些野生动物给我买的生活带来了许多的乐趣，如果没有这些可爱的动物，我们的生活就会变得特别无趣。早晨起来，不能听到小鸟叽叽喳喳清脆的叫声，不能看到小猫小狗向你微笑，只能看到一张张陌生而生硬的面孔，那多不好啊!

让大家携起手来，共同创造这美丽的家园吧!让我们重新看到青山绿水，鲜花遍地，百鸟欢歌，生机勃勃的场面吧!让我们的生活的环境更加美好，更加有趣。让鲜花和小草芳香我们的生活“保护环境，人人有责”，相信不久的将来地球将被我们创建成美丽的新天地。大家一定要做到“保护环境，人人有责。”

因为，有很多昆虫都对人类有益。比如说：蜜蜂，它很勤劳，每天早上很早就出去采蜜，一次又一次。到了天黑，吃几口蜜糖后，就马不停蹄地对采来的蜜进行加工。蜜蜂的外形并不起眼，生命也很短暂，只有3个月左右；可它一生都不休息，勤勤恳恳地工作，它们对人类毫无所求，却为人们酿造了甘甜可口、营养丰富、可医治病痛的蜂蜜。

还有青蛙，青蛙披着碧绿的衣裳，两只大眼睛，像两颗晶莹透明的玻璃球，它藏在田里，专吃害虫，保护庄稼。它捉害虫的时候两条后腿一蹬，一纵身，敏捷地将后腿一蜷，跳起老高，长长的舌头一伸，就像一个吸尘器一样转眼就把害虫吃到肚子里去了

可是，我们人类却把它们当成美味佳肴摆在餐桌上。

还有许多可爱的动物，我最喜欢的是大熊猫。大熊猫是我国珍贵的动物，妈妈告诉我大熊猫还是我们国家的国宝呢！大熊猫长的很可爱，胖乎乎、圆滚滚的，走起路来一摇一晃的，特别逗人。它的头部和身体都是白色的，只有眼圈、耳朵和肩部是黑褐色的。特别是那一对黑黑的眼圈，长在白白的脸上，像是戴着一副墨镜，加上那笨拙的动作和走起路来东张西望的神情，显得像个小绅士。

你瞧！它们多么可爱，它们是我们人类的好朋友，我们怎么忍心伤害它们呢！

Nowadays environmental protection has become the first thing we have to do, because now the earths environment is under threat.

Now, we know that the earth has been warming, cold place has melted the ice, the water level becomes more and more high, let many coastal countries. More land desertification, disasters are hit, make our life is no longer so carefree.

First of all, we must start from the side.

Forests have been cut down, automobile exhaust emissions... The first will directly affect our lives, because they let we dare not breathe. So, the best way to deal with these problems is to drive less, ride bikes, and riding a bike is good for you! . But although it has been said that and said more than once, but why there are so many cars on the road? So, this method really, a bit not practical.

The simplest is to plant trees, the trees are humans good friends, they can help mankind to many things, such as clean air, and so on. So, a variety of trees, this method is very practical!

In short, our earth wanted us to take good care of yourself, to protect, want to use practical actions to help the earth, make the environment more beautiful!

先如今环保已经成为了我们必做的事，因为现在地球上的环境正受到威胁。

现在，我们知道地球已经开始变暖，寒冷地方的冰已经开始融化，变成的水使水平面越来越高，让许多沿海的国家被淹没。更多的土地沙漠化，天灾不断来袭，使我们的生活不再那么无忧无虑。

首先，我们必须从身边做起。

大片森林被不断砍伐，汽车尾气不断排放……这些首先就会直接影响到我们的生活，因为这些让我们“不敢呼吸”。所以，这些问题最好的解决方法就是少开车，多骑自行车，而且，骑自行车也很有益身体健康!。可虽然一直这样说，而且说了也不只一次，可为什么还是有那么多的车在路上呢?所以，这个方法实在，有点不实用。

最简单的就是种树了，树是人类的好朋友，他们能帮助人类许多事，比如净化空气啦，等等。所以，多种树，这个方法很实用!

总而言之，我们的地球要我们自己去爱护，去保护，要用实际行动来帮助地球，让环境更美好!

The quality of human life has improved greatly over the past few centuries, but Earth is being harmed more and more by human activity. As we develop our technology, we demand more from our planet. Eventually, this will harm people as well.

Our planet gives us everything we need, but natural resources are not endless. Strip mining devastates whole regions, leaving bare and useless ground. Deforestation removes old growth trees that cant be replaced. Too much fishing may harm fish populations to the point where they cant recover. We are too careless in taking what we want without giving anything back.

There are more people than ever, living longer that ever. So is it any surprise that many areas suffer from too much development? Anyone living in or near a city has experienced "urban sprawl". There is a new shopping area on every corner and new houses, townhouses and apartments everywhere. Traffic gets worse and worse because planners cant keep up with growth. Keeping up with human demand is hard enough. Environmental concerns come in last.

With growth comes pollution. Companies and communities dump waste into water. Landfills are full of trash. Emissions from factories pollute the air. Barrels of industrial waste and worse, radioactive waste, have no safe place to go. If were not careful, we can harm our planet beyond repair.

People need to respect the Earth and try to preserve it. If we dont, what kind of future will we have?

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.

This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living.

In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.

When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.
