1000保护濒危动物的
全文共 691 字
+ 加入清单指猴又叫绒猴,和它的名字一样,指猴只有人的一根手指差不多大小。指猴的身高10—12厘米左右,重约80—100克。最大的也不过35厘米左右。它尾巴又长又蓬松,一般可达20—35厘米,就像一把小扫帚。
指猴喜欢栖息在雨林中,白天藏身于巢窝中睡觉,夜间单独或成对出来活动。那么指猴又是如何觅食的呢?入夜了,随着一声声“唉唉”的叫声,诡秘的指猴出动了,猎取树缝中的小虫是指猴得心应手的把戏,开始,轻轻沿着树干行走,鼻尖紧贴树皮,当听到或嗅到什么,便停下来凝神观看,继而便猛烈地掘咬树皮,用它特有的手指抠树干中的虫卵,直到挖出隐藏着的蛴螬,然后,伸出指头,把蛴螬压扁填入口中。指猴主要以各种水果、坚果和昆虫为食。由于指猴最喜欢吃树皮下或枯树上虫卵,幼虫,小甲虫,它的进食习性,颇像树木医生--啄木鸟,因此起到了啄木鸟的作用。所以在离马达加斯加岛很近的非洲大陆有啄木鸟,这里则被指猴所代替了。
母绒猴孕期为140~150天左右,每胎1~3仔。狨猴家族里,雄狨猴充当着“贤夫良父”的角色。雌狨猴生下子女后,只在喂奶时抱上它们一小会儿,照料孩子的工作全落在雄狨猴身上。雄狨猴会为小狨猴清洗身体,等到小狨猴不再吃奶时,它还会亲自喂小家伙们进食
现在绒猴栖息环境的缩小、恶化和人为的捕猎是使这种动物致危的主要因素。由于此种猴类进化至此仍然带有原始的面貌及生活特征,所以极为稀缺。狨猴在整个猴类家族中,在全世界范围中仅仅只有十几种。许多马达加斯加人认为指猴会给他们带来恶运。如果看到一只指猴,他们会立刻把它杀死。另外,指猴赖以生存的雨林遭到了砍伐,所以它们也面临着灭绝的危险。让我们一起行动起来,保护濒危动物!

+ 加入清单Advice on Protecting Wild Animal
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。
很多动物频临灭绝的危险。图表显示,我们能够看到动物物种数量下降的速度越来越快,而且这种趋势将会持续下去。从1980年到2010年,至少有100万动物物种已经消失。更糟糕的是,越来越多的野生动物处于巨大的危险中。这不是一则耸人听闻的新闻,这是一个事实,一个残酷的事实。不幸的是,将来我们可能看不到这些动物了。
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。
从第二幅图我们能够找到一些原因。为什么动物物种的数量一年年的减少呢?显然,动物成为了时尚工业的受害者。动物的皮被用来做时髦的衣服,而且这些衣服都是高价出售。因此,一些贪婪的人就开始超多屠杀动物。这种不负职责的行为不仅仅打破了自然的平衡,而且使人类居住环境陷入危险。
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。
在我看来,我们务必要做些什么来阻止这种违法行为。我相信“没有买,就没有杀”。首先,我们务必制定有关法律来保护这些处于危险中的动物。其次,我们务必采取一些措施有效的保护动物。动物是人类的朋友,也是我们环境的一部分。再次,我们就应提高人们保护动物和环境的意识。这样一来,我们就能够建立一个和谐的社会,确保其可持续发展。

+ 加入清单在一片天空里,候鸟在飞着,它飞过了崇山峻岭,飞进了属于自己的世界。可是为甚麽人类打破了这个美丽的世界,打破了鸟儿的自由。
当它被人类捉起来的时候,他是多么希望有那麽一个人可以伸出援手来帮助他,解开他身上的铁锁,让他重新飞回天空。
可是谁会这样做呢?谁会不想吃美味的烤鸟啊,可是我们儿童不会,因为一个小生命在你手中,难道你会忍心看着它被别人煮来吃吗?
我想世界的每一个动物都想拥有自由,不会想眼睁睁的看着,自己被别人吃掉,所以它们飞向自己向往的地方。
我看到鸟儿们都在欢笑,他们喜欢在这片天空下飞翔,无论经过多少的风雨,他们也不害怕,因为天空是他们的飞翔的翅膀,他们带着希望,与其他的鸟儿,一起飞过一座座城市,看到了世界的美好,感受了飞翔的美丽,和那些经历过的酸甜苦辣,风风雨雨。他们飞了3100英里。你说在那段时间里,他们有过被别人爱护,也有过被别人本想捉起来的人。
啊!看,人们正在保护大自然,原来他们在保护每一个动物,不让他们灭绝,不让人们都看不到它的影子,不让它成为历史。每个人都在环保,把自己的垃圾放进垃圾桶,每年植物节都来种树,给动物们更多的家,更多的空间。
人类与动物让它们团结不是更好吗?让他们成为人类的好朋友,知心朋友,在你烦恼时让动物给你增添快乐,有时你们去草地玩耍,不停的奔跑,把什麽都忘掉,只顾着奔跑。
我们的好朋友永远都是动物们,无论是多麽凶险的动物,它们也是我们的好朋友,我们不会忘记,你们是我们永远的好朋友,是我们永远的希望。

The chickens are hairy and lovely. A yellow feather like wrapped in a golden dress. The chicken has a pair of pointed little mouth. The round eyes are quite spiritual when they look at people.

I dont see their ears, but chickens cant have ears. If there were no ears, how could they lean on our heads when we walked by?
妈妈说,刚孵出的小鸡还只能吃小米粒,不能吃谷子或玉米,还要经常给它们喝水。要是有小虫子给它们吃,它们一定会长得更神气。
Mother said, the newly hatched chickens can only eat small grains of rice, can not eat millet or corn, but also often give them water. If they had worms, they would have grown stronger.

+ 加入清单今天,我见到了几个在我们这,不常见的鸟类。今天,天气很好,经过昨天的雨,空气也更加清新了,天也更蓝了。早上,我早早的起来了,来到窗前,做了个深呼吸,感觉清醒多了。
我在窗前站了一会,欣赏欣赏风景,突然,传来几声鸟叫,接着,从树上飞下来依次飞下来两只鸟,定睛一看,原来是两只啄木鸟,要知道,在我们这个地方,这种鸟可是不容易见到的。这只啄木鸟有着又长又尖的嘴巴,头和脖子是棕色的,下半身是黑白相间的,很是漂亮。只见,那只鸟在左边看看,又往右边瞧瞧,着急的寻找着食物。
就在这时,又飞来一个鸽子,这只鸽子全身都是灰色的,也掺着一点白色的羽毛,也十分漂亮。可这只鸽子悠闲地踱着步子,好像胸有成竹,能在啄木鸟之前找到食物,一点也不着急。啄木鸟见鸽子这样,很是不解,便停了下来,侧着身,歪着头,不解的看着鸽子,可鸽子并不理它,照样悠闲地踱着步子。啄木鸟见他还是这样,便不再理他,继续寻找着食物,就这样,功夫不负有心人,啄木鸟找到了吃的,正要享受,有一个人正好从旁边经过,吓得他叼起食物就走,一走脖子还一前一后的好玩极了,我看得十分投入。
这时,鸽子看到啄木鸟先找到了,很不乐意,上去就要抢那个吃的,啄木鸟知道了,立马叼着食物要走,鸽子在后面紧追不舍,这追着追着,就追到了路上,让一个人看见了,就径直走过来,想要抓住他们,还好,他们俩发现了那个人的意图,吓得立马丢下食物,慌忙而逃,他们可能飞到了另一个地方,找吃的去了。

全文共 1362 字
+ 加入清单地球上的居民们:你们好!
据有幸飞上太空的宇航员介绍,他们在天际遨游时遥望地球,映入眼帘的是一个晶莹的球体,上面蓝色和白色的纹痕相互交错,周围裹着一层薄薄的水蓝色的“纱衣”。
但是,地球上的居民们却不曾知道这个美丽壮观的星球,正遭受着怎样的破坏和严重的威胁。
据资料统计,地球上有23%的耕地受到破坏。有许多哺乳类动物和鸟类濒临灭绝,四分之一的人因此得了各种疾病。所以,保护动物是很重要的。现在有许多动物在一瞬间就会奇迹般消失,这都是因为人们平时的行为造成的。所以保护动物就要从身边的一点一滴做起。近些年,一些不法商贩为了达到自己的经济利益,大肆捕杀动物,造成动物的食物链中断,动物之间的生态失去了平衡,有些动物开始寻找新的食物链,人类就成了它们生存下去的牺牲品。没有了动物,植物的食物链也遭到破坏,人类的食物链也会中断,长此以往,就构成地球上的恶性循环,降临在动物身上的命运终究会降临在人类身上。要知道,家园只有一个,地球不能克隆!
醒悟吧!地球上的居民们,让我们携起手来,用行动保卫家园,用热血浇灌地球。保护人类的朋友——最无辜的小动物,创造最和谐的动物家园,让世界的角角落落每一天都生机勃勃,焕发光彩,充满活力!
人类是生存在这个地球上的生命物种之一,我们在爱自己同类的同时,也应该尊重其他生命,善意对待和爱护我们身边的小动物。
每个人在一生之中,都会与各种生命相遇:小猫、小狗、小兔子、小乌龟……这些小动物是我们的伙伴、朋友,甚至家人。每一个有爱心的人,懂得生命意义的人,都会知道怎么善意关爱自己的伙伴。
被挖掉眼球的小狗、被汽油烧焦的小猫、被恶意投毒而死的动物……当这一桩桩骇人听闻的残害动物的事件不断发生时,我心里总有说不出的沉痛,我想这是任何一个有良知、有爱心、有正义感的人所不能容忍的事情。
虽然大多数人珍视身边动物带给我们的爱和友情,但是仍有人不负责任地抛弃他们的宠物,甚至虐待它们,于是才有了这一只只的流浪动物。
绝大部分城市流浪动物的生存状况令人十分堪忧:它们被遗忘在角落的生命,不受重视;它们身体遭受病痛的折磨;它们无时无刻不在忍受着残疾带来的痛苦;它们承受未绝育带来的生殖繁育风险,小宝宝一出生就面临着巨大的死亡危机;它们经常要面对酷暑、严寒和饥饿,四处寻找躲藏之处;它们时刻面临着各种危险,每一刻都有可能惨死在街边;它们甚至还要面对一小部分人为满足自己变态的心理而做出的种种虐待和伤害……
残酷的生存环境、悲惨的生活遭遇,使得我们身边的这些伙伴的生命凋零……
真正的爱是对弱者或蒙难者发自内心的悲悯和关怀,是不假思索伸出的援救之手。在此,我郑重呼吁各界尊重生命、关爱生命的有识之士:
1. 尊重生命,尊重动物,不吝啬自己的爱心;
2. 无论自己的宠物年老、体弱、生病还是残疾,都不放弃、不抛弃它们;
3. 保证动物不受饥渴、伤害和疾病威胁;
4. 保证动物有一定的自由,让它们生活无所恐惧,能自由表达天性;
5. 有能力和条件的人,对流浪动物进行有责任感的收养、领养、寄养;
6. 依法合理、人道的利用动物;
7. 不从非法商贩处购买伴侣动物;
8. 不虐待、不伤害流浪动物;
9. 将“关爱生命,善待动物”的理念传播给身边的每一个人。
相信我们一点点的爱心和所做的这些简单的事情,就能够让那些还在外面流浪的小动物们重新获得一个温暖的家。

动物和人类应该是好朋友,可为什么动物会和人类为敌呢?是因为人类没有把动物发在眼里。比如奶牛。人类用奶牛生产奶牛,可等奶牛没有奶的时候,人类就会把奶牛残忍地杀死。奶牛没奶时,不会将它放生吗?奶牛也是一条活生生的生命啊!近几年的“鼠疫、艾滋病、疯牛病、禽流感”,这些都是动物们奋起反击的预兆呀!难道人类还要打第三次世界大战吗?我们的祖先就是高级动物呀!如果人类再不制止这种滥杀动物的行为,是对我们的地区母亲沉重的打击呀!
我们现在不要再破坏动物的家园,这样动物们就可以安心繁殖后代。朋友们,还动物们一片蔚蓝的天空,让小鸟自由地飞翔;给动物一片绿草地,让牛羊欢快地奔跑;还动物一片汪洋,让动物无忧无虑地畅游海洋之中。也许,这样可以安抚动物们受伤的心灵。动物原本不坏,只是人类破坏它们的家园,这些只是它们对人类的“报复”而已。

篇15:保护鲨鱼的英语作文
全文共 7064 字
+ 加入清单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?

+ 加入清单一天,我和妈妈去菜场买菜,刚走到菜场门口,就听见了“卖青蛙喽,卖青蛙喽……”的叫卖声,我寻声走去,只见一位老爷爷正在大声吆喝着。他身旁摆放着一个大大的竹篓,里面装着一只只活蹦乱跳的青蛙。这时,有一位叔叔走过来买青蛙,于是,老爷爷就从竹篓中迅速捉出一只又肥又大的青蛙,青蛙在他手中拼命挣扎着,还发出“呱呱”的惨叫,好像在说:“请你放了我吧,求求你了!”可是老爷爷只当没听见,反而捏得更紧了,只见他拿起一把锋利的剪刀向青蛙的头剪去,只听“咔嚓”一声,于是惨不忍睹的画面出现在我的眼前:青蛙的头掉了下来。看着这血淋淋的场面,我真是感到痛心啊!
青蛙可是捉害虫的能手啊!它常常蹲在小河边、稻田里、草丛中……,青蛙捉害虫时一双灵活透亮的大眼睛凝视着前方,严密地注意着周围的动静。飞虫在空中穿梭地飞来飞去,青蛙装作没看见似的,等害虫飞得低一点时,它就猛地一蹬后腿,纵身一跃,张开大嘴把带有粘液的舌头往外一伸,飞虫就粘在了它的舌头上,百发百中,呑掉害虫后,青蛙就一本正经地等着,好像什么事都没有发生过。
青蛙不但是捉害虫的能手,还是庄稼的“保护神”呢!它专门捕食蚊虫、苍蝇、蛾子等害虫。青蛙一天大约能吃50只害虫,一年就能吃好多万只害虫呢。青蛙的幼虫——蝌蚪,一天能吃100只孑孓,可见,它的本领也不小哦!如果人们把青蛙全部捕杀了,人们就只能用农药来杀灭害虫,我们吃了被农药喷洒过的粮食、蔬菜后,就会得病,难怪人们说:“蛙满塘,谷满仓”啊!
保护青蛙,就能保护庄稼,让我们一起来保护“捕虫能手”——青蛙吧!

+ 加入清单有许多人因为能挣钱就随便捕捉青蛙,青蛙体大肉肥,味道鲜美而且还非常有营养,就有人到市场上卖,我感到非常痛心,我也无能为力,只好默默的为青蛙祝福。
青蛙被称为“除害高手”青蛙的又叫田鸡,蛙类大约有4800种,绝大部分生活在水中,也有生活在雨林潮湿环境的树上的。卵产于水中,青蛙是卵生的,卵孵化成蝌蚪,蝌蚪在水里也能捉害虫,等的卵都在水里,一只蝌蚪每天要吃掉100多只孑孓,最后才变成青蛙。它可以捕捉害虫,蚊子、苍蝇、小飞蛾、蝗虫、蝼蛄、椿象、蝇类及稻飞虱等农业害虫为主要食物。都可以吃。在南方有许多人捕捉青蛙,在北方就少一些。一只青蛙一分钟能吃10只,一只青蛙一天捕食的害虫,少则五六十只,多则二百只,如此推算,一只青蛙一年至少要吃掉15000只。因此,青蛙是当之无愧的农田卫士。
保护我们的“除害高手”——青蛙吧!
