Environmental Protection
Some hundreds of years ago people lived in harmony with nature, because industry was not much developed. Today, however, the contradictions between man and nature are dramatic.
The twenty first century is a century of the scientific and technological progress. Ecology and the contamination of environment, is concerned with climate, over-population in certain areas, deaths of plant and animals, chemical contamination of seas, lakes and rivers . There are many consequences of damaging the environment. One of them is acid rain. Another one is water shortage resulting from abuse of arable lands in agriculture. The third one is destroying the ozone layer of the Earth through pollution from factories and plants. The fourth problem is damage o water and soils. The fifth one is damage to wildlife: numerous species of animals and plants can disappear. At last, the most serious danger arising from damaging the environment is the result of the abovementioned consequences. This is the danger for the life and health of the man. The protection of natural resources and wildlife is becoming a political programme in every country. the environmental problems have grown beyond the concern of a single country. Their solution requires the co-operation of all nations.

We all have favourite animals or pets and we do care about their well-being. Each person who has a pet should take a good care of it. In my opinion, animals should be always well-fed, sheltered and kept in comfort. They deserve it, as they are good friends of ours.

As for my family we have several pets and we look carefully after them. At the country house we have a number of chickens and rabbits. That was my grandma’s idea and we didn’t mind. Our rabbits have recently had babies and I should say they were adorable. We had to call for a vet though, as one of the babies was born limp.

At our flat we keep two cats and a parrot. I know they don’t like each other, but we try to keep them separately.

Speaking about animal on global level, we know that there is an increasing problem of wild animal extinction nowadays. It’s happening for various reasons. First of all, it’s the environment pollution which takes place over the last centuries due to human irrational behavior. Secondly, some species are hunted for their valuable body parts, such as fur, tusks, skin, caviar, etc. Thirdly, there is a problem of natural habitat loss. One of such examples is deforestation.

And, finally, there is a problem of caging animals, for example, in zoos. Luckily, there are many animal protecting organizations today which fight for their welfare. I’m sure with the decent amount of medical help, nutrition and shelter many animals will be saved even those which are prone to extinction.
