A Sad World ! “ We Tibetan antelopes live a hard life at high altitude of Tibet . We are being killed only because the human beings have a fancy for our wool .”

“ We were a large group before the 1950s , we became endangered through over-hunting . Now about 30 of us are alive in the wild . Those in zoos lost their natural skills , such as hunting and killing .”

Food Shortage ! “ Where is our next meal ? My darling ! ”

Help ! “ I am Mrs Chimpanzee , a mother of two . Several days ago my husband and children were killed by the enemies . I got seriously ill . A volunteer for WWF came to help . I am feeling a little better now .”

World Wildlife Fund 基金 What is WWF ? WWF is an organization which works all over the world for wildlife protection .
