24. Group 1Group 2Group 3

25. 1.What are the main causes of extinction or endangerment? 2. How important is biodiversity for humans? → The main causes of extinction or endangerment are habitat destruction, commercial exploitation and pollution. → Biodiversity is important for humans as it provides food, clear air, water fertile soil and other products.

26. 3. What should we do to conserve endangered species? → To conserve endangered species, wild animals’ habitat mustn’t be destroyed. We should raise our awareness of conservations needs. Laws should be enacted to protect wildlife from commercial trade and overhunting.

27. Find the main idea of each paragraph.

28. II While you read Read the text then do the task follow. Endangered species are plant and animal species which are in danger of extinction, Over 8,300 plant species and 7,200 animal species around the globe are threatened with extinction, and many thousands more become extinct each year before biologists can identify them. The primary causes of species extinction are habitat destruction, commercial exploitation and pollution. The drainage of wetlands, cutting the forests, urbanization and road and dam construction have destroyed or seriously damaged natural habitats. Since the 1600s, world commercial exploitation of animals for food and other products has seriously reduced the number of rare species. Toxic chemicals in the air and land, contaminated water and increased water temperatures have also driven many species to the verge of extinction. Plant and animal extinction lead to loss of biodiversity. Maintaining biodiversity is important for us in many ways. For example, humans depend on species diversity to have food, clean air and water, and fertile soil for agriculture. In condition, we benefit greatly from the many medicines and other products that biodiversity provides. Different conservation efforts have been made in order to save endangered species. The Red List – animal global list of endangered and vulnerable animal species – has been introduced to raise people’s awareness of conservation needs. Governments have enacted laws to protect wildlife from commercial trade and overhunting. A number of wildlife habitat reserves have been established so that animal wide range of endangered species and have animal chance to survive and develop 1.
