Why are they in danger?As far as I know,there are many endangered animals in the world,such as tigers.Some people cut down trees,so there are few places for wild animals to live in.And many animals are killed by people who want to make money.We human beings could not live without plants and animals around us.So protecting wild animals is very important.We must take measures to protect them from now on!First,set up some nature reserves to let the wild animals live in.Second,call on people to stop hunting for the wild animals.Third,protect the habitats of the animals.We all hope that there will be a lot more forests and wild animals in the future.
