Module 6 Animals in Danger Wildlife protection is to protect human oneself! Many animals are being endangered or at the edge of disappearance. The following four species are the most endangered animals in the world.Today white elephants are very rare. The white elephant is a native of Southeast Asia—Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. The last white elephant in Burma was seen in 1961. Elephants represent power and peace. To Americans, a white elephant is a metaphor( 隐 喻 )for a worthless object. To the people of Thailand, a white elephant is regarded as sacred(神圣的).The Tibetan antelope is prized for the fur around its throat. Experts guess that there are 75,000 to 100,000 Tibetan antelopes left and that as many as 20,000 a year are killed in China alone. There are five species of rhinos, two African species and three Asian species. The African species are the white and black rhinos. Both species have two horns. Asian rhinos each have one horn. Rhinos rank among the most endangered species on Earth. Valued for their horns, they face a serious threat from poaching. Chinese scientists find it hard to explain how the population of David's deer, known as Milu deer among Chinese, bounced back after dying out in China. The Dafeng Nature Reserve in Jiangsu Province introduced 64 David's deer in 1993 and 1994, and the population has grown to 450 today.开启快乐学习之旅地球上的各种生命相互依赖、共生共存。动物和植物是人类的朋友,濒危动植物更是一种珍贵的、不可再生的自然资源,保护它们就是保护我们人类自己,我们不能等到一个物种从地球上彻底消失以后才明白它的真正价值,那时就悔之晚矣!模块核心素养导航Module 6 Animals in Danger SectionⅠ Introduction & Reading and SpeakingⅠ.重点单词1.poacher n. 盗猎者;偷猎者2.antelope n.
