To Zhaxi, the land is sacred and (protect) the wildlife isa way of life. “Were not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, were trying tosave (we).”The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The populationdropped more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to makeprofits. Their habitats were becoming (small) as new roads and railwayswere built.In order to save this species from (extinct), the Chinese governmentplaced under national protection.

The antelope population has recoveredand in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope (remove) from the endangeredspecies list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protectionprogrammes, the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars.

How else could you describe a creature has the face of a horse,the hoofs of a cow, the antlers of a red deer, the tail of a donkey?The history of the species is nearly as strange as its body. The milu deer used to becommon in China long ago. other deer, they lived together and ate grass aswell as the soft parts of trees, such as small (branch). However, milu deerwere often hunted food or sport in the past. The Ming and Qing dynastiesdid not protect them and many (kill). In 1900, the milu deer disappearedfrom China.However, all the deer were killed in China, some were taken toEurope. The Duke of Bedford from Britain collected all the milu deer from Europe andput (they) in his deer park. The deer liked the cool, wet weather in England,their numbers increased year by year. In 1985, 20 milu deer werereintroduced from Britain China and placed in the Beijing Nanhaizi MiluPark in southern Beiing. The next year herd of 39 arrived from the UK tothe Dafeng Milu Nature Reserve in Jiangsu Province.The milu deer certainly seemed happy to be back in China because their numbersstarted to grow (steady). There were soon many of them that64 milu deer were sent to a newly (open) reserve in Shishou, HubeiProvince Beijing in the 1990s. They can move freely in the reserve, feedentirely wild plants, and continue to (safe) thrive.4At the moment, the milu deer are still living in reserves they are beingprotected and cared . As a result, their population is now recovering fast.Soon a new chapter will be added the strange tale of these special animals.The deer (train) to survive outside the park so that they can one day allreturn to the wild.

In addition visitors from the wild, suchas coyotes ( 丛 林狼 ) in Los Angeles, or boars (野 猪) in Berlin, largenumber of other species share our urban areas. As our cities spread, we need to thinkabout it is like for other species to have human neighbors.Because cities are built for humans, they do not always provide (suit)habitats for wildlife. For example, most city parks (keep) neat and tidy sothat humans will find (they) beautiful. But when we cut grass or plantflowers, we destroy (nature) habitats.Our actions sometimes help other species. When a bridge in Austin, Texas wasrepaired, engineers added small gaps (run) along the length of its bottom.This made good home for bats, and soon the bridge was the home ofthousands of bats. At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get ridthem. Now, they have come (value) their winged neighbors.The bats are a (tour) attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.There are also structures built the objective of bringing wildlife intothe city. The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used nativeplants and created open, natural spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijingover 160 species of birds. In many ways, the park is oppositeof a zoo. Instead of (keep) in cages, wildlife can move about freely.example is a 2011 proposal for a tall “Birdscraper” building in NewYork. The building is intended to protect birds and fight (pollute) at the6same time. It would be in the middle of a lake, birds would sit on it, and their droppingswould fall into the water. The droppings would feed water plants wouldthen create oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用).we learn to share our space, we can become better neighbors to thewildlife around us. If we do not, more species will become extinct and our own futurewill (endanger).7学科网（北京）股份有限公司
