Animals



People love animals. But some of the world's animals are in danger of extinction. Shark's fin soup is a favourite in many restaurants. Chimpanzee and whale meat are popular with some people.

Another big problem is the destruction of the rainoforests. The number of animals in some species is now very small and they may not exist at all for much longer.
The Worldwide Fun for Nature is an international organization.
It looks at all aspects of conservation including animals, plants, forestry and control of pollution.
Animals born in Britain are now back in the Congo and Gabon in Africa.

This
