保护稀有物种

我们的生活方式对环境产生影响。环境是围绕在你周围的所有事物。遍及地球，人类以各种大大小小的方式改变着环境。我们砍伐树木来建造房屋。我们耕耘田地种植作物。我们将废弃物倒入河流、湖泊和海洋。我们用更大的渔网和更大的渔船捕捞大量的鱼类。像这样的活动影响着植物和动物，也影响着像土壤和水这样的东西。

有时，我们的行为使某种植物或动物的数量增多。例如，如果你在院子里种植玫瑰，那么在你的区域内玫瑰的数量就会增多。

我们的活动也可能导致植物和动物的数量减少。如果一个公园被改成了住宅楼，会发生什么？那么，那里原本的植物和动物要么死亡，要么迁移到其他地方。植物和动物的数量会减少。

污染和其他活动有时会使某个物种的数量变得如此之少，以至于它无法生存。一个即将灭绝的物种被称为濒危物种。
