Dear friends，

Please allow me to make a speech about Protect the Endangered Animals.

Some animals are facing extinction nowadays. Their species and numbers are declining, which is concerning. There are many factors contributing to the current situation. Firstly, human activities like cutting down trees or building factories or houses are destroying animals' habitats. Secondly, to seek profits, many animals are killed. Lastly, global warming is also a real threat. What is vital and urgent is that we should take measures to protect the endangered animals. We should protect the forests and try to live a low­carbon life to reduce the air pollution. Let's act and many hands make light work.

That's all I want to say about this point. Thanks for your listening.

Nowadays giant pandas are in danger of being extinct, which concerns everyone.The reasons are as follows. Firstly, some habitats have been destroyed as a consequence of human activities. Secondly, the climate is becoming warmer. The good news is that people have raised the awareness of protecting them. I think we should try our best to protect their habitats.
