Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 1 Animals in Danger Audio CD Pack
Andy Hopkins and Joc Potter
STAGE 1 - Factfiles
People love and need animals. They keep them in their homes and on their farms. They enjoy going to zoos, and watching animals on films and on TV. Little children love to play with toy animals.
But people are a great danger to animals too. They take their land, and cut down the trees where animals have their homes. They pollute the rivers and seas, and kill big animals for their skins or for medicine. Now there are about 7,000 species of animals in danger.
What can we do
to protect the animals of the world - from us?

Rowena Akinyemi
STAGE 2 - Factfiles
Deep rivers, tall trees, strange animals, beautiful flowers - this is the rainforest.

To some people the rainforests mean beautiful places that you can visit; to others they mean trees that they can cut down and sell.
Between 1950 and 2000 half of the world's rainforests disappeared. While you read these words, somewhere in the world people are
cutting down
rainforest trees. What are these wonderful places that we call rainforests - and is it too late to save them?
