Экологи полагают,
что журавль в небе лучше,
чем синица в руках.

"WHO ARE WE? THE FRIENDS OR THE ENEMIES OF THE PLANET?"

 

The pollution of the world's ocean is the result of man's careless interaction with Nature, a sign of ecological crises. Today it supports a wealth simple and complex sea life. But human beings ignore and misunderstand the importance of oceans. Some factories produce liquid wastes and dump them into rivers and lakes. This problem includes oil pollution which causes great damage to coasts and wild life.

People have always affected Nature. But during the last two centuries due to the development of industry human has transformed the environment radically. Satellite observations of the Earth have revealed that sixty per cent of land surface is damaged by industrial and other human activities. The world has over nine million square kilometers of forests. There are a lot of trees and also a lot of different species of trees among them. But they are disappearing fast. Every day we see paper and cardboard have been made from wood. We see different kinds of wood which are used for furniture and others. Every year over one hundred square kilometers of forest is so badly damaged that it is hard foe it to recover. At this rate in fifty years all territory of forests on the Earth will be destroyed.

Animals are only food and fur for many people. Fur is still a part of the way of life. Fur trade is one of the oldest businesses in the world. Fur is a symbol of luxury wealth and success. For others it's a cruel and stupid business. The industry gets fur and in two ways. The first way is getting them from trappers who set traps to catch and kill wild animals. The second one is getting fur and food from farmers. They keep animals in special farms and then kill them. It is very cruel.
