Activity 3
I: I feel very lucky indeed to have Dr. Bradshaw with us today. He works on protecting
animals in danger. At present, he is in a rhino protecting programme.
B: Yes, many animals are illegally hunted for something they have. In the rhino's case, it is
their horns. Some people think it is useful in medicine.
(I=Interviewer B=Dr. Bradshaw)
I: How can we stop this from happening
B: Well, the first step is education -- we need to make everyone know hunting these animals
is illegal and that these amazing animals are part of the world we live in.
I: How long do we have before rhinos become extinct
B: If we don’t do something now, there will be no rhinos left in the world in 20 years.
I: That’s an incredibly urgent matter...

知识拓展
A Sand County Almanac(《沙乡年鉴》又译为《沙乡的沉思》): It is a 1949 non-fiction book. Describing the land around the author’s home in Sauk County, Wisconsin, the collection of essays advocate Leopold's idea of a “land ethic(土地道德)”, or a responsible relationship existing between people and the land they inhabit.
The book is considered a landmark in the American conservation movement. A Sand County Almanac is a combination of natural history, scene painting with words, and philosophy.
It is perhaps best known for the following quote, which defines his land ethic: “A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.”
