Sloths（树懒）mainly live in the rainforests and they are one of the most slow-moving animals in the world.They spend most of their time in the trees.
Sloths are in great danger，as people keep cutting down trees in the rainforests to make room for farms，buildings and roads.For sloths，the loss of just one tree can be a big problem.For one thing，they are losing their homes；for another，they meet great difficulties moving between trees to find food.When there are gaps between trees，sloths can't jump from tree to tree like monkeys.So they have to climb down to the ground to reach another tree.But that puts them in danger.Some may get injured（受伤的）by other animals.Some baby sloths are left behind.That's why The Sloth Institute（TSI）comes to help!
TSI works to help the injured sloths back to health.As for baby sloths，they can go to"sloth school".And the school helps them to return to the wild.They have a lot to learn：how to find food，where to sleep and how to climb trees safely.

33. Boys and girls,
Snow leopards are our friends, but how much do you learn about them Snow leopards live in the mountains of Central and South Asia. They mainly feed on sheep, rabbits and other small animals. People kill them for their fur, cut down the forests and make them have no safe places to live, so snow leopards are in danger. Snow leopards are our friends. We should do something to protect them. First, we can help people learn more about snow leopards and we can also raise money. Second, we can set up more nature parks.
Let's do something to make a difference!
