5. How does the writer feel about modem life How do you know
He visited to observe Tibetan antelopes.
In the 1980s and 1990s the antelope population dropped by more than 50%, as they were shot by hunters for profit.
People volunteered to watch over the antelopes day and night to protect them. Bridges and gates were built to help them move around safely.
"National protection"means something is protected across the whole country, and it is illegal to harm it.
The writer thinks modern life goes against nature, because he says we must change the way we live if we really want to protect wildlife and the planet.

(Implied).
Suggested but not

Strategy Practice: Literal vs. Implied
Strategy Practice: Literal vs. Implied
Strategy Practice:Find the Clue
When they first saw the antelopes,they were very far away.
We should not buy goods made from endangered animals.
Human activities are threatening animals and plants.
The Tibetan antelopeis not an endangered species now.
Implied by "we can just make out a herd of graceful animals".
I
Implied by "They were being hunted, illegally, for their valuable fur"and "Hunters were shooting antelopes to make profits".
I
Implied by "The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants"and"the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared".
I
The same meaning as "in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list".
