The proboscis monkey(长鼻猴) is a large primate endemic to the island of Borneo. It is named after the long, hanging nose present in males and spends most of its time living in the trees near mangrove forests or jungle streams. Due to the threat of deforestation in its tropical rainforest habitat, populations of the species are in decline and it is listed as Endangered.
长鼻猴是婆罗洲岛特有的大型灵长类动物，因雄性长鼻悬垂而得名。 大部分时间生活在红树林或丛林溪流附近的树上。由于其热带雨林栖息地受到砍伐森林的威胁，该物种的数量正在下降，已被列为濒危物种。
The dugong(儒艮) is one of four living species of the order Sirenia, which also includes three species of manatees. The dugong has been hunted for thousands of years for its meat and oil. Its current distribution is fragmented, and many populations are believed to be close to extinction.Dugongs have experienced rapid population collapse during recent decades and are now functionally extinct in China.
儒艮是海牛目（Sirenia）的四个现存物种之一，该目还包括三种海牛。数千年来，人们一直在猎杀儒艮，以获取其肉类和油脂。目前，儒艮的分布已经支离破碎，许多种群据信濒临灭绝。近几十年来，儒艮的数量迅速减少，目前在中国已功能性灭绝。

When it comes to wildlife protection, all species—the good, the bad, and the ugly—should be treated equally. Pandas, dolphins, and other cute wildlife are important, but we must pay attention to less cute animals, too. The world needs all kinds—without variety, our planet cannot survive. So if you want the future to be beautiful, you have to give ugly a chance.
谈到野生动物保护，所有物种——包括好的、坏的和丑的——都应受到平等对待。熊猫、海豚和其他可爱的野生动物很重要，但我们也必须关注那些不那么可爱的动物。世界需要万物，没有多样性，我们的地球就无法生存。所以如果你想让未来变得美丽，你必须给难看的动物一个机会。
Give Ugly a Chance!
给难看的动物一个机会！
Billions of trees are being cut down every year to make paper for humans. Every tree (that is cut down) is a part of the habitat of animals such as these koalas. In this way a lot of animal homes are being destroyed! Is it right to make animals homeless so that humans can have more paper
每年有数十亿棵树被砍伐，用于人类造纸。每一棵被砍倒的树都是这些树袋熊等动物栖息地的一部分。这样，很多动物的家都被摧毁了！让动物无家可归，人类能有更多的纸是对的吗？
Don’t Make Paper with My Home! 别用我的家来造纸！

Luckily, a plan is being carried out to increase the number of wild tigers. As for individuals, everyone can make contributions to protecting it! Please do not buy fur or other products! When the buying stops, the killing can too.

I’m one of the Yangtze River Dolphins. There are only 1,000 to 1,800 of us left. We lost our habitat because humans capture so many fishes and shrimps from our home that we are lack of food. Besides, the pollution is so serious that we can no longer live there.
Some human friends move the remaining of us to a clean and safe habitat. Is it right to take away our home Do clean up the rivers!
