Обобщение и систематизация знаний и способов деятельности.

I have a news, too. Listen to it and say what it is about. (включаю запись: Scientists have announced that a type of West African monkey, Miss Waldron’s red colobus, has probably become extinct. This large monkey is the first primate to vanish since the 19th century. Despite a series of searches conducted by anthropologists over a six-year period, no evidence of even one remaining monkey was found. Wildlife experts were unsurprised, as the last confirmed sighting of a Miss Waldron’s red colobus was over 20 years ago and it was listed as endangered back in 1988)

Thank you. You can see a picture of it on the screen.

Answer the questions:

1 Beaches are important for the loggerhead turtles to lay their eggs.

2 They find the beaches are crowded with tourists.

3 They can become volunteers with the Sea Turtle Protection Society or can check out the society’s website for more information.

How YOU can help to protect the sea turtles:

Keep the beaches clean. Don't throw plastic or nylon objects in the sea.

Switch off or cover bright lights which are visible from the nesting beach.

Don't dig out the nests. The sea turtles, the nests, their eggs and the hatchlings are protected by Greek law and international conventions.

Don't move nest signs or protective cages above the nests.

Don't touch the hatchlings. It is important that they find on their own their way to the sea.

Don't light fires at night on the nesting beaches.

Avoid using vehicles on the beach.

Avoid going very fast in a motor boat, close to a nesting beach.

Become a supporter of ARCHELON.

Become a volunteer on our summer projects in Zakynthos, Peloponnesus and Crete or at our Rescue Centre in Glyfada.

Polar Bears

The polar bear is an endangered species in Russia. It is a member of the bear family. It lives in the Artic region around the North Pole, which covers five countries: Russia, the United States(Alaska), Canada, Greenland, and Norway. It lives and hunts on the ice surrounding the

North Pole. In Russia, polar bears can be found in Siberia. There are about 20,000 in the world still in the wild. Polar bears are endangered

because their habitat is melting. In addition, they are under threat from illegal hunters who kill them for their valuable furs. Canada, the USA, Denmark, Norway and Russia have signed an agreement to protect them and their habitat.

Good-bye

There are many rare animals around the world. People hunt them and kill them for leather, meat and fur. Except of this, the natural habitat of rare animals is destroyed. So they can’t breed. We must protect them to keep these species for next generations…

We can plant trees, throw rubbish in the rubbish bins, reuse materials…

I like it.

Good-bye
