People love animals. But some of the wold's animals are in danger of extinction. There are several reasons for this. In some parts of wold people collect rhino horn for use in medicine. Others carve ornaments for tourists from ivory from elephant tusks. Shark's fin soup is a favourite in many restaurants. Chimpanzee an whale meat are popular with some people.
Another big problem is the destruction of rainforests. This is removing the habitat of many animals , like these gorillas, birds and plants. The number of animals in some species is now very small and they may not exist at all for much longer.
The Worldwide Fund for Nature is an international organization. It started in Britian in 1961 and has now got a global networkin 90 countries.
