<p>Giant Panda and lesser panda are endangered animals and they are ranked 4<sup>th</sup>.</p>
<p>So, in 2005, the Chinese government had established about 720 pandas to live in a protected habitat.</p>
<p>However, habitat destruction and poaching poses a threat to the many pandas living outside these areas.</p>
<p>Today, only around 980 pandas are under protection in reserves.</p>
<p>Now, the Chinese government works to increase panda’s population by increasing panda’s habitat and decreasing many threats to pandas.</p>

<p>Coral reefs live in tropical areas of clean oceans. Because of that we can see them in Okinawa in Japan.</p>
<p>Coral reefs are very beautiful. It is one of the reasons of beauty of the ocean on the earth.</p>
<p>But global warming and pollution of the oceans are threatening coral reefs. Destruction is increasing.</p>
<p>We must stop global warming and pollution of the ocean to save beautiful lives on the earth.</p>
<p>We can reduce the amount of CO2 exhausted by power saving or by decreasing automobile use to control global warming. Let’s start from today!</p>
