The ecological situation on the planet Earth is bad. Many species of birds and animals are in danger because of air, water and soil pollution. Many species of fish and plants are dying. We must do everything we can to reduce pollution of the environment. We should be friendly to Nature: plant flowers, collect rubbish for recycling, clean out ponds, rivers and lakes. We should try to preserve/to keep the animals’ natural habitats.
