Giúp em bài tập về nhà Tiếng Anh lớp 12 câu hỏi như sau: Every summer, three billion birds of some 300 species-songbirds, waterbirds, and many others migrate from northern Africa to Europe and Asia. In the winter, THEY return to Africa’s warmer shores. As they travel from one place to another, they navigate using the sun, the stars, smells, and land forms to help them find their way. Both large and small birds travel thousands of kilometers, often stopping at locations along the way to rest.
The birds migration is long and difficult, and some of the animals INEVITABLY die during each trip. However, it is not this twice-a-year journey that poses the greatest risk to these animals. The main threat to the birds survival comes from human hunters. All over the Mediterranean, millions of migrating birds are killed for food, profit, and sport every year. As a result, bird populations are dropping all over the region. In nations along the Mediterranean, many migratory birds are illegally trapped or shot. In addition to traps, hunters also use electronic calls to catch birds. This tool, which a hunter can operate from a cell phone, mimics bird sounds and is very effective in attracting the animals so effective that in some countries, bird populations have PLUMMETTED.
Countries all over the Mediterranean are aware that bird populations are in danger, and many are working to address this problem. In the European Union, hunting migratory birds is illegal in some countries, while in others, it is strictly controlled – the birds can only be hunted at a certain time of year. This hasn’t completely stopped bird poaching in Europe, but more nature-protection groups are making sure that laws are obeyed.
Across the Mediterranean, another group – Nature Conservation Egypt – is working to increase protection of its country’s natural scenery and wildlife, including its migratory birds. As part of a current project, the organization is trying to promote activities such as eco-tourism along the coasts. Wildlife organizations around the Mediterranean are helping to bring about change. Hunting bans are working, says Martin Schneider-Jacoby, a bird specialist for the German organization EuroNatur. But there is still more to do. Conservationists hope to stop hunting and restore bird habitats all over the Mediterranean. If this can be done, the birds numbers will increase. There’s a long way to go, Schneider-Jacoby says, but like an Oasis in the desert after a long journey, there is hope.
