1970 was "World Conservation Year". The UN wanted everyone to know
that the world was in danger - they hoped that governments would act quickly
in order to conserve nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time
there were 1,300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only
remain 860. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and the water, and everything that grows and
lives here. We can't live without these things. If it continues like this, we shall
destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask "What
must we do now?" The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow
are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary.
Many are helping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across
rivers in forests, and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group
of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometers of their river. Young people may
hear about conservation through a record called NO ONE'S GOING TO
CHANGE OUR WORLD. It was made by the Beatles and other singers. The
money from it will help to conserve wild animals.
