In many countries today, laws protect wildlife. In India, the need for such protection was realized centuries ago. About 300 B.C,  1  Indian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today. The killing of game beasts was carefully supervised（监管）. Some animals were fully protected.  2  the forest, nobody was allowed to cut timber, burn wood for charcoal,  3  catch animals for their furs. Animals  4  became dangerous to human visitors were caught or killed outside the park, so that other animals would not become uneasy.

The need for wildlife protection is  5  now than ever before. About a thousand species of animals are  6  danger of dying out, and the rate at which  7  are being destroyed has increased.  8 we took no measures to protect wildlife, some day our children would see no living creatures except man himself.
