Guessing game
I live in the sea.
I have sharp teeth and I don’t have bones.
I have grey skin and I am very fierce.
The wool can be made into luxury shahtoosh (Persian for ‘king of wools’), which can be sold more than $15,000!
They have the finest and warmest hair in the animal kingdom.
So more and more poachers appeared. The killings made the Tibetan antelopes at the risk of extinction.
The Tibetan antelope was an endangered animal, but because of human’s protection, its numbers are now recovering.

Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted, illegally, for their valuable fur.
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make profits. Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.
In order to save this species from extinction, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The measures were effective.
The threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.

I agree that we must try and live in harmony with nature in order to save our planet.
I think what we must do is to realise that we are part of nature and not separate from it. We can't survive without it and so when we damage it, we literally damage ourselves. Therefore, I think education is very important to change how we relate to nature.
The writer says that we must change our way of life and learn to live in harmony with nature in order to save our planet.
