Endangered animals refer to...

​animals that may become extinct in the near future.

Are the following animals endangered?

​People hunt tigers for their skins. Therefore there are very few left in the wild.

Tigers will become extinct unless we stop buying products made from tiger skins.

​People hunt rhinos for their horns. Therefore there are very few left in the wild.

Rhinos will become extinct unless we stop buying products made from their horns.

​People kill sharks for their fins. Therefore there are very few left in the sea.

Sharks will become extinct unless we stop eating shark fin soup.

We should treasure the natural environment and the endangered animals.

• We use 'therefore' to show the result of an action.

e.g. People hunt sharks to make shark fins soup.

Therefore there are very few left in the sea.

• We use 'unless' to express a condition.

e.g. Sharks will become extinct unless people stop eating shark fin soup.
