1970 was World Conservation (保护) Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is 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 866 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and water, and everything that grows and lives. We can't live without these things. If we continue 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, 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, Cliff Richard and other singers.

Guinness Book of World Records is a world famous collection of world records in human life, including all specific skills.
How the book came out is an interesting story. On Nov. 10, 1951, an Englishman, Sir Beveagh, was having a discussion with his friends. They couldn't agree with each other whether the falcon(猎鹰) flew quickest among all the birds in Europe. And they failed to find the answer in any books. He knew that there must be many such problems in the world. Why not publish a useful book to provide the answers to all these problems?
In 1954, Beveagh decided to work for it. He asked for help from two friends who owned the information supply enter in London. They put together the first edition of Guinness Book of World Records in August, 1955. The book had only 197 pages, but it was a great success. It was well received by readers and immediately won the No. 1 bestseller in Britain.
The book of records has been renewed each year and has been bought and enjoyed in 141 countries around the world. The 262 editions and 35 languages it has used may be a record itself.
