　　In many countries today, laws protect wildlife. In India the need for such protection was realized centuries ago. About 300 B. C. an Indian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today. The killing of game beasts was carefully watched and directed. Some animals were fully protected. Within the forest, nobody was allowed to cut timber (木材), bum wood for charcoal (炭), or trap (设陷阱捕获) animals for their furs. Animals that became dangerous to human visitors were trapped or killed outside the park, so that other animals would not become uneasy.

　　The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before. About a thousand species (=sorts) of animals are in danger of extinction (灭绝), and the rate at which they are being destroyed has increased. With mammals (哺乳动物), for example, the rate of extinction is now about one kind every year; from A. D. 1 to 1800, the rate was about one species every fifty years. Everywhere, men are trying to solve the problem of protecting wildlife while caring for the world’s growing population.
