Nowadays people are more aware that wildlife all over the world is in danger. Many species of animals are threatened, and could easily become extinct if we do not an effort to protect them. There are many reasons for this. some cases, animals are hunted for their fur or for other parts of their bodies. Some birds, such as parrots, are caught alive and sold as a pet. For many animals and birds, the problem is that their habitat - the place where they live - disappearing. More land is used for farms, for houses or industry, and there is fewer open space than there once were.

The Koala
We're leaving Australia soon and we've just met that well-known symbol of Australian wildlife, the koala. I've always called them koala bears, but they are a member the marsupial family.
They are only two centimeters when they first come into the world and spend the first six months living in their mother's pouch before moving on to her back for a further six months.
They live eucalyptus leaves, which they eat huge amounts of, up to 1 kilogram a day. One benefit of this diet is that they rarely need to water as they get enough from these leaves. They can live for up to 15 years in the wild and as long as 20 years when cared for in zoos or nature reserves.
Unfortunately, as more of these eucalyptus trees are cut down, we are seeing a fall in number of koalas.

Finding a balance between work and family life is important for a healthy and happy lifestyle. Leisure activities provide an opportunity to bond with your family, create beautiful memories, and strengthen your relationships. Some families fancy outdoor activities like snowboarding or be fond of staying in a resort for relaxing while others may prefer DIY activities.
Participating in do-it-yourself (DIY) with family is a popular activity in the leisure time recently. DIY is the activity of making, repairing or decorating things in the home yourself, instead of paying somebody to do it. DIY allows you to develop your creativity and work together to create something unique.
One popular DIY is making bracelets together. Using a bracelet-making kit, you can create beautiful accessories. Follow the instructions and use colorful beads, strings, and charms to design unique bracelets and family members can wear them. Another DIY activity that is keen on is origami. Origami was developed by the Japanese about a thousand years ago, but its root was in China. With just a sheet of paper and some techniques, you can fold beautiful paper figures and shapes. Origami is fun for both children and adults.
