Let’s save polar bear
Will Iredale said the polar bears have gotten in the trouble. Nowadays the ice land where polar bears live is getting melted. So the polar bear has to swim a long distance. Actually the polar bear has good ability to swim. In spite of that fact, the distance is too far. As you know, the sea is wild waves, rain storm, and strong winds. So, he said, it’s easy to see dead bodies on the sea surface when you visit the Arctic.

I think we should save the polar bear. They live on the Earth the same as we do. If the polar bears can’t live on the earth, eventually we won’t be able to live in our planet. That’s why we should make an environment in which polar bears can live.

At first, nature has some balances such as food chain. If the polar bear disappeared, somehow nature’s balance would have trouble. For instance, one town has too many wolves, and sometimes they ate domestic animals, such as chickens and cows. So the residents had decided to kill the wolves, and they kill all of them. After that a number of deer had been extremely increased. And deer gave farms damages to get food. We can see some fact in this story. The food chain is very important and not only the only the food chain, but also all of nature’s balance. I think polar bears’ dying is not nature’s work. Man made this happen. That’s why we should save the polar bear to keep natures’ balance

Second, polar bears are a living thing the same as humans. I think saving polar-bears doesn’t require reasons. Living things should be respected, humans have the responsibility to help creatures in the world, because we, somehow, live using them. We should have partnership with creatures on the Earth.

At last, we should think about why the ice shelf is melting. It’s not only for polar bears but also for mankind. The greenhouse effect causes ice shelf melting. Damage of the Ozone layer causes the greenhouse effect. We should protect the Ozone layer; if the Ozone layer disappeared we couldn’t live under the Sun. moreover, if the South pole and the North pole’s ice melted, land would be covered by water. So, making a good environment for the polar bear is for us as well.

Somebody could say, whether polar bears are dead or alive is not their business. However we should get eyes which can see more widely and be predictive. Saving the polar bear is also saving us. I am sure if the polar bear cannot live, finally, humans couldn’t live as well. For all of these reasons we should save polar bear and protect our environment.
