You travel all over the world,/giving talks about
the conservation of nature.Do you have any comment?
Jane:
Yes,/we humans must understand/that wild animals have the right to live.They need wild places.Besides,/there are some kinds of living things/that we must
not destroy.Many drugs for human diseases/come from plants and insects.When we destroy a wild area,/maybe we are destroying the
cure for cancer/without knowing it.
Ken:
I see.
Jane:
Everything in nature is connected.Plants and animals make up a whole pattern of
life.If we destroy that pattern,/all kinds of things can go wrong.
Ken:
Could you say more about that?
Jane:
Sure.One time in England,/rabbits were destroying farmers’ grain.The farmers killed the rabbits.Then foxes didn’t have enough to eat/and they started
killing the farmers’ chickens.The farmers then killed the foxes,/and rats quickly increased in number/and destroyed
just as much grain/as the rabbits had
eaten.We humans are in danger of destroying our environment/and ourselves along with it.
