- Ayaka:
- Nowadays, various species are disappearing. Which species are you worried about, Daisuke?
- Daisuke:
- I’m worried about gorillas. Many of them have lost their homes.
- Ayaka:
- Why does that happen?
- Daisuke:
- The forests where gorillas live are rich in rare earth. Rare earth is often used for our smartphones. To get the materials, people have been cutting down the forests.
- Ayaka:
- That’s terrible. How about you, Nancy?
- Nancy:
- My concern is coral reefs. About 50% of them have died in the last 30 years.
- Ayaka:
- Can you tell me why?
- Nancy:
- Well, the major reason is that the temperature of seawater is rising. This is caused by global warming.
- Ayaka:
- That’s too bad. We have to find something we can do.
