- 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.//
