Task 1

Read the text carefully!

Indonesia has a lot of forests. The forests are very numerous. They are in Sumatera, Java, kalimantan, Sulawesi, Papua and in some other islands. We can find a large number of plants and animals in their forests. Therefore, many foreigners make a study of our forests. They want to study about the Indonesian plants and animals.

Some of the animals are monkeys, tigers, elephants, wild bulls, bears, rhinoceroses, etc. these are wild animals. We can find them in some forests in our country. If we don’t want to go to the forests, we can see them in the zoo. Nowadays, the number of the wild animals becomes smaller because people like to hunt them down. Our government is very concerned about this matter, that’s why some animals are protected.

Animals that are protected by the government are the rhinoceroses, elephants, bulls, orangutan, sumateran tiger, comodos, peacocks, cendrawasihs, etc. our government built games reservation to product them. The government also constitutes hunting laws to reduce animal’s killings. We should help the government so that the animals will no be extinguished.
