It is hunting too much that has greatly affected the number of wild animals. As a result,
some animals have died out and others are in danger. Fortunately, our government has
paid attention to the situation and has taken a series of measures. A series of laws has also
come into effect. I believe that we will succeed in preventing the situation from getting
worse.
