答案：Many wild animals are in danger now. People cut down forests to create more farmland and buildings, so wild animals are losing their living areas and can't find enough food. Besides, people hunt them for their fur or bones, so their population is getting smaller and smaller.
Our group will make and put up posters to tell more people the importance of wildlife protection, and we will do volunteer work at the local wildlife reserve on weekends. If you join us, you can learn lots of knowledge about wild animals, make friends with people who share the same interest, and do your part to help these poor animals.
