Race to save world's rarest wolf
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7715693.stm
My reaction:
The news is about an Africa wolf-Ethiopia wolf that is becoming endanger species. The reason could be considered as two parts: Diseases and human's immigration.
First, since Africa had been explored by the European, what they brought were not only money and plants but also the diseases and pollution. Those people who started farming or pasturage, brought along the domestic dogs with them as a guild dog. However, the dog might carry a disease that merely be found among dogs: Rabies. The disease wildly spread over the area that the wolves had no antibody to protect against the virus. Eventually, the number of the wolves dramatically declined.
Second, this reason could relate to the former one. Because of the immigration, the natural balance was broken down as human had occupied the land and then dispensed the animals. When the pray became less, so did the wolves.
As a result, we have the responsibility for saving them. Thus, there is an organisation called Wild CRV-Wildlife Conservation Unit of Oxford University that raised a campaign which helps the animals by injecting vaccines. Therefore, it could solve the crisis temporally. They still have to track and find them out in such a large continent; that’s the problem which has confused them. (200 words)
