Hi everyone:
Today, I will like to introduce a special species “pink dolphin”.
The pink dolphin is the common name of two different species of dolphin the Chinese White Dolphin and Amazon River Dolphin.Their skin color will change by their age. The baby dolphin skin color is black, young dolphin is grey color, the adult is white or pink.The pink color is their blood vessels for thermoregulation.The special pink dolphin population is along the Chinese coast. The pink dolphin is an endangered species in Taiwan because they only have around the 100 pink dolphins left in Taiwan west coast.
Why the pink dolphins are endangered species?
- The water pollution (the west cost of Taiwan have a lot of factor which make a lot of the water pollution)
- Rreclamation ground which change the pink dolphin living environment because they use to swim around the shallow water and the sandy beach.
- Because the shipping and fishing is very busy between the west coast of Taiwan and China, therefore there are some of them hit by boat.
How to save the pink dolphins?
- Taiwan government should make of the factor in the west to reduce their water pollution.
- Taiwan government should stop the people to take ground water anymore because it makes the coast line draw back and will destroy the pink dolphin’s living environment.

I will like to introduce the Formosan Black Bear. Many people know about the Panda and black eye bear from China and which the China government spend a lot of budget every year to protect them. However, the other endanger species Formosan Black Bear isn’t as luck as the Panda, the Taiwan government doesn’t spend as much as money for their protection project.
The Formosan Black Bear is the unique Bear which is only found in Taiwan. It’s a very special bear than other one. The Formosan Black Bear has a special V white shape in front of their chest. The Formosan Black Bear can crawl up trees and it is the only bear that can make a nest. This is the video the Formosa Bear
Why the Formosan Black Bear is endangering in Asia? There are three main reasons:
1. Their living environment is changed,
2. Chinese people hunting bear because people use the Bear gall bladder for medication.
3. Some people eat bear palm because they believe it can make them strong.
This is one of the video that Russia police find the Chinese smuggling Bear palm to Russia.
I think all the Chinese people need to reeducate themselves that there are alternatives in terms of medication and to stop hunting down these bears.

Hi everyone:
We all know most of the reasons cause the animal endangered because their living environment was changed by human expand population which make many kind of the pollution. Moreover, the one of the reason unforgettable reason is hunting other species for themselves profit.
Japan hunting the whale and the dolphin’s history already has 400 years. Every year Sep 1 is their fish hunting season which wills continuants for six month longer. They use the sound to disturbed the dolphin force them to the bay and kill the dolphin. Every year, there is around twenty thousand dolphin and thousand of the pilot whale was killed in six month. Most of them will be sale to the restrant for the sashimi. Before people hunting the dolphin and whale is because they need food. However, Japan is one of the richest country in the world they still hunt them to make themselves to be rich. Their government tries to ignore the problem. However, the World Society for the Protection of Animals, WSPA and other people make this documentary to fight for it which is very difficult to make, it has been through many of problem and pressure by the Japan local people, and the Japan government.
There is the video which is part of the documentary
Documentary puts focus on Japan dolphin hunt
How should we do?
- We can stop eat the sashimi which is made by the whale and dolphin meat.
- We can stop buy any product which is make with the whale oil and dolphin.

Hi everyone:
Every time when we think about the endangered species, the first in our maid might be the tiger, bear, and the dolphin. However, there are other specie needs us to save such as the tree.
