My interest in wildlife and rainforests began at an early age. When my parents introduced me to nature books and magazines, I was 1 by the pictures of strange animals living in distant lands. As I got older, my mother and father 2 my learning by taking me on trips to other countries. Therefore, I could see wildlife first hand. I grew to 3 appreciate places of natural beauty and 4 the environment around me.
Over the years I have seen many beautiful 5 and met many wonderful people. I have swum with sea lions in the Galapagos Islands, 6 lemurs (狐猴)sing and dance in Madagascar, and had many other amazing 7. I have also become increasingly aware of the changes 8 by human activities. Some of the special places I so 9 are no longer around today. My inspiration to protect rainforests comes from a particular 10 in the rainforest of Borneo when an area of11 was destroyed by loggers (伐木工).
Today I 12 a great deal of time reading, writing, traveling to rainforests, and talking with scientists doing research on them. My 13 is to raise awareness, interest, and appreciation of wild-lands like rainforests. It is not too 14 to save these special places and I hope that my work will someday inspire people to make a 15in the world around them.
