Danger! Humans!

Which is more dangerous: a shark, a chair or a person?

When an animal attacks a person, there are always stories about it on TV and in the newspapers. But people are usually more dangerous than animals. Every year, we kill approximately 100 million sharks, but sharks only attack three or four people, and crocodiles six or seven. More people die in accidents with chairs!

Animals aren't really a problem for people, but we are a problem for animals. We eat millions of tonnes of fish and meat every year. But people don't kill animals just for food. They also hunt them for fur or for fun. While you're reading this, people are hunting animals all over the world.

At the moment, animals are becoming extinct in every part of the world. The 'red list' of animals in danger in Kazakhstan includes species of horses, leopards, wild dogs, lynx, otter, bats and bears. We aren't killing all these animals directly, but they are dying and becoming extinct because of human behaviour. Our pollution and construction is changing the climate and animals' habitats, and time is running out for some animals. It's important to change our actions now and save the animals!

Our countryside
