（1）Warming up by learning about wildlife

Wildlife is all non-domesticated plants, animals, and other living things. Domesticated wildlife are plants, animals, and other living things that have been removed from nature and raised in an environment that is more or less controlled. Domestication, act of taming, or controlling, wild plant and animal species and producing them for human benefit, is performed often and has an impact on the environment, both positive and negative.

⑵

Warming up by talking about key threats to wildlife

Many animals are threatened by human actions. But what are the key threats to them? Key Threats to Wildlife 1. Habitat Loss —

Because our population is growing and our cities are sprawling into the countryside, fewer natural wildlife habitat areas are left each year.

2. Climate Change —

Because many types of plants and animals have specific habitat requirements, climate change could cause disastrous losses of wildlife species in China.

3. Pesticides and Toxic Chemicals —

Pesticides are deliberately spread to make the environment toxic to certain plants, insects or rodents, so it shouldn't be surprising that other plants and wildlife are often harmed at the same time.

Warming up by watching a video clip about wildlife protection 2. Pre-reading by talking about wildlife preservation In some countries, protected areas, wildlife preserves or national parks have been set up to protect wildlife and their natural habitat. The most prominent of these are listed as World Heritage Sites or Biosphere Reserves by the UNESCO. The establishment of parks has been motivated by a mixture of environmentalism, tourism, and other factors. Some of these parks merely prevent development of the land, while still allowing limited hunting and fishing as a population control measure. Others forbid hunting or fishing and some may also limit the number or type of tourist excursions. Wildlife crossings have been installed at some roads to reverse habitat fragmentation
