초급 시사영어 독해 - How Animals Are Helping Fight Climate Change

오늘의 영어 리딩

Many animals are helping humans fight climate change. Some animals can help us learn about the environment and find ways to protect it. For example, bees are very important because they help plants grow. When bees pollinate flowers, they help produce fruits and vegetables. Without bees, many food sources will disappear.

Another example is whales. Whales are big animals that live in the ocean. They help keep the ocean healthy. When whales swim, they create movement in the water. This helps the ocean stay full of oxygen. Also, the waste from whales helps tiny sea animals grow, which is good for the ocean's health.

Scientists are studying these animals to learn how they can help us fight climate change. They believe that protecting animals means protecting the environment. If we take care of animals, they can help us take care of the planet. Everyone can help by saving water, planting trees, and not wasting energy. Animals and nature are all connected, and taking care of one helps the other.
