In today's world of modern science and medicine, a more traditional treatment (治疗) is once again becoming popular—— animal friendship.
It is now well-known that people with problems such as heart disease(疾病) or cancer(癌症) live longer and get better more quickly if they have pets. Keeping pets lowers (降低) blood pressure and makes people less worried. Animals are increasingly important in treating older people who have memory loss (失忆) and other brain problems. These people often feel nervous and upset. Activities with animals help them improve their physical condition and also give them happiness, and loving friendship.
Here is a case that shows the benefits (益处)of animals. John was a speech-impaired six-year-old boy. He had no physical problems. He just refused to talk. His older cousin, Ned, had a parrot (鹦鹉)called Sally, and John used to visit it. When he arrived, Ned used to say, "Hi, John!" We all know parrots copy what they hear. After a few visits, Sally began saying"Hi, John!" when John came into the room. Then, one day John turned to the parrot and replied, "Hi, Sally!" Saying with the parrot encouraged John to begin talking.
Another use of animal helpers is in schools. In some cases, animals are used to help children with physical or personal problems. In other cases, they are used to teach children to get on and share with others, and even to teach them about animals.
If you want to know more about animal helper programmes, you can get in touch with organizations like Riding for the Disabled or do research on the Internet. You don't have to be an animal trainer or a doctor to join in. You can work there as a volunteer. People there will welcome you.

Wetlands are important ecosystems on earth. They cover about 6% of the earth's land area, but they are home to about 40% of the world's plants and animals. Wetlands can be found in many places, from small ponds to large areas near rivers and lakes.
One of the most important jobs of wetlands is to clean water. Plants in wetlands help get rid of pollution and make the water clean. Wetlands can also help prevent floods. During heavy rains, wetlands store water like giant sponges. This helps reduce the risk of floods in nearby areas.
Wetlands are also home to many rare and endangered species. For example, the red-crowned crane lives in wetlands. Without wetlands, these animals would have no place to live and could die out.
However, wetlands are facing many problems. People are using wetland land for farms and buildings, which reduces the size of wetlands. Pollution from factories and homes also harms wetlands. We need to protect wetlands to keep our environment healthy.

Amur tigers, also known as Siberian tigers. They live in the forests in the northeastern China and Russian Far East. Unlike lions that live in groups, tigers live alone.

Amur tigers are in danger. They almost disappeared in the early 20th century because people killed them for their fur and bones. Sadly, only 40 were left in the wild at that time.

It's hard for Amur tigers to find food and move around.
In order to protect Amur tigers, countries and governments are setting up nature parks. Many people are working hard to save these tigers by stopping hunting and protecting their forests.
