Have you read this article about the great apes in central Africa ? |
Teddy |
No, I hadn't got round to reading the paper yet. |
Walter |
Well it seems that their numbers are declining rapidly. One or two
species could be on the brink of
extinction. |
Teddy |
I knew that gorillas and chimpanzees were under threat, but I didn't
know it was that bad. |
Walter |
Well it is. One of the main problems is the increase in the human
population in the areas where the great apes live. |
Teddy |
So humans are gradually destroying their natural habitat. |
Walter |
Exactly and slowly driving them towards extinction. |
