pupus dan terancam = 绝种与濒危

Tiga soalan ini menguji perbezaan antara haiwan pupus dengan haiwan terancam, serta punca sesuatu hidupan terancam. Harimau bergigi pedang sudah pupus. Penyu belimbing terancam kerana telurnya diambil. Pokok gaharu terancam kerana kayunya bernilai tinggi dan ditebang secara haram.

Contoh: Tapir Malaya masih wujud tetapi bilangannya sedikit, jadi ia terancam.

Awas: Jangan pilih punca yang tidak berkaitan dengan aktiviti manusia.

extinct and endangered = 绝种与濒危

These three questions test the difference between extinct and endangered animals, and the causes that threaten a living thing. The sabre-toothed cat is already extinct. The leatherback turtle is endangered because its eggs are taken. The agarwood tree is endangered because its wood is valuable and is cut down illegally.

Example: The Malayan tapir still exists but its number is small, so it is endangered.

Watch out: Do not choose causes that have nothing to do with human activities.

langkah pemuliharaan = 保护和复育的措施

Dua soalan ini tentang langkah memulihara. Pusat pemuliharaan bertujuan menambah bilangan haiwan terancam melalui pembiakan. Cara terbaik untuk mengurangkan sampah plastik di laut ialah mengurangkan penggunaan plastik dari sumbernya. Menanam semula pokok dan menubuhkan taman negara melindungi habitat.

Contoh: Membawa beg sendiri ketika membeli-belah mengurangkan sampah plastik.

Awas: Membina resort di hutan bukan cara untuk memelihara habitat.

conservation measures = 保护和复育的措施

These questions are about conservation measures. A conservation centre aims to increase the number of endangered animals through breeding. The best way to reduce plastic rubbish in the sea is to use less plastic at the source. Replanting trees and setting up national parks protect habitats.

Example: Bringing your own bag when shopping reduces plastic rubbish.

Watch out: Building a resort in the forest is not a way to preserve habitats.

haiwan purba = 史前动物

Mamot berbulu tebal, bertubuh besar seperti gajah dan mempunyai gading panjang yang melengkung. Harimau bergigi pedang ialah haiwan keluarga kucing yang mempunyai dua gigi taring panjang seperti pisau. Dinosaur ialah reptilia purba. Padankan ciri dalam penerangan dengan nama haiwan.

Contoh: Gading mamot yang melengkung membantunya menolak salji untuk mencari makanan.

Awas: Ketiga-tiga haiwan ini sudah pupus, jadi bezakan mengikut ciri badannya.

prehistoric animals = 史前动物

The mammoth had thick fur, a huge body like an elephant and long curved tusks. The sabre-toothed cat was a member of the cat family with two long canine teeth like knives. Dinosaurs were ancient reptiles. Match the features in each description with the name of the animal.

Example: The mammoth’s curved tusks helped it push snow aside to find food.

Watch out: All three animals are extinct, so tell them apart by their body features.

kesan pembangunan = 开发的后果

Hutan paya bakau ialah habitat dan sumber makanan bagi ketam, ikan, burung dan monyet. Apabila hutan ini ditebang, haiwan kehilangan tempat tinggal dan makanan. Pokok yang ditebang tidak lagi menghasilkan oksigen, dan pantai lebih mudah dihakis ombak. Nilai setiap kesan sama ada betul atau salah.

Contoh: Selepas paya bakau ditebang, monyet belanda tidak lagi mempunyai makanan.

Awas: Menebang pokok mengurangkan oksigen, bukan menambahnya.

effects of development = 开发的后果

Mangrove forests are the habitat and food source of crabs, fish, birds and monkeys. When the forest is cut down, the animals lose their homes and food. The felled trees no longer produce oxygen, and the coast is more easily eroded by waves. Judge whether each effect is right or wrong.

Example: After the mangroves are cut down, proboscis monkeys no longer have food.

Watch out: Cutting down trees reduces oxygen, it does not increase it.

status haiwan = 动物的生存状况

Badak sumbu Sumatera ialah badak terkecil yang berbulu. Badak terakhir di Malaysia mati pada tahun 2019, jadi ia sudah pupus di negara kita. Tapir Malaya berwarna hitam dan putih serta mempunyai muncung pendek. Ia masih wujud tetapi bilangannya sedikit, jadi ia terancam.

Contoh: Tapir muda berbelang dan bertompok, kemudian menjadi hitam putih apabila dewasa.

Awas: Pupus bermaksud tiada lagi, terancam bermaksud masih ada tetapi sedikit.

status of animals = 动物的生存状况

The Sumatran rhinoceros is the smallest rhinoceros and has hair. The last one in Malaysia died in 2019, so it is extinct in our country. The Malayan tapir is black and white and has a short snout. It still exists but its number is small, so it is endangered.

Example: A young tapir has stripes and spots, then turns black and white as an adult.

Watch out: Extinct means none are left, endangered means some remain but very few.

melindungi enggang = 保护犀鸟

Untuk melindungi burung enggang, kita perlu mengatasi punca ancamannya. Kita boleh mewartakan hutan simpan supaya habitatnya tidak ditebang, atau menguatkuasakan undang-undang terhadap orang yang menangkap dan menjualnya. Tulis satu cara dan terangkan bagaimana cara itu membantu.

Contoh: Hutan simpan memberi enggang pokok besar untuk bersarang dan buah untuk dimakan.

Awas: Cadangan mesti berkaitan dengan punca yang diberi.

protecting hornbills = 保护犀鸟

To protect hornbills, we must deal with the causes of the threat. We can gazette forest reserves so that their habitat is not cut down, or enforce laws against people who catch and sell them. Write one way and explain how it helps.

Example: A forest reserve gives hornbills big trees for nesting and fruit to eat.

Watch out: Your suggestion must be linked to the causes given.
