Tapescript:
Nam: Good morning. I’d like to introduce Dr Steve Logan – an environmental expert
with a lot of experience in biodiversity conservation. He’ll talk about the
importance of ecosystems at our environmental club’s meeting. Please welcome,
Dr Logan.
Mr Logan: Thank you, Nam. As you know, an ecosystem includes living and non-living
things, and each of them plays an important role. A healthy ecosystem brings
many benefits, such as cleaning our air and water, providing food and
controlling climate changes.
But human activities are damaging our planet’s biodiversity. Half of our coral
reefs have disappeared and it’s believed that 90% of the world coral reefs will
die by 2050 due to warming oceans and pollution. We’ve cut down one third of
the world’s forests to make space for farming or houses. As a result, many
animals and plants have lost their habitats, and many species are disappearing.
Nam: So people are destroying the balance of local ecosystems, aren’t they? But this
in turn will affect human life.
Mr Logan: That’s right. One day we may not have fresh air to breathe or water to use. This
may happen if we damage the fine balance among all living and non-living things in the
ecosystems. As species disappear, the food chain may break down. We may run out of food,
suffer from health problems and face more natural disasters. So what can we do to
restore ecosystems?
