What etrffi f;"Hebfitets?

lJabitats are the places where plants and animals live They are all around us

- on the land, in the water, in the city and in the countryside Habitats can be

large, like woodlands and farmlands, or small, like ponds and hedgerows.

Some animals live in really tiny places, like the space between sand grains!

What is fuapperning?

In the UK alone, there are about 37,000 different species of animals and 65,000

different species of plants Sadly, though, over the last 100 years more than 170

plant and animd species have completely disappeared.

Today, about 1 5% of all British wildlife is still at risk, especially animals such

as the otter and the brown hare Unless we do something to help, things will

only get worse.

The main reason why some types of plants and animals are becoming

endangered species is that their habitats are lost or have changed Animals

like moths, birds and bats have lost their homes as people have cut down

ihe hedgerows they Iive in Also, a lot of ponds are no longer suitable for

ihe animals and plants to live in because they are polluted, or people have

We need to save many species of endangered British wildlife from

extinction before it is too late You can help by supporting environmental

groups like the Environment Agency that are working to protect our rare

n,ildlife and habitats from the danger of disappearing forever You can even

create a small wildlife habitat yourself, by making a pond at school or in

What are pesticides?

A'pest' is any living thing that harms crop groMh, carriesdisease or causes damage Some rnethods of pestcontrol are natural, but other methods use chemicalscalled pesticides Fly spray, rat poison and similar thingsyou may use in everyday life are all pesticides

Why do we need pesticides?

Farmers use pesticides to protect crops from insects,diseases and weeds while they are growing They alsoprevent rats and mice, flies and other insects fromcontaminating foods when they are stored

Pesticides help us control ants and cockroaches in ourhomes and destroy mites and ticks Pesticides in woodand wool rnake our furniture and clothes last longer

Why are people concerned about the use ofpesticides?

Pesticides can be useful, but they can also harm people,wildlife and the environment This is why there are strictcontrols over their sale and use

Many people object to their use because pesticidescan contaminate our drinking water and cause healthproblems

Some of the most commonly used pesticides are toxic

to animals and humans and large amounts make us ill

They can give us headaches and stomach ache,damage our skin, hair and nails, and lead to weightloss Experts believe that some of them can even causecancer
