| Put 2 February in your diary! It is World Wetlands Day! This special day was first celebrated in 1997 and it is celebrated every year. The celebration is a call for action. It is a way to show people how important and useful the wetlands are for humans. On World Wetlands Day, people around the world take part in many wetlands activities. Children draw pictures to advertise the day. People get together to clean up their local wetlands. Wetlands help protect nature and fresh water. In wetlands, there are many small animals such as lizards, frogs, dragonflies and butterflies. They play an important part in keeping the balance of nature. All plants and animals are part of the food chain (食物链). If the small, wetland animals die, some other animals in the food chain will have nothing to eat. They will also die. People need the wetland to keep the balance of nature in the world. If we don"t protect nature today, it will be gone tomorrow. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The leaders (***) of 13 countries had a big meeting in St Petersburg, Russia from November 21 to 24, 2010. The meeting was about tigers.

| Some things happen that we can not stop. We can not stop the power of the nature. For example, a flood comes when there is too much water on the land. Sometimes, it can come after a big storm when too much rain falls on the land. Sometimes, it can come after a big rainstorm out at sea where too much sea water comes onto the land. Fast moving flood water can hurt us. They can also hurt our homes. We cannot stop a flood from coming, but we can try to stop the water from coming into our homes. We can try to stop the water by making a wall with sandbags. Sometimes, the sandbags help stop the water. Sometimes, they don"t. An earthquake happens where the land moves. The land goes up and down and all around. The land shakes. We can get hurt by things that fall down in an earthquake. Falling things can start fires. We can not stop an earthquake from coming. We can try to make our houses strong so that they will not fall down in an earthquake.  A tornado is fast air that goes around and around over the land. A tornado can pick up everything. It can break anything that is in the way. A Typhoon is a big storm with fast moving wind and rain. It begins out at sea and can come onto the land. Its fast winds can hurt us and our homes. We cannot stop the power of the nature, but we can go to places where we will feel safe.
