Many rare species are threatened with extinction because of the greed of hunters and game collectors. Orangutans are rarely found in their natural habitat in the forest of Kalimantan and Sumatra, but one may find them in zoos and private menageries all over the world. Ruthless hunters kill innocent elephants for their valuable ivory tusks, or catch them alive to perform in distant countries. If things are allowed to continue this way, it is feared that very soon all wild life will disappear from our forests. Fortunately, the government has now imposed strict laws on hunting. Some areas are designated wild life reserves where hunters cannot enter. These include Ujungkulon and Pangandaran in West Java, Merubetiri in East Java, and many more in the other island. Some time ago our newspapers contained reports of elephants which had run amok in the province of Lampung. They had emerged from their abode in the forest and destroyed crops and houses belonging to the villagers. The people could not understand why the beast had suddenly gone wild. The strange thing was that the animals had not

come for food, because having wrought destruction thay returned to the forest. They seemed to have come only to vent their anger. As elephants are protected by law, the people could not kill any of them. The explanation for the eleephants' strange behavior is that they felt their quiet life had been disturbed by the timberfeelling projects and sawmillsset up deep in the forest. the animals felt their domain was being narowwed by man, and so they got angry. Elephants need peace and quiet for they family life. They also need vast areas of land In which to roam. They live in herds, and each herd likes to have its won territory. Now the government has driven the elephants back into the forest, away from any village or lumber-mill. By shouting and shooting in the air the people drove the great beasts to a new adobe in the districtof Air Sugihan. It is hoped that they will feel at home there, and can live in peace and quiet. The main idea of the first paragraph is.... A. we can find orangutans in zoos B. elephants are hunted for their skin C. hunters are not allowed to kill orangutans D. the cause of worrying the plight of wild life in our country E. rare species of animals are also likely to extinct.
