Threatened Species

Everyday we cut down trees,

never realising what harm we cause.

Animals have nowhere to go,

and to save them we are too slow.

Koalas never escape the tragedy they face,

as though, in the world they will never have their place.

Young or old,

they always get sold.

Cute and cunning is the Aru flying fox,

and of them, we used to have many “camps”.

Now they are in danger,

and to them, we act like a stranger.

Our forests are pretty,

away from the city.

We need to keep them conserved,

so for the new generation, must it be preserved.
