2.Reindeer are a kind of deer which live in the Arctic(北極的)area.But their habitats(棲息地)are being taken over by people.Cutting down trees and building roads have driven many reindeer out of areas in the US,Canada,and Russia. To make thins worse,the Arctic is slowly heating up.The area now often gets freezing rain instead of snow,which makes it harder for reindeer to get their food.If tey can't find their food,they will have nothing to eat but to starve (餓)to death.
That's bad news for native people in the area too.They rely on reindeer for food; clothing,and transportation.
Reindeer also play a y role in the Arctic food chain.Fewer reindeer can mean less food for animals such as wolves.
Government leaders in the US recently took action to help reindeer.They approved(批準(zhǔn))a plan to protect parts of Alaska where the animals live.
"Reindeer are a symbol of the North,"says wildlife expert Justina Ray."If we take care of them,we'll be taking care of other Arctic animals too."
