Project: the table

Imagine that you are doing a project on what wild animals teenagers know most of all about. You have found some data on the subject — the results of the opinion polls (see the table below).

It goes without saying that the problem of expanding knowledge about wildlife has been widely discussed recently When I was doing a project on what wild animals teenagers know most of all about, I found the results of an opinion poll. While analysing this information, I came across some interesting facts. In this essay I will describe my findings and express my opinion on the subject of the project.

According to the statistics presented in the table, modern teenagers are familiar with a fairly wide range of wild species. The majority of the questioned (30%) cited a wolf as an animal they know most of all about. Furthermore the information about a tiger or an elephant is not so widespread among teenagers and was named by only 9% and 14% of the repondents respectively.

Studying the table thoroughly, one can see that the data about a bear is slightly more popular than about a fox (27% and 20% respectively. The percentages do not differ a lot because bears and foxes find their habitat in Zetland, so it is natural many teenagers here know about these animals.

Whie working on the project, I highlighted some problems connected with wild animals. The main problem, to my mind, is that many wild species are endangered or even critically endangered due to many complex factors destroying the environment. The extinction of various species can affect food chains and lead to further destruction of the ecology. The best solution to this problem is to involve more people in conservation projects aimed at protecting wildlife.

In conclusion I am thoroughly convinced that wild animals are an indispensable part of an unspoilt environment, and that is why people must learn more about them in order to coexist with them as well as protect them.
