　　This all changed in the 16th century when Portuguese(葡萄牙的)sailors first arrived on the island．The birds were so trusting and slow that the sailors called them “dodo”, which means “a stupid person” in Portuguese．Thousands were killed and eaten, and soon the dodo became an important source of food for all passing ships．Very quickly, the number of dodos started to fall．

　　By 1681, only(200 years after people first set foot on Mauritius, the last dodo had died．The greedy and selfishness of people had destroyed their peaceful lifestyle．The bird which was given the name “stupid”, is now a symbol for the stupidity of human beings．

　　The dodo only lived on a small island in the Indian Ocean centuries ago．When Portuguese sailors got there in the 16th century, they killed a great many dodos easily for food．By 1681, the dodo disappeared completely．

　　As we all know, animals are our friends and we should live in harmony with them．However, the greedy and selfish people are trying to destroy their peaceful life．Some people cut too many trees, destroying some animals’ home．Some people kill them for food．Moreover, some people kill them just for fur and skin．I do hope that the government can take more measures to protect them as soon as possible．Laws must be made to prevent people from destroying the forest．Whoever kills wildlife should be punished．What’s more, all of us should be aware of the importance of protecting wildlife．It is very important for us to make friends with wild animals and protect them well, because to protect wildlife is to protect ourselves．
