It has been more than 40 years since anyone has found a Japanese river otter. It is just one of the animals that have been listed as extinct(灭绝) or locally extinct in recent years. But the development of technology could mean that the extinction of other animals is not likely to take place.
A huge challenge scientists face is watching endangered animals in order to help them. This is where artificial intelligence (Al) has brought a turning point in the way information on these animals is collected and studied. The Maui dolphin is one of the most valuable and endangered dolphins in the ocean. With a collection of their summer behavior facts, researchers knew that there were just 54 of these mysterious animals living off the coast of New Zealand. However, because of weather conditions, researchers know almost nothing about their winter behavior. After four years of developing and testing, these scientists were able to use a drone(无人机) with AI to watch the dolphins no matter the season. The result was more wild areas provided for them to live.
In Zambia's Kafue National Park, home to more than 6,000 elephants, AI is being used to enhance traditional methods of preventing hunting. Cameras record any boats that try to enter the park. AI immediately notices this activity and warns park guards, who deal with the hunters.
In Brazil, AI quickly studied over 150,000 satellite pictures, discovering that the world's largest wetland has lost 74 percent of its surface water, Not until that discoveries did governments realize how serious the situation was. The use of AI has helped to speed action and increase our ability to protect the natural world for the future to come.

Last year, I visited my friend Peter that lived in Melbourne. We went to watch the horse race after one of his {#blank#}3{#/blank#} gave him two tickets. When we arrived there, the number of people really surprised me. Peter told me all the people in Melbourne have a day {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and that schools and most businesses are closed on Melbourne Cup Day. At the scene(现场), we also saw a lot of women wearing beautiful hats and dresses.
What we liked most was certainly the horse race itself, It started at 3 pm and every rider had to try his best to keep the horse energetic in the 3, 200-me tre race.
