 11.9.09 Block C ** Saving the ** **Pinta Island Tortoise **

By: Irene Lee

**In the world there is a lot of rare animals. However this, Pinta Island Tortoise is very extinct because there is the only one left in the world. If Lonesome George dies, there would no more Pinta Island Tortoise and Lonesome George would be the last Pinta Island Tortoise in the world for us to see. We should come up with ****ideas to protect Lonesome George.

Lonesome George got its name because Lonesome George is the only one left in the planet Earth. So the people who take care of him thinks that he is very lonely because he is the only one left.t ****he cause of Lonesome George to be alone, is that, a lot of people started to kill turtles for their meat even though it was against the law. However, George has not been killed because he was the pet of someone (again against the law). Then, some people found Lonesome George and gave him to the Charles Darwin Research Station. So he has been able to live as the last Pinta Island Tortoise. There isn’t much time to preserve the Pinta Island Tortoise because Pinta Island Tortoise live to 80 years old and Lonesome George is now 70 years. Maybe he is the last Pinta Island Tortoise we could see. ** 

**There are three ways to the Pinta Island Tortoise. First, we should protect the Earth by not cutting all the trees because if there is no more trees Pinta Island Tortoise have nothing to eat. We shouldn't litter because harmful chemicals might be eaten by animals in Pinta Island and pollute the water and air.

Second, we should help by giving a mate that is the closest tortoise to the Pinta Island Tortoise. I also think that we should give him a mate. But it wouldn’t be a true Pinta Island Tortoise, only some of the tiny looks or how George acts will be in the tiny baby tortoises.

Last of all, we should preserve the land that Pinta Island Tortoises use to live on because if we don’t there will be no where for the new-if can-Pinta Island Tortoises. I wish that there is no such things as an animal being alone like Lonesome George. ** 

**There are more types of animals like Lonesome George that we should try to save like; Baiji (Yangtze River Dolphin) in China or the Vancouver Island Marmot in Vancouver Island. More and more people should realize what is happening to these animals and come up with solutions. **
