Papas Pear Saga

Papas Pear Saga is a game pears that are shaped like balls and you have to get them in the bucket. When the bucket changes colour that means that you have got it in the bucket. You have to throw your ball in any direction and then watch as the pear grabs bonuses and prizes. When you have completed the level you get extra points.

You have to go threw all the obstacles to get to the bucket.
This game is very fun and I like it.

Conservation

All over the world animals are becoming endangered. That is because people are killing the animals and using them for goods. That means there will come a time where there would be no more animals left in the world and that is where conservation comes in.

Conservation means to protect endangered plant and animal species and their habitats. Among the goals of wildlife conservation is to ensure that nature will be around for future generations to enjoy and to recognize the importance of wildlife and wilderness lands to human.

Secondly if we don't look after Nature and its wildlife nothing in the world would be alive. Because of that there is a life form. For instance, plants produce the oxygen that we need to breathe. The life of a plant relies on pollen carried by insects and minerals found in animal carcasses. In other words, the earth has many life forms whose lives depend on one another. This is called biodiversity. When an animal or other life form becomes extinct, it breaks its link with other life forms, and threatens our lives as well.
