                                                  A problem for our wildlife
Despite the best efforts of conservation groups and their campaigns, the world’s population of many species, including African elephants, tigers and seals, is still decreasing. It is people’s increasing need for land and resources, along with hunting and fishing, which are responsible for this rapid decline in wildlife. Exotic mammals such as big cats are threatened the most, but even common birds and insects in many parts of the world are in danger of dying out forever. According to a report by the World Wildlife Fund and the Zoological Society of London, wildlife populations around the world have been reduced by 52 per cent on average since 1970 CE.

1 Read the beginning of this article about Ibn Rushd.

Ibn Rushd was a famous Islamic polymath who was born in Cordoba, Al-Andalus, in
the twelfth century. During his lifetime, he was widely known and respected for his
teaching and his books. Even now, nearly nine hundred years after his birth, he is still
remembered as a great scholar, scientist and writer. In fact, he is even remembered
in space because scientists named an asteroid (that’s a rock which orbits the
sun) after him, in honour of his great contributions to astronomy.
