【答案】The Pearl River is the third longest river in China. However，with the development of industry，its ecosystem has been badly damaged. Chemical waste is poured into the river without being dealt with，killing wildlife in the river. In addition，fishing boats catch large numbers of fish without giving them time to lay eggs.As a result，the number of fish in the river is on the decrease.
We live by the Pearl River. Many people rely on it for drinking water.The Pearl River is the rivers we depend on. It is time to take measures to save this great river.
On the one hand，we should let people know the importance of protecting it. On the other hand，better laws should be put in place to stop illegal hunting. What's more，nature reserves are to be set up to protect wildlife in the river.Only through these efforts can we protect the Pearl River.
