- flowers and plants
Many people are interested in gardening. If someone is very good gardener, he/she is a greenfinger. Women like flowers, modern trend is to have natural garden-landscape garden(natural park with flowers, trees and bushes). In GB they have often hedges, we have fence.
The garden changes with seasons:
- spring- crocuses, primroses, snowflakes, daffodills…the nature Wales up after winter, trees have buds, they are in blossom-fruit trees estecially-apple tree, apricot tree, cherry tree, pear tree…
- summer – it is the best season of the zdar, many flowers bloom-roses, tulips, dahlias, peonies, carnations, gladiols, irises…; in medows tere are daisies, posies, dandelions…
- shrubs: lilac, wild rose, blackthorne…
- evergreen trees:pine, fir, larch…
- deciduous trees:poplar, elm, willow-tree, maple, oak, beech…
- conservation of wildlife
In the nature there exit many habitats which are neccessary for individual animal species(wood, field, watercourses, river, sea..). Problem is that these habitats are very often polluted and destroyed by man-grooves disappear, waters are polluted, people build new cities, routes, factories …I tis very important for present generation to conserve wildlife.
- animal killed for profit

- vivi-section
It is experimenting on animals. To some extect i tis necessary to experiment(medical). The trend is to minimize the numer of operations. Some cosmetic firms do not do this anymore-it is written on thein wrappers:not tested on animals. Laboratory animals-most used are mice, cats, monkeys, dogs, rabbits, pigs…
Cloning is experimenting with genes-the scientist have managed to produce a genetical identical shep(Dolly). We never knot these results, because these animals can develope some diseases.
- cruelty to animals
Many people want to have animals, but they do not know how treat to them. They are sometimes very cruel-even children. The attacks of dogs are results of maltreatment or they are provocked. The dog must be walked and trained. We have a law-if the animal is malteated, it can be taken away and the owner pay some sconce.
- zoos
Very often animals could not stay in small cages, because they are very stressful. Zoos try to open their spaces. Berger solution is a park(national)-the habitat is natural. Teh podest is Yellowstone national park.
