Fading Home for the Sugar Glider

for the Sugar Glider

By Ping, age 12

My drawing shows a sugar glider, one of Australia’s lovely native animals. It is stuck inside a tiny little piece of green forest. All around it are smoky factories and bare dead trees. Factories are polluting the air and destroying its home. Sugar gliders need trees to live, climb and find food. But their homes are disappearing because of human industry. I feel bad for these sweet little animals. I hope people can notice this problem. We should protect their forest homes and cut down pollution, so sugar gliders and other Australian wildlife can live safely and happily in the wild.
