　　When making decisions about land use, some say that human should come before animal needs in any case. While I agree that human needs should have primary consideration, humans have a responsibility to protect the land of animals.

　　Animals adapt very slowly to environment changes. Many endangered animals can only live in one place, or live in some specific type of area, while humans, on the other hand, can adapt quickly to the changing and hostile environment. For instance, if people need to live in a very dry place, they can use technology to locate and drill water, or build pipelines to bring water in from outside. The residents in Xinjiang province dug underground tunnels hundreds of kilometers long to carry water to oasis towns such as Turpan. Because humans are more flexible while many animals are not, people should make an effort to use up all available spaces before encroaching upon the habitats of animals.
