(2017·马鞍山一模)Simon Jackson is one of the few people to have seen the white spirit bear. These are fewer than 400 spirit bears in existence. All of them live in a coastal area of British Columbia. Their habitat is being reduced by human activity. In 2000, when Simon was 17, he was honoured in Times as one of 60 “Heroes of the Planet” for his efforts to save this endangered bear.

　　When Simon was seven, he set up a lemonade stand and raised $60 to protect grizzly bears. A few years later, Simon learned of the plight of the spirit bear in British Columbia. He tried to meet everyone he could think of who might

　　understand this issue. The more he learned, the more determined he was to save the wilderness that the spirit bear needs in order to survive.

　　During his Grade 9 year, he encouraged students and teachers to participate in a letter writing campaign. As a result, the government of British Columbia received more than 700 letters on this issue.

　　Later, Simon made it his duty to engage as many young people as possible. He started the Spirit Bear Youth Coalition,

　　which is now the largest youth­led environmental network in the world. It has more than 5 million members in more than 50 countries. The Coalition is devoted to promoting awareness of the spirit bear and the issues threatening its survival. Thanks to the work of the Coalition, about half of the spirit bear's habitat has been protected.
