appearance to the lowland gorilla, but there are subtle differences in their
dimensions. Cross-River gorillas live in a region populated by many humans
who have encroached upon the gorilla’s territory by clearing forests for timber
and to create fields for agriculture and livestock. Poaching occurs in the forests
as well, and the loss of even a few of these gorillas has a detrimental effect on
such a small population. (Source: worldwildlife.org)

Dear fellow citizens of the Earth in 2020. My name is Cameron. I’m writing this letter Click or tap here to enter text.
from 2070. I hope you make an opinion about the future. You may change it!
There are great things about the future. We have hover boards to move around fast.
The best thing about them is that they don’t need to be charged. They use solar energy,
so they charge by themselves while moving around. Actually, none of the devices we
use every day has to be charged using wires. That couldn’t be possible in 2020.
However, we use swimsuits to go to the beach because of sea pollution. People from
the past would wear nice bikinis and shorts at the beach. Our swimsuits are horrible!
We have to be all covered when we get into the sea. The oceans used to be a balanced
ecosystem but now, many marine species are extinct.
On the other hand, we eat very healthy. There is a soup made out of spirulina which is
very tasty. It is a super food because it has a lot of protein. People used to eat a lot of
beef and hamburgers by 2020. Hamburgers might be great, but now we don’t get to
eat them because they are incredibly expensive!
I have told you a few things about 2070. What do you think? Do you like it? The future
is in your hands now. You could leave it the same, make it worse or much better!
