Unit 2, Lesson 4, Ex. 3b

Have you ever visited Belarus? Mother Nature gave Belarus beautiful blue lakes, thick forests and many species of animals and plants. There are 111 species of trees and about 12,000 species of plants and mushrooms in Belarus. There are fir and pine wood trees, oaks and ash- trees in Belarusian forests. Some oaks in Belovezhskaya Pushcha are from 300 to 700 years old.

More than 30,000 species of animals live in the wilds of our country: elks, wild boars, deer, wolves, hares and beavers. You’ll never forget meeting a herd of European bison. This animal is one of the symbols of Belarus. Unfortunately, people have always killed wild animals uncontrollably, so many of them are in danger now. There are also about 60 species of fish and 30 species of birds in our republic. Belarusian lakes are rich in fish, especially Lake Naroch, where you can find eel, trout and pike. There are practically no dangerous snakes in Belarus.

Have you ever been to our national parks? In Pripyatsky National Park you can see 200 moss species!

Welcome to our beautiful blue-eyed country! You will fall in love with our nature.

He’s rescued three baby gorillas from poachers recently. And even now you can’t find him at home – he’s gone to Belarus again. Uncle Andrew wants to go bird-watching there.
