they friendly? Are they cruel?
Jane: They are usually friendly with each other,
but they can be cruel, just like humans.

Kenji Now let's turn to the topic of the
environment. You travel all over the world, giving
talks about the conservation of nature.
Do you
have any comment?

Jane: Yes, we humans must understand that wild s

animals have the right to live. They need wild
places. Besides, for our own good, there are some
~自身のために
kinds of living things that we must not destroy.

Everything in nature is connected. Plants
and animals make up a whole pattern of life. If we 15
destroy that pattern all kinds of things can go
wrong.

rabbits by giving them a disease. Then foxes didn't

Kenji: So, are you worried about our future?
Jane: Yes, I am. But my hope lies in young people.
~にある
Once they know about environmental

problems,
they want to solve them. That's why I decided to
start Roots & Shoots.

Kenji What's that?
それは何ですか。
Jane Well, it began with a group of high school
~から始まる
students in Tanzania in 1991. It is called Roots &
Shoots, because roots can work their way through
なぜなら
rocks to reach water. And shoots, though they are
tiny, can break through a wall to reach the sunlight.
乗りこえる
The rocks and wall are the problems humans have
caused to our earth.

Kenji: So it's a kind of club for young people?
Jane That's right. We now have groups all over
the world and each group chooses three projects:
one to help people, one to help animals, one to help
the environment. The world is a better place when
you cause a sad person to smile, when you make a
dog wag its tail, or when you give water to a thirsty
