Olympic Event The final event in the Olympics is the marathon.It is also usually the most exciting As the leader comes into the stadium to run the last few metres of the 42-kilometre race, the crowd rises to its feet to shout and cheer.The name of the race comes from a battle in Ancient Greece.According to the story, a soldier ran from the scene of the battle, Marathon, to Athens, to bring the news of a Greek victory against the Persians.He died just after arriving.The marathon has been an Olympic event Since the modern games started in 1896 At first the distance was 40 kilometres – the distance between Marathon and Athens.In 1908, however, at the London Olympics, it was changed The King of England wanted the runners to leave from his castle in Windsor and arrive in a new stadium in central London.The distance was 26 miles – about 42 kilometres In fact, the 1908 marathon ended dramatically.When the leader, an Italian, entered the stadium he returned the wrong way and fell onto the ground Officials picked him up and helped him to the finishing line, just as the second runner, an American, entered the stadium.The Americans protested and in the end the American runner was declared the winner Since then, there have been many more exciting marathons In fact, you don’t have to wait for the Olympic Games to run or watch a marathon, as there are marathons in over sixty countries and hundreds of cities around the world today.One of the most famous marathons is in New Your, and is watched by two million people around the streets and acro the bridges of the city’s five boroughs, and past New York’s famous landmarks.But perhaps one of the most beautiful and extraordinary marathons ever is the Greet Wall Marathon, which most competitors find is the toughest course to run.The marathon is the final Olympic event because it is thought to be the hardest.But experts believe that most people – even people who are not particularly good at sport – can run a marathon, if they train for it.Animals in Danger Saving the Antelopes On a freezing cold day in January 1994, Jiesang suonandajie found what he was looking for – a group of poachers who were killing the endangered Module 6 Tibetan antelope.Jiesang knew he had to move quickly.He shouted to the poachers to put down their guns.Although surprised, the poachers had an advantage –there were more of them In the battle which followed Jiesang was shot and killed When his frozen body was found hours later, he was still holding his gun.He had given his life to save the Tibetan antelope.At the beginning of the twentieth century there were millions of antelopes on the Qinghai – Tibetan Plateau.By the 1990s the number had fallen to about 50,000 The season is simple: the wool of the Tibetan antelope is the most expensive in the world.It is soft, light and warm – the ideal coat for an animal which has to survive at high altitudes A shawl made from the wool (known as ―shahtoosh‖, or ―king of wools‖ in Persian) can sell for five thousand dollars For poachers the profits can be huge Often working at night, the poachers shoot whole herds of antelopes at a time, leaving only the babies, whose wool is not worth so much.The animals are skinned on the spot and the wool taken to India, where it is made into the shawls From there, it is exported to rich countries in North America and Europe The busine is completely illegal – there has been a ban on the trade since 1975 But in the 1990s the shawls came into fashion among rich people.A police raid on a shop in London found 138 shawls.About 1,000 antelopes – or 2 per cent of the world’s population – had been killed to make them.In the 1990s the Chinese government began to take an active part in protecting the antelopes in the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve – the huge national park on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, which is the main habitat of the antelopes Over the next ten years about 3,000 poachers were caught and 300 vehicles confiscated Sometimes there were gunfights, like the one in which Jiesang Suonandajie was killed.But today the governments seems to be winning the battle.The number of poachers has fallen The small group of officials who work in the reserve are helped by volunteers who come from all over the country, and who are ready for the difficult conditions of life at 5,000 metres.Meanwhile, in those countries where the shawls are sold, police are getting tough with the dealers.International co-operation seems to be working.Since 1997 the antelope population has slowly begun to grow again.WWF The WWF is the world’s largest organization for nature conservation.It was founded in the UK in 1961 and opened an international office in Switzerland in the same year its aim was to protect the natural habitats of wild animals in danger of extinction.One of the founders, the painter and naturalist Peter Scott, designed the famous panda logo.The initials, WWF, stand for World Wide Fund for Nature.Originally the name was World Wildlife Fund.Today the organization has branches in 90 countries in all five continents.It has thousands of volunteers and more than five million supporters who help by giving money Since 1985 it has spent more than $1,000 million on 11,000 projects in 130 countries.The focus of attention has changed, too In the 1980s the WWF became interested in all activities which have an effect on the environment, such as pollution and the way we use energy The WWF believes that our world has a future only if peole learn to conserve nature and not waster energy As a result, it started working with governments to introduce environmental education into schools The WWF has worked with the Chinese government since 1980, when Dr George shaller arrived to work with Chinese scientists on the panda project.For fifteen years WWF China staff had been based in Switzerland but came to China to monitor the project Then, in 1995, the organization set up an office in Beijing Today there are more than thirty staff working on twenty rojects all over the country.They include work in forests, energy, and in environmental education for China’s primary and secondary schools as well as saving the panda, of course
