Fires swept across the Amazon this month have been grabbing global headlines. Scientists and environmentally groups are worried about that they will result in climate change and threaten biodiversity. As a largest rainforest in the world, the Amazon is often called “the lung of the world”. It is also home 3 million species of plants and animals and million of local people. Quantities of rainforests play an important role in the world’s ecosystem because it absorb heat what will be reflected back into the atmosphere. They also store carbon dioxide and producing oxygen, insuring that fewer carbon is released, reducing the effects of climate change.

China and Western country may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals. But when it comes to pigs, we somehow reach an agreement that pigs are lazy, ugly, stupidly and shameless. Neither of these words describing pigs are exactly positive. Moreover, the truth is what pigs have some good qualities. And there’s probably no good time to clear their names than now, with the arrival of the Year of the Pig on Chinese Spring Festival, which fell February 5 this year. According to a paper publishing in 2017, pigs can tell between those who treat them well or those who don’t. Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep it in mind-their intelligence, cuteness and patience.
