　　Unless governments take necessary measures to protect tigers, they may disappear by 2010, the World Wildlife Fund said Thursday.

　　The conservation(保护) group said tiger numbers have decreased(减少) 95 percent in the past century and only 5 000 - 7 200 tigers still remain in the wild-compared with nearly ten times that many at the start of the century.

　　WWF published an update Feb. 11, 1999 of their study-Wanted Alive: Tigers in the Wild, marking the end of the Chinese Year of the Tiger.

　　The report states that in spite of the great efforts over the past year, much remains to be done to prevent the tiger from becoming extinct early.

　　“Next century, if governments do not fight against unlawful hunting and get rid of demand for tiger products the tiger will go to extinction. ”says WWF.

　　“We cannot relax for one moment, if we are to make it certain that tigers will still exist in the wild by the next Chinese Year of the Tiger in 2010. ”Said Elizabeth Kemt, species conservation information manager at WWF International and one of the authors of the report.

　　Three of the subspecies of tiger—the Bali, Caspian and Javan tiger are extinct. The South China tiger faces the same end as only 20 or 30 are known to remain in the wild, down from 4 000 in 1950s.

　　Have you ever seen a movie in which a building was burned down or a bridge was destroyed? Have you seen films in which a train crashed or a ship sank into the ocean? If so, you may have wondered how these things could happen without harming the people in the film.

　　The man who knows the answer is the “special-effect” man. He has one of the most important jobs in the film industry. He may be ordered to create a flood or to make a battlefield explode. And he may also be asked to create a special effect which is much less exciting, though just as important to the success of the film.

　　In a scene for one movie there was a big glass box filled with water in which small fish were swimming. The director of the movie wanted the fish to stop swimming suddenly while they seemed to stare at an actor. Then the director wanted the fish to stop staring and swim away. But fish can't be ordered to do anything. It was quite a problem.

　　The special-effect man thought about this problem for a long time. Then there occured an idea for controlling the fish with a harmless use of electricity. First he used electricity to the fish bowl, causing the fish to be completely still. Then he rapidly reduced the amount of electricity, allowing the fish to swim away. Thus he got the humorous effect that the director wanted.

　　All this requires training, skill, and experience. It also adds a great deal to the expense of producing the film. It helps explain why so many movies are very expensive to make.
