Golden lion tamarin is a small monkey, whose face looks like a lion face, because it has golden collar around its head. The golden lion tamarin is one of many endangered species. Most of them live in the forests rain habitat and mostly they live in Brazil near the coastal amd they only live in Brazil;no other country has them. The problem is that in Brazil the population is increasing and with more people who tend to go to live near the coastal, they cut down the trees,they make places and farms for them to live on,so that puts the golden lion tamartins in danger along with other species. The first cooperation to protect the golden lion tamarin happened in the early 1970s between the National Zoological Park (Washington) and tge Rio de Janeiro primate center. (Waza.2006).
First of all, there are many people who get benefit from animals in many ways, and explit them to get benefits under the terms of buisness, and that does not benefit the environment. For example there is a kind of animals like the white tigers which being are kiled and then the people tend to take their fur. Also there are many animals which are being captured by people who do not belong to some organization, and that means these animals will go away from their habitat and that leads to the end of the species group. The end of the species other than the climate change and disease and like these big dangers is the distribution. The World Association of Zoos, when it talks about the lion tamarins situation, states that "Its current distribution is now severely reduced. It is now extinct in Espirito Santo, and in Rio de Janeiro it is restricted to four municipalities: Silva Jardim, Araruama, Cabo Frio and Squarema." (2006,Para 1) and that indicate one of the most important reasons that put the species indanger which is the hunting and taking away of the animals from their habitat. Also, there are many people who hunt the animals who do not know what will happend after they do such a thing; they participate in increasing the danger to the human being as well as the animals. For example there is a forest that has wolves in it and other species and animals, but when the people try to hunt and kill the wolves, the life in this area will be in a bad situation because the wolves maintain the life in this area as it should be, and this is the natural life in the forest. In addition,the lion tamarins have a difficult situation in Brazil, because the forest almost covers big regions in this country, especially in the coastal regions, so it is not easy for the government to maintain and keep the forest from the people. Also, the population in Brazil makes the situation more difficult, because there may be some people who tend to live near the coastal and depend on the tropical forest life and that may lead to the extinction of the species.
Second, they should be living in the zoos if there was climate problems or other problems. The best example of this solution is what happened between the National Zoological Park (Washington), Smithsonian Institution and the Rio de Janeiro Primate Centre in the early 1970s (2006, para,2). This solution benefit all the sides, which are the Rio de janeiro center and the Nation Zoological Park and the lion tamarin, and in fact the species is the ones which will get the most benefit from the solution. When we put the animals in a zoo, that also will increase the zoos economy. The most important thing is that they must study the golden lion tamarin habitat and behavion. Also the cooperation between various countries, especially those which are related to the species life, is mostly successful as what the National Zoological Association states :"The program has expanded since then to cover multiple aspects of Golden lion tamarin conservation, habitat management and restoration, research on genetics, behaviour and natural history of wild tamarins, an international captive breeding program, reintroduction of captive born tamarins into previously unoccupied forests, translocation of wild born individuals and both local and international conservation education programmes" (National zoological,2006) and that means they do not just take the animals to the zoos but also study the behaviour about them and their habitat and try to provide them with the facilities they need and use in the forest. All of that will fall under the benefit of the economy like what happened in many countires when they took golden lion tamarins form Brazil and the amount of US $38,000 was raised during the fiscal year 1999/2000 (2006,para.3). Also it is the easy way to keep the species in zoos, and evacuate them from the danger. The Associated Press states that "You could fit all the surviving members of the 25 species in a single football stadium; that's how few of them remain on Earth today," and that explains how the species that are endangered live today; when we gatehr particular species in one environment then we will protect them from many things and then that may lead to the reintroduction of the species.
Thirdly, there should be specialized people who are concerned about the species to carry the responsiblity. (Rick,r.1997) states that " Scientists in Brazil studied the habits of these tiny rare monkeys. They discovered that tamarins live in small family groups, partway up in rainforest trees. The animals are busy during the day--caring for their young and searching for fruit and small creatures to eat. At night, they curl up together to sleep in tree holes. Without the forest, the little monkeys cannot survive" and that indicated that the most people who are concerned about the animals and species in the right way and know their habitats are the scientists and people who know how to deal with the animals, and this leads them to know what they are doing during each season and how they live. This information will benefit the species at first, because when they are in danger the specialized people will help them and put them in an environment that is at least like how they were living in the forest and their habitats. Moreover, there must be other organizations that help to improve the species' lives whenever they are endangered. For example people who are concerned about the climate change mostly go to check and make confirmation about the climate in some forests and especially if they heard there are some species that tend to die then they go to find out and check the climate and the weather. Also, when particular species tend to die or become endangered, there must be some people who know if there are the same species that exist in other areas or countries in order to gather them and put them together as part of reintroduction.
Opponents to conservation and prevention of hunting claim that the hunting is not a big reason to make the species be in danger; however,they are wrong ,because they only look at one side, which is theirown and what is most interesting is how they will get the benefit from this hunting, and how they will bring in money from hunting but thet do not know that there are many people and species that are hurting because of them.
When someone takes one golden lion tamarin and then another one does the same, they will get a temporary benefit from doing this,but this indicates the situation isbecoming worse.

Summary Response
In the article "Save the Atlantic rainforet-living space of the golden lion tamarin" by the world Associasion of zoos amd Aquarium,they at first talk about the golden lion and describe it; they say it is a squirrel sized monkey. Also, they talk about the historical existence of many animals in Brazil and the fact that the golden lion tamarin is one of them. They mention that, and that most of this species were in Atlantic forest in Brazil. In addition, they say the golden lion distribution was in the forested coastal region from the south of the state of Rio de Janeiro to the south of the state if Espirito Santo. Now their distribution is mostly less than before. Also, they say the golden lion now is extinct in Espirito Santo, and in Rio de Janeiro it has evacuated ti four regions in Brazil. Moreover, they say the protection of the golden lion tamarin began in the early 1970s with a cooperative project between the National Zoological Park (Washington, Smithsonian institution abd the Rio de Janeiro Primate Center; since then, this program has been expanded. Moreover, they say there is a habitat managment and restoration, and that study the genetics,the behavior, and the wild history of the golden lion.
As long as the animals in the forests are important and the forests are important, the government should take care of the forests and the animals. The country should build a lot of zoos to protect the golden lion. There should be many organizations throughout the country which have the golden lion.
First of all, in Brazil especially, there are many forests, and they have a lot of animals and plants, and those kind of animals are unusual to find all ocer the world, so if the forests always being crowded, or a lot of people come into them as groups, after that they will destroy the plants and capture the animals. Also, not only are forests an environment for animals, but also the people can get many benefits from them, and they can be considered a natural resource. For example, when the forest has plants that grow fruit, then that is considered a benefit for the people around the forest.
Second the government can build zoos for the animals, but they should know the habitat that the animals are used to living in. When the golden lion are brought to the zoos, and the managment and zookeepers do not know these animals' behavior,they will be under risk. In addition,in this way the government the will get the benefit in many ways, because the golden lions are rare in the world and when they are in the zoos, the country will protect them and will get a lot of money from the consumers who will come to watch the golden lions.
Third, when a country has animal is endangered and does not exist any where else in the world but in this country, then the country should establish an organization. In Brazil the golden lion was distributed in many forests there, but then it began to become extinct in some of those forests while it still existed in the others. In this case the governmentshould carry the responsibility to protect these animals by building an organization around Brazil. Moreover, they should have to arrange it and provide it with researchers and experts and people who know how to take care of the animals and give them provisions.
In conclusion, the zoos are the best solution for the people and the animals, and they could make a big place and provide it with trees and necessary matters, and keep the animals tgere, because sometimes the small get threatened by the wild animals like the tiger and sometimes because of the climate.

Wal-Mart
There are a lot of big companies and stores that exist around the world usually there are important secrets about their success. When a store becomes bigger and all the people become aware of its importance; they will continue buying items from these stores as long as they do not exceed their rights. Wal-Mart is a big store that is a controversial subject around the United States, and there are people who have on unfriendly attitude toward Wal-Mart and there should be some side is causing problems.
In big cities Wal-Mart owners can do whatever they wanted, because it does not annoy the people who live there, but Wal-Mart should not open in small cities, and it should warn their businesses. Wal-Mart does not give their employees their rights. Wal-Mart has to deal with its employees equally and reward the good employees for their effort.
First of all, in small cities the people mostly depend on their own business to live, and they react with each other, but after this routine comes a person that attacks them by decreasing their opportunity of the benefits of their business. According to Jacobs (2005,para.1) ” Some Murphysboro and Carbondale residents are protesting a new Wal-Mart supercenter in Murphysboro because they fear it will destroy the town’s small business and the quality of life for some of its citizens” and that indicates that there are many people in this small town aware of the coming warning, and so that will change the people’s lives in a bad way, because there will be only one resource they will depend on.
Secondly, Wal-Mart does not treat its employees in the right way. Wal-Mart customers get the benefit from the store more than the employees. Also, although Wal-Mart has 1.3 million US employees, it only has given health insurance to a small percentage of its employees (UFCWIU,2005). Moreover it is not right to provide it for the others because the health insurance is the most important thing that protects the employees and saves their lives and their families’. Also, Wal-Mart’s employees do not have a high salary, and they are in a potential position of getting sick any time, so it is one of their rights to have the health insurance.
Thirdly, Wal-Mart is a big store, so they have to know that equality between the employees is well demanded. In addition, women’s right is a subject that many people have concerns about. “Women comprise 92% of Wal-Mart’s cashiers, but only 33% of its managers (Drog,2003.P.10); that means there are some issues going on in Wal-Mart and the women there do not get their right to be in a high position, regardless of their efforts. Also, they mostly give the management to the employees who have the most affective efforts. When the women stick in a specific place and their salary is lower than the men who do not deserve better salary than them then, the women have the right to criticize the owners.
The people who support Wal-Mart say that, we should appreciate this store by giving the people what they want at low price. However they are wrong because it is a temporary time we will be happy with the low price but the low price is not everything, and does not mean the store would be successful if they lower their prices. There are many things more important than the prices, such as the treatment between the employees, the quality of the items, and other things. Wal-Mart has been reached an unbelievable stage of gains and profits but even when the price is still low and the company treats the employees in a bad way, in this case the effect will be even on the customers, because maybe the employees will not treat them in a friendly way.
In conclusion, Wal-Mart is in an important position and they should know that so, any step they take or any mistake they cause will be discussed by the entire country.There are a lot of things wrong with the store, and they can correct them without losing their profits; at first they should look after their employees and make sure all of them are happy and feel comfortable about their situation, because if they could not pleasure their employees, it will affect their customers.
