more than 6 meters long.Their bodies are flat and winged，like underwater airplanes.And their noses are shaped like chainsaws.Sawfish are food hunters of the sea.When a sawfish is hungry，it waves its sharptoothed snout(口鼻部)through a group of fish.Then，it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to draw the injured victims.Hardy(適應(yīng)力強(qiáng)的)population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the world for thousands of years.Over the past 200 years，however，human actions have severely endangered sawfish.Threats include fishing nets that trap the huge animals，often by mistake.Some people collect sawfishs snouts as prizes：One snout recently sold for nearly $1600 online.In some Asian cultures，the toothy snouts are used in ceremonies to drive evil and disease away.And sawfish are also delicious.A growing demand in Asia for the fishs fins for a pricey soup has contributed to the fishs loves.Compared with other fish，sawfish give birth late in life and at slow rates，which makes it hard for them to recover from overfishing.New efforts now aim to restore sawfish population.Beginning next month，an international agreement will provide protection for all seven of the worlds sawfish species.Scientists are hoping that its not too late to save the sawfish.Until 1998，“this fish had never been formally studied in the United States，”says Tonya Wiley of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota，F(xiàn)la.“We didnt know such basic things as where they live，what habitat they use，how often they breed，how many young they haveeven what age sawfish are when they begin breeding.”Through historical studies and field research，scientists have become aware of how much the fishs numbers have decreased.Today，there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be.Wiley estimates that only 3000 to 6000 sawfish remain in US waters.Title：SawfishDescriptionsSize_1_2_Body：Flat and wingedNose：Like a chainsaw_3_ of hunting for foodAttacking fish with _4_Drawing

special attention is paid to environmental issues.It is an important day to the people of my home state of Oregon.Oregon is filled with thick green forests，and its residents are often actively involved in preserving its natural beauty.I recently had the chance to interview Michael Carrier，Oregons National Resource Policy Director，about the significance of Earth Day in our state.“Salmon(鱸魚(yú)) are very important to Oregon，” said Carrier.He explained that Oregon is devoted to maintaining its salmon population，and has issued special license plates with a salmon design.The plates have raised more than $2 million for the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD)According to Carrier，the OPRD invests thousands of dollars every year in numerous projects designed to improve salmon life，such as restoring streams to make them fishfriendly.When I asked about how kids could help the environment，Carrier responded that it is important for us to learn about environmental issues，and to keep up with new developments.He also suggested another way that young people can set to work.“Kids can help by recycling，” said Carrier.Oregon will host several activities to celebrate Earth Day this year.The Oregon Gardens is the site for an educational event for environmental activists and community leaders.Many Oregonians will get in on the Earth Day
