There are nearly 400 species(物种) of mammals(哺乳动物) in Kenya. The Kenya government says it is getting more 61 to protect them, as climate change and human activities do harm to their natural environments.
Recently the government has 62 free mobile phone app to help find wild animals in the country. It plans to use 63 from the app to help protect the animals. The app helps its users who 64 a wild mammal recognize it and give its location. Users can also give 65 information about the animal.
Dr. Simon Musilaa researcher at the National Museums of Kenya said there is a need to 66 more people to use the app to get more information about the animals. People including guides, visitors or anyone who goes out and sees the animals 67 use the app, Musila added. They can put 68 of the animals on the app and add more information such as the number of mammals and their 69 locations.
Experts say that Africa is 70 influenced by climate change now. Now the birth number of rare (稀有的) mammals and the survival number of young ones are 71 . “The number of them is getting smaller and smaller 72 we must act as soon as possible” an expert said. “That is why it is so 73 to use such kind of app. It is going to tell us which species we have, where they are and maybe which ones are 74 and what we need to do about them.”

There are nearly 400 species(物种) of mammals(哺乳动物) in Kenya. The Kenya government says it is getting more 61 to protect them, as climate change and human activities do harm to their natural environments.
