One possible version:
Dear teachers and schoolmates,
As we know, animals are our good friends. They should have the right to live on the earth with us peacefully and happily. But Im sorry to say that most of them are in danger, and some are even endangered.
Maybe, you want to know why so many animals are in danger. First, with the growing of villages and farms, people take up more and more land and forests. Many animals have no place to live or enough food to eat. Second, some people hunt wildlife such as tigers, elephants and whales for their fur, meat or bones. Third, because of the pollution, many animals cant find clean air and clean water.
Luckily, many people have realized the importance of the wildlife. They actively take action to protect wildlife. Besides, many countries, including China, have built many reserves to protect the animals in danger. Im sure the wildlifes tomorrow will be much better.
