If I am the First Pioneer to Settle on Mars
By Miles Wang
If I am the very first pioneer to settle on Mars, I will make it a huge area for helping endangered birds on Earth in different ways, because I love these lovely creatures, and we should stop them from disappearing. First, I would build an enormous, tall building so we can use new technologies to make the place as similar to Earth as possible. I will also love to separate it into many different parts so birds from different habitats can all be rescued there. Second, I will introduce plants and finally the birds too into the building to captively breed them. I am going to let the plants first fill the area and then put the birds in to breed. Lastly, I would build cities and let as many things as possible that would lessen the size of the natural area to move to Mars. If that happened, there could be more space left on Earth for the birds and nature! In summary, I will let Mars be the extra space for Earth to rescue the birds and nature of Earth by captive breeding and make room for Earth, if I become the first pioneer to settle on Mars.
