The great city of Ur was destroyed by floods because people cut down the trees regulary on the bank of their river to use for their fires.

B17

The dodo was a large bird, rather like a turkey, that lived on the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean. When the first man arrived in Mauritius in the early 16th century, they found that the dodos were not afraid of people. The settlers killed dodos partly for food and partly for sport.

B18

Less than 200 years after the first man settlement on Mauritius, the last dodo was dead. Only the expression 'as dead as a dodo' lives in the English language.
