Moonlight Town used to be the home of many wild animals.There were green hills and fresh air.However,the area has changed a lot over these years.There are now many roads,buildings and a lot of people.It no longer provides a good environment for wildlife.

In the past,people could only go to Moonlight Town by bike or on foot and it was very quiet there.Things have changed a lot,and a new airport has been in use.Now,people can take the bus,underground or plane to Moonlight Town.It is much faster and easier.

The changes to Moonlight Town have brought many benefits but they have caused many problems for wildlife.Some animals have left their living areas because of these changes.
