“Burj Dubai is now taller than Taipei 101 in Taiwan, which at 508 metres has held the tallest-building-in-the-world _title_ since it opened in 2004,” Emaar Properties, which is developing the Dubai tower, said in a statement.
“Burj Dubai has now reached 141 storeys, more storeys than any other building in the world.”

The developer wants the tower, set to be completed next year, to be the world’s tallest building according to all four criteria listed by the Chicago-_base_d Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, which measures buildings to the structural top, the highest occupied floor, the top of the roof and the tip of the spire or flagpole.
Emaar did not say how tall the finished building will be.

Once completed, Burj Dubai will have consumed 330,000 cubic metres of concrete, 39,000 tonnes of steel and 142,000 square metres of glass, Emaar said. It will have 56 lifts travelling at 1.75 to 10 metres per second.
The tower will be the centrepiece of a $20 billion development that will include residential, commercial and retail property.

Dubai, the Gulf Arab trade and tourism hub, has embarked on a series of mega-projects in recent years, developing three palm-shaped islands off its coast and a cluster of man-made islands shaped like a map of the world.

Do you know more and more animals are in danger? How to protect these animals is a great problem for us. Maybe the best way to do this is to build more wild animal parks.
Firstly, wild animal parks can protect the animals’ living areas. Some farmers clear forests for new fields, and some other people cut down trees to build buildings. These lands are just animals’ homes. If their home is gone, many animals are not able to live any longer. And more of them will disappear.
Secondly, wild animal parks protect these animals from being hunted. Hunters kill many of these animals for their fur, horns and so on. However, some people don’t agree to build wild animal parks. They say wild animals are happier in the wild, though they meet some dangers.
All in all, everyone wants to protect these endangered animals. Let’s try to think out more ideas to save them, and to make our Earth more beautiful.
