根據(jù)衛(wèi)星數(shù)據(jù)顯示的信息,古老的、富含碳的熱帶森林繼續(xù)以驚人的速度消失。美國馬里蘭大學(xué)對高度為五米以上的樹木的研究稱,在2019年,每六秒就有一片足球場大小的原始森林消失。

For scientists, the loss of older trees and tropical rainforests is a double blow to life on Earth. As well as storing massive amounts of carbon, they're hotspots of biodiversity as the homes of orangutans, jaguars, and tigers.

對科學(xué)家們來說,古老樹木和熱帶雨林的消失是對地球生命的一個雙重打擊。除了儲存大量的碳以外,古老樹木和熱帶雨林還是生物多樣性熱點地區(qū),是紅毛猩猩、美洲豹和老虎的家園。

According to the new data, these primary forests continue to be destroyed at alarming rates. Brazil accounted for over a third of all losses last year, with deforestation for agriculture the main motive.

據(jù)新數(shù)據(jù)顯示,這些原始森林持續(xù)以驚人的速度遭到毀壞。去年,巴西原始森林損失的比例占所有損失的三分之一以上,其主要緣由是為了農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)砍伐森林。

The end of 2019 also saw dramatic fires in Australia leading to a sixfold increase in the total number of trees lost compared to 2018.

2019年底,澳大利亞也發(fā)生了嚴(yán)重森林火災(zāi),導(dǎo)致樹木損失總數(shù)比2018年增加了六倍。
