Report reveals one in six UK species is at risk of extinction 報(bào)告顯示英國(guó)六分之一物種面臨滅絕風(fēng)險(xiǎn)
文字稿
UK wildlife is under pressure from habitat loss, pollution and climate change.
英國(guó)的野生生物正在承受棲息地流失、污染和氣候變化的壓力。
Almost 1,500 species are threatened with extinction here, according to this report.
英國(guó)有近1500個(gè)物種面臨滅絕的威脅，據(jù)一份新發(fā)布的報(bào)告顯示。
That includes 13 seabird species, some of Britain's most familiar mammals and many insects.
這其中包括13種海鳥(niǎo)、一些英國(guó)人最熟悉的哺乳動(dòng)物，以及多種昆蟲(chóng)。
But the latest evidence also provides a glimmer of hope showing that targeted conservation efforts, like the mission to make gardens more wildlife friendly, can work.
但最新證據(jù)也給人帶來(lái)一線希望，證據(jù)表明有針對(duì)性的保護(hù)工作可以取得成效，比如改造自家的花園，讓其更適于野生生物活動(dòng)。
Grace Johnson, People's Trust for Endangered Species
"We need to try and look at ways that we can thrive alongside nature and just try and roll that out from gardens and urban areas out into the wider countryside as well."?
格蕾絲·約翰遜? ? ? ?英國(guó)瀕危物種人民信托基金會(huì)
“我們需要試著探尋與自然共存的方式，并試著將這種理念從自家花園和城市地區(qū)同樣推廣到更廣闊的鄉(xiāng)村去?！?/p>
An important way to bring wildlife back to the countryside is nature-friendly farming.
讓野生生物在鄉(xiāng)村重現(xiàn)生機(jī)的一個(gè)重要方法就是自然環(huán)境友好型農(nóng)業(yè)。
Here in the North Pennines, this 400-acre?farm has been split into smaller pastures. The herd here is moved into a new field every day.
在英國(guó)北奔寧山脈地區(qū)，這個(gè)400英畝大的農(nóng)場(chǎng)被分成了一塊塊更小的牧區(qū)。這里的牛群每天都被趕到一塊新的牧區(qū)內(nèi)活動(dòng)。
Nicola Renison, Dairy Farmer
"The idea is that it's similar to buffalo on the plains and they're moving every day."
妮古拉·雷尼森? ? ? ?奶牛場(chǎng)農(nóng)戶
“我們這樣做是想讓牛群像平原上的野牛一樣，它們每天都換地方活動(dòng)?！?/p>
Paul Renison , Dairy Farmer
"And we're the predators, we're moving the electric fence, so we're keeping them moving."
保羅·雷尼森? ? ? ?奶牛場(chǎng)農(nóng)戶
“而我們農(nóng)戶就好比捕食牛群的動(dòng)物，我們每天移動(dòng)電圍欄的位置，把牛群不斷地趕到不同的地方活動(dòng)?！?/p>
Nicola Renison, Dairy Farmer
"He's the wolf."
妮古拉·雷尼森? ? ? ?奶牛場(chǎng)農(nóng)戶
“他就是追著牛跑的 ‘狼’?！?/p>
The aim is to work with the land. The cattle fertilise the soil and then each field is left for 60 days to restore itself before it's grazed again.
奶牛場(chǎng)農(nóng)戶們這樣做的目的是根據(jù)土地的情況放牧。牛群的活動(dòng)讓土壤變得更肥沃，然后每一塊牧區(qū)都會(huì)空閑60天，以等它恢復(fù)原狀，之后再讓牛過(guò)來(lái)吃草。
Victoria Gill, BBC correspondent
"In here, when you dig through all this long grass, you can hopefully see quite a lot of evidence of insect life and quite a lot of worm activity too. So, this is healthy soil."
維多利亞·吉爾? ? ? ?BBC通訊員
“在這里，當(dāng)你挖到這些長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)青草的根部時(shí)，就有機(jī)會(huì)看到大量昆蟲(chóng)生命和蠕蟲(chóng)活動(dòng)的跡象。所以，能看出這里的土壤很肥沃、健康。”
Paul and Nic have also planted trees and hedgerows to create more natural habitats.
保羅和妮古拉還在農(nóng)場(chǎng)上種植了樹(shù)木和樹(shù)籬，以創(chuàng)造更多自然棲息地。
Nicola Renison, Dairy Farmer
"This is the most diverse hedgerows, would you say?"
妮古拉·雷尼森? ? ? ?奶牛場(chǎng)農(nóng)戶
“我們種在這里的樹(shù)籬生物種類最豐富，你同意嗎？”
Paul Renison , Dairy Farmer
"Yeah, one of them. We've got bird cherry, holly, hawthorn..."
保羅·雷尼森? ? ? ?奶牛場(chǎng)農(nóng)戶
“對(duì)，算得上生物種類最豐富的之一。這里長(zhǎng)有稠李、冬青、山楂樹(shù)……”
And their efforts have paid off. A recent bird survey showed there were 49 different species just on their farm.
保羅和妮古拉的努力得到了回報(bào)。最近的一項(xiàng)鳥(niǎo)類調(diào)查顯示，僅在他們的農(nóng)場(chǎng)上就有49種不同的鳥(niǎo)類物種。
Nicola Renison, Dairy Farmer
"It's like a smorgasbord for nature, and it is quietly coming back."
妮古拉·雷尼森? ? ? ?奶牛場(chǎng)農(nóng)戶
“這里就像是為自然中的生物準(zhǔn)備的一場(chǎng)盛宴，這里的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)正在悄然恢復(fù)。”
Paul Renison, Dairy Farmer
"And the more and more of those little habitats you have, the more and more nature it seemed to attract. In a way, it's almost addictive."
保羅·雷尼森? ? ? ?奶牛場(chǎng)農(nóng)戶
“這種小型棲息地越多，似乎就吸引了越多的自然生物。甚至可以說(shuō)，幫助恢復(fù)自然生態(tài)的感覺(jué)讓人上癮，停不下來(lái)。”
The UK?is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world, and the hope is that this report will provide an alarm call and a guide to making more space for the natural world.
英國(guó)是世界上自然資源最枯竭的國(guó)家之一，人們希望這份報(bào)告將敲響警鐘，并引導(dǎo)人們?yōu)樽匀皇澜珧v出更多的生存空間。
