大学英语快速阅读课文Wildlife Conservation带翻译 课后习题答案
Wildlife ConservationIn my childrens lifetimes, I believe gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans ( 猩猩 ) will all become extinct in the wild. So the question we have to ask ourselves is this: do we want our children to see only in zoos what used to exist in the real world? It is the great apes that will disappear first, because there are so few of them left, and because theyre so vulnerable to changes in their habitats.Many of the threats to these animals result from a global economy and not local pressures. The threat to the orangutans in Indonesia, for example, is largely a result of deforestation and the risks to apes and chimpanzees in Africa result from the timber trade and the demand for bush-meat. The two work together: logging opens up the forest, which means that the bush-meat can be got out fast, to Kinshasa or to London.If we want to avoid the disaster, people in developed countries will have to take a global perspective and accept responsibility for the damage export crops, such as timber, coffee, cut flowers or even green beans, do to the environment. The challenge is to avoid simply imposing Western attitudes on local peoples.Already there are no truly wild places left in the world. Looking at wildlife has become the preserve of the middle classes over the last 20-odd years, and as wild animals become even rarer, so more tourists want to see them. But tourism alone plainly cannot conserve the worlds animals; economic development is the priority.For the future, I suspect that if you really want to do something about wildlife conservation, you would be better off putting your money into womens education rather than just into the protection of flagship species. Women often bear the direct costs of wildlife conflict; their knowledge of how to deal with conflict and how to control their own reproductive destinies may yet determine the survival of many threatened species.Choose the best answers to the following questions.Why will the great apes become extinct i
