北极熊的现状与保护措施建议.docxVIP

介绍： 北极熊是现今体型最大的陆上食肉动物，这种动物靠在环绕北极的雪原和浮冰上狩猎为生。北极熊是游泳健将，北极熊身上厚厚的白色皮毛和脂肪层足以使其抵挡北极的严寒，同时也是一种喜好独来独往的食肉动物。由于它以浮冰为家，而浮冰会随时漂浮，因此会将北极熊带到其他遥远的地方。在靠近北极的五个国家即美国（阿拉斯加州）、加拿大、丹麦、挪威和俄罗斯的北极海岸线和海岛上都能见到北极熊活动的踪影。但北极熊是依然生活在原始生境的唯一的动物。 Polar bears are the largest land predators today. They hunt on the snow and ice floes that surround the Arctic The thick layer of white fur and fat on the polar bear is enough to shield it from the arctic cold. This animal survives by hunting in the snowy fields and ice floes that surround the Arctic. Polar bears are strong swimmers and carnivores that like to be solitary. Since it makes the ice floes home, which floats at any time, it takes the polar bear to a distant place. Polar bear activity can be seen on the Arctic coastlines and islands of five countries close to the Arctic, namely the United States (Alaska), Canada, Denmark, Norway and Russia. Polar bears are the only animals that still live in primitive habitats. 现状与问题： 不过如今北极熊的生存环境在逐渐恶化。 首先，全球变暖的趋势可能已对北极熊的生活造成了负面影响。目前哈得孙湾冰块的融化时间比20世纪中期提早了三个星期。这就迫使北极熊向内陆深处后撤，而此时他们尚未能够从生活在冰块上的小海豹来补充体内的脂肪，使得他们的存活率降低。而加拿大环境部野生动植物保护署提供的一份报告也证实了生活在加拿大哈得孙湾的北极熊的数量一直在减少。 But now the living environment of polar bears is deteriorating Firstly，global warming trends may have had a negative impact on polarbear lives. According to a report from Environment Canadas Wildlife Conservation Agency, the number of polar bears living in Canadas Hudson Bay has been decreasing. The current melting time of the Hudson Bay ice cubes is three weeks earlier than in the mid-20th century. This forces polar bears to retreat deep inland, when they have not yet been able to replenish fat stores for seals living on ice. 多伦多斯卡伯勒大学(University of Toronto Scarborough)的生物学家PéterMolnár说：“很明显，一段时间以来，北极熊遭受气候变化的影响。”?“但我们不完全清楚的是，北极熊的生存和繁殖能力何时会大幅下降，最终导致灭绝。我们不知道这种情况会在本世纪早些时候还是晚些时候发生。” PéterMolnár, a biologist at the University of Toronto Scarborough and lead author of the study, said: It is clear that polar bears will suffer from the effects of climate chang
