The Story of Storks: From Extinction to Reintroduction
- Discover the inspiring story of storks, beautiful birds with a tragic history in Japan. Once abundant, they faced hunting and loss of food supply due to agricultural chemicals. In 1971, the last wild stork died, leading to their extinction in Japan. However, a breeding project started in 1965. After decades of efforts, the first storks were released into the wild in 2005, marking a historic day for Toyooka City.
- Explore the decline and restoration of storks in Japan. This captivating story begins with the storks' habitat along rivers, wetlands, and rice fields. Over time, their population started decreasing due to hunting and the destruction of their food supply by agricultural chemicals. Despite these challenges, a breeding project was initiated in 1965, leading to the release of six young wild storks from Russia in 1985. Finally, after more than thirty years, storks were reintroduced into the wild in 2005, bringing hope and joy to Toyooka City.
- From near extinction to reintroduction, witness the remarkable journey of storks in Japan. Once a common sight, the stork population declined rapidly due to hunting and the loss of food sources. In a bid to save the species, a breeding project was launched in 1965. Despite setbacks, including the unfortunate death of the last wild stork in 1971, efforts continued. In 2005, the first storks were released into the wild after decades of dedication and perseverance. This momentous occasion marked a turning point in the conservation of storks.

ある論文？記事？なんですが、英語が読めないので全く分かりません・・・ お手数をかけるようですがよろしければ訳していただけると嬉しいです。 Storks are beautiful birds with black-and-white wings and long black bills. They used to live along rivers, wetlands and rice fields. For food, they ate fish, frogs and grasshoppers. The number of storks began decreasing during the Meiji Period due to hunting. Also, farmers used agriculture chemicals after World War II, and this destroyed the storks’ food supply. In 1956, the government designated storks as a specially protected species. In 1965, Hyogo Prefecture opened a special facility where researchers could breed storks in captivity. However, it was already too late to save them. In 1971, the last wild stork died in Toyooka City and the species became extinct in Japan. The people there were deeply saddened by this. In 1985, six young wild storks were sent from Khabarovsk, Russia. If the storks had not been given to the facility, the breeding project, 118 storks had been hatched by the time the first five were released. September 24, 2005 was an historic day. It was the first attempt to release storks from the facility into the wild. After more than thirty years, the people of Toyooka could welcome the storks back to Japan.

コウノトリは、白黒の翼と長い黒いくちばしをもつ美しい鳥です。 彼らは、以前は、川、湿地、水田に沿って生息していました。 食物には、彼らは魚、カエル、バッタを食べました。 コウノトリの数は、狩猟のために明治時代の間に減少し始めました。 また、農民は第二次世界大戦後、農薬を使いました、そして、このことは、コウノトリの食物供給を破壊しました。 1956年に、政府はコウノトリを特別保護種に指定しました。 1965年に、兵庫県は、研究者が捕えたコウノトリを飼育することができる特別な施設を開設しました。 しかし、彼らを救うには、すでに、遅すぎました。 1971年に、最後の野生のコウノトリが、豊岡市で死にました、そして、種は日本では絶滅しました。 そこの人々は、これによってひどく悲しみました。 1985年に、6羽の若い野生のコウノトリが、ロシアのハバロフスクから送られました。 もしも、そのコウノトリが施設に寄贈されていなかったら、繁殖プロジェクトは成功しなかったでしょう。【この文不完全です。推測で訳しました。原文に抜けたところがある様に思います。】 最初の5羽が放たれる頃には、118羽のコウノトリが産まれていました。 ☆論文、記事から採用したものでしょうが、高校の教科書ではないでしょうか？

＃1．です。最後のパラグラフの訳が抜け落ちていました。失礼しました。 2005年9月24日は、歴史的な日でした。 それは、コウノトリを施設から荒野に解き放す最初の試みでした。 30年以上経って、豊岡の人々は、コウノトリが日本に戻って来るのを歓迎することができました。

old negative stereotypes of the japanese that had been around since world war II were brought back and applied to the new economic context. they were sneaky. they said "yes" at a business meeting, but later said they were just thinking about it. they could not be trusted. they were ungrateful. they were hurting the american economy after the war and taking american jobs after americans had helped them to restart their economy after the war and protected it while it was growing. some americans actually believed that the japanese could only have success-fully competed with america by cheating. 国際/外国語

While other workers left their offices each evening to go home to a good dinner、Jeff Coe’s mind was on the thousands of people in his city who weren't so fortunate. For a year he had been in the habit of going to the square in front of the city hall to join member of the charity organisation Help the Hungry,where he customers:the homeless,old people dependent on inadequate pensions,drug addicts who had used all their money to buy cocaine. It was tiring,unpaid work,but rewarding in other ways. However the city government was not as appreciative as he might have hope. Several time Help the Hungry had been warned that it was against the law to serve food without a licence. "The licensing system is to protect citizens," mayor Ramos explained when asked why he had criticised the charity."Even if the food is free we have to have controls to ensure health standards are maintained." Aware of the regulation,Help the Hungry had applied twice for a licence but been turned down. Since they were cooking outside with simple equipment there seemed to be doubts about hygiene. Moreover hundreds of people applied for food licences every year,including hamburg stands and pizza sellers,and only some could be accepted.

Several groups of scientists have been working on projects to revive the mammoth. One, for example, is the French explorer, Bernard Buigues, and his team. In December 1997, they used new technology to dig out a mammoth which had been in the Arctic ground for about 23,000 years. Then they carried it by helicopter to a research center in Khatanga, a small in Siberia. What the scientists did in the center was to thaw small parts of the animal and look for clues―that could tell us more about the world of the mammoth. They also wanted to collect DNA from the animal and examine its genetic makeup.

The forts were triangular or quadrangular and built of concrete, with a surrounding ditch and barbed-wire entanglements. The superstructures were buried and only mounds of concrete or masonry and soil were visible. The forts were armed with 78 x 210-millimetre (8.3 in) howitzers, 150-millimetre (5.9 in) and 120-millimetre (4.7 in) guns and 57-millimetre (2.2 in) quick-firers. Each fort had retractable cupolas, mounting guns up to 6-inch (150 mm) and the main guns were mounted in steel turrets with 360° traverse but only the 57-millimetre (2.2 in) turret could be elevated. The forts contained magazines for the storage of ammunition, crew quarters for up to 500 men and electric generators for lighting. Provision had been made for the daily needs of the fortress troops but the latrines, showers, kitchens and the morgue had been built in the counterscarp, which could become untenable if fumes from exploding shells, collected in the living quarters and support areas as the forts were ventilated naturally. Pentagonal Brialmont fort, 1914 The forts were not linked and could only communicate by telephone and telegraph, the wires for which were not buried. Smaller fortifications and trench lines in the gaps between the forts, to link and protect them had been planned by Brialmont but had not been built by 1914.

After the regular season was over, Roberto returned to Puerto Rico as the greatest sports hero in all of Latin America. He was not only a great player on the field, but also an even Greater person off the field. He won fame and money through baseball, but never forgot that most people in Latin America were poor. He always told his family that he had a duty to help those who had not been as lucky as he had been. During the off-season that year, Roberto volunteered to manage a baseball team of young Puerto Ricans. While he and his team were staying in Managua, Nicaragua, Roberto heard about a fourteen-year-old boy named Julio. He had lost both his legs in an accident, but had no money for artificial legs. Roberto arranged to get them for Julio. Roberto went to see him and told him that he would be able to walk again. It was usual for Roberto to give a helping hand to people like Julio.

自分でやったりアプリでやると日本語がおかしくなるのできれいな日本語に訳せる方よろしくお願いします！！ On June 17, 1966, two black men entered a bar and grill in New Jersey, and started shooting . The bartender and one customer died instantly . Another customer died almost a month later, as a result of her wounds. A third customer survived, though he lost the use of one eye . Soon after the crime, the police stopped Rubin's car. Rubin and a friend of his were taken to the bar and grill and made to stand against the wall while their car was searched . The police then took them to the hospital and showed them to one of the victims, who said they had not been the shooters . Rubin and his friend were then taken to the police station, where they were questioned for sixteen hours. They both took lie detector tests, and were released. However, by october, the police had found witnesses who said they saw Rubin and his friend running away from the bar and grill just after the crime. One of the witnesses was Alfred Bello, an ex-convict, who had himself been questioned about the crime. The surviving customer, Willie Marins, had changed his story, and now seemed to think that Rubin and his friend were the criminals. When the case came to court, it soon became clear that everything depended on the testimony of these two witnesses. There was no fingerprint evidence, and no scientific proof that Rubin and his friend had recently fired weapons. Some ammunition was found in Rubin's car, which was similar to that used in the shooting. Marins' descriptions of the two men were vague, but Bello's testimony was damning. He said that he heard shots, and then saw Rubin and his friend leave the bar laughing, one carrying a shotgun and the other a handgun. Bello admitted that he himself went into the bar to take money out of the cash register. In spite of this, the all-white jury believed him － in less than two hours, they convicted Rubin and his friend of murder.

Troops of the KAR launched a tentative attack on Mbombwe on 25 January but the engagement proved inconclusive. Chilembwe's forces held a strong defensive position along the Mbombwe river and could not be pushed back. Two African government soldiers were killed and three were wounded; Chilembwe's losses have been estimated as about 20. On 26 January, a group of rebels attacked a Catholic mission at Nguludi belonging to Father Swelsen. The mission was defended by four African armed guards, one of whom was killed, Father Swelsen was also wounded in the fighting and the church was burnt down. The military and militia forces assaulted Mbombwe again the same day but encountered no resistance. Many rebels, including Chilembwe, had fled the village disguised as civilians. Mbombwe's fall and the government troops' subsequent demolition of Chilembwe's church with dynamite ended the rebellion. Kaduya was captured and brought back to Magomero where he was publicly executed. After the defeat of the rebellion, most of the remaining insurgents attempted to escape eastwards across the Shire Highlands, towards Portuguese East Africa, from where they hoped to head north to German territory. Chilembwe was seen by a patrol of Nyasaland police and shot dead on 3 February near Mlanje. Many other rebels were captured; 300 were imprisoned following the rebellion and 40 were executed. Around 30 rebels evaded capture and settled in Portuguese territory near the Nyasaland border. The colonial authorities responded quickly to the uprising with as much force and as many troops, police and settler volunteers it could muster to hunt down and kill suspected rebels. There was no official death toll, but perhaps 50 of Chilembwe’s followers were killed in the fighting, when trying to escape after or summarily executed. Worrying that the rebellion might rapidly reignite and spread, the authorities instigated arbitrary reprisals against the local African population, including mass hut burnings. All weapons were confiscated and fines of 4 shillings per person were levied in the districts affected by the revolt, regardless of whether the people in question had been involved. As part of the repression, a series of courts were hastily convened which passed death sentences on Forty-six men for the offences of murder and high treason and 300 others were given prison sentences. Thirty-six were executed and, to increase the deterrent effect, some of the ringleaders were hanged in public on a main road close to the Magomero Estate where Europeans had been killed.

They were also surrounded by territories controlled by Britain, France, Belgium and Portugal.Colonial military forces in Africa were relatively small, poorly equipped and had been created to maintain internal order, rather than conduct military operations against other colonial forces. Most of the European warfare in Africa during the 19th century had been conducted against African societies to enslave people and later to conquer territory. The Berlin Conference of 1884, had provided for European colonies in Africa to be neutral, if war broke out in Europe; in 1914 none of the European powers had plans to challenge their opponents for control of overseas colonies. When news of the outbreak of war reached European colonialists in Africa, it was met by little of the enthusiasm seen in the capital cities of the states which maintained colonies. An editorial in the East African Standard on 22 August, argued that Europeans in Africa should not fight each other but instead collaborate, to maintain the repression of the indigenous population. War was against the interest of the white colonialists because they were small in number, many of the European conquests were recent, unstable and operated through existing local structures of power and the organisation of African economic potential for European profit had only recently begun.

Delia and I were zoology students who had come to Africa to start a wildlife research project. After months of searching for the right place, we found the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana. We decided it was an ideal place, so in 1974 we set up our base camp in the reserve. Much of the Central Kalahari was still unexplored because of the heat and lack of water. There were no villages near our base camp. We had to bring our water across the plains from a small town over 150 kilometers away. In an area larger than Ireland, our tiny research team of two and a few groups of native Africans were the only humans. The Kalahari was a difficult place for us to live. And it was difficult for the wild animals, too. They sometimes lived together peacefully, but often fought fiercely to survive. After having observed their way of living, we came to understand what the laws of nature really are. On the Kalahari we were just uninvited guests. It was important for us to leave the plains and the wild animals and plants as they were. (1)Where did Mark and Delia set up their base camp? (2)Why weren’t there many people living in the Central Kalahari? (3)What did they come to understand by watching the animals’ way of life? 打ち間違いをしていたらすいません。 上記の英文を和訳して、(1)(2)(3)の問題には英語で答えてもらいたいです。 お願いします。 ・・・ついでに私の以前の名前はnogarinでした。 saysheさんなら気付いてくださると思います。
