'It's natural for species to become extinct over millions of years,' says Dr.Lovejoy.

このQ&Aのポイント
  • 'It's natural for species to become extinct over millions of years,' says Dr.Lovejoy. 'What's unnatural is that humans are speeding up the process many times over.' People are doing this in four main ways: destroying wildlife habitats, overhunting, introducing new species that endanger native wildlife, and polluting the environment.
  • These activities affect all species in one way or another. 'All life is interconnected,' cautions Dr.Lovejoy. Is there time to prevent disaster? Just barely, say scientists. Worldwide action will be difficult and costly. But scientists agree that action must be taken - quickly.

種が絶滅しているというのは、数百万年にわたる自然な営みである。自然でないのは、人間が絶滅の速度を何倍にも速めているということだ。人間は4つの方法で、絶滅を加速しているーー野生生物の生息地の破壊、過剰な狩猟、それまでにいた野生種の脅威となる新種の生物の持ち込み、そして環境汚染である。こうした活動は、いずれにせよ全ての種に影響する。「すべての生命は相互に関連している」とラブジョイ博士は警告する。災難を避けるにに時間はあるのか。かろうじて、と科学者たちは言う。世界規模の行動は難しく資金もいる。しかし行動を起こさなければならないーーすぐにもーーという点で科学者たちは合意する。時計はチクタク時を刻んでいるーー。 以上でいかがでしょうか?

    Now perhaps 400,000 remain. Loss of the elephant, nearly everyone agrees, would be tragic.Even worse, say scientists, would be the loss of smaller, often microscopic species.'It's the tiny species that really run the planet,' says Dr.Thomas Lovejoy, a conservationist.'Bacteria make digestion possible. Fungi give us penicillin and other medicines. Grass and other plants contribute oxygen.Worms and white ants are nature's recyclers.'

    Have you ever seen the fossils of dinosaurs in a museum?Some are gigantic and horrible and some are small and pretty.If dinosaurs ( (1)) today, the world would get into a total panic.Of course we know that they disappeard from the Earth about 65 million years ago.But wouldn`t you be surprised to hear that their descendants still exist today?Dinosaurs are reptiles that existed in ancient times.Today,reptiles can be found all over the world.For example,lizards,snakes,alligators and turtles are all reptiles.So, are these animals the direct descendants of dinosaurs?Some scientists say it`s actually birds that are the descendants of dinosaurs.This may seem unbelievable, because birds have feathers,wings and most of them can fly.These characteristics seem completely different from those of dinosaurs. But if you have seen the fossil of an ancient bird called the archaeopteryx , you may have noticed some similarities in form between the archaeopteryx and some dinosaurs.Recently,dinosaur fossils which share many properties with birds have been found(another/after/one). Some of them are said to have had feathers on thier body, In view of this evidence, more and more scientists have come to think that birds have evolved from dinosaurs of some kind. If dinosaurs hadn`t existed, there wouldn`t be any birds today. It`s a real surprise that two animals that look so different are so closely related to each other.

    Before this day ends, the last of some 45 kinds of plants and animals will die.A month from now, species will be gone. Within a year, the number of vanished species will total about 17,500.Scientists provide these estimates, which represent the most hopeful case.The actual numbers may prove to be much higher.Among the vanishing species are African elephants.Ivory hunters kill the elephants illegally at the rate of about 200 a day.Farmers in overcrowded countries squeeze elephant herds into spaces too small to support them.Ten years ago 1.5 million elephants roamed the African countryside.

It is vital that the IWC adopts a permanent ban on commercial whaling on the high seas, maintains and increases whale sanctuaries, and shames Japan into ending its flawed “scientific whaling”. It could be our last chance to properly conserve and safeguard the future of these magnificent animals. There are more than 80 species of whales and most species of whale are not endangered. In fact, based on scientific data, we can say that many species are abundant and increasing. This is particularly true for minke whales, Bryde’s whales and sperm whales, the species for which we have the best data.

    Huge number of unknown plants and animalsare also in danger.The earth, according to various estimates, supports between 5 million and 80 million species. Of these, scientists have found and named only about 1.5 million. 'Species,' says Dr.Lovejoy, 'are disappearing before we have a chance to learn how they might benefit the rest of the planet.' Thousands of kind of tropical plants could help feed a growing world population. About four out of every ten prescription medicines come from ingredients found in plants. Some animals also provide medicines.
