  • The world's animal species are dying, and humans are a big reason why.
  • 世界上的动物物种正在灭亡,人类是重要的原因。
  • The World Wildlife Fund's Living Planet Report shows global populations of wild mammals, fish, birds, amphibians and reptiles declined 58 percent on average between 1970 and 2012.
  • 世界野生动物基金会的报告显示,全球的野生哺乳类、鱼类、鸟类、两栖类和爬行类动物的数量在1970到2012年间下降了百分之58。
  • And it's not stopping there. If 1970 is our baseline, the world is on track to lose an estimated two-thirds of its wild animal populations by 2020.
  • 而且并没有停止。如果1970年是我们的基线,到2020年世界将失去估计三分之二的野生动物。
  • But the extinction rate shouldn't be a surprise. Well-known species like eastern and western Gorillas are both critically endangered.
  • 但灭绝率不该是什么意外。众所周知的物种,如东部和西部的大猩猩都极度濒危。
  • Poaching is decimating elephant populations. And you can count the number of northern white rhinos on one hand.
  • 偷猎正在减少大象的数量。你可以用一只手数清北方白犀牛的数量。
  • The declines are caused by habitat loss from urban development, over-hunting, pollution, disease and climate change,all of which are tied to humans.
  • 数量下降是由于城市发展带来的栖息地丧失、过度狩猎、污染、疾病以及气候变化,所有这些都与人类联系在一起。
  • The point is this: Earth is becoming inhospitable,both to animals and to humans.
  • 关键的一点是:地球正变得不适合居住,对动物和人类都一样。
  • The plus side? We're getting better at recognizing our negative contributions, and researchers say that's one of the "first steps" to fixing the problem.
  • 另一方面,我们正更好的认识我们负面的影响,研究人员称,这是解决问题的“第一步”。
