The U.N. Reports That 1 Million Species Could Go Extinct. It Shows How Hard It Will Be to Heal the Planet
联合国报告称100万物种可能灭绝。它展示了拯救地球是多么的困难
There’s an awful lot of awful in the just-released summary of a new U.N. report on biodiversity and ecosystem. There’s the tenfold increase in plastic pollution since 1980, for example. There’s the 400 million tons of heavy metals, toxic sludge and fertilizer runoff poured into the world’s water each year too. There’s the doubling of greenhouse gas emissions since 1980; the growth of industrial fishing, now sprawling across 55% of the world’s oceans, the 85% loss of the wetlands since the dawn of the industrial era, and the 70% increase in invasive species in 21 countries.
联合国刚刚发布了一份关于生物多样性和生态系统的新报告，其摘要内容糟糕透顶。例如，自1980年以来，塑料污染增加了10倍。每年还有4亿吨重金属、有毒污泥和化肥流入世界水体。自1980年以来，温室气体排放量翻了一番;工业化捕鱼的增长，现在已经蔓延到世界55% 的海洋;自工业时代开始以来，湿地减少了85% ;21个国家的入侵物种增长了70% 。
And then, finally, and perhaps most worrying are the extinctions. According to the conclusions of the 455 experts and contributing authors from 50 countries who drafted the report for the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), up to 1 million species of plants and animals are now threatened with extinction, some within decades, including 40% of all amphibians, 33% of marine mammals, and another 33% of shark, shark relatives and reef-forming corals.
最后，也许最令人担忧的是物种的灭绝。根据为生物多样性和生态系统服务政府间科学政策平台(IPBES)起草报告的来自50个国家的455名专家和特约作者的结论，多达100万种动植物目前面临灭绝的威胁，其中一些在几十年内就会灭绝，其中包括40% 的所有两栖动物，33% 的海洋哺乳动物，以及另外33% 的鲨鱼、鲨鱼和造礁珊瑚。
