狮子星巴野生动物保护杂谈 |
星巴点评:美国国家地理专门做了一个专题:“Big Cats Initiative”,提醒公众关注和支持野生大猫面临的生存危机,其中有一个主题是正在消失的狮群losing lions,用flash动画和时间表的形式形象显示了狮子数量减少的趋势。200年前,狮子还生活在从非洲大陆到印度巴基斯坦的广袤土地上,数量约有200万只。到2000年,狮子仅存2万只,而且仅限于生活在非洲大陆东部和南部非洲的一些国家的自然保护区里面。导致生态链最重要的大型猫科动物濒临灭绝的主要原因是:人类的活动的影响(工业、农业、林业、畜牧业、猎杀、偷猎和全球气候变暖),导致狮子栖息地的丧失。

Lions are dying off rapidly across Africa. These cats once
ranged across the continent and into Syria, Israel, Iraq, Pakistan,
Iran, and even northwest India; 2,000 years ago more than a million
lions roamed the Earth. Since the 1940s, when lions numbered an
estimated 450,000, lion populations have blinked out across the
continent. Now they may total as few as 20,000 animals. Scientists
connect the drastic decreases in many cases to burgeoning human
populations. The Big Cats Initiative aims to halt lion population
declines by the year 2015 and to restore populations to sustainable
levels. You can be part of this important work by
donating to the Big Cats Initiative or by
applying for a grant to help big
cats.
Proposals Encouraged:
Innovative projects with quick results for saving lions
- Anti-poaching programs
- Projects that test new technology
- Educational projects focused on community
- Projects that establish economic incentives for local people to ensure long-term survival of lions
