查明了30个关键的南大洋生物多样性地区,需要保护其免受人类活动的影响,以拯救本地物种。 30 critical Southern Ocean biodiversity areas identified, requiring protection from human activities to save native species.
科罗拉多·博尔德大学的研究人员在南极洲周围的南大洋确定了30个新的生物多样性养护关键区域。 30 new critical areas for biodiversity conservation have been identified in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. 该研究报告发表在《养护生物学》上,警告说,如果不加强保护,土著野生动物,包括Adélie企鹅、Weddell海豹和座头鲸,由于捕鱼、旅游和气候变化的增加,人口将大量减少。 The study, published in Conservation Biology, warns that without increased protection, native wildlife, including Adélie penguins, Weddell seals, and humpback whales, face significant population declines due to increased fishing, tourism, and climate change. 研究人员希望各国政府和国际机构将利用其调查结果制定养护战略,限制人类在这些关键生物多样性地区的活动。 Researchers hope governments and international bodies will use their findings to develop conservation strategies and limit human activities in these key biodiversity areas.
