由于当地种子严重短缺,澳大利亚30%的土地保护目标面临风险,只有12%的植物物种可用。 Australia’s 30% land protection goal is at risk due to a severe shortage of native seeds, with only 12% of plant species available.

本地种子短缺正在危及澳大利亚到2030年保护30%土地的目标,澳大利亚25 000种本地植物物种中只有12%可以作为种子。 A shortage of native seeds is jeopardizing Australia’s goal to protect 30% of its land by 2030, with only 12% of the nation’s 25,000 native plant species available as seed. 农业、采矿和发展造成的生境损失,加上气候变化,减少了种子来源,特别是诸如南澳大利亚Eyre半岛的潮湿树脂等关键物种的种子来源。 Habitat loss from agriculture, mining, and development, along with climate change, has reduced seed sources, especially for key species like the drooping sheoak on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula. 自然保护者警告说,依靠不断减少的野生人口来提供种子有可能导致生态退化,破坏恢复项目和政府方案,例如自然修复市场。 Conservationists warn that relying on dwindling wild populations to supply seeds risks ecological degradation, undermining restoration projects and government programs like the Nature Repair Market. 科学家敦促采取更强有力的行动,包括保护种子生产生境和投资于可持续种子生产,以确保恢复努力重建真正的、具有复原力的生态系统。 Scientists urge stronger action, including protecting seed-producing habitats and investing in sustainable seed production, to ensure restoration efforts rebuild authentic, resilient ecosystems.
