南Marlborough景观恢复信托正打击侵入性野生小锥虫(主要是Douglas fir)在新西兰Wairau山谷50 000公顷的土地上的迅速蔓延,那里每年的虫害增加约400公顷。 The South Marlborough Landscape Restoration Trust is fighting the rapid spread of invasive wilding conifers, mainly Douglas fir, across a 50,000-hectare area in New Zealand’s Wairau Valley, where infestations grow by about 400 hectares annually. 入侵威胁到土著生态系统,包括29种受到国家威胁的植物物种——9种是该区域特有的物种——并危及农业、旅游业和供水。 The invasion threatens native ecosystems, including 29 nationally threatened plant species—nine unique to the region—and endangers agriculture, tourism, and water supplies. 该信托基金在60多名志愿人员和Rātā基金会45万美元赠款的支持下,从偏远的高山地区清除了50 000棵树,并在10 000公顷的土地上进行了空中治疗。 The Trust, supported by over 60 volunteers and a $450,000 grant from the Rātā Foundation, has removed 50,000 trees from remote alpine zones and conducted aerial treatments on 10,000 hectares. 一项经同行审查的十年计划估计每年需要1 000万美元,以制止当地生境的蔓延和恢复,官员们强调,持续的社区主导行动对于防止不可逆转的生态损害至关重要。 A peer-reviewed 10-year plan estimates $10 million annually is needed to halt the spread and restore native habitats, with officials stressing that sustained community-led action is critical to prevent irreversible ecological damage.
