【生态】 Sumatran Tigers in crisis——苏门答腊虎的危机

只看楼主收藏回复

原文不贴出了,真心默哀。原资料来自“TIGERS IN CRISIS”官网。
据估计,目前只有500-600苏门答腊虎存活在野外,而实际数字可能会低至400。他们的数量正迅速减少。
在1978年的虎普查报告中,仍然有1000只左右的苏门答腊虎存活在野外。这意味着,在过去的几十年里,苏门答腊虎的数量已减少了一半。
苏门答腊虎被认作为严重濒危的物种。

苏门答腊虎目前只在印尼苏门答腊岛的马来西亚半岛被发现。它们的栖息地范围包括低地森林、山地森林,还有沼泽和常绿的热带雨林。
近年来,苏门答腊农业技术增长空间很大,这个老虎栖息地已经支离破碎。大部分剩余的苏门答腊虎现在生活在五个国家公园,和两个给受伤的虎提供食物的储备内,但约有100只生活
在未受保护的地区,将有可能消失在不久的将来。

栖息地的破坏被认为是苏门答腊虎生存的最大威胁,其次是偷猎,老虎非常容易在无保护的地区遭受偷猎。
虽然猎杀苏门答腊虎是非法的,但是这并没能阻止偷猎者偷猎这些老虎,制成虎制品。中国是制造的产品含有老虎器官的最大消费与生产的国家,虎骨和虎产品已在台湾和韩国、北美的城市出售。
如果他们能活下来,或者不是一个濒临灭绝的物种,那么,人们需要有足够的智慧,才能看到苏门答腊虎的地方与文化。

    尊重版权,原文如下——
    It is estimated that only between 500-600 Sumatran tigers remain in the wild, andthe actual number may be as low as 400. And their population is dwindling rapidly.
    A 1978 a tiger census reported around 1,000 Sumatran tigers still in the wild. This means over the last 25 years, the population of Sumatran tigers has been cut in half.
    The Sumatran tiger is considered to be a ‘critically’ endangered species.
    The Sumatran tiger is found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra off the Malaysian Peninsula. Their habitat ranges from lowland forest to mountain forest and includes evergreen, swamp and tropical rain forests.
    In recent years Sumatra has seen a great deal of agricultural growth and this has fragmented the tigers habitat. Most of the remaining Sumatran tigers now live in five National Parks, two Game Reserves, though around 100 live in an unprotected area that will most likely be lost to agriculture in the near future.
    This destruction of habitat is considered the greatest threat to the survival of the Sumatran tiger, followed by poaching. The tigers are especially vulnerable to poaching in the ‘unprotected’ areas.
    Although it is illegal to hunt Sumatran tigers, this has not stopped the poaching of these animals for tiger products. China is considered the largest consumer and producer of manufactured products containing tiger parts, though tiger bones and other tiger products have been found in Taiwan and South Korea, and in North American cities.
    If they are to survive, or not be an endangered species, then people need to have the wisdom to see the Sumatran tiger's place in the world and in a culture.

      正如同后文,如果人类不觉悟,苏门答腊虎会消失在世界上。

          补充一点东西:
          Threats:
          Reports estimate that deforestation and agricultural conversion has resulted in the clearing of about 30 million acres (12 million hectares) of Sumatran forest in the past 22 years, a loss of nearly 50 percent. In addition to deforestation, the Sumatran tiger is also threatened by habitat fragmentation, which occurs even in protected areas (though to a lesser extent than in unprotected regions). The encroachment into tiger habitat has triggered increasingly frequent and deadly conflicts between humans and tigers. And poaching and illegal trade in tiger parts (ground bone for folk cures, genitalia for food and skin for fur) continues to pose an enormous threat. According to a report by Shepherd and Magnus, from 1998 to 2002 at least 51 tigers per year were killed, 76 percent for trade and 15 percent because of human-tiger conflict. A 2007 survey by Ng and Nemora found the parts of at least 23 tigers for sale in markets around the island of Sumatra. Predators include hawks and other raptors, wild cats and large snakes.

          报告估计,砍伐森林和农业的转换导致大约30000000英亩(12000000公顷)被毁坏.苏门答腊森林在过去的22年中,损失了近百分之50。除了砍伐森林,苏门答腊虎也受到栖息地破碎化的威胁,甚至发生在保护区(尽管在较小的程度比未受保护的地区)。侵犯了老虎的栖息地已经引发了越来越多的人类和老虎之间的冲突。偷猎和非法老虎器官的贸易(民间疗法,地骨生殖器皮食物和皮肤)继续构成巨大威胁。根据牧羊犬和大的报告,从1998到2002,每年至少有51只老虎被杀,贸易和百分之15百分之76因为人虎冲突。2007的一项调查由吴和nemora在苏门答腊岛的市场发现至少有23只老虎出售的部分。食肉动物包括鹰和其他猛禽,野生猫和大的蛇。
