Message from Martha Rojas Urrego, Secretary-General of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, on World Wildlife Day 2022
《湿地公约》秘书长玛莎·罗杰斯·乌瑞格2022年世界野生动植物日致辞
World Wildlife Day is an opportunity to celebrate wildlife and nature on which we all depend. From fresh water and food to medicines and carbon storage, we all rely on ecosystems and their component species for our health and prosperity.
世界野生动植物日为我们提供了一个机会，来庆祝人人都赖以生存的野生动植物及大自然。从淡水和食物到药品和碳储存，我们都依靠生态系统以及组成它的物种来促进我们的健康和繁荣。
But today, over a million of those species face threat of extinction. When we lose species, entire ecosystems can decline and disappear. At the same time, we need healthy ecosystems to ensure that species can survive and thrive.
但今天，有100多万个物种面临灭绝的威胁。当我们失去物种时，整个生态系统将会衰落和消失。与此同时，我们需要健康的生态系统，以确保物种能够生存和茁壮成长。
The urgency to better understand species’ relationship with ecosystems is shown starkly by wetlands. Wetlands are home to 40% of all global species. But since 1970, we have lost 35% of global wetlands. Today, one in three freshwater species and 25% of all wetlands’ species face extinction, including water birds, fresh water-dependent mammals, marine turtles and coral-reef building species.
湿地清楚地表明，我们迫切需要更好地了解物种与生态系统的关系。湿地是全球40%物种的家园。但自1970年以来，我们已经失去了35%的全球湿地。今天，三分之一的淡水物种和25%的湿地物种面临灭绝，包括水鸟、依赖淡水的哺乳动物、海龟和珊瑚礁生物群落。
This year, World Wildlife Day focuses on recovering key species for ecosystem restoration. We cannot meet our global biodiversity or sustainable development goals without acting dually to protect species and conserve and restore the ecosystems in which they live. And we know this works. For example, efforts to conserve sea otters, a key-stone species for coastal wetlands have helped to stabilize entire kelp forest ecosystems in the United States, Russia and Japan.
今年，世界野生动物日的重点是恢复关键物种以恢复生态系统。如果不采取双重行动来保护物种，养护和恢复它们所生活的生态系统，我们就无法实现全球生物多样性或可持续发展目标。我们知道这行得通。例如，通过保护海獭这一沿海湿地的关键物种，我们已使美国、俄罗斯和日本的整个海藻森林生态系统变得稳定。
On this day, let’s commit to protecting our species and ecosystems for a safer, sustainable world.
今天，让我们致力于保护我们的物种和生态系统，创造一个更加安全、更可持续的世界。 |
