“如果我们不去认识这些千古的灭绝过程，我们就无法去抗衡未来更多的物种灭绝事件。” 动物化石，不只是冰冷的遗骸，更是解开生命谜题的钥匙。 二十多年来，林泽昇追寻跨越八千万年的痕迹，从婆罗洲亚洲象的牙齿残片，到黑风洞红毛猩猩的化石，每一次发现，都让我们更接近真相：谁在这里生活过？他们为何又消失？埋藏在化石里的答案，揭示了远古人类与环境如何一步步塑造出今日的生态面貌。 认识过去，才能守护现在。那些看似 “灭绝的故事”，其实正提醒我们：保护濒危物种，不只是科学的课题，更是你我共同的责任。 “If we fail to understand these mass extinction events from the past, we won't be able to prevent those in the future.” More than cold and lifeless remains, fossils are the keys to unlocking the mysteries of life. For over twenty years Lim Tze Tshen has searched for tr ...

研究结果显示，到本世纪末，预计将有近8000种物种面临不适宜的生存条件，包括气候变化导致的极端 高温以及人类活动导致的栖息地丧失。 以色列内盖夫本-古里安大学、英国牛津大学等机构的研究人员在学术期刊《全球变化生物学》上报告 说，城市化、农业扩张等土地利用方式变化以及其他人类活动，正在破坏动物的自然栖息地，并可能引 发大规模物种灭绝。 研究人员对近3万种哺乳动物、鸟类、爬行动物和两栖动物的生存状况进行了分析，研究了它们偏好的 栖息地环境、可承受的温度范围，以及21世纪气候变化和土地利用变化的预测情况。 新华社耶路撒冷12月18日电（记者王卓伦 冯国芮）一个国际团队日前发布的研究显示，由于气候变化 引发极端高温、人类活动挤压栖息地，到本世纪末，近8000种哺乳动物、鸟类、爬行动物和两栖动物可 能面临灭绝风险。 研究指出，非洲萨赫勒地区、巴西大片区域以及中东部分地区受影响尤为严重。地球未来可能面临物种 多样性大幅下降、生态系统遭受破坏的局面，这将对人类生存环境造成严重影响。研究人员希望采取全 球行动加强环境和自然保护，以维护生物多样性。（完） ...
