A group called the IUCN has a list of animals and plants. Many of these animals are in danger because of people.

一個名為 IUCN 的組織有一份動物與植物名單。其中許多動物因為人類而面臨危險。

Some animals live in the deep ocean. Mining for minerals kills these animals. But some special safe areas in the ocean help them stay alive.

有些動物生活在深海。開採礦物會殺死這些動物。但海洋中一些特殊的安全區域能幫助它們生存。

In Africa, the desert rain frog is in danger. People build big power lines and mine for diamonds. Also, some people steal these frogs to sell them as pets.

在非洲，沙漠雨蛙面臨危險。人類興建大型電線路並開採鑽石。此外，有些人會偷走這些青蛙將其作為寵物販賣。

In Australia, five small animals are gone forever. This happened because new, dangerous animals arrived. But the numbat is doing better. People built fences and helped them grow in number.

在澳洲，五種小型動物已經永遠消失。這是因為有新的危險動物遷入。但袋鼠鼠 (numbat) 的情況有所好轉。人類興建了圍欄，幫助它們增加數量。

In the UK, a special tree is disappearing. Trains and diseases killed most of these trees. Now, fewer than 50 trees are left.

在英國，一種特殊的樹正逐漸消失。火車與疾病殺死了大部分的這些樹。現在僅剩不到 50 棵樹。

Factories and climate change hurt animals. But if people make a good plan, they can save these animals.

工廠與氣候變遷傷害了動物。但如果人類制定良好的計劃，就能拯救這些動物。

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has updated its red list, which documents the dangerous status of many species affected by human activities.

國際自然保護聯盟 (IUCN) 已更新其紅色名單，記錄了許多受人類活動影響而處於危險狀態的物種。

The latest report emphasizes that species living in extreme environments are particularly vulnerable. In the deep sea, about two-thirds of mollusc species found near hydrothermal vents are threatened by potential mineral mining. The IUCN asserts that the movement of sediment from mining could kill species like Lirapex felix; however, marine protected areas have helped other species, such as Provanna exquisita, remain stable. Similarly, the desert rain frog in southern Africa is now classified as vulnerable. This is caused by the growth of energy infrastructure and diamond mining, as well as an increase in illegal poaching for the exotic pet trade after the species became popular online.

最新報告強調，生活在極端環境中的物種格外脆弱。在深海中，熱液噴口附近發現的軟體動物物種中，約有三分之二受到潛在礦產開採的威脅。IUCN 主張，開採造成的沉積物移動可能會導致 Lirapex felix 等物種死亡；然而，海洋保護區幫助了其他物種（如 Provanna exquisita）保持穩定。同樣地，南部非洲的沙漠雨蛙現在被歸類為易危。這是由於能源基礎設施和鑽石開採的增長，以及該物種在網路走紅後，非法捕捉以進行異寵貿易的情況增加所致。

In Australia, the data shows two very different results. Five marsupial species, including the little bettong, are now confirmed as extinct due to the spread of invasive predators. On the other hand, the numbat has shown a successful recovery, with its population growing from around 300 in the late 1970s to between 2,000 and 3,000 today. This improvement was achieved through the use of predator-proof fences, captive breeding, and moving animals to safer areas. Furthermore, botanical data shows that Wilmott's whitebeam in the UK is declining, as railway construction and unknown diseases have reduced the wild population to fewer than 50 plants.

在澳洲，數據顯示出兩種截然不同的結果。包括小袋鼠 (little bettong) 在內的五種有袋類動物，現已確認因入侵掠食者的擴散而滅絕。另一方面，numbat 則展現了成功的復甦，族群數量從 1970 年代末的約 300 隻增加到如今的 2,000 至 3,000 隻。這一進步是透過使用防掠食者圍欄、人工繁殖以及將動物遷移至更安全區域而實現的。此外，植物數據顯示英國的 Wilmott's whitebeam 正在減少，由於鐵路建設和未知疾病，野生數量已減至 50 株以下。

Although industrial growth and climate instability continue to threaten specialized wildlife, targeted conservation strategies have proven that it is possible to reverse the path toward extinction.

儘管工業增長與氣候不穩定持續威脅著特化野生動物，但針對性的保育策略已證明，扭轉滅絕之路是有可能的。

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has updated its red list, documenting the precarious status of numerous species subjected to anthropogenic pressures.

世界自然保護聯盟（IUCN）已更新其紅名冊，記錄了許多承受人為壓力且處境危險的物種。

The current assessment underscores a critical vulnerability among species adapted to extreme environments. In the deep-sea sector, approximately two-thirds of mollusc species endemic to hydrothermal vents are threatened by the prospective extraction of minerals. The IUCN notes that sediment displacement from mining activities poses a lethal risk to species such as Lirapex felix; conversely, the existence of marine protected areas has facilitated the stability of other vent-dwelling taxa, such as Provanna exquisita. Parallel pressures are observed in terrestrial habitats, where the desert rain frog is classified as vulnerable. This status is attributed to the expansion of energy infrastructure and diamond mining in southern Africa, compounded by an increase in illegal procurement for the exotic pet trade following digital exposure of the species.

目前的評估強調了適應極端環境的物種具有關鍵的脆弱性。在深海領域，約有三分之二原產於熱液噴口的軟體動物物種受到潛在礦物開採的威脅。IUCN 指出，採礦活動導致的沉積物位移對 Lirapex felix 等物種構成致命風險；相反，海洋保護區的存在促進了其他噴口分類群（如 Provanna exquisita）的穩定。陸地棲息地也觀察到類似壓力，沙漠雨蛙被歸類為易危。此狀態歸因於南部非洲能源基礎設施的擴張與鑽石開採，以及該物種在網路曝光後，非法採購以作為異寵的情況增加。

In the Australian context, the data presents a dichotomy of outcomes. The confirmation of extinction for five marsupial species—including the little bettong and various mulgaras—is attributed to the proliferation of invasive predators. However, the numbat demonstrates a successful recovery, with population figures increasing from approximately 300 in the late 1970s to a current estimate of 2,000 to 3,000. This rapprochement with stability was achieved through the implementation of predator-proof fencing, captive breeding, and strategic translocations. Furthermore, botanical data indicates the decline of Wilmott's whitebeam in the United Kingdom, where railway infrastructure and unidentified pathogens have reduced the wild population to fewer than 50 specimens.

在澳洲的情況下，數據呈現出截然不同的結果。五種有袋類動物（包括小袋鼠和多種穆爾加拉）被確認滅絕，這歸因於入侵掠食者的增加。然而，袋刷尾刷尾袋鼠（numbat）顯示出成功的恢復，數量從 1970 年代末的大約 300 隻增加到目前估計的 2,000 至 3,000 隻。這種對穩定狀態的恢復是透過實施防掠食者圍欄、人工繁殖和策略性遷徙而實現的。此外，植物數據顯示英國的 Wilmott's whitebeam 數量下降，其中鐵路基礎設施和不明病原體使野生數量減少至不足 50 株。

While industrial expansion and climate instability continue to jeopardize specialized biodiversity, targeted conservation strategies have proven capable of reversing extinction trajectories.

儘管工業擴張與氣候不穩定持續危及專門化的生物多樣性，但針對性的保育策略已證明能夠扭轉滅絕趨勢。
