So what is rewilding?
Imagine our natural habitats growing instead of shrinking. Imagine species thriving, instead of declining. That's rewilding. Rewilding is ecological restoration and a little bit more. Rewilding offers hope for wildlife, humans and the planet.
Why is rewilding essential for Britain?
●Our ecosystems are broken. The places where you would expect wildlife to thrive have been reduced to wet deserts. The seabed has been damaged and stripped of its living creatures.
●Our wildlife is disappearing. Many wonderful British species have declined catastrophically over the past century. We've lost more of our large mammals than any European country except Ireland.
●We need keystone species. These vital species, including top predator(食肉动物),drive ecological processes. Their loss in Britain and around the world has worsened our living systems.
●Nature looks after us. Good ecosystems can provide us with clean air and water, prevent flooding, store carbon, and attract visitors. Rewilding can leave the world in a better state than it is today.
What are challenges?
Our "rewilding britain" is a long-term project. Of course it has its challenges. Many of us feel indifferent, because we have got used to the lack of native forests. Many farmers oppose the idea. They thought it a crazy idea to bring back predators to the country because they would start killing farm animals. It takes time to educate them. Above all, we need money! So we need your help!
Make a donation
Help us bring back Jiving systems and restore wild nature in Britain!
With your help we can...
●Open up new opportunities for rewilding and push for change.
●Develop tools to educate, influence and spread the word.
Thanks for your support.
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案,并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。
(1)What can we know from the result of rewilding?
A.A lot of species decline.
B.Species become various.
C.Ecosystems are greatly destroyed.
D.The seabed has been damaged.
(2)What's the greatest challenge at present?
A.People's indifference
B.Farmers' opposition
C.Shortage of time
D.A lack of fund
(3)What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To persuade people to change their mind.
B.To call on people to make a donation.
C.To convince people to care for predators.
D.To warn people of the bad ecosystem.
