100 Amazon birds risk extinction, group says
The list of Amazon bird species facing danger of extinction has risen sharply because their rainforest habitat is being slashed to make room for cattle ranching and agriculture, a conservationist group said Thursday.
BirdLife International said that globally, 1,331 types of birds, or 13 percent of the world's 10,064 total bird species, were listed as at risk on this year's Red List of Threatened Species issued by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. That's up from the 1,253 species classified as threatened on last year's list.
The biggest jump came in the Amazon, where 100 Amazon avian species are now on the Red List, three of them in the highest-risk, "critically endangered" category. Only 10 were listed last year. The sudden jump is due to new models of future deforestation, which predicted accelerating destruction over the coming decade.
"We have previously underestimated the risk of extinction that many of Amazonia's bird species are facing," said Leon Bennun, BirdLife's director of science, in a news release from the organization, which is an umbrella group representing conservation groups around the globe.
"Given the weakening of Brazilian forest law, the situation might be even worse than recent studies have predicted," he said, referring to Brazil's new Forest Code, which loosens protections on the Amazon and is expected to take effect in the coming months.
The Rio Branco antbird was catapulted to the "critically endangered" category this year from the "near threatened" category on the 2011 list, meaning the bird was of some concern but not considered at risk of extinction, to the top, "critically endangered" category this year. The antbird's relatively long, 10-12 year life-span makes it difficult for the little black bird with delicate white markings on its wings to adapt to habitat destruction, said BirdLife spokesman Martin Fowlie.

一个自然资源保护团体称,濒临灭绝的亚马逊丛林鸟类的数目急剧增长,因为为了发展农业和牧场养殖业,这些鸟类赖以生存的热带雨林栖息地正在被削减。
这突然的增长是因为未来的森林砍伐这些新模型,这些模型预示了在接下来的10年中,破坏将加速。
这种蚁鸟(翅膀上有精致的白色标记的黑色鸟类)相对要长一些的平均寿命(10到12年)使得它们很难适应生境破坏,国际鸟盟发言人Martin Fowlie如是说。

1. 上周四,自然资源保护团体说,亚马逊地区鸟类物种面临着消失的危险,这种危险已经急剧加重。因为鸟类热带雨林栖息地已在减少,用于农牧业的牲畜饲养。
2. 物种急剧减少是由于新模式下的超支采伐森林,这种超支采伐森林预示着未来10年森林将加速毁灭。
3. 国际鸟盟发言人马丁·欧菲表示, 蚁鸟的寿命相对较长,可达10-12年,幼鸟的翅膀上带有白色的标记,使其很难适应栖息地被破坏。

来了,
第一句:某自然资源保护团体于周四声称,为给牧场与农业提供空间导致雨林栖息地被迫消减,从而造成亚马逊内面临灭种危机的鸟类列表迅速增长。
第二句:未来森林采伐模式正是导致列表内鸟类数目剧增的罪魁祸首。此模式也预示着在未来的十年里,破坏程度将会加速增大。
第三句:国际鸟盟发言人Martin Fowlie指明,蚁鸟的寿命相对较长,大约10-12年,对于这些翅膀上拥有精美图案的小黑家伙们来说,要适应这片被破坏的栖息地就有些困难了。
哦了吧

一家自然保护组织周四称,因为热带雨林栖息地被牧场和农业大幅挤占,亚马逊面临灭绝的鸟类名单剧增。
这种(濒危鸟类种族的)剧增源于新一轮的森林滥砍滥伐,而这些滥砍滥伐在未来十多年内,还将进一步加剧这些鸟类走向灭亡。
国际鸟类生活组织发言人Martin Fowlie称,蚁鸟的寿命相对较长,大约10-12年。要适应这片被破坏的栖息地,对这些翅膀上长有精美图案的小黑家伙们来讲,就有些困难了。

第一句:某自然保护团体于周四表示,为给畜牧场和农业制造空间,鸟类的雨林栖息地正在被破坏。这导致了亚马逊濒临灭绝的鸟类种类急速增加。
第二句:突然的增加是因为未来砍伐森林的新模式。这种模式预示着在接下来的十年将加速破坏。
第三句:蚁鸟的寿命相当长。10-12年的寿命使得这个翅膀有着洁白漂亮羽毛的小黑鸟很难适应栖息地的破坏。鸟类团体的发言人的马丁.弗利表示。

亚马逊面临灭绝的鸟类名单又显著增加,因为它们赖以生存的热带雨林正在被砍伐,用于给牧场和农业做屋子。一个生态环境保护组织者周四说道。
面临种类灭绝的名单突然的增加,是由于未来砍伐森林的新形式,可以预见到在接下来几十年这种破坏将加速。
这种蚁鸟相当长的10-12年的生命周期,使得具有着在翅膀上有着异常的白色标记的这个小黑鸟很难适应生态环境的破坏。一位鸟类自然组织发言人马丁说。
