6、 be found in Andasibe. Walking through this rain forest in Madagascar is like stepping into the library of life. Sunlight seeps through the silky fringes of the Ravenea louvelii, an endangered palm (棕榈树) found, like so much else on this African island, nowhere else.Madagascar which separated from In
7、dia 80 million to 100 million years ago before eventually settling off the southeastern coast of Africa, is in many ways an Earth apart. All that time in geographic isolation made Madagascar a Darwinian playground, its animals and plants evolving into forms utterly original. Some 90% of the islands
8、plants and about 70% of its animals arc endemic, meaning that they arc found only in Madagascar. But what makes life on the island unique also makes it uniquely vuhnerable, which means if we lose these animals on Madagascar, theyre gone forever.That loss seems likelier than ever because the animals
9、are under threat as never before. Once lushly forested, Madagascar has seen more than 80% of its original vegetation cut down or burned since humans arrived at least 1500 years ago, fragmenting habitats and leaving animals effectively homeless. Unchecked hunting wiped out a number of large species,
10、and today mining, logging and energy exploration threaten those that remain. It has an area the size of New Jersey in Madagascar that is still under forest, and all this incredible diversity is crammed into it.Madagascar is a conservation hot spot a term for a region that is very biodiverse and part
11、icularly threatened-and while that makes the island special, it is hardly alone. Conservationists estimate that extinctions worldwide are occurring at a pace that is up to 1 000 times as great as historys background rate before human beings began scattering. Worse, that die-off could be accelerating
12、.Price of ExtinctionThere have been five extinction waves in the planets historyincluding the Permian (二叠纪的) extinction 250 million years ago, when an estimated 70% of all terrestrial animals and 96 % of all marine creatures vanished, and, most recently, the Cretaceous (白垩纪的) event 65 million ),ears
13、 ago, which ended the reign of the dinosaurs. Though scientists have directly assessed the viability of fewer than 3% of the worlds described species, the sample polling of animal populations so far suggests that we may have entered what will be the planets sixth great extinction wave. And this time
14、 the cause isnt an unsteady planet or volcanoes. Its us.Through our growing numbers, our thirst for natural resources and, most of all, climate change- which, by one reckoning, could help carry off 20% to 30% of all species before the end of the century- were shaping an Earth that will be biological
15、ly exhausted. A 2008 assessment by the: International Union for Conservation of Nature found that nearly 1 in 4 mammals worldwide were at risk for extinction, including endangered species. Over fishing and acidification of the oceans are threatening marine species as diverse as the corals.Scary for conservationists, yes. but the question arises: Why should it matter to the rest of us? After all, nearly all the species that were ever alive in the past are gone today. Evolution demands extinction. When were using the term extinction to talk about the fate of the US auto industry, d
