Wildlife groups in Florida are celebrating record numbers of sea turtle nests this season, but experts warn Donald Trump’s recent gutting of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) could reverse decades of their recovery from the edge of extinction.(佛罗里达野生动物组织庆祝海龟巢数量创纪录,但专家警告特朗普削弱《濒危物种法》可能逆转恢复进程。)
佛罗里达州的野生动物组织正在庆祝本季海龟巢数量创下纪录,但专家警告称,唐纳德·特朗普最近对《濒危物种法》的大幅削弱,可能会逆转它们数十年来从灭绝边缘恢复的进程。
With more than two months of the summer nesting season still to run(还有……要持续), loggerhead(蠵龟,红海龟) turtles have already made 13,770 nests, hundreds more than recorded in any previous year, along an 8.5-mile stretch(一段(海岸线)) of shoreline monitored by the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, on Florida’s Atlantic coast.
夏季筑巢季节还有两个多月才结束,在佛罗里达大西洋沿岸朱诺海滩由蠵龟海洋生物中心监测的 8.5 英里海岸线上,蠵龟已经筑了 13,770 个巢,比以往任何一年记录的数量都多出数百个。
The same record has fallen(纪录被打破) on Sanibel island, on the Gulf coast, where loggerheads have laid 922 nests so far this year, surpassing(超过,超越) the 2023 total of 878, according to the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation(萨尼贝尔-卡普蒂瓦保护基金会).
