The mother’s hands were peeling(脱皮) from walking on the torched(被烧焦的) ground. Her eight-month-old baby, which clung to her side, was dehydrated(脱水的) and thin. The pair, named Mama Abu and Abu (“ash” in Indonesian), were found in an oil palm subsidiary(附属的;子公司) estate, rescuers say.
这位母亲的手因在烧焦的地面上行走而脱皮。她八个月大的幼崽紧紧依偎在她身旁,脱水而瘦弱。救援人员说,这对红毛猩猩母子是在一处油棕子公司种植园里被发现的,它们被取名为“Mama Abu”和“Abu”(印尼语意为“灰烬”)。
The orangutan pair were saved last month from wildfires that are devouring(吞噬) Indonesia’s forests and peatland(泥炭地), unleashing(释放出) thick smog(烟雾), and destroying the habitat of some of the planet’s most vulnerable species(地球上最脆弱的物种).
这对红毛猩猩上个月从野火中被救出。这场大火正在吞噬印尼的森林和泥炭地,释放出浓重烟雾,摧毁着地球上一些最脆弱物种的栖息地。
Primate(灵长类动物) specialists from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) have called for urgent international assistance(呼吁紧急国际援助) to help control the fires, warning this week that thousands of orangutans could be killed, injured or displaced(流离失所的).
国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)的灵长类专家呼吁国际社会紧急援助,帮助控制火势,并于本周警告称,数千只红毛猩猩可能被烧死、烧伤或流离失所。
