根據一項新的基因研究指出,人類活動造成森林消失,已經引起猩猩數量大幅減少。該研究顯示,猩猩數量遽減是發生在過去這個世紀—尤其是最後的幾十年—而這跟猩猩賴以生存的森林大量消失有關。
Genetic Study Shows Direct Human Link to Orangutan Decline
Human deforestation has caused the catastrophic collapse of orangutan populations, according to a new genetic study. The research shows that the population decline has occurred within the past century - much of it within the past few decades - coinciding with massive deforestation of orangutan habitat.
