Preserving Nature for Future

butterflies(蝴蝶)are in danger Of dying out．

and natural resources division of the council，when he spoke at a conference arranged by也e
administrators of a British national park．The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council’s diploma(證書)for nature reserves(自然保護區(qū))of me highest quality, and Dr．Baum
had come to present it to the park once again．He was afraid that public opinion was turning
against national parks，and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today．
But Dr．Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed
To be allowed to survive in peace in their own right．
“No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist
attraction?！県e went on．The short．sighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human
demands for outdoor recreation(戶外娛樂)should be replaced by full acceptance of their
importance as places to preserve nature for the future．
“We forget that they are the guarantee of life systems，on which any built-up area ultimately
depends．”Dr．Baum went on．“We could manage without most industrial products，but we could
not manage without nature．However, our natural environment areas，which are the original parts
of our countryside，have shrunk(縮小)to become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted
1andmass．”
