Preserving Nature for Future

Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar
needs are felt in the rest of Europe.Studies by the Council of Europe,of which 21
countries are members , have shown that 45 per cent of reptile（爬行动物）species and 24
per cent of butterflies（蝴蝶）are in danger of dying out.
European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr.Peter Baum,an expert in the
environment and natural resources division of the council,when he spoke at a conference
arranged by the administrators of a British national park.The park is one of the few areas in
Europe to hold the council's diploma（证书）for nature reserves (自然保护区) of the 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,"he went on.The short-sighted view that reserves had to serve immediate
human demands for outdoor recreation（户外娱乐）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（缩小）to become
mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land mass."
选项 Recent studies by the Council of Europe have indicated that
A:Britain is the only country where wildlife needs more protection.
B:all species of wildlife in Europe are in danger of dying out.
C:there are fewer species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe than elsewhere.
D:many species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe need protecting.
