3、vation success stories is one about birds called Mauritius kestrels. In the 1970s, just four of these birds of prey were left in the world. Through a special breeding program, scientists were able to increase their number to about 1,000 and release them into the wild.Humpback whales(座头鲸) have benefi

But the species is now in less danger, thanks to laws that ban whale hunting. The IUCN even moved the humpback into “species o

The breed multiplied from just 50 animals to about 17,000. Their home has been turned into a protected area, safe from poachers and other threats.Stuart Butc

Only 1 percent of oceans and 12 percent of land areas were protected under prior agreements. Two new goals s

I m so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got
13、on board, we noticed two big humps (脊背) in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldnt believe it there arent any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted th

The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools (漩涡) and waves. “She s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side, ” my father said. At this point, my fa
15、ther moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but mi
16、ssed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their fir
17、st part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of

But scientifically, it is not possible to arrive at a mortality figure for it，”Shanker, a professor at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, said.
