Against the backdrop of a global loss of biodiversity, some wildlife species have recovered from severe decimation, as a recent report shows for dozens of species in Europe. While these encouraging signs don't diminish the current crisis of species loss, the analysis of the underlying reasons--ranging from targeted conservation measures to unintended consequences of changes in human behaviour--can help researchers understand what measures may help to save other species as well. Michael Gross reports.
在全球生物多样性丧失的背景下，正如最近的一份报告显示的那样，数十种欧洲野生动物物种已经从严重减少的状况中恢复过来。虽然这些令人鼓舞的迹象并没有减轻物种丧失的当前危机，但对潜在原因的分析——从有针对性的保护措施到人类行为变化的意外后果——可以帮助研究人员了解哪些措施可能有助于拯救其他物种。迈克尔·格罗斯报道。
