100 UNDER 100: THE RACE TO SAVE THE WORLD’S RAREST LIVING THINGS
Book ID/图书代码： 06002011B49777
English Summary/英文概要： Scientists estimate that the total biodiversity on Earth is between 10 million and 100 million species. Of these, just over 1.6 million and counting have actually been catalogued and described. One percent, or 16,306, of those species are threatened with extinction, about one-fifth of them critically. Of this group, some have vanishingly small populations in the double or single digits. A few species, including the Pinta Island giant tortoise and the Yangtze giant softshell turtle, sit squarely on the border of extinction in the wild with a population of one.In 100 Under 100, Scott Leslie tells the fascinating stories of species in far-flung places nobody ever hears about, like the northern hairy-nosed wombat, the Gorgan mountain salamander or the Irrawaddy river shark. Closer to home are the Vancouver Island marmot, the Wyoming toad and the Devil’s Hole pupfish. Leslie also tells stories of hopeful progress, as some of the rarest of the rare are back from the brink of extinction through the dedicated efforts of people around the world.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 科学家估计，在全地球上的生物多样性是10000000和100000000种之间。这中间，只有1600000多种实际已进行归类和描述。百分之一，或16306，这些物种濒临灭绝，约五分之一非常危急。这一组中，有一些数量微乎其微，数量为在双数甚至单位数。一些物种，包括平塔岛巨龟和长江巨鳖，正处于灭绝边缘，野生数量仅仅一只。 在100下100行动中，，史葛莱斯利讲述了在遥远的地方引人入胜的没有人听过的物种的故事，像北方毛鼻袋熊，在戈尔甘山蝾螈或伊洛瓦底江鲨。离家较近的是温哥华岛土拨鼠，怀俄明蟾蜍和魔鬼洞鱼。莱斯利也告诉了一些有希望的进展的故事，通过世界各地的人们的不懈努力，一些最罕见的物种从灭绝的边缘拉回来。(LNL)
