As the two charts show, the world population in 2010 was nearly three times that in 1950, an increase accompanied by the extinction of 30,000 wildlife species during the 60-year period. A correlation is revealed that mankind has exerted a tremendous negative influence on wildlife species.
Currently, there is widespread concern regarding the previously neglected connection between a growing human population and decreasing wild species. Humankind's increasing need for land due to a rising population inevitably means that there will be competition between humans and wild species. And this is a battle that wildlife is losing and therefore there are more and more endangered species every year with some species dying out.
The effects of population growth on wildlife species are certain to continue unless drastic changes take place. The silver lining in the dark cloud is that if we take action to protect endangered wild species and their habitats now, mass extinction can be delayed.
参考译文
这两幅图显示，2010年的世界人口数量是1950年的近三倍。这60年间，伴随着人口增长，有三万个野生物种灭绝了。这揭示了一种联系：人类对野生物种产生了巨大的负面影响。
目前，人们普遍关注以前被忽略的人口增长与野生物种减少之间的联系。由于人口增长，人类对土地的需求越来越多，这必然意味着人类和野生物种之间将形成竞争关系。这场战役野生物种注定要输掉，因此每年濒临灭绝的物种越来越多，还有些物种彻底消亡了。
人口增长对野生物种的影响肯定会持续下去，除非发生翻天覆地的变化。在这片乌云背后还是有一线光明的：如果我们现在就采取行动保护濒危野生物种和它们的生活环境，就能推迟它们的大规模灭绝。
