解放军文职招聘考试鲨鱼和蝠鲼获国际保护(1/2)

 Shark fin soup is a delicacy in Asia. But its popularity is helping to decimate shark populations. However, governments voted Monday to protect five species of the predators. Preliminary approval came at a U.N. meeting on wildlife trade in Bangkok,Thailand. Conservationists have been trying for years to protect sharks. Success finally came at this year's meeting of CITES -- the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Governments also voted to protect two species of manta rays, as well. Final approval is expected Thursday, the last day of the meeting. Glenn Sant is the global marine program leader for TRAFFIC, an NGO concerned with biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. "We are quietly confident that that vote will now be the end of it. It was a very successful day as far as these shark species go and the manta ray with quite overwhelming votes on all of them." Any opponents of protecting the sharks have one last chance to change minds at the meeting's final plenary session. The five species that received at least two-thirds approval are the Oceanic Whitetip, Scalloped Hammerhead, Great Hammerhead, Smooth Hammerhead and Porbeagle. The manta rays include one species that lives near reefs and another that's migratory.

在亚洲，鱼翅羹是一道珍馐佳肴。但是它的受欢迎却使得鲨鱼的数量锐减。不过，周一各政府进行了投票，欲保护五种鲨鱼，最初的决议是在泰国曼谷召开的一次关于野生动物贸易的联合国会议上通过的。多年来，自然保育人士力图保护鲨鱼。终于，在今年华盛顿公约的会议上，他们迎来了成功。同时各国政府也投票保护两种蝠鲼。预计在周四，也就是会议最后一天，（提案）将获得最终通过。Glenn Sant是TRAFFIC组织全球海洋项目的负责人。这是一个关注生物多样性保护和可持续发展的非政府组织。“我们相当有信心，此次投票将会是最后一次。对这几种鲨鱼和蝠鲼来说，这（周一）是非常成功的一天，因为它们都获得了压倒性的票数。”在此次会议最终的全体大会上，任何反对者仍有最后一次机会改变立场。

得到至少三分之二票同意的五种鲨鱼分别是：海洋白鳍鲨，红肉丫髻鲛，无沟双髻鲨，丫髻鲛和鼠鲨。两种蝠鲼：一种沿礁脉生活，另一种则有迁移习性
