Unit One Man and NatureText B物种灭绝——过去和将来理查德·利基我在肯尼亚的图尔卡纳湖东岸工作时度过了生命中最激动人心的一些日子，寻找我们人类祖先的化石残骸。
我们并不总是想找什么就能得到什么，但是，除了我们祖先的遗迹外，每天都会发现更多的东西。
那些化石，有些相当完整，有些仅是碎片，道出了另一个世界。
在那个世界，约150万年至200万年前，许多今天非洲哺乳动物的祖先漫游在肥沃的草原和森林边缘。
当时的环境与现在非洲雨水更多的一些草原没有太大区别，但那里当时到处生活着今天早已灭绝的令人称奇的动物。
不仅非洲如此，世界上任何地方的化石记录下来的一切，都是一样。
据估计，在过去的6亿年中，这个世界上存在过的物种，有95％以上都已灭绝了。
工农业不断的扩展加速了当前物种灭绝的步伐，因此，我们该不该关心一下这个问题？有没有必要尽力去减慢这个永不停止的过程呢？我认为是应该的。
我们知道，人类的健康发展与其他许多物种的健康发展紧密相关，而我们不能确知哪一种生物对我们的生存最为重要。
但是，解决物种灭绝的危机问题决非易事，因为世界上许多生物多样性地区位于最贫穷的国家，尤其是亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲。
这些国家划拨土地，兴建国家公园和自然保护区而禁止人类侵入甚至接近它们，人们能接受吗？当一个国家相当大一部分人仍生活在贫困线以下，去花大笔钱挽救一些物种，这样做是否合适呢？这些问题令我对倡导在贫穷国家中推行野生动植物的保护感到不安。
然而我相信我们能够——而且也应该——做大量的工作。
这是一个改变侧重点的问题。
大量资金已投入到对濒危物种的野外科学研究和会议上。
但是，能不能给那些保护野生动物使之不被偷猎的公园管理人员提供些胶鞋和车子？能不能为那些靠伐木和种地为生的当地人提供别的经济出路，帮助他们发展？这些资金很难获得。
我们不应该要求贫穷国家的人们在自己的短期生存和长期环境需求之间做出选择。
假如他们的政府愿意保护环境，所需的资金应由国际组织提供。
