世界之旅:反偷獵者,印度

【英文原文】

India, Anti-Poachers, 1997
"Setting forests aside for tigers is one thing, ensuring that they remain protected is something else again. Protecting wildlife from poachers requires strict policing, but the battered rifles the guards carry are no match for the automatic weapons wielded by intruders."

—Text adapted from "Making Room for Wild Tigers," December 1997, National Geographic magazine

【中文翻譯】

“爲老虎保留森林棲息地是一回事，確保它們受到保護又是另一回事了。保護野生動物不被偷獵者捕殺需要嚴格的管制，但是森林管理人員攜帶的舊步槍比不上入侵者使用的自動武器。”
