守護家園
BBC News:
More than 8,000 conservationists and policy makers are in Barcelona, Spain, for the IUCN World Conservation Congress.
Held once every four years, the gathering is viewed as a landmark event where future conservation strategies are developed.
四年一次的IUCN世界保育論壇在西班牙的巴塞隆納舉行，有超過八千名環境保育者參與，這個論壇被看作制定將來生態保育戰略的重要里程碑。
以下是環境保護學者Richard Black的紀錄剪貼:

生態保育已成為一個豐富的生態系統:
It's a rich ecosystem:
The great fields of the green world now contain lawyers, to draft environmental treaties and laws and make sure people obey them. Economists calculate the financial costs of nature loss and the benefits of sustainable businesses.
Engineers work out how to re-invigorate dying watercourses. Communications chiefs look for new ways of getting the word out. Hunters run sustainable trophy-hunting schemes that raise money for conservation.
Gender specialists engage women in conservation in societies where they may not have a lot of power. Entrepreneurs leverage funds - a term you would never hear from an ecologist - for green technologies.
It's a rich ecosystem. "
簡單來說，生態保育並不只需要生態學家，更重要的是，它需要各方面的專才：
律師：簽訂環境保護協定及訂定能讓人遵守的律法；
經濟學家：計算自然能供給企業的平衡點;
工程師：找出讓失去健康的水道活起來的方法；
企劃專員：找出新方法來宣傳環境保護的重要性；
社工：讓活動動起來，及聚集資金... 等等
生態保育已自成了一個豐富的生態系統，需要的不只是生態學者，還需要各種方面的專才才能讓生態保育動起來。
More to come...
