根据两张图所示
As is shown by the two graphs,
从1800年到1990年，美国人口从200万猛增到2.5亿
the U.S. population soared from 2 million to 250 million from 1800 to 1990.
相比之下，灭绝的野生物种类也迅速上升
In contrast, the number of wildlife species no longer existing shoot up,
在同期增加到70种
adding up to 70 over the same period of time.
显然，野生动物的灭绝源于人口剧增
It is obvious that the extinction of wildlife resulted from the population explosion.
我们可以引用很多原因来解释此现象
We may cite a variety of reasons for this situation.
首先，生态平衡的破坏发挥了主导作用
First of all, the destruction of ecological balance plays a pushing role.
由于人口问题
Due to population problems,
污染和沙漠化日渐严重
pollution and desertification are becoming increasingly serious.
其次，很多物种由于捕食、盈利甚至娱乐而被猎杀
Furthermore, a great number of species were killed for food, for money and even for fun.
更糟糕的是，由于人口急剧增长
Even worse, with the rapid growth of human population,
人类居住地扩张迅速，导致野生动物无家可归
inhabitable areas were expanding so fast that few areas were left for wild animals.
总而言之，我们有必要采取有效措施保护野生动物
To sum up, it is imperative for us to take effective measures to protect wildlife.
首先，美国政府应向野生动物保护投入更多资金
Firstly, the U.S. government should pour more investment into wildlife protection
以便改善环境
in a bid to create a better environment.
其次，美国人口出生率必须得到控制
Secondly, the birth rate in the U.S. must be put under control
因为人口激增导致了严重的环境问题
as the dramatically expanding population gives rise to serious environmental problems.
