英语听力遥:希拉里2012年野生动物保护日致辞Video Message on Wildlife Conservation Day 2012 US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton 04 December 2012 2012年野生动物保护日遥致辞 美国国务卿 希拉里 克林顿 2012年12月4日December 4th, 2012, will be the first-ever Wildlife Conservation Day. Our goal is to inform more people about this global conservation crisis. Attacks on rhinos and elephants are multiplying at an alarming rate. Species around the globe such as tigers in Asia are endangered. By some estimates, the black market for wildlife trafficking is rivaled in size only by the illegal arms and drug trade. The slaughter of endangered species robs communities of income from tourism, reduces biodiversity, encourages corruption, undermines good governance.
That's why we are training officials and educating prosecutors about wildlife crimes and helping countries strengthen their enforcement laws. But we can’t do this without you. Please, join us. Become part of the solution. You have the choice to refuse to purchase products made from endangered wildlife. Together we can save these animals before it is too late. Stand up and speak out, and stop this trade. Visit the website www. wildlifepledge. org. Take the pledge to respect and protect the world’s wildlife.
