摘要
喜马托雅山脉可能永远不会是原来的样子了。长在这个世界屋脊上的森林正在消失，而且砍伐森林的速度极快．以至到本世纪末， 很可能将有四分之一在这物种繁多的地区土生土长的动植物种类，包括虎和豹，会永远消失．
The Himalayas may never be the same again. The forests growing on the roof of the world are disappearing, and the rate of deforestation is so rapid that a quarter of animal and plant species native to this biodiversity hotspot, including tigers and leopards, could be gone by the end of the century.
