Only 887 hippos are left in Congo, once home to the world's largest population of the water-loving mammal, and they will be extinct in the African country, an international environmental group warned Monday. 　　Hippos are being killed by government soldiers, local militia and poachers, the World Wildlife Fund said. The meat is sold as food while teeth end up as part of the illegal ivory trade. 　　The latest aerial survey puts the hippopotamus population in northeastern Congo's Virunga National Park down to under 1,000 animals, compared to some 29,000 in 1974. The last survey in 2003 counted 1,307. Conducted last month, the hippopotamus survey was carried out by the Congolese Institute for Conservation of Nature, the European Union and WWF.
地處非洲的剛果曾經(jīng)擁有世界上數(shù)量最多的喜水哺乳動(dòng)物——河馬，但目前在該地區(qū)僅剩下了887只河馬。世界野生動(dòng)物基金會(huì)周一發(fā)出警告說，在剛果地區(qū)，河馬的處境危險(xiǎn)，瀕臨滅絕。 　　該基金會(huì)指出，河馬數(shù)量大量減少主要是因?yàn)槭勘?、?dāng)?shù)孛癖屯但C者的捕殺。河馬肉被作為食品出售，河馬牙則被拔下來用作非法象牙貿(mào)易。 　　最近的一次飛機(jī)調(diào)查顯示，在位于剛果東北部的維龍加國(guó)家公園里，河馬的數(shù)量已從1974年的大約29,000只下降到目前的不到1,000只。而2003年的一次調(diào)查結(jié)果則顯示河馬的數(shù)量為1,307只。上個(gè)月進(jìn)行的這次飛機(jī)調(diào)查是由剛果自然保護(hù)協(xié)會(huì)、歐盟和世界野生動(dòng)物基金會(huì)共同實(shí)施進(jìn)行的。
