Download or read book The Bear Report written by Thyra Heder and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sophie does not want to do her homework, a research report on polar bears. Bor-ing. They’re big. They eat things. They’re mean. What else is there to say about them anyway? As it turns out, plenty. And when a polar bear named Olafur swoops her away to the Arctic, she soon learns all about the playful bear’s habits and habitat—from glacier mice to the northern lights—and, despite her first reservations, she finds herself not just interested but excited about the Arctic. When the two are swept out to sea on an iceberg, Sophie’s new knowledge and knack for creative thinking pay off in a big way: she calls a whale to their aid! Inspired by her journey, she’s ready to return home and take another swing at her assignment, this time with gusto. The Bear Report showcases the power of curiosity and imagination to fill any blank canvas, whether it’s an incomplete homework assignment or the Arctic ice.

However, that excludes more than 30 species of wildcats documented across much of the world. Most regions lay claim to their own variety of wildcat, and for centuries, the island of Taiwan was fortunate enough to have two: the Formosan clouded leopard and the Taiwanese leopard cat. Sadly, due to a combination of overhunting and habitat loss, clouded leopards are thought to be extinct in Taiwan today. The leopard cat, on the other hand, is still clinging to survival, with estimates putting the total population at fewer than 500 individuals. Unlike clouded leopards, leopard cats can hide in plain sight. They’re the same size as a domestic cat and have similar tendencies—they primarily eat mice and rats, and though they can swim, they prefer to avoid water. Leopard cats sit firmly at the top of the food chain in the places they call home, mainly the low-altitude mountain regions of Miaoli, Taichung, and Nantou. Their presence in these areas keeps the local ecosystem in balance. Research begun little more than a decade ago has started to demonstrate just how essential they are—and why we need to save them. 人們想到世界上的野貓時，他們想的是大型貓科動物：獅子、老虎、花豹和美洲豹。然而，那並不包括三十多種世界各地多數地方有記載的野生貓科物種。大部分地區都宣稱擁有特有的野貓，而幾世紀以來，台灣這個島上有幸擁有兩種：台灣雲豹和台灣石虎。 令人難過的是，由於濫捕加上棲地消失，今天雲豹在台灣已被認為絕種了。另一方面，石虎仍然在竭力求生中，估計總數不到五百隻。和雲豹不同的是，石虎會躲在明顯的地方。牠們的體型和家貓一樣，也有相似的習性——牠們主要以鼠類為食，而牠們雖然會游泳，卻比較喜歡離水遠一點。 石虎在牠們的棲地中穩坐食物鏈頂端，棲地主要是在苗栗、台中和南投的低海拔山區。牠們出現在這些地區使當地的生態系統能維持平衡。十多年前展開的研究已開始顯示牠們是多麼不可或缺——以及為什麼我們需要拯救牠們。 3/6 As one of Taiwan’s few remaining larger carnivores, leopard cats are critical for keeping rat populations in check. Protecting them also preserves Taiwan’s biodiversity for future generations. However, some accuse the cats of getting in the way of progress. Farmers, in particular, have a grievance against the cats because they eat free-range chickens. To protect livestock, farmers often poison them. The biggest danger to leopard cats today isn’t hunters or farmers, though—it’s cars. From 2015 to 2018, one leopard cat a month was found dead on Taiwan’s roads, having been struck by a passing vehicle. To address this problem, the government has put into place a smart roadside detection system that can prevent accidents involving the cats. Tunnels have also been constructed under roads to allow animals to cross safely. So far, efforts appear to be working, as evidenced by the drop in leopard cat deaths. Even so, leopard cats still have a long way to go before they’re in the clear. Those who want to help can choose eco-friendly products that don’t pollute their habitat. Additionally, drive slowly on mountain roads and report any traps you see while walking in the woods. Together, we can make sure the leopard cat doesn’t go the way of the Formosan clouded leopard. 作為台灣少數僅存的大型肉食動物，石虎對於控制老鼠數量極為重要。保護石虎也為未來世代保存台灣的生物多樣性。然而，有些人指控石虎阻礙了發展。農夫尤其對石虎心生不滿，因為牠們會吃放養的雞隻。為了保護家畜，農夫常會毒死牠們。 不過今天石虎最大的威脅並不是獵人或農夫——而是車輛。從二○一五年到二○一八年，每個月都有一隻石虎在台灣道路上被行經的車輛撞死。為了處理這個問題，政府設置了智慧型道路偵測系統，能防止涉及石虎的意外。道路底下也興建地道讓動物可以安全穿越。到目前為止，從石虎死亡數量下滑就可證明努力似乎起了作用。 即使如此，石虎處境要安全無虞還有很長的路要走。想幫忙的人可以選擇對環境友善、不會汙染牠們棲地的產品。此外，行駛山間道路要減速慢行，而行走在樹林間看到捕獸夾要舉報。我們一起能確保石虎不會步上台灣雲豹的後塵。

Download or read book Ice Walker written by James Raffan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bestselling author James Raffan comes an enlightening and original story about a polar bear’s precarious existence in the changing Arctic, reminiscent of John Vaillant’s The Golden Spruce. Nanurjuk, “the bear-spirited one,” is hunting for seals on Hudson Bay, where ice never lasts more than one season. For her and her young, everything is in flux. From the top of the world, Hudson Bay looks like an enormous paw print on the torso of the continent, and through a vast network of lakes and rivers, this bay connects to oceans across the globe. Here, at the heart of everything, walks Nanurjuk, or Nanu, one polar bear among the six thousand that traverse the 1.23 million square kilometers of ice and snow covering the bay. For millennia, Nanu’s ancestors have roamed this great expanse, living, evolving, and surviving alongside human beings in one of the most challenging and unforgiving habitats on earth. But that world is changing. In the Arctic’s lands and waters, oil has been extracted—and spilled. As global temperatures have risen, the sea ice that Nanu and her young need to hunt seal and fish has melted, forcing them to wait on land where the delicate balance between them and their two-legged neighbors has now shifted. This is the icescape that author and geographer James Raffan invites us to inhabit in Ice Walker. In precise and provocative prose, he brings readers inside Nanu’s world as she treks uncertainly around the heart of Hudson Bay, searching for nourishment for the children that grow inside her. She stops at nothing to protect her cubs from the dangers she can see—other bears, wolves, whales, human beings—and those she cannot. By focusing his lens on this bear family, Raffan closes the gap between humans and bears, showing us how, like the water of the Hudson Bay, our existence—and our future—is tied to Nanu’s. He asks us to consider what might be done about this fragile world before it is gone for good. Masterful, vivid, and haunting, Ice Walker is an utterly unique piece of creative nonfiction and a deeply affecting call to action.

Book excerpt: A man and his wife are about to share a life-altering secret on national television . . . if they aren’t careful. Jake and Kate have done what few people have ever done. They’ve gotten a movie made about their professional photography and their marital life, and now they’re making the TV rounds hyping it. It’s all by-the-book, of course: show up, tell the interviewer and audience the story’s highlights, then go out for dinner afterwards until the next rinse-and-repeat episode begins. At least, that’s how it’s supposed to be. Problem is, as much as the biopic may electrify their photography business, embedded in their story is a secret that neither wants getting out, and to talk about one without addressing the other is near impossible. But Jake is going to try because he knows the interviewer will ask about Greenland. Interviewers always want to hear more about Greenland, and Jake the action junkie is running out of ways to sidestep the best part of that story. But what’s the secret? And why does Jake insist on keeping it? And what would happen if the secret gets out? In Lightstorm, experience Jake and Kate’s adventure through Greenland as they bet on their photography, confront wild animals, and compete toward the pivotal moment when their lives transform forever. But, as they retell their hottest story, you may find the secret they keep is just the tip of the iceberg.
