脆弱的俄罗斯野生生物 Fragile Russian Wilderness
Fragile Russian Wilderness
脆弱的俄罗斯荒野
俄罗斯的克罗诺基保护区是地球上剩下的最好的一块未被破坏,与世隔绝的乐土。
Russia’s Kronotsky reserve is best left untouched, in splendid isolation.
大风车带你看真实的世界

1:在俄罗斯遥远的东方,大地涌动着创造克罗诺基半岛的原始的力量,那里耸立着11552英尺高的克罗诺基火山,周围是群山、苔原、沼泽和森林。
2:当夏季的生气勃勃凋谢时,夕阳的光辉悄悄铺满了Uzon火山口的苔原,池塘里泛起涟漪。旅游者可以通过几条精心设计的小道访问这个盆地和附近的间歇泉谷,这时是唯一向公众开放的2.8百万英亩保护区。
3:当一个约4万年前塌陷的火山锥复苏时,这座Uzon火山口的一些地方持续喷出蒸汽,那里岩浆报导地下水烤得咝咝的响。不到8英里宽的这个岩石坩锅里至少有500个从温泉到泥壶的地温点。
4:在Uzon火山口里,一只水鸟和一头棕熊在温泉的泥地里留下了脚爬印。作为全世界棕熊家族中最大的,棕熊可以长到1200多磅。超过700只棕熊在保护区里健壮地生长着。
5:为在保护区的冬季到来前抓紧长膘,棕熊在一片九月的寒意摧红的蓝莓里搜寻着果实。

我们这个星球上的一些地方是这么地令人惊叹,同时又是这么的脆弱,也许我们不应该打扰那里。
也许我们应该让它们独善其身,只从远处来赞赏它们。派出一个善于观察、脚步轻盈的有代表性的观察员,象从月球回来的尼尔.阿姆斯特朗一样为我们做汇报——让我们其余的人呆在家里。这些似是而非的论点适用于克罗诺基自然保护区,一个位于沿日本北部一千英里的太平洋海岸线上的堪察加半岛东侧的遥远的保护区。这里有着宏伟的地貌,生气勃勃、富丽堂皇,喧嚣热闹、精美雅致,280万英亩的区域包含了火山山脉、森林、苔原、河床以及超过700只的棕熊、茂密的偃松(可为熊提供可食用的坚果)和更新世冰河后期遗留下来的优美的冷杉(库页冷杉),沿岸是一个主要的白令海狮栖息地,库页湖中生长着红大麻哈鱼群体,陪伴着河里的洄游大麻哈鱼和虹鳟,还有鹰、矛隼、狼獾和其它物种——总之,把它作为一个纯粹的栖息地带再好不过了。由于有如此多的物产,如此多的频危物种,如此多的可被迅速破坏但(因为高海拔、缓慢的植被生长期、复杂的地温分布、生态系统的特殊性、地形的微妙)不能迅速补救的生态系统,那么克罗诺基真的需要人的介入吗,就算是作为游客的人?我提出了这个问题,深刻地体会到了这听起来可能很伪善,或至少是矛盾的,考虑到最近我已经在克罗诺基脆弱的外壳上留下了足迹。
Some places on this planet are so wondrous, and so frangible, that maybe we just shouldn't go there.
Maybe we should leave them alone and appreciate them from afar. Send a delegated observer who will absorb much, walk lightly, and report back as Neil Armstrong did from the moon—and let the rest of us stay home. That paradox applies to Kronotsky Zapovednik, a remote nature reserve on the east side of Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, along the Pacific coast a thousand miles north of Japan. It's a splendorous landscape, dynamic and rich, tumultuous and delicate, encompassing 2.8 million acres of volcanic mountains and forest and tundra and river bottoms as well as more than 700 brown bears, thickets of Siberian dwarf pine (with edible nuts for the bears) and relict "graceful" fir (Abies sacha linensis) left in the wake of Pleistocene glaciers, a major rookery of Steller sea lions on the coast, a population of kokanee salmon in Kronotskoye Lake, along with sea-run salmon and steelhead in the rivers, eagles and gyrfalcons and wolverines and many other species—terrain altogether too good to be a mere destination. With so much to offer, so much at stake, so much that can be quickly damaged but (because of the high latitudes, the slow growth of plants, the intri cacies of its geothermal underpinnings, the specialness of its ecosystems, the delicacy of its topographic repose) not quickly repaired, does Kronotsky need people, even as visitors? I raise this question, acutely aware that it may sound hypocritical, or anyway inconsistent, given that I've recently left my own boot prints in Kronotsky's yielding crust.
