Future Prospects for the Olympic NP

The current conservation status of rainforest on Olympic Peninsula in Washington is very good. As the federal government has reserved parts of this park as a wilderness area, deforestation and hunting have been significantly reduced and human disturbance has been minimized as the previous post describes.

However, within these years, the temperate rainforest has encountered new challenges. If these problems persist, the rainforest people have enjoyed in the past may not be around for future generations. Under the threat of hunters, deforestation, water pollution, air pollution, and climate change the future for the Olympic National Park looks bleak if nothing is done to curb the increase in threats. Even though the government has developed numerous measures to protect the rainforest, global environmental problems remain prevalent.
我认为目前奥林匹克国家公园中得雨林的保护状态还是OK的,毕竟在政府的法力条例的管理下,若干年前的砍伐打猎行为已经得到了有效控制,使人们对于国家内的生态环境伤害尽量降到最低。但是近年来,随着游客增加所导致的问题若得不到有效地控制及解决,若干年后,今天所展现在人们眼前的雨林很有可能危在旦夕。因为现在汽车尾气排放所导致的全球变暖就对雨林有着间接影响,可能人们认为在奥林匹克国家公园中所做得管理措施已经足够充足,可是若不解决全球性的环境问题,同样存在着使雨林消失的可能性。
