The plant world's leading biodiversity hotspots are, quite literally, dirt poor.

就是说，植物界生物多样性富饶区，其实非常贫瘠。

Do you know the paleontology section, fifth floor, stack 437?

知道五楼437号书架 古生物学区吗？

Kai and his colleagues knew they needed to act fast to stop precious habitats being bought up by farmers or developers.

凯和他同事们知道，他们需要迅速行动，以阻止宝贵生物群落区被农民或开发商买走。

The marine life came from deep waters but also from adjacent areas and so the diversity we find in fjords is elevated compared to other coastlines.

海洋生物来自深水区，但也来自近地区，因此与其他海岸线相比，我们在峡湾中发现多样性更高。

The area around Mahmudia, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the third-most biodiverse in the world, after Australia's Great Barrier Reef and the Galapagos Islands.

Mahmudia周围地区是联合国教科文组织世界遗产，是世界第三生物多样性区，仅次于澳利堡礁和加拉帕戈斯群岛。

So Kai and his group of environmentalists had got a name, the Greenbelt, and the determination to protect the area known as a biotope.

于是凯和他环保团队给这片区域起了个名字，叫“绿色腰带” ， 并决心保护这个被称为生物群落区地方。

Now when we get to our findings I thought we could divide them up into the different zones we identified on the shore and the problems organisms face in each zone.

在写发现部分内容时，我觉得我们可以根据在海岸上识别出不同地区，把这些发现成果加以划分，然后再写出每个区生物面临问题。

High enough to lift them out of the tropical environment that the lands would otherwise be in down at lower elevations and into a more temperate biome with cooler temperatures and less humidity.

这里海拔高度足以让它们脱离热带环境，否则这些土地就会处于较低海拔地区，变成温度较低、湿度较小温带生物群落区。
