日益减少的帝王蝶！加州在这里种三万颗草保护它们！
（KCRA）30,000 milkweeds planted in California to help monarch butterflies
在加州种植了三万种乳草来帮助帝王蝶
The River Partners group has joined with others and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife on the plantings along the Sacramento, Feather and Kern rivers
The River Partners group河流伙伴组织与其他组织以及加州鱼类和野生动物部门一起，在 Sacramento, Feather和Kern rivers沿岸种植植物
A conservation group is planting more than 30,000 milkweed plants in California in the hope of giving Western monarch butterflies new places to breed.
一个保护组织正在加州种植3万多株乳草，希望为西方帝王蝶提供新的繁殖场所。
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday that the River Partners group has joined with others and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife on the plantings along the Sacramento, Feather and Kern rivers.
《旧金山纪事报》(San Francisco Chronicle)周一报道称，河流伙伴组织已与其他组织以及加州鱼类和野生动物部(California Department of Fish and Wildlife)联手，在萨克拉门托(Sacramento)、羽毛(Feather)和科恩(Kern)河沿岸种植植物。
The plants are seen as critical because the orange-and-black butterflies lay their eggs on them. Their caterpillars also eat them.
这种植物被认为是至关重要的，因为橙色和黑色的蝴蝶会在它们上面产卵。它们的毛虫也吃它们。
The butterflies head south from the Pacific Northwest to California each winter. Earlier this year, researchers said an annual winter count recorded fewer than 2,000 of the butterflies - a massive decline.
每年冬天，蝴蝶都会从西北太平洋向南飞到加利福尼亚。今年早些时候，研究人员表示，每年冬天记录到的蝴蝶数量不到2000只，这是一个巨大的下降。
"There couldn't be a more critical time to be doing this," said restoration biologist Francis Ulep of River Partners.
River Partners的修复生物学家弗朗西斯·尤利普(Francis Ulep)说:“现在是做这件事的最关键时刻。”
Scientists have said the butterflies are at critically low levels in western states because of destruction to their milkweed habitat along their migratory route as housing expands and use of pesticides and herbicides increases.
科学家表示，西部各州的蝴蝶数量极低，原因是随着住房的扩建，以及杀虫剂和除草剂的使用增加，它们迁徙路线沿线的马利筋栖息地遭到破坏。
