SFO附近的土地是濒危蛇类最集中的地方:报告
San Francisco garter snake
An undeveloped parcel of land owned by San Francisco International Airport is home to a thriving population of an endangered snake species, a recent study revealed, airport officials said Wednesday.
旧金山国际机场官员周三表示，最近的一项研究显示，旧金山国际机场的一块未开发土地上栖息着一种濒危蛇类。
The study, commissioned by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, revealed that the 180-acre parcel of wetlands and uplands sustains some 1,300 San Francisco garter snakes -- the largest concentration discovered to date.
这项由美国地质调查局和美国鱼类及野生动物管理局委托进行的研究显示，这片180英亩的湿地和高地上生活着大约1300条旧金山袜带蛇，这是迄今为止发现的最大的蛇群。
The land, which is known as West-of-Bayshore and is off-limits to the public, is also home to the California red-legged frog. Both the California red-legged frog and the California garter snake are considered federally protected species.
这片土地被称为海湾西岸，禁止公众进入，也是加州红腿蛙的家园。加州红腿蛙和加州袜带蛇都被认为是受联邦保护的物种。
"These results validate the environmental stewardship programs we have in place, to ensure endangered species can survive and thrive at SFO," SFO wildlife biologist Natalie Reeder said.
旧金山市野生生物学家Natalie Reeder说:“这些结果验证了我们已经实施的环境管理项目，以确保濒危物种能够在旧金山市生存和繁荣。”
According to airport officials, SFO's own efforts have helped enhance the habitat, including an annual visit by goats for fire prevention.
据机场官员称，SFO自己的努力帮助改善了栖息地，包括每年都让山羊去防火。
Back in 2008, SFO first began its Recovery Action Plan, which aimed to stabilize or increase the snake and frog population. In 2014, SFO was recognized for its recovery efforts with an Environmental Achievement Award by Airports Council International North America.
早在2008年，SFO就开始了其“恢复行动计划”，旨在稳定或增加蛇和青蛙的数量。2014年，SFO的恢复工作获得了国际机场协会北美地区环境成就奖。
