| 马克·卡沃丁曾远行到位于印度洋的毛里求斯，而如今，他就在那从事博物馆集物者的工作。 如今，我们知道野生动物所面临的最大威胁就是栖息地的毁灭，这个现代天堂的背后，却有一段悲剧的过往，又称毛里求斯渡渡鸟，孤鸽仅产于印度洋毛里求斯岛的一种不会飞的鸟。曾几何时，这里以渡渡鸟之乡闻名。后因生态环境破坏，渡渡鸟现已灭绝。 作为一名动物学家，我曾殷切希望与博物馆学家朱利安·休谟会面，他耗尽毕生精力在此收集自然物种，试图揭开这座岛屿的秘密。 朱利安，开车穿过这一望无际的甘蔗地，感觉真好。真难以想象，渡渡鸟灭绝之前，毛里求斯是一副什么模样。 自从渡渡鸟灭绝后，这里变得面目全非了，很不可思议曾经这里长满了乌木林、棕榈树，难以想象那副景象。而现在，这里唯一的作物就是甘蔗。说实话，这很可怕。 |
