21 species have been delisted from the Endangered Species Act, and not for a good reason_我的网站

A |     据报道，当地时间周三，德国汽车制造商宝马公司表示，他们将投资17亿美元在美国生产电动汽车，这是一家大型汽车制造商关于提升在美国的电动汽车产量的最新消息。    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has delisted 21 species from the Endangered Species Act due to extinction, the agency announced Monday.The service had proposed the delisting of nearly two dozen species in September 2021 due to extinction. Included in the group of animals now declared extinct are the Little Mariana fruit bat, also known as a flying fox, in Guam; two species of fish, including the San Marcos gambusia in Texas and Scioto madtom in Ohio, and eight species of mussels. Ten species of birds, including the Bachman's warbler, a small yellow and black songbird, in Florida and South Carolina; the Bridled white-eye, a green, yellow and white tropical lowland forest bird from Guam, and eight honeycreeper species in Hawaii, have also been delisted.The decision to delist the species was made after rigorous reviews for each of the species, most of which were listed under the ESA in the 1970s and 1980s, when populations were already dwindling severely, according to the USFWS.The action signals a "wake-up call" on the importance of conservation, especially for threatened species, before the decline becomes irreversible, according to the USFWS."Federal protection came too late to reverse these species' decline, and it's a wake-up call on the importance of conserving imperiled species before it's too late," USFWS Director Martha Williams said in a statement. "As we commemorate 50 years of the Endangered Species Act this year, we are reminded of the Act's purpose to be a safety net that stops the journey toward extinction. The ultimate goal is to recover these species, so they no longer need the Act's protection."The stakes for threatened species are higher in the South, Southern Environmental Law Center's Wildlife Program Leader Ramona McGee in a statement."We host a globally significant variety of plants and animals that are under mounting pressure because of humanmade threats, including climate change and habitat loss," McGee said.Human activity has pushed more than 1 million species to the brink of extinction, a 2019 United Nations report found.The Hawaiian birds declared extinct are a "case in point" of the effects human activity has had on biodiversity, as their forest habitats were razed by development, Noah Greenwald, endangered species director for the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a statement. Several more bird species in Hawaii are also on the brink of extinction, Greenwald said, adding that climate change is exacerbating risks to threatened species."Few people realize the extent to which the crises of extinction and climate change are deeply intertwined," Greenwald said. "Both threaten to undo our very way of life, leaving our children with a considerably poorer planet. One silver lining to this sad situation is that protecting and restoring forests, grasslands and other natural habitats will help address both"The extinctions also underscore the severity and consequences of the biodiversity crisis, Danielle Kessler, U.S. director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare, said in a statement."The threat of extinction is becoming a reality for a growing number of imperiled species, and this serves as a grim and urgent reminder that robust support for our nation's bedrock wildlife protection laws remains critical," Kessler said.Despite the recent extinctions in the U.S., the ESA remains one of "the most effective and comprehensive conservation laws in the world," McGee said.The ESA is credited with saving 99% of listed species from extinction, according to the USFWS. More than 100 plant and animal species have been delisted based on recovery or reclassified from endangered to threatened due to improved status and growing populations.Hundreds more species listed in the ESA are stable or improving due to the collaborative actions of Native American tribes, federal agencies, state and local governments, conservation organizations and private citizens, according to the USFWS.。宝马集团董事长奥利弗·齐普策（Oliver Zipse）在接受采访的时候表示：“这是迄今为止我们所做的规模最大的单项投资。”南卡罗来纳州州长亨利·麦克马斯特（Henry McMaster）在一个仪式上说，宝马的资本投资是该州历史上规模最大的一次。宝马还表示，中国可再生能源集团远景的汽车能源供应公司（AESC）也将在南卡罗来纳州建立一个新的电池芯工厂，年产能达30GWh，该公司将为宝马供应电池芯。这家豪华汽车制造商计划在2030年时，在美国至少生产六款纯电动宝马车型。

B | 宝马公司表示，他们不会确定停止生产燃气动力汽车的日期，这引起了人们对美国新的电动车税收优惠要求的担忧，该要求旨在要求车企停止使用来自中国的电池部件和矿物。齐普策表示，没有一个地区可以完全独立，特别是在电池原材料方面，美国“应该制定一个现实的规定”。他警告说，8月通过的新的7,500美元电动车税收抵免法可能导致多家汽车制造商无法享受优惠政策。他说道：“如果你阻止了行业发展，这将是一场灾难。”宝马表示，其新的电池规格将把能量密度提高20%以上，提高充电速度，并将续航能力提高30%。宝马集团此前已经宣布，将在欧洲和中国增建四个电池芯工厂，以满足其需求。齐普策表示，计划中的第六家电池厂的位置将由市场需求决定。这些由宝马合作伙伴也建设的电池工厂的年产能将达到20GWh。宝马在南卡罗来纳州有30年历史的工厂已经生产了600多万辆汽车，该工厂雇用着超过1.1万名员工，年产量高达45万辆。南卡罗来纳州向斯巴达堡工厂提供了6500万美元的赠款，以协助支付与该项目有关的费用。
