和其他在北美地区发现的鼠兔一样,伊利鼠兔生活在海拔在2800米至4100米之间的高海拔地带,生存环境主要包括草地和一些高山植物周围。
Like other high-dwelling creatures, the pika is sensitive to changes in its environment. A 1990s estimate put its population at about 2,000 individuals, and it's believed to be decreasing in number, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
同其他高地生物一样,鼠兔对于生存环境的改变十分敏感,上世纪90年代的一项调查估计它们的种群数量可能只有2000只左右,而且根据国际自然保护联盟的消息,这一数量仍在不断减少。
Grazing pressure from livestock and air pollution have likely contributed to the decline in the Ili pika, which IUCN lists as vulnerable to extinction. China considers the species endangered.
畜牧造成的生态压力、栖息地的减少和空气污染等都是可能造成鼠兔种群数量减少的原因,国际自然保护联盟已经把鼠兔归于易灭绝的动物名单中。中国也把鼠兔划为了濒危物种。
Even so, there are no concerted efforts under way to help the Ili pika. Li said he hopes to change that, and use the rediscovery of the animal to create conservation areas for the species.
尽管如此现在仍然缺乏能够保护伊利鼠兔的有效措施。李维东说他希望鼠兔的再次出现能够改变现状,通过建立相关的保护区等让这种动物生存下去。
