Task Overview
Reading Passage
Conservation-Reliant Species Certain animal species are able to live only in a very particular kind of habitat. If that habitat is changed in some way, it may become difficult for that species to survive. If humans take action to conserve, or protect, that species, the species may become conservation-reliant; that is, it may become dependent on humans' conservation efforts for its survival. These efforts often focus on recreating and maintaining the conditions in the species' original habitat, conditions that no longer occur naturally. Such conservation efforts can help a species survive. If, however, these efforts are discontinued, the species may soon become extinct.

5.语言使用Original: Conservation-reliant species refers to animals whose survival relies on the conservation of people to their habitats. Stop of these conservation can lead to extinction of these animals. The professor give an example of bird species struggling for survival in the forest of Hawaii. Due to the introducing of domestic pigs and goats and their escaping to the forest, the vegetation environment of these birds living in has been destroyed greatly. In that case, people started their preservation of these birds by setting specific areas that keep the pigs and goats outside. This is very effective in some area but also very expensive due to the high cost of establishing equipments and repairments. However, if these efforts were stopped, then these kind of birds are likely to extinct.

Revised (140 words): Conservation-dependent species refers to animals whose survival relies on human conservation efforts to their habitats. Discontinuation of these efforts can lead to the extinction of these animals. The professor gives an example of bird species struggling for survival in the forests in Hawaii. Due to the introduction of domestic pigs and goats and their escape into the forest, the vegetation environment that these birds live in has been severely damaged. To address this issue, people started conserving these birds by establishing specific areas that keep the pigs and goats out. This approach has been very effective in some areas but also very expensive due to the high cost of setting up equipment and repairs. However, if these efforts were discontinued, these kinds of birds would likely become extinct.
