Studies by the Council o
35、f Europe, of which 21 countries are members, have shown that 45 per cent of reptile(爬行的)species and 24 per cent of butterflies are in danger of dying out. European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr. Peter Baum, an expert in the environment and nature resources division of the council, When he
36、spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators of a British national park. The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council s diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality, and Dr. Baum had come to present it to the park once again. He was afraid that public opinion was turn
37、ing against national parks, and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today. But Dr. Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right. No area could be expected to survive both as a true
38、nature reserve and as a tourist attraction, he went on. The shortsighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands fur out door recreation should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future. “We forget that they are the guarantee of li

46、 identification sometimes seems lost. In fact, fingerprint evidence is highly reliable and particularly accessible to juries: You dont need a Ph.D. or a scientific lecture on genetics to understand that your own fingers contain a contour map of ridges and whorls that is completely unique. Matching F
47、ingerprints Fingerprint evidence rests on two basic principles: A persons “friction ridge patterns“ (the swirled skin on their fingertips) dont change. No two people have the same pattern of friction ridges. Police officers can use fingerprints to identify defendants and crime victims if a print matches one already on file. (Today, the FBI has a collection of prints that numbers in the millions.) Peoples fingerprints can be on file for a variety of reasons. For example, people may be fingerprinted when they are arrested, or when they begin certain occupati
