3、re getting used to a new kind of immigrant. In 1998, a pack of wolves crossed the Neisse River on the Polish-German border. In the empty landscape of eastern Saxony, dotted with abandoned mines and declining villages, the wolves found plenty of deer and few humans. Five years later, a second pack sp

4、lit from the original, so therere now two families of wolves in the region. A hundred years ago, a growing land-hungry population killed off the last of Germanys wolves. Today, its the local humans whose numbers are under threat.Villages are empty, thanks to the regions low birth rate and rural flig

5、ht. Home to 22 of the worlds 25 lowest fertility rate countries, Europe will lose 30 million people by 2030, even with continued immigration. The biggest population decline will hit rural Europe. As Italians, Spaniards, Germans and others produce barely three-fifths of children needed to maintain st

6、atus quo, and as rural flight sucks people into Europes suburbs and cities, the countryside will lose a quarter of its population. The implications of this demographic (人口的) change will be far-reaching.Environmental ChangesThe postcard view of Europe is of a continent where every scrap of land has l

7、ong been farmed, fenced off and settled. But the continent of the future may look rather different. Big parts of Europe will renaturalize. Bears are back in Austria. In Swiss Alpine valleys, farms have been receding and forests are growing back. In parts of France and Germany, wildcats and wolves ha

8、ve re-established their ranges.The shrub and forest that grows on abandoned land might be good for deer and wolves, but is vastly less species-rich than traditional farming, with its pastures, ponds and hedges. Once shrub covers everything, you lose the meadow habitat. All the flowers, herbs, birds,

9、 and butterflies disappear. A new forest doesnt get diverse until a couple of hundred years old.All this is not necessarily an environmentalists dream it might seem. Take the Greek village of Prastos. An ancient hill town, Prastos once had 1,000 residents, most of them working the land. Now only a d

10、ozen left, most in their 60s and 70s. The school has been closed since 1988. Sunday church bells no longer ting. Without farmers to tend the fields, rain has washed away the once fertile soil. As in much of Greece, land that has been orchards and pasture for some 2,000 years is now covered with dry

11、shrub that, in summer, frequently catches fire.Varied Pictures of Rural DepopulationRural depopulation is not new. Thousands of villages like Prastos dot Europe, the result of a century or more of emigration, industrialization, and agricultural mechanization. But this time its different because neve

12、r has the rural birth rate so low. In the past, a farmer could usually find at least one of his offspring to take over the land. Today, the chances are that he has only a single son or daughter, usually working in the city and rarely willing to return. In Italy, more than 40% of the countrys 1.9 mil

13、lion farmers are at least 65 years old. Once they die out, many of their farms will join the 6 million hectares one third of Italys farmland that has already been abandoned.Rising economic pressures, especially from reduced government subsidies, will amplify the trend. One third of Europes farmland

14、is marginal, from the cold northern plains to the dry Mediterranean (地中海) hills. Most of these farmers rely on EU subsides, since its cheaper to import food from abroad. Without subsidies, some of the most scenic European landscapes wouldnt survive. In the Austrian or Swiss Alps, defined for centuri

15、es by orchards, cows, high mountain pastures, the steep valleys are labor-intensive to farm, with subsidies paying up to 90% of the cost. Across the border in France and Italy, subsidies have been reduced for mountain farming. Since then, across the southern Alps, villages have emptied and forests h

16、ave grown back in. Outside the range of subsidies, in Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine, big tracts of land are returning to wild.Big ChallengesThe truth is varied and interesting. While many rural regions of Europe are emptying out, others will experience something of a renaissance. Already, attractive

17、 areas within driving distance of prosperous cities are seeing robust revivals, driven by urban flight and an in-flooding of childless retirees. Contrast that with less-favored areas, from the Spanish interior to eastern Europe. These face dying villages, abandoned farms and changes in the land not

18、seen for generations. Both types of regions will have to cope with steeply ageing population and its accompanying health and service needs. Rural Europe is the laboratory of demographic changes.For governments, the challenge has been to develop policies that slow the demographic decline or attract n

19、ew residents. In some places such as Britain and France, large parts of countryside are reviving as increasingly wealthy urban middle class in search of second homes recolonises villages and farms. Villages in central Italy are counting on tourism to revive their town, turning farmhouses into hostel

20、s for tourists and hikers.But once baby boomers start dying out around 2020, populations will start to decline so sharply that there simply wont be enough people to reinvent itself. Its simply unclear how long current government policies can put off the inevitable.“We are now talking about civilized

21、 depopulation. We just have to make sure that old people we leave behind are taken care of.“ Says Mats Johansson of Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. The biggest challenge is finding creative ways to keep up services for the rising proportion of seniors. When the Austrian village of Klans,

22、 thinly spread over the Alpine foothills, decided it could no longer afford a regular public bus service, the community set up a public taxi-on-demand service for the aged. In thinly populated Lapland where doctors are few and far between, tech-savvy Finns the rising demand for specialized health ca

23、re with a service that uses videoconferencing and the Internet for remote medical examination.Another pioneer is the village of Aguaviva, one of rapidly depopulating areas in Spain. In 2000, Mayor Manznanares began offering free air-fares and housing for foreign families to settle in Aguaviva. Now t

24、he mud-brown town of about 600 has 130 Argentine and Romanian immigrants, and the towns only school has 54 pupils. Immigration was one solution to the problem. But most foreign immigrants continue to prefer cities. And within Europe migration only exports the problem. Western European look towards e

25、astern Europe as a source for migrants, yet those countries have ultra-low birth rates of their own.Now the increasingly worried European governments are developing policies to make people have more children, from better childcare to monthly stipends (津贴) linked to family size. But while these measu

26、res might raise the birth rate slightly, across the much of the ageing continent there are just too few potential parents around.(1,150 words)（分数：70.00）(1).The current rural depopulation in Europe is the result of long-term emigration and industrialization.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_(2).The demographic change
