In 1998, a pack of wolves crossed the Neisse River on the Polish-German border. In the empty landscape of east
3、ern Saxony, dotted with abandoned mines and declining villages, the wolves found plenty of deer and few humans. Five years later, a second pack split 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 G
4、ermanys wolves. Today, its the local humans whose numbers are under threat.Villages are empty, thanks to the regions low birth rate and rural flight. 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
5、population decline will hit rural Europe. As Italians, Spaniards, Germans and others produce barely three-fifths of children needed to maintain status quo, and as rural flight sucks people into Europes suburbs and cities, the countryside will lose a quarter of its population. The implications of thi
6、s demographic (人口的) change will be far-reaching.BEnvironmental Changes/BThe postcard view of Europe is of a continent where every scrap of land has long been farmed, fenced off and settled. But the continent of the future may look rather different. Big parts of Europe will renaturalize. Bears are ba
7、ck in Austria. In Swiss Alpine valleys, farms have been receding and forests are growing back. In parts of France and Germany, wildcats and wolves have 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 tha
8、n traditional farming, with its pastures, ponds and hedges. Once shrub covers everything, you lose the meadow habitat. All the flowers, herbs, birds, and butterflies disappear. A new forest doesnt get diverse until a couple of hundred years old.All this is not necessarily an environmentalists dream
9、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 dozen 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, ra
10、in 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 shrub that, in summer, frequently catches fire.BVaried Pictures of Rural Depopulation/BRural depopulation is not new. Thousands of villages like Prasto
11、s dot Europe, the result of a century or more of emigration, industrialization, and agricultural mechanization. But this time its different because never 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
12、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 million 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 ha
13、s already been abandoned.Rising economic pressures, especially from reduced government subsidies, will amplify the trend. One third of Europes farmland 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 imp
14、ort food from abroad. Without subsidies, some of the most scenic European landscapes wouldnt survive. In the Austrian or Swiss Alps, defined for centuries 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
15、 border in France and Italy, subsidies have been reduced for mountain farming. Since then, across the southern Alps, villages have emptied and forests have grown back in. Outside the range of subsidies, in Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine, big tracts of land are returning to wild.BBig Challenges/BThe t
16、ruth is varied and interesting. While many rural regions of Europe are emptying out, others will experience something of a renaissance. Already, attractive areas within driving distance of prosperous cities are seeing robust revivals, driven by urban flight and an in-flooding of childless retirees.
17、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 seen for generations. Both types of regions will have to cope with steeply ageing population and its accompanying health and service needs. Rural
18、 Europe is the laboratory of demographic changes.For governments, the challenge has been to develop policies that slow the demographic decline or attract new residents. In some places such as Britain and France, large parts of countryside are reviving as increasingly wealthy urban middle class in se
19、arch of second homes recolonises villages and farms. Villages in central Italy are counting on tourism to revive their town, turning farmhouses into hostels for tourists and hikers.But once baby boomers start dying out around 2020, populations will start to decline so sharply that there simply wont
20、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 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
21、 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, 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-d
22、emand service for the aged. In thinly populated Lapland where doctors are few and far between, tech-savvy Finns the rising demand for specialized health care with a service that uses videoconferencing and the Internet for remote medical examination.Another pioneer is the village of Aguaviva, one of
23、rapidly depopulating areas in Spain. In 2000, Mayor Manznanares began offering free air-fares and housing for foreign families to settle in Aguaviva. Now the mud-brown town of about 600 has 130 Argentine and Romanian immigrants, and the towns only school has 54 pupils. Immigration was one solution t
24、o the problem. But most foreign immigrants continue to prefer cities. And within Europe migration only exports the problem. Western European look towards eastern Europe as a source for migrants, yet those countries have ultra-low birth rates of their own.Now the increasingly worried European governm
