在兩世紀前,阿爾卑斯羱羊瀕臨絕種。當時世上只剩一百隻左右的阿爾卑斯羱羊,居住在義大利北部的阿爾卑斯山,且山裡只有一小塊區域能看到牠們的蹤影,幸好隨著保育和復育計畫的進行,阿爾卑斯羱羊的族群已回到超過三萬隻左右,我們如今能在阿爾卑斯山各處看到牠們的蹤跡。
The Alpine ibex was almost extinct two centuries ago, with just one hundred of them living in a single area of the Italian Alps. Thanks to conservation efforts and resettlement programs, this species of wild goat with its magnificent horns now numbers more than 30,000 and can once again be found throughout the Alps.
