拯救我们的未来

I was concerned about the fact that forest and chimpanzees were disappearing across Africa. So I visited the six chimpanzee sites, learned a lot about their problems, but I also learned about the problems facing many African people living in and around chimpanzee forest habitat.

我对非洲各地的森林和黑猩猩正在消失的事实感到担忧。因此，我走访了六个黑猩猩栖息地，了解到许多关于它们的问题，同时也了解到许多生活在黑猩猩森林栖息地及其周围的非洲人所面临的问题。

It hit me then, "If we don't find ways for these people to make a living without destroying the environment, we can't save chimpanzees, forests, or anything else, including their future."

然后我突然意识到：“如果我们不设法让这些人在不破坏环境的情况下谋生，我们就无法拯救黑猩猩、森林或其他任何东西，包括他们的未来。”

That's where we started, more land to grow food, which meant restoring fertility to the overused farmland without chemicals, and better health and education.

这就是我们的出发点，开发更多的土地用来种植粮食，这意味着在不使用化学品的情况下恢复过度使用的农田的肥力，以及更好的健康和教育。

Then we added water management programs, we added microfinance opportunities for women so they could start their own small, environmentally sustainable businesses, and scholarships to give girls a chance of secondary education.

然后，我们增加了水资源管理计划，为妇女提供小额信贷机会，让她们能够创办自己的小型、环境可持续发展的企业，并提供奖学金，让女孩有接受中等教育的机会。

Back then, practically no girls had that opportunity. Gradually since then, we've enlarged the program, but in essence, that's what it is.

当时，几乎没有女孩有这样的机会。此后，我们逐渐扩大了计划，但本质上，这就是我们的计划。

Remember, every single day that you live, you make some impact on the planet. Please choose wisely, ethically, for the sake of the future, and your children, and theirs.

请记住，你生活的每一天都在对地球产生影响。为了未来，为了你的孩子，也为了他们的孩子，请做出明智、合乎道德的选择。
