19、新旳北極熊保護措施不會變化美國旳氣候政策。美國把北極熊劃為海洋哺乳動物，這就意味著對北極熊旳威脅不會制止在這些動物棲息地內旳石油勘探。本地人對北極熊旳捕獵，用北極熊制造手工藝品旳貿易，都會繼續進行。然而，從加拿大進口北極熊旳產品，將會被嚴禁。C Scott Bergen是紐約野生動物保護協會旳一位生態學家，也是美國出版旳國家地理調查旳作者之一。該調查發現世界三分之二旳北極熊到2050年會滅絕。她和其她WCS員工幾乎對這一決定感到十分肯定。“盡管這不直接影響到二氧化碳旳排放量，我們覺得這是一種對旳方向旳擬定旳決定，我們不久樂看到Fish and Wildlife Service支持對于該物種旳最

Describing and collecting archeological monuments, however, started much earlier: relics of religious significance were kept in church vestries, whereas various antique valuables were gathered in tsars?treasuries. Initially authorities regarded archeological finds merely a

Yet some of our ancestors, apparently, recognized the possibility of historical interest in the finds: thus, for instance, a description of old metal objects found during the diggings at Iset River under the reign of Tsar Alexei

23、 Mikhailovich, has been preserved. Governmental support of archeological studies in Russia dates back to the epoch of Peter the Great, whose order of February 13, 1718 assigned remuneration for various things?that can be found nder the ground or in water? Peter the Great ordered Messershmidt to coll

Peter the Great Kunstkammer founded in 1714 was filled with numerous archeological rarities, especially those from Siberia and the East. Later the antiquities were delivered partly to t

25、he Academy of Sciences, and partly to the Moscow collections of the Armoury Chamber, Stable Yard and Workshop Chamber, and so on. Under the reign of Anna Ioannovna V.N. Tatishchev wrote an instruction for gathering geographical, ethnographical and archeological data; the paper was approved by the Ac

The year 1761 saw the expedition of the artist Grekov for copying icon and fresco images in churches and monasteries. I

27、n the epoch of Catherine the Great researches drew up descriptions of Siberian and Bulgarian antiquities, as well as Permian and Yekaterinoslav barrows. In the late 18th century one of the most active figures of Russian archeology was Count A.I. Musin-Pushkin, the author of one of the first attempts

28、 of expounding the antiquities. The activities of Russian archeologists set its right course from the early 19th century, especially after the establishment of the Russian History and Antiquities Society, which published a range of news and articles on archeology in its issues. One of the patrons of

29、 archeology in those years was Count N.P. Rumyantsev. In 1806 rules for maintaining the Workshop and Armoury Chambers and keeping in order and safety the relics kept therein; next year the first description of the Armoury Chamber was issued. In 1822 regulations on preserving the monuments of archeol

The year 1820 saw the publication of roject of Research Journey around Russia for Explaining Slavic History?by Zorian Dolugi-Hodakovsky, who raised the issue of ancient settlement sites and developed a peculiar theory giving a key to them. The controversy concerning the

31、 ancient sites brought about a range of precious studies. Emperor Nicholas I issued numerous regulations for preserving ancient castles, fortresses, and houses. His reign is marked with significant achievements in archeology, such as the activities of Adelung, who described Korsun Gates in Kiev, of

The foremost finding of the Committee was the discovery of rich royal tombs on Taman Peninsula in 1879. The Committee became famous w
