The swaying hips and undulating arm movements of a hula dancer imitate the waves that wash over Hawaii’s shores. Hula went underground for about 60 years in the early 19th century after Christian missionaries persuaded rulers to ban the provocative dance. It is enjoying a resurgence today.

2007-08-13Peru, 1981 Photograph by Steve Raymer Three vicuñas graze in tall grass in Peru’s Pampa Galeras Reserve. Prized for their soft, fine wool, vicuñas had been hunted to near-extinction by the late 1960s. Government protections in Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile, and international trade restrictions on vicuña wool have helped the species rebound. Despite a continued threat from poachers, they are now considered at low risk for extinction. (Photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Wild Cargo: the Business of Smuggling Animals," March 1981, National Geographic magazine) 三只小羊驼(vicuñas)正在秘鲁的潘帕伽勒拉斯保护区的草丛里觅食。小羊驼的皮毛柔软顺滑，非常珍贵。到上世纪六十年代末期，几乎被捕猎殆尽。转载翻译部分请注明天涯东方猪。秘鲁,玻利维亚,阿根廷和智利等国政府对其采取了保护行动，国际贸易上对小羊驼毛交易也进行了限制，以助于该物种的回升。尽管小羊驼持续受到偷猎者的威胁，但目前认为其灭绝的风险已经较低。 <img src="attachments/dvbbs/2007-8/20078252317991685.jpg" border="0" onclick="zoom(this)" onload="if(this.width>document.body.clientWidth*0.5) {this.resized=true;this.width=document.body.clientWidth*0.5;this.style.cursor='pointer';} else {this.onclick=null}" alt="" />
