21、ecies list. Much of mankind suffers from “plant blindness”. Defined by botanists Elisabeth Schussler and James Wandersee, plant blindness is the inability to see or notice the plants in ones own environment, which leads to the inability to recognize the importance of plants in the biosphere (生物圈) an
22、d in human affairs.Now a paper published by Oxford University Press might have found a cure for that. Having noticed that nature shows increased viewers interest in the animals on the shows, the researchers set out to discover if nature documentaries could do the same for plants. For the paper, they
23、 focused on The Green Planet, the 2022 BBC plant-focused documentary narrated (解说) by Sir David Attenborough. To figure out if the documentary engaged viewers enough to want to learn more, the researchers looked at peoples online behavior around the time of the broadcast. They noted which species ap

The researchers found some 28. 1% of search terms representing plants mentioned in the BBC documentary had peak popularity in the UK,
25、 measured using Google Trends, the week after the broadcast of the relevant episode. Wikipedia data showed this as well. Almost a third (31%) of the Wikipedia pages related to plants mentioned in The Green Planet showed increased visits the week after the broadcast. The investigators also note that

29、Great Chance to Stop Wildlife ExtinctionDMost Common Phenomenon: Plant BlindnessScientist Erika Nesvold once asked a company aiming to mine the moon how he planned to address risks that mining equipment might carry microbes (微生物) from Earth and pollute the moon. The response: “Well worry about that
30、later.”Thats an irresponsible mindset when it comes to preparing for people to live and work in space, Nesvold argues in her new book, Off-Earth. “. adopting a worry about it later attitude.strikes me as a path to repeating the tragedies of that history through ignorance.” Nesvold writes. Off-Earth
31、is an extension of her 2017 podcast (播客), Making New Worlds, which asked ethical (伦理的) questions about space settlement. The book takes some of the same questions and expands on them. Most chapters start with three short scenes, usually from different time periods. A chapter outlining debates over w
32、hether to settle space at all starts by asking the reader to imagine being in the 1600s and deciding to uproot your family and head to the New World. A chapter on how land usage and ownership rights might work in space imagines a person recently freed from slavery in the U. S. South in 1865 and worr
33、ying that the new president will take back the land they finally own. The third scene is usually set in the year 2100, on a space settlement. Then Nesvold examines how various ethical scenarios (场景) related to the chapters theme might play out in space. She quotes experts in fields that dont often c
34、ome up in space science: ethics, philosophy, law. This approach is a departure from many books about the future of life on the final frontier, forcing readers to face hard realities and possible points of friction. To have the best chance of avoiding disaster, the time to consider those questions is
35、 now, not later, even though space settlement may be decades or centuries away, Nesvold argues. Off-Earth should be required reading for anyone who dreams about living in space and can help make our earthbound civilizations better too.32What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?ATo clarify a
