Time\u2019s Persons of the Year for 2020<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aNeil Vigdor<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time magazine on Thursday named President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris as its persons of the year, citing the weight of the pandemic and racial injustice that will be shouldered by the history-making Democratic ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruce Springsteen, who narrated a television ad for Biden during the campaign, revealed the magazine\u2019s choice at the end of an hourlong television special on NBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biden, 78, the former vice president under President Barack Obama, and Harris, 56, a U.S. senator from California who became the first Black woman and the first Indian American elected to the vice presidency, will appear side by side in a portrait on the magazine\u2019s cover on Dec. 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They edged out frontline health care workers (along with the nation\u2019s leading infectious-disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci), the racial justice movement and President Donald Trump for the distinction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, on the \u201cToday\u201d show, Time announced the four finalists for the recognition. \u201cTime has always had a special connection to the presidency,\u201d Edward Felsenthal, the editor-in-chief and chief executive officer of Time, said Thursday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Felsenthal noted that it was the first time that the magazine had chosen to include the vice president as a person of the year. \u201cPerson of the year is not just about the year that was but about where we\u2019re headed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a time when weekly print magazines have struggled to remain relevant in the media landscape, the marketing hype over the purely ceremonial distinction has continued to create fanfare for Time. The tradition goes back to 1927, when Time named aviator Charles Lindbergh its first man of the year, as the honor was then called. (Last year, the magazine named the young climate activist Greta Thunberg its person of the year.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time has noted that its selection process is not a popularity contest, however. Its choice reflects \u201cthe person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or ill,\u201d the magazine said in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>racial injustice\u3000\u4eba\u7a2e\u7684\u4e0d\u516c\u5e73<br>shoulder\u3000(\u8cac\u4efb\u306a\u3069\u3092)\u8ca0\u3046\u3001(\u4ed5\u4e8b\u306a\u3069\u3092) \u5f15\u304d\u53d7\u3051\u308b<br>ticket (\u7c73)(\u653f\u515a\u306e)\u516c\u8a8d\u5019\u88dc\u8005\u4e00\u89a7\u3001\u653f\u7b56<br>edge out \uff5e\u306b\u50c5\u5dee(\u308f\u305a\u304b\u306e\u5dee)\u3067\u52dd\u3064\u3001\u8f9b\u52dd\u3059\u308b\u3000<br>editor-in-chief\u3000\u7de8\u96c6\u9577<br>chief executive officer CEO\u3001\u6700\u9ad8\u7d4c\u55b6\u8cac\u4efb\u8005<br>relevant\u3000 \u95a2\u4fc2\u306e\u3042\u308b\u3001\u95a2\u9023(\u6027)\u306e\u3042\u308b\u3000<br>landscape (\u7279\u5b9a\u306e\u6d3b\u52d5\u306e)\u5927\u52e2\u3001\u72b6\u6cc1<br>fanfare\u3000 \u30d5\u30a1\u30f3\u30d5\u30a1\u30fc\u30ec\u3001\u9cf4\u308a\u7269\u5165\u308a\u306e\u5ba3\u4f1d<br>aviator\u3000\u98db\u884c\u58eb\u3001\u30d1\u30a4\u30ed\u30c3\u30c8<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"1213\">12\/13(\u65e5)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/113763\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>Airbnb Tops $100 Billion on First Day of Trading, Reviving Talk of a Bubble<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aErin Griffith<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past decade, Airbnb has upended the travel industry, riled regulators, frustrated local communities and created a mini-economy of short-term rental operators, all while spinning a warm narrative of belonging and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Thursday, Airbnb sold investors on an even unlikelier story: that it is a pandemic winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company\u2019s shares skyrocketed on their first day of trading, rising 113% above the initial public offering price of $68 to close at $144.71. That put Airbnb\u2019s market capitalization at $100.7 billion \u2014 the largest in its generation of \u201cunicorn\u201d companies and more than Expedia Group and Marriott International combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airbnb\u2019s offering raised $3.5 billion, making it the biggest IPO this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a day earlier, DoorDash, a food delivery startup, also defied gravity by raising $3.4 billion in its first day of trading, when its share price surged 86% to a valuation of $68 billion. Both debuts followed a string of other hot IPOs that together make 2020 the busiest year for U.S. public offerings since 1999, according to Renaissance Capital, which tracks IPOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hair-bending offerings this week have raised talk of a new stock market bubble in the midst of a pandemic-induced downturn, as more than 947,000 workers filed new claims for state unemployment benefits last week. With interest rates low and fiscal stimulus goosing parts of the economy, investors have chased ever-riskier bets, driving valuations of unprofitable startups to levels that seem divorced from reality. Robinhood, a stock trading app whose use has spiked in the pandemic, has also flooded the market with millions of day traders eager to get a piece of brand-name tech companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James Gellert, chief executive of Rapid Ratings, a provider of financial analysis, said the \u201cabsurd\u201d valuations represented \u201cthe extreme exuberance and unprecedented liquidity in the market.\u201d He warned that sentiment could quickly turn, bringing IPO investors \u201ca participation hangover in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brian Chesky, Airbnb\u2019s chief executive, said in an interview that he felt a \u201cgroundswell of enthusiasm\u201d while pitching Airbnb to investors, but would not focus on the company\u2019s short-term stock movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t control the stock price, but I can control the story,\u201d said Chesky, 39, whose stake in Airbnb is now worth $11.1 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Upend \u3072\u3063\u304f\u308a\u8fd4\u3059<br>Rile \u6012\u3089\u305b\u308b<br>Narrative \u7269\u8a9e<br>Share \u5206\u3051\u524d\u3001\u682a<br>Skyrocket \u6025\u4e0a\u6607<br>Initial Public Offering IPO\u3001\u65b0\u898f\u4e0a\u5834<br>Market Capitalization \u6642\u4fa1\u7dcf\u984d<br>Raise \u8abf\u9054<br>Defy \u7121\u8996\u3059\u308b<br>Valuation \u4fa1\u5024\u8a55\u4fa1<br>Debut \u30c7\u30d3\u30e5\u30fc\u3001\u521d\u821e\u53f0<br>Hair-bending \u610f\u5916\u306a<br>Fiscal \u8ca1\u653f\u4e0a\u306e<br>Stimulus \u523a\u6fc0<br>Goose \u304a\u5c3b\u3092\u7a81\u304f\uff0f\u89e6\u308b<br>Exuberance \u8c4a\u5bcc<br>Unprecedented \u524d\u4f8b\u306e\u306a\u3044<br>Liquidity \u6d41\u52d5\u6027<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"1214\">12\/14(\u6708)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/113934\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>EU Agrees to Slash Carbon Emissions by 2030<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aMonika Pronczuk<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After an all-night negotiating session, European Union leaders agreed Friday morning to cut net carbon emissions by 55% in the next decade from levels measured in 1990, overcoming the concerns of nations still heavily dependent on coal and taking a critical step in the effort to become climate-neutral by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>European leaders, who are keen to position themselves as at the forefront of the global fight against climate change, had failed in October to reach a deal on an even less ambitious target of 40%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But after an agreement on a $2.2 trillion budget Thursday evening \u2014 with billions earmarked for member states to spend on the transition to a greener economy \u2014 momentum for a consensus environmental policy gathered speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after dawn, Charles Michel, the head of the group of the EU leaders, announced the news on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEurope is the leader in the fight against climate change,\u201d he wrote. \u201cWe decided to cut our greenhouse gas emissions of at least 55% by 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision on the new target comes just in time for the U.N. climate summit Saturday, where it will be announced by Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, the bloc\u2019s executive arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany said it was \u201cworth losing a night\u2019s sleep\u201d over the climate deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to imagine what would have happened if we hadn\u2019t been able to achieve such a result,\u201d she said during a news conference Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the details and language in the agreement were kept vague after many hours of often tense negotiations, leaving it up to the commission to hammer out the specifics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The overnight discussions on climate had been obstructed by the familiar divisions between the wealthier Western European countries pushing for more ambitious targets, and a handful of Eastern European states, led by Poland, that depend heavily on coal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a gesture toward Eastern European governments, the EU leaders decided the target has to be reached by the bloc collectively \u2014 effectively giving coal-dependent countries more time to transition their energy consumption. For the first time, emissions from forests and land use \u2014 which absorb more carbon dioxide that they emit \u2014 will be included in the target, which climate activists say might weaken the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>slash \uff08\uff5e\u3092\uff09\u5927\u5e45\u306b\u524a\u6e1b\u3059\u308b\u3001\u5207\u308a\u4e0b\u3052\u308b (*11\/21 \u5fa9\u7fd2\uff09<br>net carbon emissions \u4e8c\u9178\u5316\u70ad\u7d20\u7d14\u6392\u51fa\u91cf\u3000 (*10\/28 \u5fa9\u7fd2\uff09<br>climate-neutral \u5b9f\u8cea\u6392\u51fa\u30bc\u30ed<br>at the forefront of\u2026 \u2026\u306e\u6700\u524d\u7dda\u3067\u3001\u2026\u306e\u4e2d\u5fc3\u3068\u306a\u3063\u3066<br>earmark \u8cc7\u91d1\u306a\u3069\u3092\u7279\u5b9a\u306e\u7528\u9014\u306b\uff09\u53d6\u3063\u3066\u304a\u304f(*9\/27 \u5fa9\u7fd2\uff09<br>momentum \u6a5f\u904b\u3001\u63a8\u9032\u529b (*11\/12 \u5fa9\u7fd2)<br>consensus \u5408\u610f\u3001\u7d71\u4e00\u898b\u89e3<br>European Commission \u6b27\u5dde\u59d4\u54e1\u4f1a<br>executive arm \u884c\u653f\u306e\u57f7\u884c\u6a5f\u95a2<br>language \u6587\u8a00<br>leave ~ up to \uff5e\u3092\uff08\u4eba\u306b\uff09\u4efb\u305b\u308b<br>hammer out \u82e6\u5fc3\u3057\u3066\u8003\u3048\u51fa\u3059<br>obstruct \u3055\u3048\u304e\u308b\u3001\u59a8\u5bb3\u3059\u308b<br>*obstruction of justice \u53f8\u6cd5\u59a8\u5bb3<br>a handful of \u4e00\u63e1\u308a\u306e<br>collectively [\u526f] \u4f75\u305b\u3066\u3001\u307e\u3068\u3081\u3066 (*11\/24 [\u5f62]collective \u96c6\u5408\u7684\u306a)<br>effectively \u4e8b\u5b9f\u4e0a<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"1215\">12\/15(\u706b)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/114125\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>Bhutan Becomes Latest Asian Nation to Dial Back Anti-Gay Laws<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aMike Ives<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The kingdom of Bhutan prides itself on maximizing \u201cgross national happiness,\u201d but it doesn\u2019t always feel that way to members of the country\u2019s LGBT community. Stigma and discrimination are rife, activists say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This past week, however, lawmakers in the Himalayan country voted to amend a line from Bhutan\u2019s penal code that criminalizes \u201csodomy or any other sexual conduct that is against the order of nature,\u201d previously treated as a reference to gay sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The move, which needs the king\u2019s approval to become law, was the latest example of an Asian government loosening laws governing the private lives of LGBT people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In neighboring India, the Supreme Court unanimously struck down one of the world\u2019s oldest bans on consensual gay sex in 2018, ruling that gay Indians were to be accorded all the protections of the Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, lawmakers in Taiwan voted to legalize same-sex marriage, a first for Asia. That gave new leverage to activists campaigning for marriage equality in Japan and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in July, Thailand\u2019s Cabinet said that it had approved a draft bill that would give same-sex unions many of the same benefits as heterosexual marriages. The legislation avoided the term \u201cmarriage,\u201d but allowed for the legal registration of same-sex partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bhutan\u2019s new law, which passed both houses of Parliament on Thursday, \u201cfolds Bhutan into the global momentum toward recognizing equality for lesbian, gay, and bisexual people,\u201d said Kyle Knight, a senior researcher in the LGBT rights program at Human Rights Watch who has written about the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, he added, \u201cBhutan still has significant work to do to ensure that the rights of people who have been long marginalized on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity are fully protected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bhutan\u2019s penal code was introduced in 2004, four years before the Buddhist-majority nation of 800,000 people held its first elections as part of a transition from absolute monarchy to constitutional democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The campaign to amend anti-gay language in the penal code grew out of an effort to help the Health Ministry prevent HIV in the country&#8217;s gay community. The ministry recognized that the code\u2019s reference to \u201cunnatural sex\u201d could prevent gay and bisexual men from seeking treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>&lt;Pickup Vocabs 1&gt;<br>Dial Back\u3000\u6e1b\u3089\u3059\u3001\u5f31\u3081\u308b<br>pride\u3000v. \u8a87\u308a\u3092\u6301\u3063\u3066\u3044\u308b<br>Stigma\u3000\u6c5a\u540d<br>[\u8a9e\u6e90: \u70d9\u5370]<br>rife\u3000\u8513\u5ef6\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b\u72b6\u614b<br>amend\u3000(\u6cd5\u3084\u8b70\u6848\u306a\u3069\u3092)\u4fee\u6b63\u3001\u6539\u6b63\u3059\u308b<br>[\u89aa\u621a: mend(\u670d\u3001\u9053\u5177\u3001\u5bb6\u306a\u3069\u3092\u76f4\u3059)]<br>penal\u3000\u5211\u6cd5\u306e<br>[\u89aa\u621a: penalty(\u7f70)]<br>sodomy\u3000\u751f\u6b96\u3092\u76ee\u7684\u3068\u3057\u306a\u3044\u6027\u884c\u70ba<br>sexual conduct\u3000\u6027\u884c\u70ba<br>unanimously\u3000\u6e80\u5834\u4e00\u81f4\u3067<br>[\u8a9e\u6e90: unus(\u3072\u3068\u3064\u306e)+animus(\u7cbe\u795e)]<br>consensual\u3000\u5408\u610f\u306e\u4e0a\u3067\u306e<br>[\u8a9e\u6e90: consent(\u5408\u610f)+al(\u301c\u306e)]<br>be accorded\u3000\u4e0e\u3048\u3089\u308c\u308b<br>\u261d\ufe0f\u81ea\u52d5\u8a5e accord(\u4e00\u81f4\u3059\u308b)\u3068\u306e\u9055\u3044<br>&lt;Pickup Vocabs 2&gt;<br>same-sex\u3000\u540c\u6027\u306e<br>\u261d\ufe0fsame-sex marriage(\u540c\u6027\u5a5a)<br>draft bill\u3000(\u6cd5\u6848\u306e)\u8349\u6848<br>\u261d\ufe0fdraft(\u4e0b\u66f8\u304d)<br>heterosexual\u3000\u7570\u6027\u611b\u306e<br>fold into\u3000\u6df7\u305c\u5408\u308f\u305b\u308b<br>marginalized\u3000\u758e\u5916\u3055\u308c\u308b<br>[\u8a9e\u6e90: margin(\u4f59\u767d\u3001\u6b04\u5916)\u306b\u7f6e\u304f\u2192\u758e\u5916\u3059\u308b]<br>on the basis of ~\u3000\u301c\u306b\u3082\u3068\u3065\u3044\u3066<br>sexual orientation\u3000(*6\/16\u5fa9\u7fd2) \u6027\u7684\u6307\u5411<br>transition\u3000\u79fb\u884c<br>[\u8a9e\u6e90: trans(\u8d8a\u3048\u308b)\u3059\u308b\u3053\u3068]<br>absolute monarchy\u3000\u7d76\u5bfe\u541b\u4e3b\u5236<br>language\u3000\u8a00\u3044\u56de\u3057<br>\u261d\ufe0f\u6628\u65e5\u304b\u304a\u308a\u3055\u3093\u304c\u7d39\u4ecb\u3057\u3066\u3044\u305f<br>Watch your language\u306e\u300c\u8a00\u8449\u9063\u3044\u300d\u306b\u8fd1\u3044<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"1216\">12\/16(\u6c34)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/114449\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>Start of Vaccinations Across U.S. Brings Hope As COVID Death Toll Soars<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aCampbell Robertson, Amy Harmon and Mitch Smith<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the very medical centers that have endured the worst of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States found the gloom that has long filled their corridors replaced by elation and hope Monday as health care workers became the first to take part in a mass vaccination campaign aimed at ending the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hundreds of those who have been on the front lines of fighting COVID-19 \u2014 a nurse from an intensive care unit in New York, an emergency room doctor from Ohio, a hospital housekeeper in Iowa \u2014 received inoculations in emotional ceremonies watched by people around the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI feel like healing is coming,\u201d said Sandra Lindsay, an intensive care nurse who was among the first health care workers to be vaccinated Monday morning in Queens, New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the vaccinations came as the nation surpassed 300,000 coronavirus deaths, a toll larger than any other country. Even as applause rang out at hospitals nationwide, many intensive care units remained near capacity and public health experts warned that life would not return to normal until well into next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plunking down in chairs and rolling up their sleeves were physicians, nurses, aides, cleaners and at least one chief executive who said he was getting the vaccine early to encourage everyone on his staff to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of those who had spent months studying the safety of the vaccine was herself vaccinated. \u201cThis is the culmination of a lot of hard work in our clinical trials,\u201d said Dr. Patricia Winokur, 61, principal investigator of the clinical trial of the vaccine and a professor at the University of Iowa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Near the White House, five health workers at George Washington University Hospital were given shots at a national kickoff event. Alex Azar, the health secretary, said that the vaccinations in Washington were \u201crepresentative of what\u2019s happening across America right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first vaccinations come at the bleakest moment of the pandemic in the United States. The country is averaging more than 2,400 deaths a day, even more than in the spring. More than twice as many deaths are being announced each day than just a month ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By day\u2019s end, it was unclear exactly how many Americans had received an initial dose of the approved vaccine, made by Pfizer-BioNTech.

The proposed EU laws would require the companies to do more to prevent the spread of hate speech and sale of counterfeit merchandise, and disclose more information about how services like targeted advertising work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Britain, which is preparing to exit the bloc, the government proposed banning some harmful internet content like terrorism material, suicide videos and child abuse, which could result in billions of dollars in fines. Separately, Irish regulators announced a fine of 450,000 euros (about $547,000) against Twitter for violating EU data protection laws, one of the first penalties of its kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The string of announcements helped reinforce Europe as home to some of the world\u2019s toughest policies toward the technology industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe European Union wants to be the leader in the tech regulation,\u201d said Christoph Schmon, the international policy director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the region is no longer alone in its efforts to limit the power of Big Tech. In the United States, regulators sued Facebook last week for illegally squashing competition, and Google was hit with an antitrust lawsuit in October. In China, the government has begun to clamp down on local tech giants like Alibaba. Australia, India and Brazil are among others debating new regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Governments are increasingly scrutinizing tech companies that have become critical infrastructure for billions of people and businesses to communicate, shop, learn about the world and be entertained.

They Still Won\u2019t Be Protected.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aCatrin Einhorn<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The monarch butterfly is threatened with extinction but will not come under federal protection because other species are a higher priority, federal officials announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials said Tuesday they do not have the money or resources to protect all the species that need it. Currently, 723 animal species are listed as endangered or threatened in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monarchs&#8217; numbers have been decimated by climate-change-fueled weather events and pervasive habitat loss in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe conducted an intensive, thorough review using a rigorous, transparent science-based process and found that the monarch meets listing criteria under the Endangered Species Act,\u201d Aurelia Skipwith, the director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said in a statement. \u201cHowever, before we can propose listing, we must focus resources on our higher-priority listing actions.\u201d As part of the decision, monarchs\u2019 status will be reviewed each year by the agency and conservation efforts will continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of eastern monarchs has declined by 75% since the 1990s, scientists estimate. Western monarchs have seen an even more alarming drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of this collapse is tied to a need for milkweed, the only plant that monarch caterpillars can eat. Milkweed has declined across monarch breeding grounds throughout the United States since farmers started using crops that are genetically modified to tolerate Roundup, a brand of weedkiller. Milkweed often grew among crops but cannot survive spraying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, as the monarchs\u2019 plight has grown more dire, everyday citizens, advocacy groups and government agencies have planted 500 million milkweed stems, officials said, providing a lifeline for monarchs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But given the increasing toll from climate change, which is fueling winter storms that wipe out millions at a time in Mexico, droughts that kill them in the United States and temperature changes that may cause them to migrate too early or too late, efforts to protect monarchs have not been enough. In addition to being threatened by climate change and habitat loss, monarchs are killed by pesticides used on crops and mosquitoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Tuesday, the Trump administration made another announcement about the Endangered Species Act, limiting the very definition of \u201chabitat\u201d under the law. Environmentalists say the move could prevent the protection of land that species need to adapt to climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>monarch butterfly\u3000\u3000\u30aa\u30aa\u30ab\u30d0\u30de\u30c0\u30e9<br>qualify for\u3000\u3000\u5bfe\u8c61\u3068\u306a\u308b\uff0f\u9069\u4efb\u3068\u3055\u308c\u308b<br>endangered\u3000\u3000\u7d76\u6ec5\u5371\u60e7\uff0f\u7d76\u6ec5\u5bf8\u524d<br>decimate\u3000\u3000\u6025\u6fc0\u306b\u6e1b\u5c11\u3059\u308b\uff0f\uff08\u5927\u91cf\u306b\uff09\u6bba\u3059<br>pervasive\u3000\u3000\u5e83\u7bc4\u56f2\u306b\u308f\u305f\u308b\uff0f\u666e\u53ca\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b<br>rigorous\u3000\u3000\u53b3\u5bc6\u306a\uff0f\u53b3\u683c\u306a<br>criteria\u3000\u3000\u57fa\u6e96\uff0f\u6a19\u6e96<br>\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u261d\ufe0f\u5358\u6570\u5f62\u306f criterion<br>milkweed\u3000\u3000\u30df\u30eb\u30af\u30a6\u30a3\u30fc\u30c9\uff0f\u30c8\u30a6\u30ef\u30bf<br>caterpillar\u3000\u3000\u9752\u866b\uff0f\u6bdb\u866b<br>plight\u3000\u3000\u7aae\u72b6\uff0f\u82e6\u5883<br>lifeline\u3000\u3000\u751f\u547d\u7dda\uff0f\u547d\u7db2<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizmates.jp\/?utm_source=vo&amp;utm_medium=pa&amp;utm_campaign=app&amp;utm_content=pavoapp0000001\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"728\" height=\"91\" src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bigbanner_20201202-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bigbanner_20201202-1.png 728w, https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bigbanner_20201202-1-300x38.png 300w, https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bigbanner_20201202-1-450x56.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voicy\u521d\u306e\u516c\u5f0f\u82f1\u8a9e\u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30b9\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u30cd\u30eb\u300cVoicy News Brief with articles from New York Times\u300d\u3002\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u30cd\u30eb\u3067\u306f\u3001\u30d0\u30a4\u30ea\u30f3\u30ac\u30eb\u30d1\u30fc\u30bd\u30ca\u30ea\u30c6\u30a3\u304cThe New York Times\u306e\u8a18\u4e8b\u3092\u82f1\u8a9e\u3067\u8aad\u307f\u3001\u8a18\u4e8b\u306e\u4e2d\u306b\u51fa\u3066\u304f\u308b\u5358\u8a9e\u3092\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u3067\u89e3\u8aac\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002 Voicy Journal\u3067\u306f\u3001\u6bce\u9031\u91d1\u66dc\u65e5\u306b\u305d\u306e\u9031\u306b\u8aad\u3093\u3060\u8a18\u4e8b\u3092\u3001\u307e\u3068\u3081\u3066\u7d39\u4ecb\u3057\u307e\u3059\uff01\uff11\u9031\u9593\u306e\u7d42\u308f\u308a\u306b\u3001\u305d\u306e\u9031\u306e\u653e\u9001\u3092\u3082\u3046\uff11\u5ea6\u805e\u3044\u3066\u5fa9\u7fd2\u3059\u308b\u306e\u3082&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":8399,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":""},"categories":[261],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8391"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8391\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voicy.jp\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
