We further damage the Earth by building new channels in the sea and factories on the land, and by creating pollution with chemical waste.
通過在海底建隧道、在陸地上建工廠以及化學(xué)廢物造成的污染，我們更進一步地破壞了地球。
We will some day destroy the planet we live on if we continue in this way.

However, if we focus only on conservation, then people may suffer. Not everything that is best for nature is good for people.

From the point of view of some people, we are only doing what humans have always done, using nature to meet our own needs.
根據(jù)有些人的想法，我們只是在做人類一直在做的事情—利用自然滿足我們自己的需求。
