Hello, I'm James Leape, Director General of WWF of International. WWF, the global conservation organization was founded in 1961. Today we are working over a hundred countries with five million supporters around the world. Our mission is to find ways for people to live in harmony with nature.

大家好，我是世界自然基金會全球總干事詹姆斯·李普。世界自然基金會是一個自然環境保護機構，成立于1961年。目前，世界自然基金會在全球一百多個國家開展工作，擁有五百萬支持者。我們的宗旨是致力于尋求人類與自然和諧共處的途徑。

WWF was the first global conservaton organization to be invited to work in China in 1980. We opened our office in Beijing in 1996 and today we have offices in eight other cities across the country. We work to save China the most extraordinary ecosystems from Amur-Heilong forests along the Russian boarder to the Yangtze River basin, to the Tibetan Plateau. With our government partners, we have helped to create more than sixty reserves to protect the giant panda, have also worked to start environmental education programs and helped business develop sustainable practices.

1980年，世界自然基金會受邀開始在中國開展工作，是第一個被中國邀請在中國境內開展工作的環保機構。1996年，世界自然基金會正式在北京成立辦事處。目前，我們在中國的另外八個城市也已經建立了辦事處。我們致力于拯救中國最不尋常的生態系統，包括黑龍江地區的森林，長江流域和西藏高原的生態系統。在政府合作伙伴的協助下，我們已經創建了六十多個大熊貓保護區，我們也啟動了環境教育項目，并幫助企業建立可持續發展的運作。

As we look forward to the Shanghai Expo, we look forward to the opportunity to celebrate 30 years working in this extraordinary country and to help people understand the conservation challenges this country faces and great progress that has already been made. We hope to inspire people to take action on climate change, to find ways to protect the habitats upon which wild life depends, and to find a way to use our forest resources more sutainably.

我們期待著上海世界博覽會，期待著借助這個機會慶祝我們在中國走過的三十年，期待著幫助人們了解中國面臨的環保挑戰以及已經取得的巨大成績。我們希望鼓勵大家就氣候變化做出行動，找到保護野生動物賴以生存的棲息地的辦法，找到可持續使用森林資源的途徑。

I hope you join us at the Shanghai Expo. The WWF Pavilion will give you a chance to learn more about climate change, about how we can reserve freshwater and forest resources, about your ecological footprints, and of course about tigers and pandas. There will be many exciting activities throughout the life of the Expo, and especially on June 5th, because June 5th at the expo will be the WWF Day, and not coincidentally World Environment Day. It's time for us to celebrate 30 years working in China and I hope you make a point of being there. Thank you.

我希望大家都能光臨上海世界博覽會。世界自然基金會展廳將給大家一個機會更好地了解氣候變化，了解我們應該如何保護淡水資源和森林資源，了解你自己的生態足跡，當然，還可以了解老虎和熊貓。在上海世博會期間將會有許多令人興奮的展覽活動，尤其是在6月5日，因為6月5日將是世博會期間的“世界自然基金日”，也是世界環境保護日。我們要在這一天慶祝在中國的這30年。我希望您能親臨世博會。謝謝。
