Animal Conservation
Many animal and plant species have become extinct（灭绝的）and many more are in critical danger. Finding ways to protect the earth's wildlife and conserve（保护）the natural world they inhabit（居住）is now more important than ever.
Dodo
The Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth's biology. The flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It lived off fruit fallen from the island's trees and lived unthreatened until humans arrived in 1505. The easily controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and last one was killed in 1681.
Rhinos
The Rhino (犀牛) horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine. This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat. Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most rhinos now live in protected natural parks and reserves（保护区）. Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers（偷猎者）.
The Giant Panda
The future of the World Wildlife Fund's symbol is far from certain. As few as 1000 remain in the wild． The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals and made poaching them punishable with 20 years in prison. However, The panda's distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose（造成）one of the most serious threats to the animals continued existence.
Whales
The International Whaling Commission is fighting to ensure the survival of the whale species. Despite the fact that one-third the world's oceans have been declared whale sanctuaries（保护区）, 7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered． Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their numbers have decreased to just 300. Collisions（碰撞）with ships, poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.
Tigers
The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5000 and 7000 and The Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers’ bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines. These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.

2. 网络缺陷 随着网络用户的不断增加，各种新应用、新业务的开展，对网络带宽、安全性、稳定性都提出了更高的要求。该企业广域网络存在以下问题： ● 核心至二级站点间带宽只有4Mbps，随着高清视频会议等系统的建设，现有网络带宽已经不能满足应用需求； ● 数据设备使用年限较长，配置低，无法进行扩容，随着业务量急剧增大，将无法维持系统正常运转，也不能胜任网络升级的需要； ● 华为NE05 型号路由器已停产，配件、模块较难购置，设备不定期会出现丢包现象，影响网络稳定； ● 路由设备均是单点结构，存在单点故障，安全性低。 3. 各类应用带宽 根据用户对企业内部现有典型应用的流量分析，考虑到各应用在两年内的正常业务增长，形成了如表3-1 所示的典型应用带宽需求。
4. 升级目标 本次升级改造主要达到以下的目标： ● 对核心和分支机构路由设备进行更新，并与原有系统形成设备、链路双备份，增强安全性； ● 将核心到各个分支机构数据网络带宽进行升级； ● 根据应用业务的特性，采用QoS 技术，确保广域网络的服务质量。
