最新发布的《濒危物种红皮书》显示，尽管生命演化出了适应极端环境的生存策略，但人类的破坏性活动正使这些策略失效 [1]。报告特别指出，导致深海热液喷口处数百种软体动物面临严重灭绝风险的主要原因是深海采矿活动 [1]。在这些水温可达 450°C（842°F）的深海环境中发现的物种中，三分之二已处于濒危状态 [1][1]。
A newly released Red List indicates that while life has evolved sophisticated adaptations to extreme environments, these strategies are increasingly overwhelmed by destructive human activities [1]. The report highlights a specific crisis facing soft-bodied animals inhabiting deep-sea hydrothermal vents, where water temperatures can reach 450°C (842°F) [1]. According to the data, two-thirds of the hundreds of species discovered in these vent environments now face an imminent risk of extinction [1]. The primary driver behind this endangerment is identified as deep-sea mining operations [1].
