1. Barack Obama banned oil and gas drilling in the Arctic

奥巴马总统禁止开采北极的石油和天然气

He might be on his way out of the White House, but Obama is showing no signs of slowing down.

虽然奥巴马即将从白宫卸任，但他不会就此停下保护环境的脚步。

On 20 December, Obama used a 1953 law to permanently ban new oil and gas drilling in most of the US-owned Arctic and Atlantic oceans in an attempt to protect the environment from his successor.

12月20日，奥巴马基于1953年的法律，永久性禁止在北极圈附近美国专属的北极和大西洋大部分海域从事新的石油和天然气钻探活动，以保护环境免受其继任者的影响。

The WWF say that this decision will make it considerably more difficult for Donald Trump to take advantage of US Arctic oil reserves, which is a victory by anyone's standards.

世界自然基金会称，该决定无论站在何人角度都是种胜利，将使唐纳德•特朗普利用美国北极石油储备的难度加大。

3. Planet Earth II filmmakers saved all the lost baby turtles they filmed

《行星地球II》的拍摄者救助了他们拍摄的所有迷路小海龟

David Attenborough has been outspoken in his defence of not interfering with nature, but when Planet Earth II viewers saw thousands of baby turtles become confused because of man-made lights and start hurtling towards the dangers of the city, they couldn't help but intervene.

虽然大卫•阿滕伯勒坦率地替自己辩护称，自己没有干涉自然，但当观众看到《行星地球II》中，成千上万小海龟由于受人造灯光刺激而恐慌起来，进而涌入危险的城市，观众们便不能不出手相助。

As we collectively mourned the loss of so many tiny lives, BBC Earth tweeted: 就在我们为痛失这么多小生命集体哀悼时，BBC地球频道在推特上发文：

Every turtle that was seen or filmed by the #PlanetEarth2 crew was collected and put back into the sea.

“#所有《行星地球II》摄制组看到或拍摄的海龟都被找到并放回了大海。”
