Of the thousands of plants and animals in Rayonier's forests, a few species are considered threatened or endangered, which we work actively to protect.
在雷奥尼尔森林中的数千种动植物中，有少数物种被认为是受威胁或濒危物种，我们正在积极保护这些物种。
Our foresters and contractors are trained to be aware of and recognize protected T&E species and their habitats. We rely on mapping and database tools, as well as a working knowledge of our land, to determine where specific conservation practices are needed. In addition to our own efforts, we also participate in broader industry and conservation initiatives, such as population studies and surveys.
我们的林务员和承包商经过培训，能够了解和识别受保护的 T&E 物种及其栖息地。我们依靠测绘和数据库工具，以及对我们土地的实际了解，来确定需要采取具体的保护措施。除了我们自己的努力外，我们还参与更广泛的行业和保护计划，例如人口研究和调查。
In the U.S., we rely on state natural heritage programs, NatureServe, regular biodiversity assessments, and the routine field work of our foresters to locate potential occurrences of T&E species. In New Zealand, occurrences of Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Species (RTES) are recorded in our EMS database so that forest management plans can be adapted accordingly. In addition, certain areas designated as either Significant Ecological Areas (SEAs) or High Conservation Value Forests (HCVFs) require special procedures to ensure that they are protected. Through the use of these various tools, we have identified that approximately 50% of our forests have the potential of being a T&E species habitat.
在美国，我们依靠州自然遗产计划、NatureServe、定期的生物多样性评估以及林业人员的例行实地考察来寻找潜在的传染病和环境物种。在新西兰，稀有、受威胁和濒危物种（RTES）的发生记录在我们的EMS数据库中，因此可以相应地调整森林管理计划。此外，某些被指定为重要生态区（SEA）或高保护价值森林（HCVF）的区域需要特别程序来确保它们受到保护。通过使用这些不同的工具，我们发现大约50％的森林有可能成为T＆E物种的栖息地。
Importantly, our forest management practices help reduce the risk of adverse impacts to the normal life cycle or habitat of T&E species. Such practices include surveying sites for species occurrences before conducting forest management activities, leaving buffers along riparian and natural habitat areas, or limiting harvest activities during certain times of the year.
重要的是，我们的森林管理实践有助于降低对T＆E物种的正常生命周期或栖息地造成不利影响的风险。此类做法包括在进行森林管理活动之前调查地点是否存在物种，在河岸和自然栖息地沿线留下缓冲区，或在一年中的某些时候限制采伐活动。
Some T&E species are nomadic, which means they move from place to place and do not have fixed boundaries to their habitat. The modifications we make to our forest management practices for these species include hand planting versus machine planting, and/or adapting the timing of activity based on their cycle of movement.
一些 T&E 物种是游牧的，这意味着它们从一个地方移动到另一个地方，它们的栖息地没有固定的边界。我们对这些物种的森林管理实践所做的修改包括手工种植与机器种植，和/或根据它们的运动周期调整活动时间。
