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.
在雷奧尼爾森林中的數千種動植物中，有少數物種被認爲是受威脅或瀕危物種，我們正在積極保護這些物種。
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.
我們的林務員和承包商經過培訓，能夠了解和識別受保護的 T&E 物種及其棲息地。我們依靠測繪和數據庫工具，以及對我們土地的實際了解，來確定需要採取具體的保護措施。除了我們自己的努力外，我們還參與更廣泛的行業和保護計劃，例如人口研究和調查。
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.
在美國，我們依靠州自然遺產計劃、NatureServe、定期的生物多樣性評估以及林業人員的例行實地考察來尋找潛在的傳染病和環境物種。在新西蘭，稀有、受威脅和瀕危物種（RTES）的發生記錄在我們的EMS數據庫中，因此可以相應地調整森林管理計劃。此外，某些被指定爲重要生態區（SEA）或高保護價值森林（HCVF）的區域需要特別程序來確保它們受到保護。通過使用這些不同的工具，我們發現大約50％的森林有可能成爲T＆E物種的棲息地。
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，我們的森林管理實踐有助於降低對T＆E物種的正常生命週期或棲息地造成不利影響的風險。此類做法包括在進行森林管理活動之前調查地點是否存在物種，在河岸和自然棲息地沿線留下緩衝區，或在一年中的某些時候限制採伐活動。
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 物種是遊牧的，這意味着它們從一個地方移動到另一個地方，它們的棲息地沒有固定的邊界。我們對這些物種的森林管理實踐所做的修改包括手工種植與機器種植，和/或根據它們的運動週期調整活動時間。
