第三章翻譯(3-4節)

The earth's biodiversity is a vital part of the natural capital that help keep us alive. It supplies us with food, wood, fiber, energy, and medicines-allo ofwhich represent hundreds of billions of dollars in the world economy each year. Biodiversity also helps preserve the quality of the air and water, maintain the fertility of soils, dispose of wastes, and control populations of pests.In carrying out these ecological services that are part of the earth's natural capital, biodiversity helps sustain life on the earth.
Biodiversity and threats to this important form of natural capital are discussed in more detail in Chapters9 and 10.
