A decade ago, this island s ecosystem was in 27 . Wild pigs attracted golden eagles from the mainland, an

26、d those flying 28 crashed the fox population. So the Nature Conservancy launched a 29 war against the pigs, complete with helicopters and sharp shooters.And it worked. Today, federal agencies are pulling the island fox from the Endangered Species List. It s the fastest-ever recovery of a mammal, joi

The Nature Conservancy has 30 war on a multitude of invasive species here, from sheep to plants to the 31 Argentine ant. “ Our ph

28、ilosophy with the island has always been, OK, 32 the threats and let the island go back to what it was,” says ecologist Christina Boser. And it appears to be working. Native plants are coming back, and the fox once again bounds about carefree.But keeping those foxes from harm will occupy Boser and h

29、er colleagues for years to come. You see, humans are still allowed on Santa Cruz Island, and they bring dogs. So Boser has to vaccinate her foxes against various diseases. “ We re obligated to keep a pulse on the population for at least five years after the foxes are delisted,” says Boser. That incl

33、 letter on Answer Sheet 2.Do Parents Invade Children s Privacy When They Post Photos Online?A When Katlyn Burbidge s son was 6 years old, he was performing some ridiculous song and dance typical of a first-grader. But after she snapped a photo and started using her phone, he asked her a serious ques

34、tion:“ Are you going to post that online?” She laughed and answered, “ Yes, I think I will.” What he said next stopped her. “ Can you not?”B That s when it dawned on her: She had been posting photos of him online without asking his permission. “ We re big advocates of bodily autonomy and not forcing

35、 him to hug or kiss people unless he wants to, but it never occurred to me that I should ask his permission to post photos of him online,” says Burbidge, a mom of two in Wakefield, Massachusetts. “ Now when I post a photo of him online, I show him the photo and get his okay.”C When her 8-month-old i

36、s 3 or 4 years old, she plans to start asking him in an age-appropriate way, “ Do you want other people to see this?” That s precisely the approach that two researchers advocated before a room of pediatricians (儿科医生 ) last week at the American Academy of Pediatrics meeting, when they discussed the 2

37、1st century challenge of “ sharenting,” a new term for parents online sharing about their children. “ As advocates of children s rights, we believe that children should have a voice about what information is shared about them if possible,” says Stacey Steinberg, a legal skills professor at the Unive

38、rsity of Florida Levin College of Law in Gainesville.D Whether it s ensuring that your child isn t bullied over something you post, that their identity isn t digitally “ kidnapped” , or that their photos don t end up on a half dozen child pornography (色情 ) sites, as one Australian mom discovered, pa

39、rents and pediatricians are increasingly aware of the importance of protecting children s digital presence. Steinberg and Bahareh Keith, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Florida College of Medicine, say most children will likely never experience problems related to what thei

40、r parents share, but a tension still exists between parents rights to share their experiences and their children s rights to privacy.E “ We re in no way trying to silence parents voices,” Steinberg says. “ At the same time, we recognize that children might have an interest in entering adulthood free

41、 to create their own digital footprint.” They cited a study presented earlier this year of 249 pairs of parents and their children in which twice as many children as parents wanted rules on what parents could share. “ The parents said, We don t need rules we re fine, and the children said, Our paren

42、ts need rules,” Keith says. “ The children wanted autonomy about this issue and were worried about their parents sharing information about them.”F Although the American Academy of Pediatrics offers guidelines recommending that 名师归纳总结 精品学习资料 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -精心整理归纳 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - -

He

44、sees a role for pediatricians to talk with parents about this, but believes the messaging must extend far beyond pediatricians offices. “ I look forward to seeing researchers expand our understanding of the issue so we can translate it into effective education and policy,” he says.G There s been lit

45、tle research on the topic, Steinberg wrote in a law article about this issue. While states could pass laws related to sharing information about children online, Steinberg feels parents themselves are generally best suited to make these decisions for their families. “ While we didn t want to create a

46、ny unnecessary panic, we did find some concerns that were troublesome, and we thought that parents or at least physicians should be aware of those potential risks,” Steinberg says. They include photos repurposed for inappropriate or illegal means, identity theft, embarrassment, bullying by peers or

47、digital kidnapping.H But that s the negative side, with risks that must be balanced against the benefits of sharing. Steinberg pointed out that parental sharing on social media helps build communities, connect spread-out families, provide support and raise awareness around important social issues fo

48、r which parents might be their children s only voice.I A C.S. Mott survey found among the 56 percent of mothers and 34 percent of fathers who discussed parenting on social media, 72 percent of them said sharing made them feel less alone, and nearly as many said sharing helped them worry less and gav

49、e them advice from other parents. The most common topics they discussed included kids sleep, nutrition, discipline, behavior problems and day care and preschool.J “ There s this peer-to-peer nature of health care these days with a profound opportunity for parents to learn helpful tips, safety and pr

50、evention efforts, pro-vaccine messages and all kinds of other messages from other parents in their social communities,” says Wendy Sue Swanson, a pediatrician and executive director of digital health at Seattle Children s Hospital, where she blogs about her own parenting journey to help other parent
