在亚洲和澳大利亚动物群的交汇处，瓦拉西亚是世界上最大的地方物种中心之一。2300万年复杂的地质历史造就了一个研究进化和生物多样性的活生生的实验室，它极易受到人为压力的影响。在本文中，我们回顾了形成Wallacea生物多样性的历史和当代过程，并探讨了保护其独特生态系统的方法。尽管地处偏远使许多瓦拉斯群岛免于许多热带地区特有的严重过度开发，但农业、采矿、水产养殖和渔业的工业规模扩张正在破坏陆地和水生生态系统，使社区的地方性疾病消失，并威胁到贫困人口的长期遗产。迫在眉睫的生物多样性灾难要求采取合作行动，改善以社区为基础的管理，最大限度地减少环境影响，监测受威胁物种，减少野生动物贸易。为Wallacea濒危的生态系统确保一个积极的未来，需要从根本上改变对海洋和陆地领域的独立管理。
Wallacea—the meeting point between the Asian and Australian fauna—is one of the world's largest centers of endemism. Twenty-three million years of complex geological history have given rise to a living laboratory for the study of evolution and biodiversity, highly vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures. In the present article, we review the historic and contemporary processes shaping Wallacea's biodiversity and explore ways to conserve its unique ecosystems. Although remoteness has spared many Wallacean islands from the severe overexploitation that characterizes many tropical regions, industrial-scale expansion of agriculture, mining, aquaculture and fisheries is damaging terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, denuding endemics from communities, and threatening a long-term legacy of impoverished human populations. An impending biodiversity catastrophe demands collaborative actions to improve community-based management, minimize environmental impacts, monitor threatened species, and reduce wildlife trade. Securing a positive future for Wallacea's imperiled ecosystems requires a fundamental shift away from managing marine and terrestrial realms independently.
