But these plans must be made sensitively, as the indigenous communities living in pig-nosed turtle habitat often rely on protein from the reptile to survive.

但是同时该计划的制定还必须小心谨慎，因为生活在猪鼻龟栖息地的土著居民常常依赖这种爬行动物作为蛋白质的来源，猪鼻龟是他们生存的必需品。

According to the scientists, conservation plans to save the turtle are urgently needed, and, even if implemented, it will take decades for the pig-nosed turtle to recover.

据科学家们所言，对猪鼻龟的保护计划已经迫在眉睫，而且，即使这一计划得以实施，猪鼻龟想要恢复数量仍需要花费几十年的时间。
