| 对环境破坏的惩罚 | penalty for environmental damage Punishment, varying from fines to withdrawal of government funds to economic sanctions, which is imposed for the harm or injury done to natural resources (惩罚，包括罚款、收回政府资助等形式，通常是由于对自然资源造成破坏而实施的。) |
| 建筑破坏 | building destruction The tearing down of buildings by mechanical means (通过机械手段对建筑物的拆除。) |
| 恶意破坏行为 | vandalism The deliberate or wanton destruction of personal or public property caused by a vandal (一个故意破坏者对个人或公共财产造成的蓄意或肆意破坏。) |
| "损坏" | "distress" |
| 栖息地破坏 | habitat destruction Destruction of wildlife habitats by increasing pressure for land by fast-growing human populations, pollution and over-exploitation. Whole species or populations of plants and animals have disappeared causing a loss of genetic resource that is not only regrettable from an aesthetic or philosophical point of view but also threatens man's food supply. Habitat loss takes several forms: outright loss of areas used by wild species; degradation, for example, from vegetation removal and erosion, which deprive native species of food, shelter, and breeding areas; and fragmentation, when native species are squeezed onto small patches of undisturbed land surrounded by areas cleared for agriculture and other purposes (由于人口的快速成长对土地需求的增加、以及污染和过度的开发，造成野生动物栖地的破坏。动、植物之物种或族群的全面消失使得基因源丧失，其不仅在哲学和美学的层面会留下遗憾，且威胁人类的食物来源。栖地的消失有几种型式：如，野生物种栖地的澈底消失；植被移除或腐蚀导致土质恶化，影响原生物种的食物、栖地、养育地；或因为农业或其他用地的使用，使原生物种被迫迁移至未受干扰但被其他用途所围绕的小块土地时，其活动区域遭到分割。) |
| 核破坏责任 | liability for nuclear damages Subjection to a legal obligation, such as financial recompense or ecological reparations, for any harm or damage inflicted on persons, property or the environment during the production, use or transport of radioactive materials used as an energy source or in weaponry (服从法定的义务，诸如作为能源或武器，在生产、使用、运输放射性物质过程中对人身财产及坏境造成破坏的，要承担相应的经济补偿和生态补偿。) |
| 森林植被破坏 | forest cover destruction Destruction of forests is carried out in many countries in order to provide new land for agricultural or livestock purposes. It is often done without factors such as climate and topography having been sufficiently studied and on lands where slope nature of the soil or other physiographic characteristics clearly indicate that the land involved is suitable only for forest. Although these practices may lead to a temporary increase in productivity, there are also many indications that in the long run there is usually a decrease in productivity per unit of surface and that erosion and irreversible soil deterioration often accompany this process. Many factors contribute to forest cover destruction: timber production, clearance for agriculture, cutting for firewood and charcoal, fires, droughts, strip mining, pollution, urban development, population pressures, and warfare (森林的破坏在许多国家都在进行，为农业或畜牧业提供了新的土地。这种开发通常没有经过对气候地形的充分研究，通常也没有考虑这片土地的斜坡性质或其他自然地理特征可能只适合森林。虽然这些做法可能导致暂时增加生产力，从长远来说，通常在每单位面积的生产力下降，土壤的侵蚀和不可逆转的恶化往往伴随着这一过程。许多因素造成了森林覆盖率的破坏：木材生产，农业需要，为切割金属而需要的木柴和木炭，火灾，旱灾，条带开采，污染，城市发展，人口的压力，和战争。) |
| 森林破坏 | forest damage Reduction of tree population in forests caused by acidic precipitation, forest fires, air pollution, deforestation, pests and diseases of trees, wildlife, etc. (森林树木数量的减少，主要因为酸性降水，森林火灾，空气污染，森林砍伐，虫害和树木疾病，野生动物等。) |
| 森林破坏细目 | inventory of forest damage Survey of a forest area to determine forest depletion. The aim of the inventory is to give an overview of the forest conditions. Especially should the inventory aim to detect any changes in the forest conditions, but it should also provide the distribution of the forest damages and find out any relation with site and stand conditions (对森林面积的勘测调查，以确定森林的退化。这项清单的目的是给出森林状况的概况，特别是其可用以检测森林状况的一些改变，其还应该提供森林退化的分布并找出任何与所处地域条件的关系。) |
| 环境破坏 | environmental damage |
| 环境破坏 | environmental vandalism |
| 破坏性组分 | destructive component |
| 破坏性组成部分 | destructive component |
| 自然资源破坏评价 | natural resource damage assessment |
| 臭氧层破坏 | stratospheric ozone depletion Damage of the ozone shield by chemicals released on Earth. The main chemicals that are depleting stratospheric ozone are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which are used in refrigerators, aerosols, and as cleaners in many industries, and halons which are used in fire extinguishers. The damage is caused when these chemicals release highly reactive forms of chlorine and bromine (地球上释放的化学物质对臭氧层的破坏。而消耗平流层臭氧的主要化学品是含氯氟烃(CFC)，它多用于冰箱，气雾剂，并在很多行业用于清洁剂，灭火器等。当这些化学物质释放的氯和溴的呈高活性形式时，便会造成的损害。) |
| 辐射破坏 | radiation damage Somatic and genetic damage to living organisms caused by exposure to ionizing radiation (由于暴露在电离辐射下而引起的对生物肉体和基因的破坏。) |
