Partie 2 (4pts) : traduisez en français le passage suivant du document D (l. 3-9) : Many coal mines have been forced to close or been abandoned, causing communities to be uprooted and jobs to disappear. Specifically, southern West Virginia has been left devastated and forgotten by the war on coal. McDowell County was once a thriving community with over 100,000 people, but a generation later, the census revealed there were only 19,111 people left because the jobs and opportunities dried up. This heartbreaking reality is seen across my entire Wild and Wonderful state. 24-LLCERANMCPO1 2/10 SUJET 1 DOCUMENT A Chris Britt, Illinois Times, August 2018 24-LLCERANMCPO1 3/10 SUJET 1 DOCUMENT B New book1 explores coal's legacy and Appalachia's future […] More than 3,800 square miles of Appalachia2, and more than 10 percent of the land area in the most heavily mined counties, have been surface mined for coal. These lands have altered soils and typically host plant communities that differ from the region’s native forests, often with non-native invasive plants. They also give rise to waters 5 that carry pollutants from the mined areas for decades. These resource effects also impact animals, as both land-based wildlife and aquatic biota3 in mining-affected areas differ from those of the region’s still-extensive native forests. Human communities also bear the influence of the region’s mining history, as economic, educational, and human-health indicators in the most intensive coal-mining areas are below 10 levels of nearby areas where mining did not occur or was less intensive. These effects remain evident even as coal mining declines to levels last seen in the late 19th century. Despite impairment by mining, the region’s extensive and mostly unused mined lands have the potential for conversions to uses that support ecological and human needs. Where the terrain is favorable, seeding, fertilization, and vegetation management can convert degraded 15 mine sites to livestock pasture.
