老虎崛起（2024）

The whole city is hoping to hear the patter of tiny paws.
老虎在印度各地人们心中 占有很独特的地位
All across India, the tiger occupies a special place in people's hearts.
对许多印度人而言
For a lot of people in India,
老虎又名瓦格巴 具有神格，也就是被奉为神明
tiger, which is also called as Waghoba, is Dev, which means he's God.
许多人会拜虎神，尤其是乡村居民
A lot of people worship it, especially in the rural areas,
向其力量、威能 及森林之王的身分致敬
for its strength and power and the fact that it rules the forest.
数千年来，老虎都与人类共存
Tigers have lived with people for thousands of years.
它们像皇室成员一样受到喜爱
They're adored like royalty...
也有颂扬老虎的节庆
And celebrated with festivals.
正是这种连结让人类与老虎 能够共享生活空间
It's this connection that allows humans and tigers to live side by side.
我认为印度 在世上大多数国家里是很突出的
I think India stands out amongst most nations in the world
因为本国人♥民♥
for the kind of tolerance
能够包容野生动物 尤其是老虎
that the people of the country show towards wildlife, especially tigers.
住在保护区边缘的老虎
Tigers living around the edges of reserves
很快就学到要避开人类
soon learn to avoid humans.
它们白天会躲起来休息…
By day, they rest out of sight.
如果听到有人接近，它们会继续隐身
If they hear someone coming, they stay hidden.
只有在黄昏 人类离开时，它们才会出现
They only come out at dusk, when the people have left.
老虎不会把人类当成猎物
Tigers don't look at humans as prey.
事实上，它们很怕人类 或任何用双脚站立的东西
In fact, they are quite afraid of people, of anything standing on two feet,
它们非常畏惧
they're afraid of them.
不过悲剧性的意外也可能会发生
But tragic accidents can occur.
当村民在森林里工作得比较晚
When villagers work late in the forest,
缺乏经验的年轻老虎 可能会误以为他们是猎物
a young inexperienced tiger may mistake them for prey animals.
人类蹲着时
When a human being crouches down,
从老虎的角度来看 那看起来就像可以猎食的物种
from a tiger's point of view, that looks like a prey species.
几乎所有因老虎而死的人类 都是意外身亡
Almost all human deaths because of tigers are accidental deaths.
在印度某些地区，老虎数量增加
In some parts of India, the rise in tiger numbers
造成攻击事件大幅上升
is causing a dramatic spike in attacks.
老虎数量增加是好消息
Increasing tiger numbers is good news, you know.
对世人来说，这是保育成功的案例
It's a conservation success story for the world.
但许多人们 会因为老虎数量增加而付出代价
But a lot of people pay a price for this rise in tiger numbers.
这可能会影响人们多年来
What is at stake is the years of tolerance
对老虎的包容
that people have shown towards these tigers.
在老虎保护区边缘拍摄时
While filming on the edges of tiger reserves,
普嘉与卡里安 目睹人们费了很大的力气
Pooja and Kalyan have witnessed the efforts of the people
来保护村民与老虎
working to keep both villagers and tigers safe.
大家请靠过来
Everyone please huddle.
如果有令人困扰的老虎
The Forest Department Primary Response team
就要先联络森林部的主要应变小组
is the first to be called when there's a problem tiger.
森林保护员席塔尔萨克瑞 从事这份工作六年了
Forest Guard Shital Thakre has been doing the job for six years.
她的团队今天应要求
Today, her team has been called to a village
前往一座有人遭到杀害的村子
where someone has been killed.
接获村落通报时
When we get a call from the village,
我们会去现场了解状况
we go there to see what's happened.
发现有一名女子被老虎咬死时 我们都很难过
We feel terrible to find that a woman has been killed by a tiger.
主要应变小组
The primary response team is sent in
被派来找出惹了麻烦的老虎
to identify the problem tiger
并且捕捉它，带回去圈养
so it can be captured and taken into captivity.
既然这只老虎还在附近
With the tiger still nearby,
席塔尔的首要任务就是保护村民
Shital's priority is to keep the people safe.
有些野生动物会穿越农田
There are wild animals moving through the farms.
所以晚上不该有人 待在农田里或进入森林
So nobody should stay late on the farms or go into the forest.
在塔杜巴国家公园近郊这个地区
In this area, on the outskirts of Tadoba National Park,
老虎的数量在十年内已变成四倍之多
the number of tigers has quadrupled in just ten years.
这不是单一事件，还有许多类似事件
This is not a one-off incident. There are many like this.
如果任何地方出了事
If there's an incident anywhere,
我们就得做好准备，立刻过去
we have to get ready and go there straight away.
我们时时刻刻都得提高警觉
We have to be alert 24 hours a day.
老虎晚上比较活跃
Tigers are most active at night.
席塔尔与她的团队在周围地区搜索
Shital and her team sweep the surrounding area,
希望能驱赶村子里这只老虎
hoping to push the tiger away from the village.
这种工作很危险
It's a dangerous job.
注意后面
Pay attention at the back.
他们得找出要对付的老虎
They need to identify which tiger they're dealing with.
小组内的生物学家拉克许 检视了远端摄影机拍摄到的画面

六
Um, six.
每只老虎的纹路都是独特的
Every tiger has a unique set of stripes.
比对纹路后 他看得出来是一只叫P2的年轻公老虎
By comparing them, he can see it's a young male called P2.
走吧
Let's go.
小组晚上在此镇守
The presence of the team overnight
让村民比较安心
helps the villagers feel safer.
老虎数量增加也造成了恐惧
The rising number of tigers is raising fears.
空间有限
There's limited space
未来会有更多问题
and there will be more problems in years to come.
我们得帮助每个人了解
We have to help people understand
老虎通常不会杀死人类
that tigers don't usually kill humans.
这些是意外
These are accidents.
我们会设法避免类似的情况重演
We will try to make sure that this doesn't happen in the future.
席塔尔独居，离家很远
Shital lives alone, a long way from home.
在这种时候 她比任何时刻都想念家人
At times like this, she misses her family more than ever.
嗨
Hi.
你的身体还好吗？
Tell me how's your health?
一切都好
Everything is well.
回来吧，妈妈煮了辣味炒拌菜
Come home. Mother has made sabzi.
你什么时候会来村子里？
When are you coming to the village?
好，我会去的
Yes. I'll come.
再见 -再见
Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.
席塔尔的家人希望她回到村子里
Shital's family wants her to return to the village,
但她对这份工作有很强的使命感
but she feels a strong calling for this work.
我热爱自己在森林的工作
I love my job at the forest,
我喜欢接触丛林、动物与人们
I like that I am in touch with the jungle, the animals and the people.
所以我想暂时继续独居
So for now, I want to continue living alone.
席塔尔觉得很自豪 她是少数几个做这份工作的女性之一
Shital is proud to be one of the few women doing her job.
我想让女性知道她们得勇于实现梦想
I want to tell women to fulfill their dreams.
如果她们想当森林保护员 或从事其他工作
If they want to become a forest guard or anything else,
就一定要去逐梦
they must go for it.
回到村子里
Back at the village,
席塔尔与她的团队现在承受了压力 他们必须带走惹出事端的老虎
Shital and her team are under pressure to remove the problem tiger.
需要捕捉老虎时
And when a tiger needs capturing,
就得找野生动物兽医 拉维科布加底医生来帮忙
the person to call is wildlife vet Dr. Ravi Khobrogade.
没有在捕捉老虎时
When he's not catching tigers,
拉维都在自己的治疗中心 照顾失依的动物
Ravi is caring for orphaned animals at his treatment center,
例如这只懒熊
like this baby sloth bear.
我们得人工喂养
We have to do hand-rearing.
我们现在就像它的母亲一样
Right now we are behaving like her mother.
接获通知时
When the call comes through,
拉维就得动员他的快速救援小组
Ravi has to mobilize his rapid rescue team.
他们得到要求 去为问题老虎P2施打镇静剂
They've been asked to tranquilize the problem tiger P2
并将它从村子里带走
and take him away from the village.
如果找到P2 这会是他们捕捉的第50只老虎
P2 will be their 50th tiger capture if they can find him.
我们得从老虎的角度去思考
We have to think like a tiger.
这是我从老虎救援行动中 学到的重要教训
This is the big lesson that I learned from the rescue of tigers.
我得知道老虎的下一步
I must know what will be the next step of the tiger.
拉维与团队正在寻找 一只名叫P2的老虎
Ravi and his team are searching for a single tiger, known as P2.
它会不断移♥动♥，寻找它就像大海捞针
He's a moving needle in a giant haystack.
他们打算捕捉P2，带回去圈养
The plan is to capture P2 and take him into captivity,
但这绝非易事
but it's not going to be easy.
两天后，拉维听说P2 在一座农田边缘杀死一只乳牛
Two days later, Ravi hears that P2 has killed a cow on the edge of a farm.
他们打算在那里守株待兔 希望P2会回来觅食
They plan to stake out the location hoping that P2 returns to feed.
拉维的助理艾杰 会用飞镖枪来帮老虎施打镇静剂
Ravi's assistant, Ajay, will be using a dart gun to tranquilize the tiger.
好，处理好了
Okay. Done.
拉维和艾杰今晚找好地方安顿下来
Ravi and Ajay settle in for the night.
老虎总是很聪明
Tiger is always clever, man,
因此才能称霸丛林
that's why he's the king of jungle.
所以我们得动脑才能智取聪明的它们
So we must think to overcome their cleverness.
我们现在只是在守株待兔 并注意周遭的动静
Now we are just waiting and watching all around us.
他们等了很久…
It was a long wait...
却毫无成果
with nothing to show for it.
昨晚对我们来说太辛苦了
Yesterday's night is too hard for us
老虎却没出现
