绿色星球（2022）

In five years, trees covered the land again,
而在十年后
and within ten,
这里发生了显著的变化
it was clear something remarkable was happening.
当雨水落下时 它不再顺着地表流走
When rain falls, it now no longer simply runs off the land,
让土地依然干旱
leaving it parched.
而是附着在植物上
Instead, it clings to the plants,
到每处根、茎和叶上...
to every root, stem and leaf...
然后慢慢地渗入森林的地表
..and then slowly filters to the forest floor.
就这样 曾经干涸的溪流
..and, so, previously dry streams burst into life
几十年来第一次迸发出活力
for the first time in decades.
这家研究所从未引入过
The Institute never introduced animals or plants
除了树木以外的动植物
other than the trees.
但动物们反而自己回来了
The animals came back on their own.
率先出现的是小动物
Small ones came first.
然后 就在最近
And then, very recently,
安置在森林中的遥感摄像机拍到的图像
camera traps left in the forest captured images
超出了所有人的预期
beyond the hopes of everyone involved.
一只鬃狼
A maned wolf,
它原本因森林砍伐被迫离开原始栖息地
an animal that is being driven from its native habitat by deforestation,
如今被它最喜欢的植物
drawn to its favourite plant,
狼果树吸引了回来
the wolf fruit tree.
不仅如此...
Not only that...
一只美洲狮
..a puma...
还有它的幼崽！
..with cubs!
这些珍贵的顶级捕食者携带幼崽出现
The arrival of these precious top predators and their young
说明了我们为野生植物腾出空间后会有怎样的变化
shows what can happen when we make space for wild plants.
几个世纪以来 我们夺走了
We have, for centuries,
野生植物茁壮成长所需的空间和时间
robbed wild plants of the space and time they need to thrive.
这不仅对它们没有好处
That has certainly not been to their benefit.
最终也同样会损害我们自己的利益
Nor, ultimately, is it to ours.
历史上 我们与植物的关系会不断变化
Our relationship with plants has changed throughout history,
如今理应再次改变
and now it must change again.
无论是我们培养的或用来食用的植物
Whether it's what we eat and cultivate
还是单纯供人欣赏的植物
or whether it's what we like,
我们现在必须与它们携手并进 让世界变得更有绿意
we must now work with plants and make the world a little greener,
更具野性
a little wilder.
这样一来 我们的未来将更健康
If we do this, our future will be healthier
更安全
and safer
而且根据我的经验 我们会更快乐
and, in my experience, at any rate, happier.
植物毕竟是
Plants are, after all,
人类最古老的盟友 我们可以一起
our most ancient allies, and, together,
使这个星球变得越发绿意盎然
we can make this an even greener planet.
绿 色 星 球 幕 后 花 絮
在《休戚与共》一集中
Throughout the Human episode,
《绿色星球》摄制组尝试拍摄
the Green Planet crew sought
植物置身人类世界时的生长状态
to capture the lives of plants confronted with the human world.
他们也听取了不少人讲述
But they also heard the stories of people deeply connected
人们与周围的植物紧密相连的故事...
to the plants around them...
其中有些人致力于拯救夏威夷本土濒危植物
..such as those at the front line of the battle to save Hawaii's native
战斗在对抗入侵物种的前线
endangered plants from invasive species.
如果我们无法战胜绢木
If we don't get a handle on Miconia,
夏威夷就可能失去自身独一无二的魅力
we could lose everything that makes Hawaii special and unique.
但在《绿色星球》团队实地拍摄之前
But before the Green Planet team could start work,
他们必须严格进行准备工作
they had to undertake some rigorous preparation.
我们要去的地方...
We're going into somewhere that has very...
是一个非常敏感的生态系统
It's a very sensitive ecosystem.
当地人正在抵御入侵物种
They're trying to protect it from invasives.
在一个入侵物种肆虐的地方进行拍摄
Filming in a place so ravaged by invasive species
意味着他们必须百分之百地确定
meant they had to be 100% sure that they were not spreading
自己不会带入任何非本地物种
any non-native stowaways themselves.
他们必须对每件物品进行擦洗和消毒
They had to scrub and disinfect every item of equipment.
清洁一新后 团队首先专注于拍摄
With kit clean, the team first focus on filming
稀有的刺毛樱莲...
the rare holokea plant...
他们只能步行前去拍摄
..accessible only on foot.
在夏威夷 这样的原始地区已经不多了
There are a few pristine areas like this left in Hawaii,
只有40%的土地仍存有原生植被
only 40% of the land still has native vegetation,
其它大部分地区都被绢木等入侵物种所占据
most of it wiped out by invasive species like Miconia.
接下来 摄制组将拍摄当地团队向绢木宣战
Next on the list was to film the team waging war on Miconia,
绢木被当地人称为“紫色瘟疫”
known locally as the purple plague.
作为团队的一员 阿贾
For crew member Aja,
不但在与入侵物种的斗争中亲力亲为
the work is not just a physical battle
内心更是受到了
against this invasive species,
不小的震撼
it's deeply personal.
我去过原始地区
I've been to the pristine areas,
所以我知道置身其中是怎样的一幅场景
so I know what it looks like and feels like,
亲身体验大自然
you know, to be in the presence
是怎样的非凡感受
of all that mana and spirituality.
它们不仅仅是植物
Those aren't just plants.
更代表着祖先的灵魂
Those are ancestors' spirits, you know?
消灭入侵植物是一项无休止的工作
Controlling these invasive plants is a relentless job,
阿贾这样做 不仅仅是为了夏威夷本土的生态系统
and Aja is not just doing this for native Hawaiian ecosystems,
也是为了纪念曾经守护这片
but also to protect her ancestral relationship
脆弱环境的先人
to this fragile landscape.
我很享受这个过程 砍倒它们
So, going through this, it feels good to hack 'em
或者连根拔起
and pull them out and be like,
“太棒了 接招吧！”你懂的
"Yeah, OK, take that!" You know?
这就是我们发起的反击
We can sort of fight back.
阿贾对保护本土森林的热情是有目共睹的
Aja's fierce passion to protect these native forests is evident,
但是“紫色瘟疫”已经蔓延到
but the purple plague has spread to places
阿贾步行无法到达的地方
Aja could never reach on foot.
搭乘直升机是抵达战场前沿的
Taking to the sky is the only way to reach the front line
唯一途径
of this battleground.
燃料只够直升机在空中停留两个小时
With only enough fuel to stay airborne for two hours,
允许摄制组拍摄这场空战的时间非常有限
the window for capturing this aerial battle is uncomfortably small.
我们有一天的时间乘坐直升机行动
We have one day of doing the heli operations.
计划可能会被天气打乱
The weather could completely mess us up
如果直升机之间形成局部气流干扰
if we get a system that comes in,
就会变得很棘手
heli to heli is always dangerous and difficult.
丽兹不是唯一忐忑不安的人
This flight is not just tense for Liz,
负责射击植物的布鲁克·曼肯
for plant sniper Brooke Mahnken,
将短程飞行 视为自己阻止物种入侵的
these short flights represent his only opportunity
唯一途径
to hold back the invasion.
如果不加以控制 绢木会造成可怕的破坏
Miconia left unchecked can be terribly damaging.
作为种子植物
The potential for one seeding plant,
一旦它在种群之外扎根
if it were to get far away from the population,
成熟之后继续散播种子
reach maturity and put seeds out,
新的入侵就会形成
then it's starting a whole new infestation.
一旦它占据了整个区域
And once it occupies that entire area,
其它物种将难以存活
then it's completely wiped it out.
直升机真的很重要 因此你可以在
The helicopter is really important because you can fly in extreme
极端的地形上空飞行 比如数百米高的悬崖
terrain with these, like, 1,000ft cliffs
除此之外没有其它途径
and find Miconia that...
能够接近这些植物
There would be no other way to get to these plants.
曼肯的团队已经习惯了空中带来的挑战
The Miconia team are used to the aerial challenges
但对于制片人莉兹来说
of this battle, but for producer Liz,
直升机飞行员此前与她的交谈
the pre-fight talk from the helicopter pilot
也让她切身感受到他们
brings home the lengths that this team go to
为了完成任务所承担的风险
in order to complete their work.
你要坐在机舱后面
So, you're just going to be in the back here
后座风力很大
and it's a hurricane in the back seat,
如同一场飓风 所以一切必须固定
literally a hurricane, so nothing loose,
你可不想把胳膊、腿或手伸出来
you don't want to put an arm ahead, a leg or a hand out
因为可能会被大风卷出机舱
cos it's going to blow behind you
特别是不要伸头
and you don't want to stick your head out
如果头盔脱落
because if the headset comes off,
被卷进螺旋桨 你就和这里永别了
then it's into the tail rotor and then it's bye-bye, Maui.
飞行前的检查结束了
Pre-flight checks completed,
很快 直升机就要升空
the clock is now ticking to get into the air.
这次行动对每个人都很重要
This matters so much to everyone here.
我的确很有压力 争取圆♥满♥成功
I definitely feel the pressure to get this right.
首先要做的是拍摄朝植物射击的特写镜头
The first thing to do is shoot close-up shots at plants
