那里的鲱鱼被过度捕捞。 where herring have been overfished.
然而，座头鲸以其聪明才智而闻名。 Humpbacks, however, are renowned for their ingenuity.
12年前，一位名叫Conger的成年男性 12 years ago, an adult male called Conger
采用了全新的喂养方式。 adopted a totally new way of feeding.
当水中鱼的密度较低时， When the density of fish in the water is low,
鸟儿们潜入水中捕捉它们...... and birds are diving to catch them...
...座头鲸张开嘴 ...the humpback opens its mouth
并创造一个被鱼误认为庇护所的空间。 and creates a space that the fish mistake for shelter.
鱼儿游在... The fish swim in...
……陷阱就关闭了。 ...and the trap is closed.
海康格鲸是第一头被发现这样做的座头鲸。 Conger was the first humpback whale to be seen doing this.
现在该地区有 30 头鲸鱼使用同样的技术。 Now 30 whales in the area use this same technique.
这里的座头鲸数量正在增长， The population of humpbacks here is growing,
你可能认为这会 and you might think that this would
进一步减少鱼类资源， reduce fish stocks even more,
但人们认为令人惊讶的事情正在发生。 but something surprising is thought to be happening.
这些微小的浮游植物是食物链的基础 These tiny phytoplankton are the basis of the food chain
并且需要重要的成分才能生长。 and need a vital ingredient to grow.
铁。 Iron.
鲸鱼的粪便富含铁... Whale faeces are rich in iron...
...大鲸鱼大量生产它... ...and great whales produce it in enormous quantities...
...所以浮游植物繁盛，鲱鱼以它为食。 ...so the phytoplankton flourishes, and herring feed on it.
事实上，鲸鱼的粪便 Whale faeces, in fact,

鲱鱼吸引海鸟， The herring attract seabirds,

正在大口吃鱼， are feasting on fish,
他们在海洋施肥方面的作用是如此有影响力 their role in fertilising the ocean is so influential
这里的鲱鱼数量实际上预计会增加。 that herring numbers here are actually predicted to increase.
以及它们在恢复环境活力方面发挥的作用...... And the role they play in rejuvenating the environment...
......对人类世界产生更大的影响。 ...is having an even greater impact on the human world.
繁盛的浮游生物也收集碳 The flourishing plankton also collects carbon
从大气中，就像树一样...... from the atmosphere, just as trees do...
...如此之多以至于每头鲸鱼 ...so much so that each great whale
与拥有 30,000 棵树的森林具有相同的影响。 has the same impact as a forest of 30,000 trees.
我们的大鲸鱼曾经被猎杀...... Our great whales were once hunted...
...如果它们恢复到捕鲸前的数量， ...and if they return to their pre-whaling numbers,
估计这相当于种草了 it's estimated that this would be equivalent to planting
超过300亿棵树。 over 30 billion trees.
鲸鱼现在被认为对人类有益。 Whales are now being recognised as benefiting humanity.

因为这样效率更高 And because that's so much more efficient,
我们仍然可以生产足够的食物来养活我们， we could still produce enough to feed us,

最安全的拍摄方式是使用无人机。 the safest way to carry on filming is with the drone.
我们失去了无人机吗？ 我想阿比已经看到了。 Have we lost the drone? I think Abi has seen it.

别担心。 我是认真的。 Don't worry about it. I mean it.
别担心。 绝对没问题。 Don't worry about it. It's absolutely fine.
这不行。 这是。 没关系。 It's not OK. It is. It's OK.
是装备啊 我们有一个备用的。 It's equipment. We've got a spare.
最重要的是，我们都很安全。 没有人受伤。 The main thing is, we're all safe. No-one's hurt.

值得注意的是，一些动物幸存下来。 Remarkably, some animals have survived.
对我来说很痛苦
因为大自然是有生命的，就像我们一样
我们所拥有的一切，它也拥有
所以看到这样的森林很难过
受罚应该！但不应该这样对待
它一定很强壮
给我们力量
因为如果它变弱，我们就会感觉更弱
如果它倒下了，我们都会倒下

农业用地 agricultural use of land
是人类主要的破坏性行为。 was the primary, like, destructive behaviour of humanity.
当我们扩大这种增长方式时， As we expand this means of growing,
我非常希望这种方法最终能够 I'm very hopeful that this approach can ultimately
让大量土地回归自然 give a lot of land back to nature
