To tell the stories of remarkable paradise habitats, over the course of a year, the Eden film crews immersed themselves in 6 far flung locations: the steaming jungles of Borneo, the scorching desert sands of the Namib, the African Savannah of Luangwa, the remote tropical Islands of the Galapagos, the mountain realm of Patagonia and the pristine temperate forests of Alaska. Each presented the team with fresh challenges, in their attempt to capture ground-breaking behaviours, using the latest technology. And all against the backdrop of a global pandemic.
为了讲述这些天堂般栖息地的故事，在一年多的时间里，《伊甸园》摄制组深入了6个遥远地区进行拍摄。既有潮热的加里曼丹岛丛林，酷热的纳米布沙漠，卢安瓜的非洲大草原，还有偏远热带岛屿加拉帕戈斯群岛，巴塔哥尼亚的高山王国，以及阿拉斯加的原始温带森林。每处地方都让摄制组面临新的挑战，一心为了记录那些不可思议动物的行为。他们利用最先进的拍摄技术，并勇敢地面对全球疫情的影响。
The first location took the Eden crew to a tropical island in the heart of Asia. Venturing deep into the jungles of Borneo to film previously unseen animal behaviour. Using state of the art camera technology, they captured dramatic imagery from above and below. Cutting edge macro lenses revealed new science about the secret lives of Borneo's insects. But the team's greatest challenge was filming a family of rare Bornean orangutans, high up in the world's tallest tropical trees.Camerawoman, Justine Evans, is no stranger to Borneo. She's been coming to the ancient rainforest of Danum Valley for 25 years.
第一处地点引领《伊甸园》摄制组来到了位于亚洲中心的一座热带岛屿上，他们将冒险进入加里曼丹岛的丛林，拍摄前所未见的动物行为。利用先进的摄像技术，他们从高处和地面上，捕捉到了令人激动的画面。先进的微距镜头，为我们揭示了加里曼丹岛上许多昆虫的秘密新行为。而拍摄组最大的挑战，是拍摄一个珍稀的红毛猩猩家庭，它们生活在这个世界上最高的热带树木之上。摄影师贾斯汀·埃文斯是加里曼丹岛的常客，25年来，她经常探访丹浓谷自然保护区的原始雨林。
“I have to say that this is the most beautiful forest I've ever seen.” But outside of protected areas like this, deforestation and palm oil production have led to an 80% loss in orangutan habitat over the last two decades. “I think nothing quite prepares you for the sight of the unrelenting landscape of palm oil. Just the monoculture on such a grand scale, it's shocking. Every time I go back to Borneo, I wonder what I'm gonna find and whether I'm going to see the orangutans.” Justine will have to climb high up into the canopy to stand a chance of filming orangutans in their world.
“不得不说这里是我见过的最美的森林。”但在类似的非保护区，滥伐森林和棕榈种植园扩张，致使红毛猩猩的栖息地在过去20多年里消失了80%。“但你根本无法想象，棕榈种植园大肆扩张的场面，如此大规模的单一种植区域，真的非常令人震惊。每次回到加里曼丹岛，我都不知道会发生什么，不知道能不能见到红毛猩猩。”贾斯汀只有爬到树冠上，才有可能拍摄到野生红毛猩猩。
The team get to work erecting a platform positioned across from a fruiting tree that a mother at her infant have been known to visit. After six hours, everything is in place. Justine will be at eye level with the orangutans. But the platform is only three feet long by three feet wide, it's going to be a tight squeeze. “There's about enough space for the camera and the tripod and me, and that's the edge, all the way down about a hundred foot to the ground. All we need thousand meringue tanks to come along. ”
拍摄组需要架设一个拍摄平台，对准雌性红毛猩猩和它的孩子有可能再次来访的果树。6个小时后，一切都已就位，贾斯汀将和红毛猩猩处在同一水平高度。然而平台只有大约一米见方，上面的空间非常有限。“这里的空间仅能容下摄像机、三脚架和我。这就是边缘，距离地面大约有30米高。现在所需要的，就是等待红毛猩猩的出现。”
For the next seven days, Justine waits patiently, from dawn to dusk, for the mum and baby to show. “I've been here since half 5 in the morning and it's now, 3 pm. That's a long time to be sitting on an aluminium tea tray.” Without any notice, the rainforest dumps an inch of rain onto Justine and her camera. “It's extremely wet out there, so Tim's come up and we're trying to evacuate all the kits. We went from sunny to pouring with rain within 10 minutes. Tim is heading down and I'm gonna follow.”
接下来的7天里，贾斯汀从黎明到黄昏，耐心地等待着红毛猩猩母子的到来。“我从早晨5点半一直等到现在，现在是下午3点，待在如此狭小的铝制茶盘上，时间可真漫长。”突然之间，雨林中下起了瓢泼大雨，贾斯汀和她的摄像机遭殃了。“这里现在都湿了，所以蒂姆爬了上来，我们要把设备都转移走。不到10分钟，晴天就变成了倾盆大雨。蒂姆开始下降，我也要跟着下去。”
A week into the shoot, without so much as a glimpse of an orangutan, Justine swaps the sit and wait approach to tracking them on foot. “I'm slightly dreading the prospect of dragging all our kits through this forest. Running around on the ground trying to follow and the orang is really tricky.” And this tropical jungle is infested with bugs and blood-sucking leeches. “I thought I felt something on my finger, earlier.” Orangutans have an intimate knowledge of where fruiting trees lie, the crew are relying more on guesswork.
拍摄进行了一周，但是仍然没有红毛猩猩出现，贾斯汀决定放弃等待，开始徒步追踪。“拖着所有的设备穿过这片森林让我有些担心，在地面上徒步寻找红毛猩猩非常艰难。”这片热带丛林充满了蚊虫和吸血的水蛭。“我说怎么刚才感觉我的手上有东西呢。”红毛猩猩非常熟悉果树的分布，而摄制组成员们主要凭猜测行动。
Finally one of the trackers radios are sighting. "I think they're still up there. This is the first opportunity I'm gonna get hopefully to see the orangutan and it's great that we've got a female with a young that's exactly what we're after.” But the family is moving too quickly through the canopy for the crew to keep up. “It's cat and mouse. I think this orangutan was trying to shake us off, personally.” After hours of searching through dense rainforest, Justine is finally rewarded with an intimate view.
最终，一名追踪人员报告发现了红毛猩猩。“我觉得它们还在上面。这是我第一次有望看到红毛猩猩，很高兴我们发现了一只雌性和一只小红毛猩猩，这正是我们所希望的情况。”但红毛猩猩母子在树冠上移动得很快，摄制组成员很难跟得上它们。“这就像猫鼠游戏，我觉得这只红毛猩猩想甩掉我们。”在茂密的雨林中经过几小时的搜寻之后，贾斯汀最终近距离地看到了它们。
“There she is. Well, that's the first time I've seen her. It's the female orangutan. She's just come into a little clear spot. They have led us, after a few hours of going through quite thick vegetation, to a very high fig tree. It is absolutely chocka with fruits.” Over the next 10 days, trudging more than 70 miles, Justine was able to revisit the young family and capture their tender moments together.
“看到它了，这是我第一次看到它。这是雌性红毛猩猩，它爬到的位置刚好留有拍摄空隙。在茂密的植被中穿梭了几个小时之后，它把我们带到一棵非常高的榕树面前，树上结满了果实。”接下来的10天理，贾斯汀跨越了超过110公里，最终又见到了这个年轻的家庭，并捕捉到了它们在一起的温馨画面。
“When you film any of the great apes, you feel that connection. It's unmistakable. The emotions that you see running through them is so relatable. I've come away feeling obviously very rewarded by the experience but tinged with a sadness, because of the bigger picture in Borneo.” As long as areas like Danum Valley are protected, orangutans stand a chance, and all the species that call Borneo home, will be kept safe for the future of us all.
“在对任何灵长类动物进行拍摄时，你都能感受到某种联系，那种感觉非常明显。它们流露出的情感和我们非常相似。这次经历让我感觉很有收获，同时又带给我一丝悲伤，因为加里曼丹岛的整体情况不容乐观。”只要像丹浓谷这样的地方受到保护，红毛猩猩就还有机会。所有栖息在加里曼丹岛的物种，在未来也将拥有安全保障。
After humid jungle, coastal desert in the South West of Africa offered a very different set of challenges. Filming over a period of a year, the Eden team braved the hostile conditions of the Namib desert. They came here to capture ground-breaking behaviours, from the small and rare, the plentiful but wary and the largest mammal on Earth. The team's greatest challenge was to tell the intimate story of how a family of desert elephants find sustenance in an unforgiving landscape.
离开潮湿的丛林，非洲西南部的沿海荒漠，给我们带来了一系列不同的挑战。在长达一年的拍摄中，《伊甸园》摄制组勇敢地面对着纳米布沙漠中的恶劣环境。他们来到这里旨在拍摄到一些不可思议的动物行为，从小型的稀有动物，到数量众多但高度警惕的动物，以及陆地上体型最大的哺乳动物。摄制组面临的最大挑战，是近距离地为我们展示一个非洲象家族，如何在极其恶劣的环境中寻找食物。
With only 150 inhabiting an area of 80,000 square kilometres, the first job is working out where to look. So the crew team up with a Wildlife field guide Paul Brehem, who's been living and working in the Namib desert for over 30 years. “There's a huge amount of pressure on these animals to get enough food, to get enough water in this area, so the pressure's on them.” Their search takes them through one of Africa's remotest regions across the roughest of terrains.
近8万平方公里的地区，只生活着150只非洲草原象。首先，他们需要知道去哪里寻找，所以摄制组将和保罗·布雷姆一起寻找，他作为野生动物野外向导，30多年来一直在纳米布生活和工作。“在这个地区，这些非洲草原象很难找到足够的食物和水源，它们承受着巨大的压力。”他们在搜寻中需要穿越一个非洲最为偏远的地区，这里的地形非常崎岖。
But cameraman Louis labrom has come equipped with a specialist camera system that's designed for just this sort of task. “This is a gyro stabilised gimbal, more commonly found on helicopters, but in this instance we're using it on a vehicle with this arm that sort of, will take out most of the bumps. It's basically spring loaded. This really allows us to get some really intimate shots that otherwise we might miss.”
好在摄影师路易·拉博姆装备了一种专为此类任务设计的独特摄影系统。“这是陀螺稳定万向节，通常被用在直升飞机上，不过这次我们把它用到了一辆车上。这个悬臂可以吸收大部分的颠簸，里面装有弹簧。他能帮助我们拍到一些很难被拍到的近距离镜头。”
As Paul's team guides them to the most likely area to find elephants, a dried river bed. A desert miracle unfolds. “There's a river in the desert. It is really weird to hear the sound of running water in the desert. This is absolutely amazing.” Then the last thing you'd expect to happen in a desert, getting stuck in the mud! “We under anticipated how deep this little patch was and we need to dig ourselves out in the back in order to reverse out.”
保罗的团队带领摄制组进入了最有可能找到大象的区域，一片干涸的河床，一个沙漠奇观呈现在眼前。“这是一条沙漠河流。在沙漠中听到流水声，真感觉很奇异，太不合思议了。”在沙漠中你最不希望遇到的情况就是，陷入泥潭中。“我们低估了这一小片泥沼的深度，我们得先把后车轮弄出来，然后才能倒出去。”
As the water levels rise, Louis' particularly concerned about his precious camera. At last their luck changes. Fortunately, the appearance of water has brought an elephant herd right to the film crew. “Just a really lovely moment and it's really nice to see elephants actually having life a little bit easier. Yeah it looks really happy.” But in a matter of days the river dries out, for desert elephants, the quest for food and water is endless, sometimes leading these intelligent mammals to cash in on more reliable sources.
随着水位的升高，路易非常担心他的宝贵摄像机。他们终于成功了。而幸运的是，河水也把象群引到了摄制组面前。“真是很美好的时刻，很高兴看到现在的象群生活会轻松一些。是的，它看起来很开心。”但是几天之后，河水就会干涸，对非洲草原象来说，寻找食物和水源是无尽的征程，有时候甚至能将这些聪明的哺乳动物引向更可靠的来源地。
With increased human settlement and farming, more and more bore holes are being sunk to tap into the Namib's groundwater reserves. Drawing these thirsty giants into villages. At times, this can cause conflict. Efforts are underway to promote tolerance and learn how best to live alongside such an imposing neighbour. “Educating school children, you are investing in the future. When children are not having a lot of fear, they are very easy to live with elephants and they'll take care of them.”
随着人类定居点的增加和耕地的发展，人们打出了越来越多的井眼，以利用纳米布的地下水。这些口渴的巨兽们被吸引进入村庄。有时，这会引发冲突。人们正在努力提高包容度，并学习如何与这些体形庞大的邻居相处。“教育学龄儿童就是在投资未来，当孩子们不再害怕大象时，他们就会接受与大象为邻，他们还会照顾大象。”
Fortunately, the herd that resides in the riverbed has knowledge, passed from generation to generation, that allows them to make the most of what this desert has to offer. And they lead the crew to a grove of Ana trees, laden with protein rich pods. A welcome meal for even the youngest members of the herd.
好在河边逗留的象群得益于世代传承下来的知识，能够充分利用沙漠所能提供的宝贵资源。它们带着摄制组来到一片白相思树旁，树上长满了富含蛋白质的果荚，这对象群最小的成员来说都是可喜的一餐。
After 4 weeks of tireless tracking, Louis finally gets the shots he needs. “It was amazing to see someone so little be able to survive in what seems like a really inhospitable place. It's really testament to their mother because obviously the matriarchs know where the water is and where the food is. So without them, they would all pretty much just perish.”
经过4周不知疲倦的追踪，路易最终拍到了他想要的镜头。“看到这么小的非洲草原象，能在如此恶劣的环境中生存下来，非常令人震惊。这无疑是对它们母亲能力的证明，因为显然母象首领知道哪里有水，知道哪里有食物。如果没有它们，象群就无法生存下来。”
This miracle Eden has existed in harmony for millions of years. Today, with fewer than 150 of these highly-specialized desert elephants living in the Namib, it's critical that this place is kept safe from both human expansion and the rigours of climate change. “The key is to protect the whole ecosystem for all the species that exist here and I think what's really important is to start seeing places like these as a world heritage for the entire planet, to all the people and all the future generations, this is really important to protect.”
这片神奇的伊甸园和谐地存在了数百万年时间，如今，只剩下不足150只适应力极强的非洲草原象，生活在纳米布沙漠，所以确保这片区域免于人类扩张和气候变化的影响至关重要。“关键是要为生存在这里的所有物种，保护整个生态系统。我觉得我们有必要将这样的地方看作是整个地球的遗产，对所有人以及我们的子孙后代来说，保护它们非常重要。”
On the other side of Africa, Zambian flood plains are a very different habitat, but in their own way just as extreme. Filming critically endangered black rhino, presented the Eden crew with their biggest challenge yet. North Luangwa is home to Zambia's only black rhino population. Around 50 roam a wilderness of 22,000 square kilometres. To stand a chance of finding one, the crew team up with a North Luangwa Conservation programme. A long-term partnership of dedicated scientists and highly trained scouts.
在非洲的另一端，赞比亚的洪泛平原是一个完全不同的栖息地，这里展现了另一种极端环境，拍摄极其濒危的黑犀给《伊甸园》制作组带来了前所未有的挑战。北卢安瓜地区是赞比亚唯一的黑犀种群栖息地，大约50只黑犀生活在22000平方公里的荒野中，为了找到一只黑犀，摄制组将与北卢安瓜保护项目人员一起展开搜寻。这是一个由敬业的科学家和训练有素的巡护员组成的组织。
“The rhinos form a focus or a flagship for the much wider ecosystem and the rhinos scouts themselves are all recruited from the local communities.” For the last 35 years, they have put their lives on the line to combat armed poachers. And successfully established a safe haven for the last of Zambia's black rhino. And there's one rhino whose story the crew are particularly keen to tell. “Kango is very close to our hearts. He's named after a local chief. We released him here on the Mwaleshi in the heart of the North Luangwa and you see him today, he's mating, he's bred, he's got, I think, it's 5 females now in his area, he's in tiptop condition.”
“黑犀会形成一个更大的生态系统的核心。犀牛巡护员都是从当地的村镇中招募的。”过去的35年里，他们一直不顾危险与武装偷猎者进行战斗，并成功地为赞比亚最后的黑犀建立了一个庇护所。有一只黑犀的故事，是制作组成员尤其想要讲述的。“我们非常关心坎戈，它是以当地酋长的名字命名的。我们把它放到北卢安瓜腹地的姆瓦莱希，可以看到今天它在交配，它在繁殖。它的领地里现在有5只雌性，它正处在巅峰阶段。”
To track Kango, the crew work closely with a rhino monitoring unit. “We track the rhinos early in the morning, some have transmitters so that using the antenna, we know the direction and receiving coordinates from aeroplane.” With a positive sighting radioed in, the only way for the crew to proceed in this terrain is on foot. Carrying all 30 kilograms of camera gear. The team cover 16 kilometres a day, homing in on the signal from the transmitter that Kango carries on his horn.
为了锁定坎戈，摄制组使用犀牛检测装置进行密切追踪。“我们今天早晨追踪到了黑犀，一些黑犀身上佩戴着发射器，所以利用了天线监测，我们就能知道它们的方向，并从飞机上得到坐标。”。在确认发现黑犀之后，摄制组只能在这片区域徒步前进，并携带重量接近30千克的摄像设备。摄制组一天行进了16公里，搜寻着固定在坎戈犀牛角上的发射器发出的信号。
After a morning's trek, the scouts appear to be closing in on a small gathering of rhino. The crew moves in to set up for the first shot. Rhino pick up on movement, sound and also scent. “Had one warning snort and we’re settled, but they just um, one of them just charged, I think it was the female. So we've just had to run up a tree. Bit close.” “She heard us and she came right up to us and I foolishly moved so she charged and we all kind of disappeared in various directions.”
经过一个上午的跋涉，巡护员似乎靠近了一小群黑犀。摄制组成员开始为第一次拍摄准备起来。黑犀对周围的活动、声音和气味都很警觉。“我们都听到了警告性的低吼声。现在没事了。刚才有一只黑犀冲了过来，应该是一只雌性。于是，我们爬上了一棵树，真险。”“它听到了我们然后向我们冲了过来。我愚蠢地动了几下所以它冲了过来，于是我们开始四散奔逃。”
A sobering first encounter for the crew, but thanks to the experience scouts, they continue their search for Kango unharmed. Exposing them to the full force of the rainy season. “Basically, we're playing cat and mouse with these rhinos within this stick of vegetation. Now that it's raining, we're having to hide in the bush.” Ten days on, they finally close in on their feisty subject once more.
这是一次令人警醒的初次遭遇，不过好在有经验丰富的巡护员，他们继续寻找坎戈。而这也让他们感受到了雨季的威力。“我们就像和这些黑犀在茂密的植被中玩猫鼠游戏，现在下起了雨，我们要藏到树丛中。”十天之后，他们最终再一次靠近了他们的凶猛目标。
“ Now that Kango's become a dominant bull, he can be both extremely aggressive and extremely placid ,but therefore tracking him and working with him is pretty risky, because he can go either way depending upon the day.” But as Nathan finally gets ready to film, Kango gets a whiff of them and this time chooses to turn tail. Camera shy, he continues to run rings around the team. “I'm not in love with that rhino anymore. Kind of been up and all over the place today. Kind of been up and all over the place today. He's hiding there, laughing at us.”
“坎戈现在是占支配地位的雄性，它有时极具侵略性，有时候又非常温和。所以对它进行了追踪或拍摄伴有很大的风险，因为它的情绪很不稳定。”但当内森最终准备拍摄时，坎戈嗅到了他们的气味，这一次它选择了逃跑。因为害怕被拍摄，它继续和摄制组兜圈子。“我不再爱那只黑犀了。今天一直在跟着它乱跑，就像是公园里散步一样毫无收获。它藏到了那边，并开始嘲笑我们。”
With time fast running out, the team resorts to a more hands off approach to filming. The drone camera captures a unique perspective of Kango, who appears oblivious to its presence. Helping the team keep an eye on him. But Kango can travel nearly 30 kilometres a day, making it impossible for Nathan to keep up. A week later the plane reports a more hopeful development. “Well, he's not far away, I've got a signal already. One, his head, then the other one's pointing the other way, there's one and there's two. I think Kango is on a date and that's why they haven't moved far, they've been dating.”
随着时间的流逝，摄制组采取了不干涉的拍摄方式。无人机摄像机从独特的视角拍到了坎戈，它似乎对无人机并不在意，这正好帮助了摄制组保持了追踪。但是坎戈每天能够行走超过30公里，这让内森很难跟上它。一周之后，无人机报告了更多可喜的进展。“它没有远离，我收到了信号，发现它了。那个是它的头，另一个头朝向另一边，还有一只，有两只黑犀。我想坎戈正在约会，所以它们才没有远离，它们一直在约会。”
In the hope that Kango is now settled, the team move in for one last attempt. To be rewarded with a rarely filmed and surprisingly gentle courtship scene. “I mean, we got ready close to them, to start about 40 feet away. Just seeing them lying down, it's quite hard to see but I mean the first sighting, you know to think you're just standing next to wild black rhino.” Kango's future looks secure, thanks to the tireless efforts of the North Luangwa Conservation Programme.
摄制组希望坎戈现在能平静下来，他们准备进行最后一次尝试，结果获得了一段很少被拍到的极其温驯的求爱画面。“真是不可思议，我是说我们非常靠近它们，大约只有十米远，我刚刚看到它们躺下来，这是很少被观察到的。不过第一次看到它们，就和它们距离如此之近。”得益于卢安瓜保护项目的不懈努力，坎戈的未来达到了些许保障。
On the other side of the world, 1000 kilometres of the Coast of South America lies the Galapagos Archipelago. Here, the Eden team were presented with the task of filming in one of the most isolated and inaccessible locations on the planet. With the help of the latest camera technologies, the crew captured previously unseen behaviours and found new ways to tell the extraordinary stories of the islands' remarkable inhabitants. Many of whom have no fear of humans.“The sea lines are all over us, tugging on my fins. The stories about Galapagos wildlife being exceptionally tame are certainly true.”
而世界的另一端，在距离南美洲海岸近一千公里的近海上，坐落着加拉帕戈斯群岛。在这里《伊甸园》摄制组的任务是，拍摄地球上最偏远和最难抵达的地点之一。借助最先进的摄影技术，摄制组捕捉到了前所未见的行为，并找到了讲述这些非凡岛屿居民，生活故事的新方式。其中的许多动物都不害怕人类。“海狮就在我们周围，撕咬着我的脚蹼，加拉帕戈斯群岛野生动物非常温顺的传说是真实的。”
But the team were about to face a much bigger challenge! COVID-19. Everything closed down. No one was allowed in or out of the islands. 6 months later, when the crew are allowed to return, travel protocols are a little more “invasive”. With test results giving them the all-clear, they've got a lot of lost time to make up. Heading to the exposed coast of Fernandina Island, they've saved one of their toughest shoots till last. A journey only the largest male iguanas dare to make.
但是摄制组即将面对一个更大的挑战，新冠肺炎疫情，一切都被关闭了，没有人可以进入，或者离开这些岛屿。6个月后，当摄制组被允许返回时，旅行规章变得更加苛刻。检测结果显示大家都安全。他们需要弥补很多失去的时间，前往费尔南迪纳岛裸露的海岸，他们把最艰难的一组镜头留到了最后，这是一场体形最大的雄性海鬣蜥才敢踏上的旅程。
“The dream shot we want is an iguana in a roller, similar to the classic kind of surfer shot that you might see.That involves the underwater team basically going into a washing machine. We're in a pretty remote location, so if we would get washed offshore then we would be facing high chances of getting lost.” Safety is paramount and the South American dive team are well versed in the challenges of the pounding Pacific surf.
“我们想拍到的镜头，是一只海鬣蜥被波浪托起，就像你看到的经典的冲浪者镜头一样。这需要水下团队，仿佛进入一台洗衣机里一样。这里非常偏远，如果我们被冲离了海岸，我们就有可能在大海中迷失。”安全至关重要，南美洲潜水队非常擅长应对猛烈的太平洋海浪。
“Our tactics are based on being as close to the waves as we can, so we're gonna go very light and with fins just to kick around the waves and try not to get dragged.” With tons of water breaking over them every few seconds, even with their extensive experience, they struggle to film. “Each big wave made everything turn white. I was trying to hold shots, but at the same time, you're kind of looking around to see where you are. You end up fighting all the water movement. We were bracing ourselves with our feet, with our hands and just leaving one hand to hold the camera. It's a bit nerve-racking, so it wasn't ideal.”
“我们的策略是尽可能靠近海浪，这样我们就能够轻装上阵，穿戴脚蹼拍击波浪，尽量避免被水流卷走。”因为每几秒钟都会有几吨重的海水拍向他们，即使有着丰富的经验，他们也很难完成拍摄任务。“每个巨浪都会让眼前一片模糊，我本想手持摄像机拍摄，可与此同时，我还需要看清所处的位置，结果我只顾得上对抗水流了。我们只能用脚，还有手保持平衡，只留出一只手抓摄像机，情况紧张极了，并不是理想的拍摄时机。”
The team need to rethink their plan. “It's just finding the balance and the right spots where we can see this happening without us ending dragged on the shore by these big waves.” With their limited filming days running out, the crew scour iguana feeding haunts along the jagged coastline. They need to find the perfect spot with deep enough water to protect them from the breaking waves above. “We finally came across this place that, it's sheltered it for us, but the waves are still huge and breaking over us, so yeah hopefully we can manage to get the most out of this.”
摄制组只能另做打算，“关键是保持好平衡，并找到恰当的位置，好让我们看清周围的情况。而又不会被巨大的波浪带到岸上。”拍摄期限逐渐临近，摄制组沿着参差不齐的海岸线，寻找着海鬣蜥进食的场景。他们需要找到完美的地点，水要足够深才能保护他们避免被水面的碎波伤及。“我们最终找到了这个地方，这里能为我们提供庇护，但是波浪仍然很大，并不断从我们的上方打来。但愿我们能够充分利用这一环境。”
Santi and Javier prepare to make one of their very last dives. Sheltered by a reef edge, the team finally stand a chance of capturing the shots they came here for. “It's been amazing. It's just so beautiful and so much going on. The big waves come in and there's so much water being moved around. Some iguanas get torn out of their feeling place and they just come out of nowhere, in every direction. And you see them like upside down or trying to brace themself against things. It cost me a fin, a boot, but it's totally worth it getting to film stuff that nobody has seen.”
桑蒂和哈维尔，准备进行最后一次下潜，在一个礁缘的庇护下，摄制组最终得到了一次捕捉他们理想镜头的机会。“非常不可思议，是的，太美了，许多精彩的画面。巨浪拍打过来，周围水流涌动，一些海鬣蜥被冲出了进食地。它们无法控制自己，被冲得四散各处。可以看到它们在水中翻卷着，想努力地抓住周围的东西。这让我损失了一只脚蹼，一只靴子，不过能拍到没人见到过的镜头，一切都是值得的。”
“It's nerve-racking, but at the same time, it's been a really fulfilling experience. Actually getting to see them struggling in and out, it's really humbling to see what the iguanas have to go through.” These ground-breaking images illustrate the remarkable adaptability and endurance of Galapagos creatures in their efforts to make these far-flung islands home.
“这让人很紧张，但与此同时，也是一次非常令人愉快的经历。看到海鬣蜥在海水中的顽强挣扎，看到它们所经历的磨难，让我感到了人类的渺小。”这些开创性的影像，展示了加拉帕戈斯群岛上的动物，为了在这些偏远的岛屿上生存，所拥有的非凡适应力和忍耐力。
In southeast Alaska, where the coastal mountains meet the pacific lies the Alexander archipelago, a remote island chain, running for almost 500 kilometres along the Alaskan panhandle. The Eden team spent a year braving the freezing conditions in one of the most remote and pristine wildernesses left in North America. With new technologies, they were able to reveal the hidden lives of its exceptional wildlife. From the minuscule to its mighty megafauna. But the team's biggest challenge was to capture the intimate story of bear families on the quest to find food along Alaska's coastline.
在阿拉斯加的东南部，沿海山脉和太平洋的交接处，坐落着亚历山大群岛。这条偏远的岛链，沿着阿拉斯加狭地绵延近500公里，《伊甸园》摄制组来到北美洲最偏远、最原始的荒野中。在冰天雪地里，耗时一年进行拍摄。借助新技术，他们最终得以发现，这里独特野生动物的秘密生活，既有极其微小的动物，也有体形巨大的动物。而摄制组最大的挑战是，近距离地拍摄到棕熊一家在阿拉斯加海岸上寻找食物的场景。
In spring, camera operator Luke Barnett, set sail for Admiralty Island in the Alexander archipelago, accompanied by bear expert Bjorn Dihle and their timing is impeccable. “Just arrived our filming location, and there's a mother with 2 cubs on the beach. Bjorn recognised her, she's 26 years old. It's so amazing to see them. Day One!” In this remote wilderness, the crew will have to be entirely self-sufficient. Setting up camp in bear country, rule number one is to cache any food high up in a tree away from sensitive noses, and erect an electric fence to deter any surprise visitors.
在春天，摄影师卢克·巴奈特准备前往亚历山大群岛的阿德默勒尔蒂岛，熊类专家比约恩·迪勒随行前往。他们选择的时间非常完美。“刚抵达我们的拍摄地，就发现海滩上有一头雌性棕熊带着两只幼崽。比约恩认出了它，这头雌性棕熊26岁了，在第一天就看到它们，真不可思议。”在这片偏远的荒野中，摄制组需要完全自给自足。在熊的国度搭建好营地之后，他们首先要做的就是把所有食物藏到嗅觉灵敏的熊难以触及的树冠上，并拉起电篱笆，以阻止任何不速之客的靠近。
“So right now it's on and it emits a small jolt every second. It's really not that bad. That was more just me being a wimp than anything else, but it scares the heck out of bears.” The team heads for the coastal meadows where mothers with cubs gather to feed each spring. “Bjorn's normally the strong silent type and he's talking a lot on this trip and that's just so we don't surprise any bears who think another bear's come around the corner and they charge us.”
“电篱笆设置好了，它每秒都会释放一次微弱电流，所以并没有那么厉害，只是说我比较胆小而已。不过这的确能吓跑棕熊。”摄制组前往了海岸草地，雌性棕熊和幼崽每年春天都会聚集到这里觅食。“比约恩平时坚毅而沉默，但这次他在路上不停地说话，这是为了避免行进时让棕熊误会，以为转弯过来的也是熊，就发动攻击。”
It quickly becomes clear that this is far from a peaceful scene. “One thing I have noticed about the bears is they spend a lot of their time looking quite anxious and they're always looking about for other bears, especially the females, and the males are always looking to antagonise other males.” Newly emerged from hibernation, the 300 kilograms male grizzlies are ravenous, eager to mate and highly territorial.
我们很快就发现，一切并不像看起来那么平静。“我们注意到的一点是，棕熊在很多时候看起来都很焦虑，它们总是警惕着周围的熊，雌性棕熊尤其如此，雄性则总是对其它雄性充满敌意。”因为刚刚结束冬眠，所以重达300多千克的雄性棕熊非常饥饿，也急于交配，所以领地意识很强。
“It's incredibly daunting. Having filmed predators all around the world, I've only have approached them in a vehicle before, so you've got that armour around you. This is the biggest land predator here and it can move at speeds of up to 35 miles an hour. The only thing I have to stop them essentially is some kind of bear spray. They're quite scary at times.” Respecting bears, and learning to read their behaviour can avoid conflict.
“非常可怕。我在世界各地拍摄过猎食动物，不过那都是坐在车里靠近它们，毕竟有车壳铁甲的保护。棕熊是这里体形最大的猎食动物，它们能以每小时超过55公里的速度冲锋。而我能用来阻止它们的东西，只有防熊喷雾剂，这些棕熊有时候非常可怕。”尊重棕熊，并学习解读它们的行为，可以避免冲突的发生。
“Now we got a big male bear, about 30 meters away from us. It's kinda looking at anything that moves as a potential competitor, as a potential mate.” Bjorn tells Luke to face the bear, stand his ground. And talks to it calmly. “If he keeps us here, we're gonna have some issues. I've never had an adult male do this.” After a tent standoff, the male grizzly finally moves away.
“我们发现了一头巨大的雄性棕熊，就在大约30米外，她会把任何移动的物体看成是可能的竞争者，或是可能的交配对象。”比约恩告诉卢克要面向棕熊，坚守阵地，和它平静地交谈。“如果它不离开，我们就会有麻烦。我从未和成年雄性棕熊这样打过交道。”经过紧张的对峙，雄性棕熊终于离开了。
Over the next few weeks, the team's perseverance is rewarded with intimate encounters from a young mother with cubs. “So these bears are getting pretty close now, which is a great sign for the filming, but the mother's probably due to come into season any moment now and that'll bring the males in, so everything could change. And those cubs could be in for a little bit of a shock.”
接下来的几周里，摄制组的坚持有所回报，近距离拍摄到了年轻的熊妈妈和幼崽。“棕熊距离我们越来越近了，这是一个拍摄的好机会。但是雌性棕熊随时可能进入发情期，那会把雄性棕熊吸引过来，所以情况随时可能改变，这些幼崽可能会受到一些惊吓。”
It doesn't take long for Luke's concerns to become a reality. A huge and scarred male grizzly approaches. “This big bear has got a big cut on its head, it's been fighting, potentially very angry bear. Everything's fine when I looks through the viewfinder, so I'll just carry on doing that for a little bit, I think.” While still on the lookout for amorous males, mum takes the cubs to the beach for a day of clamming.
很快卢克的担心就变成了现实，一头庞大可怕的雄性棕熊靠近了。“这个大块头的头部有一道大伤口，可能和其他发怒的棕熊打过架。通过取景器来看一切正常，所以我想继续拍摄一会儿。”雌性棕熊仍在观望示好的雄性棕熊，并把幼崽逮到了海滩上寻找蛤蜊。
“That was pretty intense. The mother and cubs came down and they were so close and they started huffing a little bit. I can't tell how far away she is from the viewfinder, but I knew when I took the lens as wide as it would go and there was still a very big bear in frame, she was pretty close.” While a protective mother with cubs can pose a threat, as time passes, the team gain her trust. “We've been watching this female for the last 8 days and I've known her for 12 years and we don't approach her, we let her kinda do what she wants to do.”
“现在的情况非常紧张，雌熊和幼崽过来了，它们和我的距离非常近，它们好像有点生气。我很难从取景器里判断它的距离，但我把镜头调到最宽时，画面上的棕熊依旧很巨大，说明它离得相当近。”护崽心切的雌性棕熊会对摄制组构成威胁，而随着时间的推移，摄制组逐渐赢得了它的信任。“过去8天，我们一直在观察这只雌性棕熊，我认识它已经有12年了，我们没有靠近它，只是让它自由自在地活动。”
But it may take Luke a little longer to be completely at ease. “We had to hold our position, but it was a little bit nerve-wracking. It was great to have Bjorn with me, because he was talking to the bears, just telling them what we were doing and half the time I thought he was talking to me, telling me to calm down, but I think he was genuinely talking to the bears then they chilled out completely and got the mother digging out a clam in full frame, and the cubs have learned that behaviour as well, so that was amazing to see.”
但是卢克经过了更长的一段时间才完全放松下来。“我们必须坚守岗位，不过这确实让人很紧张，很高兴比约恩和我一起。因为他一直在对棕熊说话，告诉它们我们在做什么，有一半时间我都以为他在跟我说话， 想让我放松下来，不过现在看来他是在跟棕熊说话，然后棕熊就放松了下来。结果拍到了熊妈妈挖蛤蜊，幼崽跟着妈妈学习这种行为的镜头，所以非常不可思议。”
The grizzly bears fearsome reputation has contributed to their persecution. “In South East Alaska, there's about 2000 brown bears get shot by sports hunters every year and it's like less than one person will die from a brown bear every year.” While Luke maintains a healthy respect for these formidable predators, he has also experienced a gentler side. “This place is pretty special. It's a real sanctuary for the bears, and it's really lovely to be able to come somewhere where they're not hunted and they just go about their lives when we get to see them do that and that's gonna stick with me.”
棕熊可怕的名声，也给它们带来了困扰。“在阿拉斯加的东南部，每年都有约2000头棕熊被参加狩猎活动的人射杀，而每年被棕熊杀死的人类平均到不了一人。”尽管卢克对这些可怕的猎食者包有些许敬畏，但他依旧见证了棕熊柔情的一面。“这个地方非常特别，是棕熊的完美庇护所。很高兴能够来到一个棕熊不会遭到猎杀的地方，它们可以自由地生活，我们则可以观察它们。我会一直拍下去。”
At the tip of South America, spanning Chile and Argentina, lies a remote and frozen domain. It's known as Patagonia. Filming for more than a year, the Eden team braved some of the toughest conditions of any of their locations. Employing the latest filming technology, the crew set out to capture ground-breaking new behaviours from its coasts and pristine lowland forests, up to the high peaks of the Andes, in search of its rarest wildlife, with closer encounters than they had bargained for.
在南美洲的南端，一片偏远而寒冷的荒原，横跨智利和阿根廷，这里就是巴塔哥尼亚地区。在超过一年的拍摄中，《伊甸园》摄制组遭遇了在所有拍摄地中最为严酷的天气环境。借助最先进的拍摄技术，摄制组启程捕捉以往未被记录的动物新行为。从巴塔哥尼亚的海岸，原始的低地森林，到安第斯山脉之巅，只为探寻这里最稀有的野生动物。并和这些动物，发生了出乎意料的近距离接触。
But the greatest challenge was to tell the story of flamingo chick's epic struggle to fledge in some of the most testing conditions on Earth. Camera operator, Tom Ross and team, venture into the vast and unforgiving Atacama desert. “It's freezing cold at night, it's boiling in the midday, it's basically like working on a knife edge.” Timing their arrival to coincide with the peak of the flamingo nesting season. Only to be confronted with devastating news. “As you can tell, all around me, there are thousands of empty nests.”
然而最大的挑战就是讲述在地球上极为严酷的环境中，火烈鸟雏鸟经历的艰难起飞过程。摄影师汤姆·罗斯和摄制组，冒险来到了广袤而严酷的阿塔卡马沙漠。“这里的夜晚异常寒冷，而中午又非常炎热，所以在这里拍摄极其艰难。”他们需要在火烈鸟筑巢的高峰期赶到这里，结果却听到了最具毁灭性的消息。“可以看到，在我的周围有成千上万的空巢。”
This year, the adult flamingos have abandoned their newly laid eggs. “The Rangers believe that this could be due to the climate. It's been a lot hotter and a lot dryer this year. Last year there was 500 born and this year there's none. To realise and see that first-person it's quite hard hitting.” The team head higher, into the heart of the Atacama desert. In the hope that the flamingos are still breeding in the cooler conditions up here.
今年，成年火烈鸟放弃了它们刚刚产下的卵。“巡护员认为这可能和气候有关，今年比往年炎热干燥很多。去年，这里有500只火烈鸟出生，今年却一只都没有。亲眼看到这种场景时会非常震惊。”摄制组准备继续向高处进发，并来到了阿塔卡马沙漠的腹地，希望火烈鸟仍会选择在这里较为凉爽的高海拔地带繁殖。
But recent flooding has created waterlogged plains, making their passage near impossible. “Our rescue car is now also stuck in the mud, so I'm gonna have to rescue the rescue car!” Being so remote, there's no other help on hand so there's little choice but to wait until the plains dry out. 3 days later. Back on the road. The team finally reach one of the highest and most remote salt flats in Atacama. Their reward, a healthy colony of newly hatched flamingo chicks.
然而最近的洪水让平原上到处都是积水，这使得摄制组几乎难以进行。“我们的救援车辆现在也陷入了泥沼中，所以我要去营救救援车辆。”如此偏远的地方很难找到帮手，所以他们别无选择，只能等待平原变干。3天之后，车队又能上路了。摄制组最终到来了阿塔卡玛沙漠海拔最高和最偏远的盐滩。他们也得到了回报，那就是一群刚刚孵化出的健康的火烈鸟雏鸟。
“They're just little bundles of joy to watch. Their gangly legs, the little giblet wings. They run like a kid with a cape, around the school playground, trying to fly like Superman.” Tom can now settle in for a month of hide work, charting their early development. But the extreme conditions that come with working in this high altitude desert begin to take their toll. “Going through nearly knee-deep mud, it's an absolute mission. The lack of oxygen is really hard to deal with. Some people like myself get headaches. I mean everything you do is exhausting.”
“看到它们令人感到无比欢乐，它们纤细的双腿，小小的翅膀，它们就像是披着斗篷的孩子，在学校操场上跑来跑去，渴望像超人一样飞起来。”汤姆现在可以安顿下来，开始一个月的隐蔽拍摄，并记录雏鸟的早期发育情况了。然而在海拔如此高的沙漠中工作，极端的环境让他们陷入了困境。“在接近膝盖深的泥沼中行走绝非易事，是的，缺氧的情况尤其难以应对。包括我在内的一些人出现了头痛，我是说无论做点什么都会让你疲惫不堪。”
To capture the chicks' full story, the crew returns 2 months later to face even more extreme conditions. By early winter, the chicks must cope with temperatures that drop to sub-zero.“Not only were they penned in from the night before, they also have these shackles of ice and salt which weigh them down. They've only just started to fledge and they can't fly because they're full of ice. It's just crazy.”
为了捕捉到雏鸟的完整故事，摄制组两个月之后再次回到这里，结果遇到了更加极端的天气。初冬时节，这些雏鸟必须应付会降到零度以下的气温。“它们不仅要忍受寒冷的夜晚，冰和盐粒还像脚镣一样，成为它们沉重的负担。它们的羽翼刚刚丰满，它们还不能飞行，因为身上都是冰。太疯狂了。”
After over 3 months of sharing their company, witnessing all they have endured, Tom has formed a deep attachment to the chicks. “I think one of the hardest things for filming wildlife is, it's not the braving the element, it's more of a mental and emotional rollercoster, especially when you film something that's so young and you see them perish one by one, they have absolutely everything thrown at them, absolutely everything, It's just true to how hard these flamingos are, because it's absolutely savage up here.”
经过3个月的朝夕相处，并见证了雏鸟经历的所有磨难之后，汤姆深深地爱上了它们。“我觉得拍摄野生动物时最艰难的，不是要面对怎样的环境，而是你的精神和情绪会经历过山车一样的变化。尤其是在拍摄一些如此幼小的动物时，你看着它们一个个地死去。它们会遭受到各种各样的磨难，这些火烈鸟的确异常顽强，因为这里的环境太残酷了。”
Though the hardship of their early lives are sometimes emotional for the crew, the safety offered by this extreme habitat means flamingos in Patagonia will continue to flourish. On this fragile planet, home to nearly 8 billion people, the threat to remaining wilderness grows ever greater. But, if we take steps to keep our world safe, enriched by natural wonders. Its exquisite symmetry. Kept in balance by infinite, intricate relationships. These last frontiers will remain. Forever Eden.
虽然火烈鸟早期经历的艰难，有时会让摄制组为之动容，然而这个极端的栖息地提供的庇护，却也让巴塔哥尼亚的火烈鸟得以繁衍生息。在这颗居住着近80亿人的脆弱行星上，剩余的荒野正在遭受越来越大的威胁。然而如果我们能采取措施，保护我们这个充满自然奇观的世界。它精致的对称美，就能通过无线复杂的联系继续保持平衡，这些最后的边疆将会成为我们永远的伊甸园。
