been seen as a pest to the region. So much  so they've been hunted to near extinction.  

被視為該地區的害蟲。以至於它們被獵殺得幾近滅絕。

But now conservationists are working towards  building the packs biodiversity and ultimately saving the species.   

但現在，保護主義者們正致力於建立族群的生物多樣性，並最終拯救這個物種。

This next film by  director Emily Cross is called Part of the Pack.

導演艾米麗-克洛斯的下一部電影叫《包袱的一部分》。

Make sure to stick around after the  credits to hear from the filmmaker herself.

在片尾一定要留下來聽聽電影人自己的聲音。

The African wild dog is listed as an  endangered species on the IUCN Red List.  

非洲野狗被列為世界自然保護聯盟紅色名錄的瀕危物種。

It's the most endangered carnivore in South Africa.  

這是南非最瀕危的食肉動物。

A large part of the problem is the history  and the perceptions that wild dogs carry.  

很大一部分問題是野狗所承載的歷史和觀念。

There's only 550 wild dogs  left in the whole country.

全國只剩下550只野狗了。

They live in family groups that are  cooperating their hunting strategy.  

他們生活在家庭群體中，正在合作他們的狩獵策略。

They help each other, they protect each other.

他們互相幫助，互相保護。

There's this level of social structure and energy  that really builds a pack and keeps the cohesion  

有這種程度的社會結構和能量，真正建立一個包，並保持凝聚力。

within them. The more time you start spending  with them, you start learning the different  

在他們身上。你和他們相處的時間越長，你就會開始學習不同的。

personalities within the pack. The different roles  and responsibilities that the pack members share.  

包內的個性。包內成員的不同作用和責任；

That kind of emotional intelligence is  something that really draws me to them.

這種情商是他們真正吸引我的地方。

The wild dog are the great hunters and they have a nice  collaboration when they do their hunt, you get a  

野狗是偉大的獵人，他們有一個很好的合作，當他們做他們的狩獵，你得到一個

particular individual that is right by the prey.  And when that particular individual tires out,  

獵物身邊的特定個體。 而當那個特定的個體疲憊不堪時

he pulls off to the edge of the line and  the others come in so that they keep that  

他把車開到了隊伍的邊緣，其他人也進來了，這樣他們就能保持住這一點

persistent pace. And then the youngsters also  help the pack to hunt and have to feed the puppies  

堅持不懈的步伐。然後小傢伙們也會幫著狗群打獵，還得給小狗餵食

during the training season. Whatever they've  killed, they would eat something, swallow it,  

在訓練的季節裡。不管他們殺了什麼，他們都會吃點東西，吞下去。

they would run kilometers back to the  den and regurgitate for the puppies.

它們會跑上幾公里回到窩裡，為小狗反芻。

I think it's a very unique system, especially  in the African bush where they've got a million  

我認為這是一個非常獨特的系統，特別是在非洲叢林中，他們有一百萬個

other challenges, but they'll put their pack  members first. There's so many different  

其他挑戰，但他們會把他們的成員放在第一位。有這麼多不同的

threats and a real history of persecution to  the African wild dogs. They were seen as vermin,  

威脅和迫害非洲野狗的真實歷史。它們被視為害蟲。

people were receiving financial rewards  for killing wild dogs and South Africa.  

人因殺死野狗而獲得經濟獎勵，而南非。

Wild dog territory was completely reduced right across the country. So it kind of shows  

全國各地的野狗領地完全縮小了。所以這也說明

the kind of urgency we have  to conserve the species.

我們要保護這個物種的那種緊迫感。

The main problem would be human beings.  

主要的問題是人。

The snares are being put in a place that  you can't really get to patrol every day.  

蝸牛被放在了一個你無法真正每天去巡邏的地方。

And even outside the park, then it's like 15 to  20 snares in a kilometer radius. So whatsoever,  

而即使是在公園外面，那麼在一公里的半徑內，也有15到20個網咖的樣子。所以什麼都好說。

the animal is just running through without  anticipating anything. And all of a sudden this  

動物只是跑過 沒有預料到什麼。突然間

thing catches it, you actually most likely to lose  the entire pack f they go through a snared area.

的東西抓住它，你實際上最有可能失去整個包f他們去通過一個陷阱區。

We've had cases where a lot of dogs been snared,  and it's been removed from the pack and placed  

我們曾有過很多狗被抓的案例，它被從狗群中移出，並被放置在

in captivity for rehabilitation. And often that  wild dog does quite fine with getting rehabbed  

在人工飼養的情況下進行康復。而往往那隻野狗在得到康復訓練後，就會很好的做到

and then suddenly takes a turn  for the worse a few days later.  

然後在幾天後突然轉危為安。

And in post mortems, we find that the  severity of stress being away from the pack,  

而在屍檢中，我們發現，壓力的嚴重性是遠離包。

and even something that we  nicknamed broken heart syndrome,  

甚至有些東西，我們暱稱為破碎的心臟綜合症。

are things that wild dogs really do suffer from.  And without the pack, and without that cohesion,  

是野狗們真正的苦惱。 而沒有了群體，沒有了那種凝聚力。

it's a big struggle for them. They've existed  this long, because they live and die for their pack.

這對他們來說是一個很大的鬥爭。它們存在了這麼久，是因為它們為自己的族群而生，為自己的族群而死。

Wild dogs disperse to find new territories  and to start packs of their own.

野狗們分散開來尋找新的領地，並建立自己的族群。

It's an adaption that ensures genetic  variability. But the problem with this  

這是一種適應性，保證了遺傳變異性。但問題是

is that they are adapted to traveling very far  distances. This causes breakouts out of the park,

是他們適應了很遠的距離旅行。這就導致了突發事件的發生。

a dog running 20 kilometers  in a space of two hours,  

一隻狗在兩個小時內跑了20公里。

getting to understand how far they could  actually extend in search for partners.

越來越瞭解他們在尋找合作伙伴的過程中到底能延伸到什麼程度。

So often forestry communities,  commercial farm lands and highways,  

所以往往是林業小區、商業農田和高速公路。

and in doing that, they'll end  up often becoming roadkill too.

而在這樣做的過程中，他們最後往往也會成為路人甲。

And if they encounter communities, they  kind of find a way of actually avoiding it  

而如果遇到社區，他們就會想方設法的實際避開它

Should we just be saying: Let's open up  passages for them to actually move through,

我們是否應該只是說，讓我們為他們打開通道，讓他們真正地通過。

so that they can be able to find the chance to  live in some other places? Or if they do find  

好讓他們有機會到其他地方去生活？或者，如果他們真的找到了

a suitable land, then they would settle there.

一個合適的土地，那麼他們就會在那裡定居。

The two main objectives that we have  within conserving wild dogs in South Africa  

我們在保護南非野狗方面有兩個主要目標

and in southern Africa, in fact. Number one,  maintain what we have. And number two, restore  

事實上，在南部非洲也是如此。第一，維持我們所擁有的。第二，恢復

what we've lost. That in itself even includes  the genetic translocations between the reserves.  

我們已經失去了什麼。這本身甚至包括保護區之間的基因轉換。

Simply putting wild dogs in one reserve  and thinking we've done our job is not  

僅僅把野狗放在一個保護區裡，就認為我們的工作已經完成了，這是不對的。

the case. Once those pups are born within  that pack, and they start wanting to breed,  

的情況。一旦這些幼崽在這個族群中出生，它們就開始想要繁殖。

we have to ensure that they are breeding with  wild dogs that are far related from them.  

我們必須確保他們與那些與他們有遠親關係的野狗進行繁殖。

We want to increase the population  numbers, which includes the pack numbers  

我們要增加人口數量，其中包括族群數量。

and the individual numbers, and also increase the  genetic diversity within the wild dogs. The more

和個體數量，也增加了野狗內部的遺傳多樣性。愈

dogs fitted with tracking collars, the better  for the wild dog population of South Africa.  

裝有追蹤項圈的狗，對南非的野狗數量越多越好。

collars need to be under a certain weight  in order to be fitted onto a wild dog...

項圈需要在一定的重量下才能安裝在野狗身上... ...

programmed to log four points a day. This  gives us consistent data throughout  

程序設計為每天記錄四個點。這使我們在整個過程中獲得了一致的數據。

the time of the collar being on the animal.   Information on habitat utilization, population,  

頸圈在動物身上的時間。 棲息地利用、種群資訊。

demographics, poaching and snaring incidents,  as well as potential breakouts out of the park.

人口結構、偷獵和搶奪事件，以及潛在的突發事件出園。

We can then use that database within  the country to carry up the best dogs  

然後，我們可以利用這個數據庫在全國範圍內進行了最好的狗

and ensure that the best genetics are coming  through and increasing the genetic diversity.

並確保最優秀的基因通過，增加基因的多樣性。

Educating from grassroots level from the kids up,  

從基層從孩子開始教育。

and getting them to know about wild dogs and  grow a love and a passion for wild dogs.

並讓他們瞭解野狗，對野狗產生熱愛和熱情。

Educational, in a way, the community starts learning how

these animals aren't as dangerous as we thought they were.

這些動物並不像我們想象的那樣危險。

So just the fact that a wild dog has the ability  to choose a den and then ensure that the sick,  

所以，只是野狗有能力選擇窩點，然後保證病。

the injured and the young, are fed first and looked after, and that the fittest dogs will eat at the end,  

傷者和幼者，先餵養照顧，適者生存的狗會在最後吃。

for me says everything we need to  know about wild dogs. And in fact,  

對我來說，這說明了我們需要了解的關於野狗的一切。而事實上。

it's something that I think as humans,  we almost need to take a page out of their book.

我覺得作為人類，我們幾乎需要從他們的書中吸取教訓。

That pack formation teaches you something  and you hope you will see families live like that, 

那個包袱陣教給你一些東西，你希望你能看到家庭這樣的生活。

you would hope you would see communities coming  together. And surely, as we are putting efforts  

你會希望你會看到各社區團結起來。當然，由於我們正在努力

into conserving the species, if we get community  buy ins and local farmers buying in, it will  

如果我們得到社區的購買和當地農民的購買，它將成為保護物種的一部分。

actually be formalizing a greater pack system that  we've actually observed from these creatures. And  

實際上，我們已經從這些生物身上觀察到了一個更大的群體系統。而且

in that extent, we'll be having at least  a combined society towards conservation.  

在這種程度上，我們將至少有一個聯合社會對保護。

When you change the mindset and the perceptions,

amazing experience and I actually won the Audience  Award from my pitch, which was such a huge surprise.

I've just applied to a really cool film grant called  the Durban FilmMart grant. And, and so holding thumbs that
