Translation

Do you hear that?
聞こえる？
That's the sound of the Okavango Delta.
それがオカバンゴデルタの音だ。
To properly protect a place, you have to understand it.
場所を正しく守るには、それを理解しなければならない。
That's why every year this team sets out on what is called a transect, a weeks-long expedition across the Okavango Delta.
だから毎年、このチームはトランセクトと呼ばれる、オカバンゴデルタを横断する数週間の遠征に出発するのだ。
I joined the team as they collected data on wildlife and water quality, tracking exactly how changes upriver are impacting life down here.
私はチームに同行し、野生動物と水質のデータを収集し、上流の変化がこの場所の生命にどのように影響しているかを正確に追跡した。
This ecosystem is deeply connected, right down to how the team works.
この生態系は、チームの働き方まで含めて、深くつながっている。
Scientists gather the data using cutting-edge tech, but they rely entirely on local experts whose indigenous knowledge guides them safely through the delta.
科学者たちは最先端の技術でデータを収集するが、デルタを安全に導いてくれる先住民の知識を持つ地元の専門家に完全に頼っている。
Together, they reveal the delta as one living, connected system.
彼らは一緒に、デルタを一つの生きたつながったシステムとして明らかにする。
I came away wondering how much of that connection we've lost elsewhere, what role storytelling plays in maintaining it, and what it might mean to find our way back to it.
私は帰る途中、他の場所ではそのつながりをどれだけ失ったのか、それを維持する上で物語がどんな役割を果たすのか、そしてそれに再び戻る道を見つけるとはどういうことなのかを考えていた。
