地球大堡礁
过去三十年间,全球损失了差不多三分之一珊瑚礁。超过十亿人依赖珊瑚礁提供食物;数十万人全靠珊瑚礁维持生计,因此,复育珊瑚礁成为科学家关心的课题。
本节目第二集,以精心拍摄的珍贵影像,详述珊瑚面临的生存挑战,包括健康恶化,繁殖因难,面对天敌等等,当然个中因由少不了气候变化的影响。引入科技协助珊瑚繁殖,澳洲大堡礁的复育经验,也许可以惠及世上其他珊瑚国度。
Over the past 30 years, the world has lost nearly one-third of its coral reefs.More than one billion people depand on reefs for food and hunderds of thousands of people depend on them for their livelihoods.
From the most recently developed killer robots to shellfish farming, ultra-modern tactics are now proving their worth in the Great Barrier Reef to ensure the survival of this natural wonder that is the coral world and to make it possible to export this know-how to many of the world’s reefs.
