Attenborough at 99: naturalist ‘goes further than before’ to speak out against industrial fishing in new film | Oceans

WChicken David Attenburo The second blue planet The documentary It was broadcast eight years ago, its effect was so strong that it was attributed to it Creating a revolution In the way people are used plastic. Film makers now hope to be able to do the same for other destructive environmental practices that the world known in the world describes as “draining life from our oceans.”

Industrial Fishing method from the lower nets It is the axis of a large part of the last Attenborong movie, Ocean, which is broadcast in the cinemas from May 8, Nature’s birthday 99. It also condemns what he calls “modern colonialism in the sea”, where the huge hunting ships, which work on the coasts of fish that depend on fish and livelihood, are blamed for the domestic fishing.

Industrial hunting says “two -thirds of all large predators”. On Antarctica, fishing tits may be “removing the basis of an entire ecosystem.”

He says that sharks and turtles that survived the extinction of dinosaurs may not escape hundreds of thousands of industrial fishing vessels, which compete with marine life and coastal fishing societies in “every corner of the ocean.”

“He has gone far further,” said Keith Shuli, one of the director and co -founder of Silverback Films, who has worked with Attenborough for more than 40 years, in the face of such widespread hunting practices.

“He has reached a new place. He knows how much the audience trusts and how careful it is. He wants to make this change. So he has gone far further than before.

“It is very sure that this is an opportunity for the world.”

The most dramatic scenes of the movie include global shots showing lower ships, including Dreger Al -Asqal, off the southern coast of Britain and another in Türkiye. Clouds The sediments that are compatible with the carbon are skippedFish and other marine life jumping in vain to escape from the heavy beams that have shattered their path through the sea bed, and the destruction of everything on their way.

“The idea of ​​rainforest cavity causes anger, yet we do the same underwater every day,” says Attenburo. “You surely argue that it should be illegal.”

Atinburo I faced some criticism in the past Not to go away enough with his letters about the climate crisis. His response was that repeated warnings about the human destruction of the natural world It can be “turning off” As for the viewers and its role, the campaign was not, but rather the stories of wildlife “constipation and honest”.

Shuli says that the role of Attenburo as a partner, instead of the campaign, helped people understand the natural world.

“What David succeeded in doing is confidence by everyone, so that when he plays his card, it can affect things in a huge way.”

As he approached 100 years of this planet, Attenburo tells the viewers about the movie, two years in making, that it is the seas that covers more than 70 % of our planet and which should be the focus of our attention: “I now understand that the most important place on Earth is not on Earth but at sea.” “We are at a crossroads, with humanity draining life from the ocean.”

Shuli says that the task of the documentary is to shed light on the upcoming UN Ocean Conference in Nice, in June, when it is hoped to reach an ocean protection plan. In principle, member states have agreed to protect 30 % of the world’s oceans from destroyed hunting by 2030, As part of an agreement To stop the loss of biological diversity. Attenborough is that this goal needs more procedures.

Shuli compares the rise of industrial fishing with commercial whale hunting, both of which pushed the species “to the point of collapse.”

Amid the anti -protection protests in the 1970s and eighties, it was believed that the whale groups, which were caught on the edge of extinction, may never recover. However Now prosperous.

“Success is possible”, Attenburo is witnessing from the deck, where a blue whale swim alongside. “I have seen it on a global scale before.”

“There is an element of waking up, but it is in fact a story of hope and recovery,” says Toby Novlan, one of the three Ocean managers, who also produced.

The film displays inspiring stories to restore oceans in places where destructive fishing is banned, including outside the island of Aran, Scotland and Babahnomokokuka, the memorial, Hawaiian.

“The ocean can recover faster than we can imagine: it can return to life,” says Attenburo.

The ocean will be available on Hulu and Disney+ Later this year
