Today, we have young women like this one teaching villages in Africa how to put their animals together into larger herds, plan their grazing to mimic nature,
今天，我們有像這樣的年輕女性在非洲的村莊里傳授技術(shù)，如何把他們的動(dòng)物集合成一大群，如何安排計(jì)劃達(dá)到模擬大自然的效果，
and where we have them hold their animals overnight -- we run them in a predator-friendly manner,
在哪里讓他們的動(dòng)物過(guò)夜——我們用一種對(duì)捕食者友好的方法，
because we have a lot of lands, and so on -- and where they do this and hold them overnight to prepare the crop fields,
因?yàn)槲覀冇泻芏嗤恋兀鼈冊(cè)谀睦锬M大自然，在哪里過(guò)夜，
we are getting very great increases in crop yield as well.
我們就在哪里準(zhǔn)備莊稼地，我們的莊稼收成也會(huì)很好。
Let's look at some results. This is land close to land that we manage in Zimbabwe.
看看這些結(jié)果。這塊地靠近我們?cè)诮虬筒柬f的土地。
It has just come through four months of very good rains it got that year, and it's going into the long dry season.
剛剛過(guò)了四個(gè)月的雨水充沛的季節(jié)，即將進(jìn)入漫長(zhǎng)的旱季。
But as you can see, all of that rain, almost of all it, has evaporated from the soil surface.
可是你們也會(huì)看到，幾乎所有的雨水，從土壤表面蒸發(fā)掉了。
Their river is dry despite the rain just having ended, ok?
盡管雨停了，河還是干的，
And we have 150,000 people on almost permanent food aid.
我們有15萬(wàn)人口幾乎長(zhǎng)期依靠食物援助。
Now let's go to our land nearby on the same day, with the same rainfall, and look at that.
看看同一天我們的土地，同樣的雨量，看吧。
Our river is flowing and healthy and clean. It's fine.
我們的河水流淌，健康而干凈。很好的。
The production of grass, shrubs, trees, wildlife, everything is now more productive,
草、灌木、樹木、野生動(dòng)物等的一切都很高產(chǎn)，
and we have virtually no fear of dry years.
我們一點(diǎn)都不怕干旱年頭。
And we did that by increasing the cattle and goats 400 percent,
這樣做是通過(guò)增加了400%的牛和羊，
planning the grazing to mimic nature and integrate them with all the elephants, buffalo, giraffe and other animals that we have.
有計(jì)劃的放牧，模擬大自然的過(guò)程，跟大象、水牛、長(zhǎng)頸鹿以及其它的動(dòng)物融合一體。
But before we began, our land looked like that.
但在我們開始前，我們的土地是這個(gè)樣子。
This site was bare and eroding for over 30 years regardless of what rain we got. Okay?
這塊地裸露和侵蝕了30多年，不管下多少雨。
Watch the marked tree and see the change as we use livestock to mimic nature.
看看這棵做了標(biāo)記的樹，看看我們用牲畜去模仿自然后的變化。
This was another site where it had been bare and eroding,
這是另一塊地，這里也曾裸露和侵蝕，
and at the base of the marked small tree, we had lost over 30 centimeters of soil.
在這棵做了標(biāo)記的小樹底下，我們流失了30厘米的土壤。
Okay? And again, watch the change just using livestock to mimic nature.
對(duì)吧？再看一下這個(gè)變化，只是使用牲畜去模仿自然。
And there are fallen trees in there now, because the better land is now attracting elephants, etc.
這里有些倒下的樹，因?yàn)橥恋刈兒酶笙蟆?/div>
This land in Mexico was in terrible condition,
在墨西哥的這塊土地情形很糟，
and I've had to mark the hill because the change is so profound.
我在這個(gè)小山上做了標(biāo)記，因?yàn)樽兓罅恕?/p>
