1
Part 4 You will hear a zoology student giving a presentation on the process of moving wild elephants to a new reserve,
2
known as translocation.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
5
For my presentation today, I want to tell you about how groups of elephants have been moved and settled in new reserves.
6
This is known as translocation.
7
and has been carried out in Malawi in Africa in recent years.
8
The reason this is being done is because of overpopulation of elephants in some areas.
9
Overpopulation is a good problem to have, and not one we tend to hear about very often.
10
In Malawi's Majeti National Park, the elephant population had been wiped out by poachers who killed the elephants for their ivory.
11
But in 2003, the park was restocked and effective law enforcement was introduced.
12
Since then, not a single elephant has been poached.
13
In this safe environment, the elephant population boomed.
14
Breeding went so well that there were more elephants than the park could support.
15
This led to a number of problems.
16
Firstly, there was more competition for food, which meant that some elephants were suffering from hunger.
17
As there was a limit to the amount of food in the national park, some elephants began looking further afield.
18
Elephants were routinely knocking down fences around the park.
19
which then had to be repaired at a significant cost.
20
To solve this problem, the decision was made to move dozens of elephants from Majete National Park to Nkotakota Wildlife Park,
21
where there were no elephants.
22
But, obviously, attempting to move significant numbers of elephants to a new home three hundred kilometres away is quite a challenge.
23
So, how did this translocation process work in practice?
24
Elephants were moved in groups of between eight and twenty all belonging to one family.
25
Because relationships are very important to elephants, they all had to be moved at the same time.
26
A team of vets and park rangers flew over the park in helicopters.
27
and targeted a group which were rounded up and directed to a designated open plane.
28
The vets then used darts to immobilise the elephants.
29
This was a tricky manoeuvre, as they not only had to select the right dose of tranquilizer for different sized elephants,
30
But they had to dart the elephants as they were running around.
31
This also had to be done as quickly as possible, so as to minimise the stress caused.
32
As soon as the elephants began to flop onto the ground, the team moved in to take care of them.
33
To avoid the risk of suffocation, the team had to make sure none of the elephants were lying on their chests.
34
because their lungs could be crushed in this position.
35
So, all the elephants had to be placed on their sides.
36
One person stayed with each elephant while they waited for the vets to do checks.
37
It was very important to keep an eye on their breathing.
38
If there were fewer than six breaths per minute, the elephant would need urgent medical attention.
39
Collars were fitted to the matriarch in each group so their movements could be tracked in their new home.
40
Measurements were taken of each elephant's tusks.
41
Elephants with large tusks would be at greater risk from poachers and also of their feet.
42
The elephants were then taken to a recovery area, before being loaded onto trucks and transported to their new home.
43
The elephants translocated to Enkotakota settled in very well.
44
And the project has generally been accepted to have been a huge success.
45
and not just for the elephants.
46
Employment prospects have improved enormously.
47
contributing to rising living standards for the whole community.
48
Poaching is no longer an issue, as former poachers are able to find more reliable sources of income.
49
In fact, many of them volunteered to give up their weapons, as they were no longer of any use to them.
50
More than two dozen elephants have been born at Enkotakota since relocation.
51
With an area of more than 1 ,800 square kilometres, there's plenty of space for the elephant population to continue to grow.
52
Their presence is also helping to rebalance Enkotakota's damaged ecosystem
53
and providing a sustainable conservation model which could be replicated in other parks.
54
All this has been a big draw for tourism,
55
which contributes five times more than the illegal wildlife trade to GDP.
56
And this is mainly because of the elephants.
57
There's also been a dramatic rise in interest from...
58
That is the end of part four.
59
You now have one minute to check your answers to part four.

맥락 및 배경

이번 동영상에서는 동물학 학생이 야생 코끼리를 새로운 보호구역으로 옮기는 과정인 트랜스로케이션에 대한 발표를 합니다. 이 과정은 아프리카 말라위에서 최근 몇 년간 실시된 사례를 바탕으로 하여, 코끼리의 과잉 개체수 문제를 해결하기 위해 수행되었습니다. 특히, 말라위의 마제티 국립공원은 밀렵으로 인해 코끼리 개체수가 줄어들었지만, 법 집행이 강화되면서 코끼리 개체수가 급격히 늘어났습니다. 그러나 너무 많은 코끼리로 인해 자원이 부족해지고, 이에 따라 코끼리를 새로운 서식지로 옮기는 결정이 내려진 배경을 알 수 있습니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
