As a wildlife films, BERTIE Gregory is always ready for challenge. But his adventure plan leads him to an unimaginable danger – he recently participated in a prominent professional moment.
The surrounding shark may control – but Berte Gregory determines the record straight because they say they are not more dangerous.
Wildlife movie maker returns to our screens with sharks closely, a new documentary with the National Geographic length, followed by the Hit Hot Up series.
This time, 31 -year -old snowed leopards and forest elephants exchanged the most abuse in the world: the great white shark.
As is always the case, Burti Gregory's approach to filming is overwhelming and adrenaline nourishment – sometimes to a mistake. “It is difficult to connect to filming.” The first instance is to get a record and determine later on whether it had happened in the movie. “
One scene of animals was led by an closest to photographing African forests in a tree made of metal platforms. He remembers: “We were right in the middle of a thunderbolt storm.” “We had to heavy rain to a safer tree without a metal.
Now Berte faces good, bad and ugly from marine life. “In the world of wildlife films and maintaining oceans, not a shark is not a serious problem,” he says.
“We kill more than 100 million every year. It is easy to blame the shark fin in Asia, but here in the United Kingdom, we also kill a lot – we often sell it or even sell in fish and chips under different names.”
It was filmed off the coast of South Africa, in the Bleetburg Bay, sharks sees the close -up attempt to swim alongside a wonderful white side – the dream of childhood for many, but a complex and medium task in reality as it cooperates with researcher Lassi Williams.

“I realized how the two great eggs are in danger while spent time with the local community, and learning from scientists and guides,” they are facing an ideal storm of natural and human threats. “
Among the most urgent, Barther refers to the controversial Batter protection systems used in parts of South Africa. “Along the coast, fatal methods such as cut hooks and drum lines are used to reduce human conflict, but they kill sharks,” says Burti.
“At the same time, shark prey is tightened, and smaller species such as soft sharks, and young eggs depend on these species.”
It explains that this loss is prey that fed its retreat silently. “When people say that preservatives only care about charismatic animals such as lions, polar bears, or great eggs, what lacks is that protecting these predators help protect the entire ecosystems,” Berte insists.
“They are indications of ocean health. If you want healthy oceans – we need them for food, climate regulation, and even the air we breathe – you should protect the species that maintain this balance.”
But humans are not the only threat, as deadly whales were known as hunting the great white shark. “The deadly whales may seem friendly to humans, but they are not on anything else in the ocean. They are the real predatory summit,” thus although we think about great eggs as predators that cannot be prejudiced, they are subject to serious pressure from all sides. “
Despite these tremendous challenges, Berte refuses to tend to despair. He says: “It is a snare. But I do not believe in death and depression as an incentive,” he says.
“People already feel tired. Instead, focus on hope and recovery. Nature is incredibly flexible. If we give space and protection, it can bounce on an unusual scale.”
This message of hope is sprayed throughout the sharks closely, which embodies unexpected and mobile meetings. “Some of our amazing confrontations were completely unexpected, as with the southern right whales.
“These amazing whales were heavily targeted during the era of whales because they floated after killing them,” says Berte. But thanks to the protection from the seventies, they return.
The area we portrayed is a haven for the mothers of the southern right whale. We had a magic diving with them. “One of the dramatic scene in particular sees a couple of whale on the mother air conditioners who are harassed by a pods of gunforo.
The documentary also completely breaks the agreement by adopting the inability to predict nature. “Without giving a lot, this is not a typical documentary for wildlife. We often celebrate” victory “, but this film also embraces failure.”
“Nature does not always offer you. But if you are excited and continuous, it may give you something better than what you planned.”
Bertti is trying, in the end, is the narration about sharks – especially the great eggs. “We have spent a long time in fear of the great eggs when we fear them,” says Berte.
“Yes, it can be dangerous, but coexistence does not coexist about controlling sharks – it relates to controlling human behavior. When attacks occur, this is due to a wrong identity. Sharks do not want to eat humans – we are not greasy enough like seals and we taste them strange.
But their hunting method involves hitting with force and fast, so if they make a mistake, the consequences of a person can be disastrous. He says that the solution is not to execute it, but to change human behavior.
He says: “The key is to reduce the chance of an error: Do not swim at dawn or dusk, in mysterious waters, or when you know a shark nearby.”
But at the heart of the shark closer, this time, this time is a deep belief in work and influence. “Yes, the planet is in trouble, but the work is not hopeless,” says Berte.
“If we stop trying to” save the world “and instead, fix one problem at one time – one coast, one type – we will see real results. This is what drives me: hope, work, the joy of celebrating the times we get correctly.”
Shark fish near Bertti Gregory broadcast on Tuesday 8 Y July at 8 pm on Nat Geo Wild.
