With the worldwide spread of COVID-19 virus, major cities around the world have taken isolation and blockade measures. Since then, the film crew has traveled all over five continents 14 countries and 2 1 4 regions, and photographed and recorded the living conditions of 20 kinds of wild animals in different geographical and ecological units, such as oceans, grasslands, cities and villages, and recorded and presented an unprecedented "global experiment" triggered by the COVID-19 epidemic in a unique way.
In this experiment, when human activities are restricted, animals are less involved in human activities, and the visible changes in the animal kingdom are quietly taking place.
Humpback whales in the southeastern gulf of Alaska can communicate quietly with each other without sharing the sea area with cruise tourists, and the survival rate of their cubs has increased by 7%. The rhinoceros in Laikipia grassland in Kenya is no longer hunted, achieving the first growth since 1999; The beach of Juneau, Florida, which was once crowded with tourists, is now empty. The endangered animal red turtle can return to the beach to lay eggs, and the survival rate of its cubs has increased by 6 1%.
When the retail industry in major cities around the world closed down one after another, the flow of people in cities decreased by 90%, and animals began to migrate to urban centers. In Saint Lucia, South Africa, hippos swagger to the gas station; In Tel Aviv, Israel, wolves roam in the park in the city center; In Santiago, Chile, cougars haunt the sidewalks, no longer worrying about human eyes.
The COVID-19 epidemic has had a great impact on global travel and industry, and the earth has entered the "most peaceful period in history".
