【原】地球之人类世

Humans have made an indelible mark on the planet. 

人类在这个星球上留下了不可磨灭的印记。

Since the mid-20th century, we've accelerated the digging of mines, construction of dams, expansion of cities and clearing of forests for agriculture — activity that will be visible in the geological record for eons to come.

自20世纪中叶以来，我们加快了采矿、筑坝、城市扩张和为农业活动而砍伐森林的步伐，这些都将在未来的地质记录中显现出来。

Some scientists are calling it the Anthropocene era, or the age of the humans ("anthropos" is Greek for human).

一些科学家把这个时代称为“人类世”，即人类的时代(anthropos在希腊语中是“人类”的意思)。

Photographer Edward Burtynsky and filmmakers Jennifer Baichwal and Nicholas de Pencier were inspired by this ongoing discussion of the debate over this new geological era. 

摄影师爱德华·伯廷斯基、电影制片人詹妮弗·巴伊奇瓦尔和尼古拉斯·德·彭希尔受到了正在进行的关于新地质时代争论的讨论的启发。

These three Canadian artists traveled to 22 countries to research and document "places of obvious, physical human incursions on the landscape," says filmmaker de Pencier.

这三位加拿大艺术家游历了22个国家，研究和记录“人类对自然景观明显的、有形的入侵”，电影制片人德·彭希尔说。

They created over 50 images capturing the impact of humans on the Earth, like a sprawling, 30-acre garbage dump in Kenya, large swaths of deforestation in Borneo and waterways damaged by oil siphoning in Nigeria.

他们制作了50多张图片，捕捉了人类对地球的影响，比如肯尼亚一个占地30英亩的大垃圾场，婆罗洲大片的森林被砍伐，尼日利亚的水道被石油虹吸破坏。

Their expansive, multidisciplinary body of work is called The Anthropocene Project.

他们广泛的、多学科的工作被称为人类世计划。

The project, which includes photography, film, virtual reality and augmented reality, took four years to complete and launched in September 2018. 

该项目包括摄影、电影、虚拟现实和增强现实，于2018年9月启动，将历时四年完成。

The exhibition is currently on display at the Fondazione MAST Museum in Bologna, Italy. 

该展览目前正在意大利博洛尼亚的基金会桅杆博物馆博物馆展出。

And their film will be shown in the U.S. this fall.

他们的电影将于今年秋天在美国上映。

"[The Anthropocene Project] is almost looking back from a projected future, from the future geologist investigating what will remain in the rock record long after we're gone," de Pencier adds.

“(人类世计划)几乎是在展望未来，站在未来的地质学家的角度来调查在我们消失后很长一段时间里岩石记录中还会保留些什么，”德·彭希尔说道。

Here is a selection of photographs from the project.

以下是该项目的精选照片。

This aerial photo depicts the sawmills of Lagos, Nigeria. 

这张航拍照片描绘了尼日利亚拉各斯的锯木厂。

The timber from the country's rainforests, some of the most heavily deforested in the world, are processed in this coastal city, polluting the lagoons.

这个国家的热带雨林是世界上森林砍伐最严重的地区之一，来自这里的木材在这个沿海城市加工，污染了泻湖。

A 3,400-acre Exxon Petrochemical plant in Baytown, Texas, produces materials for tires, car bumpers and over 500,000 barrels of crude oil per day, according to the company.

上图为埃克森美孚在得克萨斯州贝镇的一座占地3,400英亩的石化工厂每天生产轮胎、汽车保险杆和逾50万桶原油。

The Dandora Landfill in Nairobi, Kenya is a sprawling 30-acre dump that grows by an average of 850 tons of solid waste a day, according to the U.N. Environment Programme.

根据联合国环境规划署的数据，肯尼亚内罗毕的丹多拉垃圾填埋场是一个占地30英亩的庞大垃圾场，平均每天产生850吨固体废物。

An underground potash mine in the Ural mountains of Russia. 

上图为俄罗斯乌拉尔山脉的一个地下钾矿。

The potassium-rich salt is mined to produce fertilizer. 

富含钾的盐被开采来生产肥料。

The team says that the mine shows the impact of modernized agricultural practices that help feed Earth's 7.5 billion people. 

研究小组说，这个矿显示了现代化农业生产方式的影响，这种生产方式帮助养活了地球上75亿人口。

The spiraled pattern seen here is caused by the machines used to extract the salts.

这里看到的螺旋状图案是由提取盐的机器造成的。

A tetrapod factory in Dongying, China. 

上图为中国东营的一家混凝土工厂。

These concrete blocks are dropped into the ocean to create a barrier that protects low-lying oil refineries from rising sea levels. 

这些混凝土块被抛入海洋，形成一道屏障，保护地势较低的炼油厂不受海平面上升的影响。

According to a recent scientific review, human beings have now produced enough concrete to cover the entire globe in a 2mm- thick layer.

根据最近的一项科学综述，人类现在已经制造出了足够的混凝土，可以覆盖整个地球的2毫米厚的一层。

An aerial view of a palm plantation on the island of Borneo. 

上图为婆罗洲岛上一个棕榈树种植园的鸟瞰图。

Enormous tracts of tropical rainforest have been cleared to grow the lucrative crop, which is used to create palm oil, a vegetable oil that is also used in food processing.

大片热带雨林被砍伐，用来种植这种利润丰厚的作物，棕榈油是一种植物油，也用于食品加工。
