and I've caught them in the same net the next year. ‎隔年它们又闯入同一个网中
And one of the reasons that we band is to show that, ‎为它们别上标记环

is that migrants also do the same thing. ‎候鸟也有同一个习惯

and so then we can put a a value on those type of areas ‎如此一来 ‎我们就能为这种地区建立价值了
and try to conserve them. ‎并设法保护这些地区
[woman] Call me if you find one. ‎找到了叫我
When a bird flies into the net, the first thing you have to do ‎发现一只鸟被困在网中时

which is a very important spot for birders. ‎这里是观鸟胜地
We will have the special experience of going behind the fence. ‎越过围篱后 ‎我们会看到一副别开生面的情景

We are literally covering large areas with concrete and asphalt. ‎美国用混凝土和沥青覆盖了 ‎一大片土地
And then also the fact that we're, um, closing off areas, ‎加上我们把这个地区封锁起来
which, you know, potentially, that will happen with border fencing. ‎如果建立边境墙 ‎当前计划持续实行下去
Continuation of the current plan that we've seen ‎这就是无可避免的结果
would mow down 150 feet on either side of where the fence would be, ‎届时美墨双方必须 ‎各挪出47米宽的土地建设边境墙
literally make it just caliche road ‎他们会直接把那一带土地夷为平地
and no more plant life or wildlife, um, support. ‎不再有野生动植物所需的资源
So, vegetation means wildlife. ‎植物是野生动物的资源
