“White Dolphin and Its Photographer” | SmallRig Awards Submission Film Showcase Vol. 01
SmallRig Awards 2024-10-24 02:08:45

The Chinese white dolphin is a first-class protected animal in China. The total number of the dolphin in the world is only about 6,000. Because of its rarity, it is known as the "giant panda of the sea" and the "national treasure of the sea". It is the only marine dolphin named after "China". As a near-shore resident species, the living environment of the white dolphin is severely squeezed in modern society. Land-based pollution, habitat decline, and population isolation have caused the number of white dolphins to decline again and again. Faced with such a fragile species, the few researchers in China have exhausted their energy for conservation work. This video records the story between Zheng Ruiqiang, a Chinese white dolphin conservation expert, and the white dolphin. Going out to sea, looking for dolphins, observing, taking pictures, and identifying are important parts of the daily work of the protagonist Zheng Ruiqiang in the video. As the "exclusive photographer" of the white dolphin, after more than ten years of tracking and shooting, he has learned more and more about the situation of the white dolphin. It is difficult to find a white dolphin in the vast ocean and take pictures. It is even more arduous to identify and create files for different dolphins. Humans are always humble in front of the sea that breeds primitive life, and should maintain a submissive attitude. The world's only beautiful pink dolphin should have a place in human development. Now the sound of the Chinese white dolphin has been filled into the seabed, turning into a silent deep blue. The biodiversity crisis is already before the world. Only by acting together can we save more of the future.
