保护荒岛(Protecting an island wilderness)

沿着美国佐治亚州大西洋海岸最南端，有几个障壁岛，这些障壁岛是平行于海岸沉积沙子形成的。坎伯兰岛是其中最大的，长约17.5英里。从土著居民到包括大量奴隶人口在内的殖民时代定居点，该岛已有数千年的历史。最终，坎伯兰在成为受保护的公共土地之前，在20世纪成为富有实业家的度假胜地。

Along the southernmost stretch of the USA's Atlantic coast in the state of Georgia are several barrier islands, formed when sand is deposited parallel to the coast. Cumberland Island is the largest of them, about 17.5 miles in length. The island has been inhabited for thousands of years from indigenous populations to colonial-era settlements that included a large slave population. Eventually, Cumberland became a holiday getaway for wealthy industrialists in the 20th century, before it became a protected public land.
