Masai rahva jaoks, kelle seas 13-aastane Richard Turere elab, on loomakarjad ülimalt tähtsad. Lõvide rünnakuid juhtus aga üha tihedamini. Oma lühikeses inspireerivas kõnes räägib noor leidur päikesepatareiga töötavast lahendusest, mille abil lõvisid ilma neile viga tegemata eemale peletada.

00:12
This is where I live. I live in Kenya,
0
982
2774
Siin ma elan. Ma elan Kenyas,
00:15
at the south parts of the Nairobi National Park.
1
3756
3067
Nairobi rahvuspargi lõunaosas.
00:18
Those are my dad's cows at the back,
2
6823
1988
Taustal on mu isa veised
00:20
and behind the cows,
3
8811
1980
ja veiste taga
00:22
that's the Nairobi National Park.
4
10791
2304
ongi Nairobi rahvuspark.
00:25
Nairobi National Park is not fenced in the south widely,
5
13095
3505
Rahvuspark pole lõunast taraga eriti piiratud,
00:28
which means wild animals like zebras
6
16600
3462
mistõttu metsloomad, näiteks sebrad,
00:32
migrate out of the park freely.
7
20062
3921
võivad pargist vabalt välja tulla.
00:35
So predators like lions follow them,
8
23983
4013
Kiskjad, näiteks lõvid, järgnevad neile,
00:39
and this is what they do.
9
27996
2795
ja see on tagajärg.
00:42
They kill our livestock.
10
30791
3001
Nad murravad meie loomi.
00:45
This is one of the cows which was killed at night,
11
33792
2447
See on üks veis, mis öösel maha murti,
00:48
and I just woke up in the morning and I found it dead,
12
36239
4040
ja kui ma hommikul ärkasin ja nägin, et ta on surnud,
00:52
and I felt so bad,
13
40279
2426
olin ma väga kurb,
00:54
because it was the only bull we had.
14
42705
4487
sest see oli meie ainuke pull.
00:59
My community, the Maasai, we believe that
15
47192
2787
Olen masai rahva hulgast ja me usume,
01:01
we came from heaven with all our animals and all the land
16
49979
6057
et me oleme tulnud taevast koos oma loomade ja maaga,
01:08
for herding them, and that's why we value them so much.
17
56036
3775
kus neid karjatada, ning seepärast me peame neid väga väärtuslikeks.
01:11
So I grew up hating lions so much.
18
59811
3759
Nii ma kasvasin üles lõvisid väga vihates.
01:15
The morans are the warriors
19
63570
3053
Moranid on sõjamehed,
01:18
who protect our community and the livestock,
20
66623
3317
kes kaitsevad meie rahvast ja karjasid,
01:21
and they're also upset about this problem.
21
69940
3079
ja ka neile teeb see probleem muret.
01:25
So they kill the lions.
22
73019
3005
Nii nad tapavad lõvisid.
01:28
It's one of the six lions which were killed in Nairobi.
23
76024
3914
See on üks kuuest lõvist, kes Nairobis tapeti.
01:31
And I think this is why the Nairobi National Park lions are few.
24
79938
4539
Arvan, et seepärast on Nairobi rahvusparki jäänud vähe lõvisid.
01:36
So a boy, from six to nine years old, in my community
25
84477
4961
6- kuni 9-aastased poisid meie rahva hulgas
01:41
is responsible for his dad's cows,
26
89438
2874
hoolitsevad oma isa karjade eest
01:44
and that's the same thing which happened to me.
27
92312
3130
ja sama tegin ka mina.
01:47
So I had to find a way of solving this problem.
28
95442
3415
Seepärast pidin probleemile lahenduse leidma.
01:50
And the first idea I got was to use fire,
29
98857
4814
Esimene mõte oli kasutada tuld,
01:55
because I thought lions were scared of fire.
30
103671
3793
sest ma arvasin, et lõvid kardavad tuld.
01:59
But I came to realize that that didn't really help,
31
107464
4719
Kuid sain aru, et sellest polnud kasu,
02:04
because it was even helping the lions
32
112183
2609
see koguni aitas lõvidel näha
02:06
to see through the cowshed.
33
114792
3511
aedikust läbi.
02:10
So I didn't give up. I continued.
34
118303
3329
Aga ma ei andnud alla. Jätkasin otsinguid.
02:13
And a second idea I got was
35
121632
2640
Teine mõte oli kasutada
02:16
to use a scarecrow.
36
124272
2067
hernehirmutist.
02:18
I was trying to trick the lions
37
126339
1614
Tahtsin jätta lõvidele mulje,
02:19
[into thinking] that I was standing near the cowshed.
38
127953
2907
et ma seisan karjaaediku juures.
02:22
But lions are very clever. (Laughter)
39
130860
4076
Aga lõvid on nutikad. (Naer)
02:26
They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back,
40
134936
4446
Nad tulevad ühel päeval, näevad hernehirmutist ning lähevad ära,
02:31
but the second day, they'll come and they say,
41
139382
3274
aga teisel päeval nad tulevad ja ütlevad,
02:34
this thing is not moving here, it's always here. (Laughter)
42
142656
3110
see siin ei liigu, see on alati siin. (Naer)
02:37
So he jumps in and kills the animals.
43
145766
3237
Nii ta kargab sisse ja murrab loomad maha.
02:41
So one night, I was walking around the cowshed with a torch,
44
149003
3953
Ühel öösel kõndisin aediku ümber taskulambiga
02:44
and that day, the lions didn't come.
45
152956
3843
ja tol päeval lõvisid ei tulnud.
02:48
And I discovered that lions are afraid of a moving light.
46
156799
4558
Ja ma avastasin, et lõvid kardavad liikuvat valgust.
02:53
So I had an idea.
47
161357
2573
Mul tuli mõte.
02:55
Since I was a small boy,
48
163930
2310
Kuna ma olin väike poiss,
02:58
I used to work in my room for the whole day,
49
166240
3258
oli mul kombeks töötada kogu päeva oma toas
03:01
and I even took apart my mom's new radio,
50
169498
3106
ja ma võtsin koguni koost lahti oma ema uue raadio,
03:04
and that day she almost killed me,
51
172604
1818
ja ta oleks mind tol päeval peaaegu maha löönud,
03:06
but I learned a lot about electronics. (Laughter)
52
174422
6254
aga ma õppisin elektroonika kohta palju. (Naer)
03:12
So I got an old car battery,
53
180676
3360
Sain vana autoaku,
03:16
an indicator box. It's a small device found in a motorcycle,
54
184036
3790
indikaatorikarbi. See on see väike seade motorattal,
03:19
and it helps motorists when they want to turn right or left. It blinks.
55
187826
5051
mida motorattur kasutab, kui tahab paremale või vasakule pöörata. See vilgutab.
03:24
And I got a switch where I can switch on the lights, on and off.
56
192877
4554
Ja ma sain lüliti, millega saan tulesid sisse ja välja lülitada.
03:29
And that's a small torch from a broken flashlight.
57
197431
4828
Ja see on väike lamp ühest katkisest taskulambist.
03:34
So I set up everything.
58
202259
2881
Panin kõik kokku.
03:37
As you can see, the solar panel charges the battery,
59
205140
3224
Nagu näha, päikesepatarei laadib akut
03:40
and the battery supplies the power
60
208364
2121
ja aku annab voolu
03:42
to the small indicator box. I call it a transformer.
61
210485
3055
väikesele indikaatorikarbile. Kutsun seda trafoks.
03:45
And the indicator box makes the lights flash.
62
213540
4721
Ja indikaator paneb valguse vilkuma.
03:50
As you can see, the bulbs face outside,
63
218261
3751
Nagu näha on pirnid pööratud väljapoole,
03:54
because that's where the lions come from.
64
222012
2488
sest sealtpoolt tulevad lõvid.
03:56
And that's how it looks to lions when they come at night.
65
224500
4064
Ja nii paistab see lõvidele, kui nad öösel tulevad.
04:00
The lights flash and trick
66
228564
2728
Lambid vilguvad ja panevad
04:03
the lions into thinking I was walking around the cowshed,
67
231292
1942
lõvid arvama, et ma kõnnin ümber karjaaia,
04:05
but I was sleeping in my bed.
68
233234
1926
aga mina magan kodus.
04:07
(Laughter)
69
235160
2740
(Naer)
04:09
(Applause)
70
237900
1669
(Aplaus)
04:11
Thanks.
71
239569
5595
Aitäh!
04:17
So I set it up in my home two years ago,
72
245164
4276
Panin selle kodus üles kahe aasta eest,
04:21
and since then, we have never experienced any problem with lions.
73
249440
3320
ja sellest alates pole mul olnud kunagi probleeme lõvidega.
04:24
And my neighboring homes heard about this idea.
74
252760
4012
Mu naabrid kuulsid sellest ideest.
04:28
One of them was this grandmother.
75
256772
2464
Üks neist oli see vanaema.
04:31
She had a lot of her animals being killed by lions,
76
259236
4276
Lõvid on maha murdnud palju tema loomi
04:35
and she asked me if I could put the lights for her.
77
263512
2134
ja ta küsis, kas võiksin ka talle lambid üles panna.
04:37
And I said, "Yes."
78
265646
1278
Ütlesin: "Jah!"
04:38
So I put the lights. You can see at the back, those are the lion lights.
79
266924
4600
Panin need talle.
04:43
Since now, I've set up seven homes around my community,
80
271524
3416
Sellest alates olen lampe panemas käinud seitsmes kodus
04:46
and they're really working.
81
274940
2225
ja need töötavad.
04:49
And my idea is also being used now all over Kenya
82
277165
5180
Nüüd kasutatakse mu ideed kogu Kenyas,
04:54
for scaring other predators like hyenas, leopards,
83
282345
5113
et hirmutada teisi kiskjaid, nagu hüäänid ja leopardid,
04:59
and it's also being used
84
287458
2235
ja seda on kasutatud ka
05:01
to scare elephants away from people's farms.
85
289693
4045
elevantide eemale peletamiseks inimeste farmidest.
05:05
Because of this invention, I was lucky to get a scholarship
86
293738
3040
Selle leiutise tõttu oli mul võimalik saada stipendiaadina
05:08
in one of the best schools in Kenya,
87
296778
2650
ühte parimasse Kenya kooli,
05:11
Brookhouse International School,
88
299428
1907
rahvusvahelisse Brookhouse'i kooli,
05:13
and I'm really excited about this.
89
301335
2927
ja see on väga põnev.
05:16
My new school now is coming in and helping
90
304262
3850
Mu uus kool on tulnud appi ja aidanud
05:20
by fundraising and creating an awareness.
91
308112
4532
rahaliselt ning jaganud infot.
05:24
I even took my friends back to my community,
92
312644
5283
Olen käinud sõpradega oma rahva juures
05:29
and we're installing the lights to the homes
93
317927
3197
ja paigaldanud valgusteid sinna, kus neid pole,
05:33
which don't have [any], and I'm teaching them how to put them.
94
321124
4649
ja ma õpetan, kuidas neid üles seada.
05:37
So one year ago, I was just a boy in the savanna grassland
95
325773
3897
Aasta tagasi olin lihtsalt üks poiss savanni heinamaalt,
05:41
herding my father's cows,
96
329670
1674
kes karjatas oma isa veiseid.
05:43
and I used to see planes flying over,
97
331344
2954
Vaatasin, kuidas lennukid üle mu pea lendavad
05:46
and I told myself that one day, I'll be there inside.
98
334298
4211
ja mõtlesin, et ühel päeval istun minagi lennukis.
05:50
And here I am today.
99
338509
3088
Ja siin ma olen.
05:53
I got a chance to come by plane for my first time for TED.
100
341597
5936
Mul oli võimalik lennata esimest korda elus TED konverentsile.
05:59
So my big dream is to become an aircraft engineer and pilot when I grow up.
101
347533
5436
Mu unistus on saada lennukimehaanikuks ja piloodiks, kui ma suureks saan.
06:04
I used to hate lions, but now because my invention
102
352969
3694
Kunagi ma vihkasin lõvisid, ent kuna mu leiutis
06:08
is saving my father's cows and the lions,
103
356663
3318
hoiab elus nii mu isa lehmad kui ka lõvid,
06:11
we are able to stay with the lions without any conflict.
104
359981
3700
saame me elada koos lõvidega ilma probleemideta.
06:15
Ashê olên. It means in my language, thank you very much.
105
363681
3220
Ashê olên. See on "suur tänu" mu emakeeles.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Richard Turere - InventorYoung inventor Richard Turere invented "lion lights," an elegant way to protect his family's cattle from lion attacks.
Why you should listen
Richard Turere is a young Maasai man who lives in the wilderness of the Kenya savanna, on the edge of a national park full of rhino, giraffe, buffalo and lions. Since he was 9, Richard has held the honored chore of tending his father's cattle; in his free time, he tinkered with electrical gadgets. After dismantling the few household appliances, Richard taught himself how to fix them, and then he started inventing. He fit his parents' home with fans made from car parts and other junkyard components harvested from junkyards, then built other inventions for his neighbors.
Now 13, he is renowned for inventing "lion lights," a fence made of basic pieces (solar charging cells, flashlight parts), which quickly and effectively scares lions away from his father's cattle. Richard's dream is to be an aircraft engineer.
