U Maasai zajednici gdje živi 13-godišnji Richard Turere, stoka je vrlo važna. No, napadi lavova bili su sve učestaliji. U ovom kratkom, nadahnjujućem govoru, mladi izumitelj govori o rješenju na solarnu energiju koje je osmislio kako bi sa sigurnošću otjerao lavove.

This is where I live. I live in Kenya,
0
982
2774
Živim u Keniji,
00:15
at the south parts of the Nairobi National Park.
1
3756
3067
u južnom dijelu Nacionalnog parka Nairobi.
00:18
Those are my dad's cows at the back,
2
6823
1988
Ovo su krave mog oca u pozadini,
00:20
and behind the cows,
3
8811
1980
a iza krava je
00:22
that's the Nairobi National Park.
4
10791
2304
Nacionalni park Nairobi.
00:25
Nairobi National Park is not fenced in the south widely,
5
13095
3505
NP Nairobi na jugu većinom nije ograđen
00:28
which means wild animals like zebras
6
16600
3462
što znači da divlje životinje kao što su zebre
00:32
migrate out of the park freely.
7
20062
3921
slobodno izlaze iz parka.
00:35
So predators like lions follow them,
8
23983
4013
Grabežljivci poput lavova ih slijede
00:39
and this is what they do.
9
27996
2795
i naprave ovo.
00:42
They kill our livestock.
10
30791
3001
Ubijaju našu stoku.
00:45
This is one of the cows which was killed at night,
11
33792
2447
Ovo je jedna od krava koja je ubijena noću,
00:48
and I just woke up in the morning and I found it dead,
12
36239
4040
a ja sam se ujutro probudio i pronašao je mrtvu
00:52
and I felt so bad,
13
40279
2426
i bilo mi je žao
00:54
because it was the only bull we had.
14
42705
4487
jer je to bio jedini bik kojeg smo imali.
00:59
My community, the Maasai, we believe that
15
47192
2787
Moja zajednica, Maasai, vjeruje
01:01
we came from heaven with all our animals and all the land
16
49979
6057
da smo došli s neba
sa svim svojim životinjama i svom zemljom
sa svim svojim životinjama i svom zemljom
01:08
for herding them, and that's why we value them so much.
17
56036
3775
na kojoj ih pasemo i zato ih toliko cijenimo.
01:11
So I grew up hating lions so much.
18
59811
3759
Odrastao sam mrzeći lavove.
01:15
The morans are the warriors
19
63570
3053
Morani su ratnici
01:18
who protect our community and the livestock,
20
66623
3317
koji čuvaju našu zajednicu i stoku
01:21
and they're also upset about this problem.
21
69940
3079
pa su i oni uzrujani zbog tog problema.
01:25
So they kill the lions.
22
73019
3005
Zato ubijaju lavove.
01:28
It's one of the six lions which were killed in Nairobi.
23
76024
3914
Ovo je jedan od 6 lavova koji su ubijeni u Nairobiju.
01:31
And I think this is why the Nairobi National Park lions are few.
24
79938
4539
Mislim da je zato malo lavova u NP-u Nairobi.
01:36
So a boy, from six to nine years old, in my community
25
84477
4961
U mojoj zajednici, dječaci od 6 do 9 godina
01:41
is responsible for his dad's cows,
26
89438
2874
odgovorni su za očeve krave,
01:44
and that's the same thing which happened to me.
27
92312
3130
a tu odgovornost imao sam i ja.
01:47
So I had to find a way of solving this problem.
28
95442
3415
Morao sam pronaći rješenje za ovaj problem.
01:50
And the first idea I got was to use fire,
29
98857
4814
Prva ideja koju sam imao bila je koristiti vatru
01:55
because I thought lions were scared of fire.
30
103671
3793
jer sam mislio da je se lavovi boje.
01:59
But I came to realize that that didn't really help,
31
107464
4719
Ali uvidio sam da to ne pomaže,
02:04
because it was even helping the lions
32
112183
2609
već je čak pomagalo lavovima
02:06
to see through the cowshed.
33
114792
3511
da vide kroz štalu.
02:10
So I didn't give up. I continued.
34
118303
3329
Nisam odustajao. Ustrajao sam.
02:13
And a second idea I got was
35
121632
2640
Zatim mi je palo na pamet
02:16
to use a scarecrow.
36
124272
2067
koristiti strašilo.
02:18
I was trying to trick the lions
37
126339
1614
Htio sam prevariti lavove
02:19
[into thinking] that I was standing near the cowshed.
38
127953
2907
[da pomisle] kako ja stojim blizu štale.
02:22
But lions are very clever. (Laughter)
39
130860
4076
Ali lavovi su jako pametni. (Smijeh)
02:26
They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back,
40
134936
4446
Prvi dan će doći, vidjeti strašilo i otići,
02:31
but the second day, they'll come and they say,
41
139382
3274
ali drugog dana će doći i reći:
02:34
this thing is not moving here, it's always here. (Laughter)
42
142656
3110
Ova stvar se ne miče, stalno je tu. (Smijeh)
02:37
So he jumps in and kills the animals.
43
145766
3237
Pa skoče unutra i pobiju životinje.
02:41
So one night, I was walking around the cowshed with a torch,
44
149003
3953
Jedne noći hodao sam oko štale sa svjetiljkom
02:44
and that day, the lions didn't come.
45
152956
3843
i tog dana lavovi nisu došli.
02:48
And I discovered that lions are afraid of a moving light.
46
156799
4558
Otkrio sam da se lavovi boje svjetla koje se miče.
02:53
So I had an idea.
47
161357
2573
Imao sam ideju.
02:55
Since I was a small boy,
48
163930
2310
Od malena sam
02:58
I used to work in my room for the whole day,
49
166240
3258
po cijele dane radio u svojoj sobi.
03:01
and I even took apart my mom's new radio,
50
169498
3106
Čak sam rastavio mamin novi radio
03:04
and that day she almost killed me,
51
172604
1818
i tog dana me skoro ubila,
03:06
but I learned a lot about electronics. (Laughter)
52
174422
6254
ali mnogo sam naučio o elektronici. (Smijeh)
03:12
So I got an old car battery,
53
180676
3360
Uzeo sam stari automobilski akumulator
03:16
an indicator box. It's a small device found in a motorcycle,
54
184036
3790
i žmigavac. To je mali uređaj
koji se nalazi u motociklima
koji se nalazi u motociklima
03:19
and it helps motorists when they want to turn right or left. It blinks.
55
187826
5051
i pomaže vozačima kad žele
skrenuti lijevo ili desno. Žmiga.
skrenuti lijevo ili desno. Žmiga.
03:24
And I got a switch where I can switch on the lights, on and off.
56
192877
4554
Uzeo sam prekidač na koji
sam mogao paliti i gasiti svjetla.
sam mogao paliti i gasiti svjetla.
03:29
And that's a small torch from a broken flashlight.
57
197431
4828
A ovo je mala svjetiljka iz razbijene džepne baterije.
03:34
So I set up everything.
58
202259
2881
Sve sam postavio.
03:37
As you can see, the solar panel charges the battery,
59
205140
3224
Kao što vidite, solarna ćelija puni bateriju,
03:40
and the battery supplies the power
60
208364
2121
a baterija strujom napaja
03:42
to the small indicator box. I call it a transformer.
61
210485
3055
malu kutiju žmigavca. Ja je zovem transformatorom.
03:45
And the indicator box makes the lights flash.
62
213540
4721
Kutija žmigavca pali i gasi svjetla.
03:50
As you can see, the bulbs face outside,
63
218261
3751
Kao što vidite, žarulje su okrenute prema van
03:54
because that's where the lions come from.
64
222012
2488
zato jer odande dolaze lavovi.
03:56
And that's how it looks to lions when they come at night.
65
224500
4064
A ovako to izgleda lavovima kad dolaze noću.
04:00
The lights flash and trick
66
228564
2728
Svjetla žmirkaju i navedu
04:03
the lions into thinking I was walking around the cowshed,
67
231292
1942
lavove da pomisle da ja hodam oko štale,
04:05
but I was sleeping in my bed.
68
233234
1926
ali ja spavam u svom krevetu.
04:07
(Laughter)
69
235160
2740
(Smijeh)
04:09
(Applause)
70
237900
1669
(Pljesak)
04:11
Thanks.
71
239569
5595
Hvala.
04:17
So I set it up in my home two years ago,
72
245164
4276
Postavio sam to u svom domu prije dvije godine
04:21
and since then, we have never experienced any problem with lions.
73
249440
3320
i od onda nismo imali problema s lavovima.
04:24
And my neighboring homes heard about this idea.
74
252760
4012
Susjedi su čuli za tu ideju.
04:28
One of them was this grandmother.
75
256772
2464
Jedna od njih bila je ova baka.
04:31
She had a lot of her animals being killed by lions,
76
259236
4276
Lavovi su ubili mnogo njene stoke
04:35
and she asked me if I could put the lights for her.
77
263512
2134
pa me zamolila da i njoj postavim svjetla.
04:37
And I said, "Yes."
78
265646
1278
Rekao sam da hoću.
04:38
So I put the lights. You can see at the back, those are the lion lights.
79
266924
4600
Postavio sam ih.
Vide se u pozadini, to su lavlja svjetla.
Vide se u pozadini, to su lavlja svjetla.
04:43
Since now, I've set up seven homes around my community,
80
271524
3416
Do sad sam ih postavio
u sedam domova u svojoj zajednici
u sedam domova u svojoj zajednici
04:46
and they're really working.
81
274940
2225
i zbilja rade.
04:49
And my idea is also being used now all over Kenya
82
277165
5180
Moja ideja koristi se diljem Kenije
04:54
for scaring other predators like hyenas, leopards,
83
282345
5113
za plašenje grabežljivaca poput hijena, leoparda,
04:59
and it's also being used
84
287458
2235
ali i za plašenje
05:01
to scare elephants away from people's farms.
85
289693
4045
slonova s farmi.
05:05
Because of this invention, I was lucky to get a scholarship
86
293738
3040
Zbog ovog izuma, dobio sam stipendiju
05:08
in one of the best schools in Kenya,
87
296778
2650
za jednu od najboljih škola u Keniji,
05:11
Brookhouse International School,
88
299428
1907
Brookhouse International School,
05:13
and I'm really excited about this.
89
301335
2927
i zbilja sam uzbuđen zbog toga.
05:16
My new school now is coming in and helping
90
304262
3850
Moja nova škola sad pomaže
05:20
by fundraising and creating an awareness.
91
308112
4532
oko skupljanja sredstava i podizanja svijesti.
05:24
I even took my friends back to my community,
92
312644
5283
Čak sam poveo prijatelje u svoju zajednicu
05:29
and we're installing the lights to the homes
93
317927
3197
i instalirali smo svjetla u domovima
05:33
which don't have [any], and I'm teaching them how to put them.
94
321124
4649
koji ih nemaju i poučavao sam ih kako ih postaviti.
05:37
So one year ago, I was just a boy in the savanna grassland
95
325773
3897
Prije godinu dana, bio sam običan
dječak na travnjacima savane
dječak na travnjacima savane
05:41
herding my father's cows,
96
329670
1674
koji je pasao očeve krave.
05:43
and I used to see planes flying over,
97
331344
2954
Viđao sam avione kako prelijeću
05:46
and I told myself that one day, I'll be there inside.
98
334298
4211
i rekao sam si da ću jednog
dana ja biti u jednom od njih.
dana ja biti u jednom od njih.
05:50
And here I am today.
99
338509
3088
I eto me danas ovdje.
05:53
I got a chance to come by plane for my first time for TED.
100
341597
5936
Imao sam priliku avionom doći
na svoj prvi nastup na TED-u.
na svoj prvi nastup na TED-u.
05:59
So my big dream is to become an aircraft engineer and pilot when I grow up.
101
347533
5436
Moj je veliki san postati
zrakoplovni inženjer i pilot kad odrastem.
zrakoplovni inženjer i pilot kad odrastem.
06:04
I used to hate lions, but now because my invention
102
352969
3694
Nekad sam mrzio lavove, ali zato što moj izum
06:08
is saving my father's cows and the lions,
103
356663
3318
spašava očeve krave i lavove,
06:11
we are able to stay with the lions without any conflict.
104
359981
3700
možemo živjeti uz lavove bez sukoba.
06:15
Ashê olên. It means in my language, thank you very much.

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.
