Tashka i Laura Yawanawá na čelu su plemena Yawanawá u saveznoj državi Acre u Brazilu. Riječ je o plemenu koje se brine za gotovo 200.000 hektara Amazonske prašume. Nakon što su snimke tamošnjih požara obišle svijet i šokirale javnost, Tashka i Laura pozivaju nas da pretvorimo ovaj trenutak u priliku da podržimo autohtono stanovništvo budući da ono ima iskustvo, znanje i oruđe potrebno da zaštite zemlju.

01:38
I just did the song
13

Upravo sam izveo pjesmu
01:41
to reconnect us
to the spirit of the rainforest.
to the spirit of the rainforest.
14
89213
3449
da nas ponovno povežem
s duhom kišne šume.
s duhom kišne šume.
01:45
From immemorial time,
15
93173
2254
Od pamtivijeka
01:47
my people live in the Yawanawá territory.
16
95451

moj narod živi na teritoriju Yawanawá.
01:51
We see this holistic way
17
99998
3469
Mi na sveobuhvatan način
01:56
of how nature is.
18
104584
2271
doživljavamo prirodu.
01:58
Nature, to us, belongs
to the whole of humanity.

Priroda za nas pripada
čitavom čovječanstvu.
čitavom čovječanstvu.
02:05
And we Yawanawá see
20
113212
1937
Mi, pleme Yawanawá,
02:08
the environment, the forest, as alive.
21
116276
2533
okoliš i šumu smatramo živima.
02:11
But everything is always a challenge.
22
119807
3503
No uvijek se susrećemo s izazovima.
02:15
Mostly now, because I think
many of you know
many of you know
23
123673
3571
Pogotovo sad kad, kao što znate,
02:19
that the Amazon now is on fire.
24
127268
2856
Amazonska prašuma gori.
02:23
That affects all of us.
25
131186
2645
To utječe na sve nas.
02:27
Destroying the Amazon does not affect
just the indigenous people,
just the indigenous people,
26
135371
4555
Uništavanje Amazone ne utječe
samo na autohtono stanovništvo.
samo na autohtono stanovništvo.
02:31
because we are all connected.
27
139950
2316
Naime, svi smo povezani.
02:34
Whatever we do in my community,
if I burn everything,
if I burn everything,
28
142578

Što god učinim u svojoj zajednici,
primjerice, ako napravim požar,
primjerice, ako napravim požar,
02:38
it's going to affect it here,
29
146022
1416
to će imati odjeka i ovdje
02:39
when the snow comes here at Christmas.
30
147462
2377
kad počne sniježiti za Božić.
02:41
If you pollute here,
31
149863
1413
Ako pak vi zagađujete okoliš,
02:43
it's going to affect it when the rain
comes to my country.

posljedice ću osjetiti i ja
kad počne kišiti u mojoj zemlji.

02:48
I used to say we all belong
to the global village.

33
156981

Znam reći da svi zajedno
pripadamo globalnom selu.
pripadamo globalnom selu.
02:53
I used to say, Amazon belongs to humanity,
34
161561
4381
Znam reći da Amazona
pripada čovječanstvu,
pripada čovječanstvu,
02:57
and also that humanity needs to take care
as the indigenous do in the world.
as the indigenous do in the world.
35
165966
5850
kao i da se svi trebaju brinuti o okolišu
kao što to čini autohtono stanovništvo.
kao što to čini autohtono stanovništvo.
03:04
And for this reason,
36
172776
2728
Iz tog razloga,
03:08
today is a time to wake, unite us.
37
176474
5492
kucnuo je čas da se probudimo i ujedinimo.
03:13
We Yawanawá are doing our part.
38
181990
1859
Mi, pleme Yawanawá, činimo svoj dio.
03:16
We take care of Mother Earth.
39
184331
2134
Brinemo se o Majci Zemlji.
03:20
And now, I will give to my wife.
40
188090

Sad prepuštam riječ svojoj supruzi.
03:23
Laura Yawanawá: We are here
with our hearts crying.
with our hearts crying.
41
191844
4103
Laura Yawanawá: Stojimo
pred vama uplakanih srdaca.
pred vama uplakanih srdaca.
03:28
I am smiling here, but my heart is crying,
42
196511
3245
Smiješim se, no srce mi plače
03:31
because a lot of our forests
are being destroyed.
are being destroyed.
43
199780
4084
jer se mnoge naše šume uništavaju.
03:36
And I just want to give you a message.
44
204748
3055
Želim vam poručiti sljedeće:
03:40
This crisis is giving
humanity two options.
humanity two options.
45
208328
5062
Ova kriza čovječanstvu
nudi dvije mogućnosti.
nudi dvije mogućnosti.
03:46
One option is you help to end,
to destroy and exterminate
to destroy and exterminate
46
214049
6617
Prva mogućnost je
da sudjelujete u uništenju
da sudjelujete u uništenju
03:52
all our forests and all
our cultures that go with it.
our cultures that go with it.
47
220690
4591
svih naših šuma i kultura.
03:57
Or, we transform this crisis
into an opportunity
into an opportunity
48
225792
5537
Druga je da pretvorimo ovu krizu u priliku
04:03
to empower indigenous people,
49
231353
2437
da osnažimo autohtono stanovništvo,
04:05
to support indigenous people
50
233814
2166
da ga podržimo
04:08
and to save the rainforest
and their cultures.
and their cultures.
51
236004
4373
i da sačuvamo
kišne šume i tamošnje kulture.
kišne šume i tamošnje kulture.
04:12
And how can you do that?
52
240401
1698
Kako to postići?
04:14
We have, the Yawanawá,
we created a life plan,
we created a life plan,
53
242927
5896
Mi iz Yawanawá plemena
osmislili smo životni plan.
osmislili smo životni plan.
04:20
which is our strategic planning
54
248847
2905
Taj strateški plan
04:23
that tells us the steps
of how we want to secure our territory.
of how we want to secure our territory.
55
251776
5405
otkriva nam korake putem
kojih želimo zaštititi svoj teritorij.
kojih želimo zaštititi svoj teritorij.
04:29
We take care of about
200,000 hectares of rainforest.
200,000 hectares of rainforest.
56
257205
4126
Brinemo za otprilike
200.000 hektara kišne šume,
200.000 hektara kišne šume,
04:33
But now it's under threat.
57
261355
1733
koja je sada, međutim, u opasnosti.
04:35
So this life plan shows the steps
for us to secure our land,
for us to secure our land,
58
263752
5945
Ovaj životni plan pokazuje nam
kako zaštititi svoju zemlju,
kako zaštititi svoju zemlju,
04:41
our biodiversity,
59
269721
1880
biološku raznolikost,
04:43
our culture, our education.
60
271625
2603
kulturu i obrazovanje.
04:46
I invite you all,
61
274688
2873
Pozivam sve vas,
04:49
I invite all companies,
62
277585
2365
sve tvrtke,
04:51
I invite all governments,
all civil society,
all civil society,
63
279974
3992
sve vlade, svo građansko društvo
04:55
to listen to indigenous peoples,
64
283990
1889
da poslušate autohtono stanovništvo
04:57
to go back to our roots.
65
285903
2467
i da se vratimo svojim korijenima.
05:00
We have been here
for many, many ... for centuries.
for many, many ... for centuries.
66
288776
5174
Stoljećima živimo ovdje.
05:05
And we have been trying
to scream to the world
to scream to the world
67
293974
2857
Pokušavamo utuviti svijetu u glavu
05:08
that we need to protect
our territory, our nature.
our territory, our nature.
68
296855
2778
da trebamo zaštititi
svoj teritorij i prirodu.
svoj teritorij i prirodu.
05:11
And you never listen to us.
69
299657
1849
Ne želite nas slušati.
05:13
Never.
70
301530
1166
Nikad.
05:14
I guess this crisis is teaching humanity
71
302720
3944
Mislim da ova kriza pokazuje čovječanstvu
05:18
that now you need to listen to us
72
306688
2286
da je vrijeme da nas poslušate
05:20
and to support indigenous
peoples directly,
peoples directly,
73
308998
2809
i izravno podržite autohtono stanovništvo
05:23
to support their initiatives directly.
74
311831
3040
i njihove inicijative.
05:26
So that's the message
that I would love to leave to you.
that I would love to leave to you.
75
314895
5444
To je poruka s kojom
bih vas željela ostaviti.
bih vas željela ostaviti.
05:32
That indigenous people have the answer,
76
320363
2286
Autohtono stanovništvo ima odgovor,
05:34
and if you want to save the Amazon,
77
322673
2261
a ako želite spasiti Amazonu,
05:36
we have to take action now.
78
324958
2690
sad je vrijeme da se nešto poduzme.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Tashka and Laura Yawanawá - Leaders of the YawanawáChief Tashka Yawanawá and Laura Yawanawá represent the critical perspective often missed in the discussions about the future of indigenous people in Brazil: that of the indigenous people themselves.
Why you should listen
For Tashka and Laura Yawanawá, leaders of the Yawanawá people living in the Acre region of Brazil, engagement with the world begins with his people’s right to self-determination and self-worth.
The son of a former leader of the Yawanawá, as a boy Tashka witnessed the near annihilation of his culture by the New Tribes Mission and by the pressure of economic interests. He studied in the United States and visited other indigenous communities. With other tribal leaders in the Amazon, he is working to restore dignity, identity and a sustainable economic future to indigenous populations, founded on their own values, culture and definition of prosperity.
