Kemanusiaan adalah pusat perhatian di TED,
00:15
but I would like to add
a voice for the animals,
a voice for the animals,

namun saya ingin memberi suara
bagi para binatang,
bagi para binatang,
00:19
whose bodies and minds
and spirits shaped us.

00:25
Some years ago, it was my good fortune
3
13112
3246
Beberapa tahun lalu, saya berkesempatan
00:28
to meet a tribal elder on an island
4
16358
1948
bertemu seorang tetua suku di sebuah pulau
00:30
not far from Vancouver.
5
18306
2554
tak jauh dari Vancouver.
00:32
His name is Jimmy Smith,
6
20860
2378
Namanya Jimmy Smith,
00:35
and he shared a story with me
7
23238
2249
dan ia menceritakan sebuah kisah
00:37
that is told among his people,
8
25487
2353
yang diceritakan turun-temurun di sukunya,
00:39
who call themselves the Kwikwasut'inuxw.
9
27840
3195
yaitu suku Kwikwasut'inuxw.
00:43
Once upon a time, he told me,
10
31035
2695
Dia bercerita, dahulu kala
00:45
all animals on Earth were one.
11
33730
2857
semua binatang di bumi adalah satu.
00:48
Even though they look different on the outside,
12
36587
2924
Meskipun wujud mereka berbeda-beda,
00:51
inside, they're all the same,
13
39511
3240
jiwa mereka sama,
00:54
and from time to time they would gather
14
42751
2655
dan terkadang mereka berkumpul
00:57
at a sacred cave deep inside the forest
15
45406
2750
di sebuah gua keramat
jauh di pelosok hutan
jauh di pelosok hutan
01:00
to celebrate their unity.
16
48156
2492
untuk merayakan persatuan mereka.
01:02
When they arrived,
17
50648
1744
Setibanya di gua itu,
01:04
they would all take off their skins.
18
52392
2528
mereka semua menanggalkan kulit mereka.
01:06
Raven shed his feathers, bear his fur,
19
54920
3524
Gagak dan beruang menanggalkan bulunya,
01:10
and salmon her scales,
20
58444
2463
dan ikan salmon menanggalkan sisiknya.
01:12
and then, they would dance.
21
60907
2922
Lalu, mereka menari.
01:15
But one day, a human made it to the cave
22
63829
3301
Namun pada suatu hari,
seorang manusia datang ke gua itu
seorang manusia datang ke gua itu
dan menertawakan pemandangan
yang dilihatnya
yang dilihatnya
01:19
and laughed at what he saw
23
67130
1584
01:20
because he did not understand.
24
68714
3124
karena ia tidak mengerti.
01:23
Embarrassed, the animals fled,
25
71838
2869
Merasa malu, para binatang itu pergi,
01:26
and that was the last time
26
74707
2227
dan itulah terakhir kalinya
01:28
they revealed themselves this way.
27
76934
3622
mereka menampakkan diri
dalam keadaan seperti itu.
dalam keadaan seperti itu.
01:32
The ancient understanding that underneath
28
80556
2684
Pemahaman kuno bahwa di balik
01:35
their separate identities, all animals are one,
29
83240
2903
identitas mereka yang berbeda-beda,
semua binatang adalah satu,
semua binatang adalah satu,
01:38
has been a powerful inspiration to me.
30
86143
3738
menjadi sebuah inspirasi bagi saya.
01:41
I like to get past the fur, the feathers
31
89881
3063
Saya ingin melihat melampaui
kulit, bulu, dan sisik itu.
01:44
and the scales.
32
92944
1629
01:46
I want to get under the skin.
33
94573
2228
Saya ingin memahami lebih dalam.
01:48
No matter whether I'm facing a giant elephant
34
96801
2800
Entah saya sedang
menghadapi seekor gajah besar
menghadapi seekor gajah besar
01:51
or a tiny tree frog,
35
99601
2148
atau seekor katak pohon kecil,
01:53
my goal is to connect us with them, eye to eye.
36
101749
6892
tujuan saya adalah untuk menghubungkan
kita dengan mereka, secara langsung.
Anda mungkin bertanya-tanya,
02:00
You may wonder, do I ever photograph people?
37
108641
3139
apakah saya pernah mengambil foto manusia?
02:03
Sure. People are always present in my photos,
38
111780
3835
Tentu saja. Selalu ada
manusia di dalam foto-foto saya,
manusia di dalam foto-foto saya,
02:07
no matter whether they appear
39
115615
2127
baik mereka tampil
02:09
to portray tortoises
40
117742
2819
menyerupai kura-kura
02:12
or cougars
41
120561
1813
atau macan
02:14
or lions.
42
122374
1879
atau singa.
Anda hanya perlu belajar
02:16
You just have to learn how
to look past their disguise.
to look past their disguise.
43
124253
4498
untuk melihat di balik topeng mereka.
Sebagai seorang juru foto,
02:20
As a photographer,
44
128751
1734
02:22
I try to reach beyond the differences
45
130485
2815
saya mencoba untuk menjangkau
melampaui perbedaan
dalam susunan genetika kita
dalam susunan genetika kita
02:25
in our genetic makeup
46
133300
1964
02:27
to appreciate all we have in common
47
135264
3597
untuk menghargai semua
kesamaan yang kita miliki
kesamaan yang kita miliki
02:30
with every other living thing.
48
138861
3378
dengan semua makhluk hidup lainnya.
02:34
When I use my camera,
49
142239
2329
Saat saya menggunakan kamera,
02:36
I drop my skin
50
144568
1923
saya menanggalkan kulit saya
02:38
like the animals at that cave
51
146491
2700
seperti binatang-binatang di gua itu
agar saya dapat menunjukkan
02:41
so I can show who they really are.
52
149191
3937
siapa binatang-binatang itu sebenarnya.
02:45
As animals blessed
53
153128
2250
Sebagaimana binatang diberkahi
02:47
with the power of rational thought,
54
155378
3374
dengan kemampuan
untuk berfikir secara rasional,
kita bisa menghargai
betapa rumitnya kehidupan.
betapa rumitnya kehidupan.
02:50
we can marvel at the intricacies of life.
55
158752
4533
Sebagai penduduk sebuah planet
yang bermasalah,
yang bermasalah,
02:55
As citizens of a planet in trouble,
56
163285
2836
02:58
it is our moral responsibility
57
166121
2564
kita berkewajiban secara moral
03:00
to deal with the dramatic loss in diversity of life.
58
168685
5555
untuk mengatasi berkurangnya
keanekaragaman makhluk hidup.
Namun sebagai manusia yang berperasaan,
03:06
But as humans with hearts,
59
174240
1867
03:08
we can all rejoice in the unity of life,
60
176107
3933
kita bisa bergembira
dalam persatuan hidup,
03:12
and perhaps we can change
61
180040
2840
dan mungkin kita bisa mengubah
03:14
what once happened in that sacred cave.
62
182880
3880
apa yang terjadi di gua keramat itu.
03:18
Let's find a way to join the dance.
63
186760
5232
Mari kita cari cara,
untuk ikut menari.
03:23
Thank you.
64
191992
2783
Terima kasih.
(Tepuk tangan)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Frans Lanting - Nature photographerFrans Lanting is one of the greatest nature photographers of our time. His work has been featured in National Geographic, Audubon andTime, as well as numerous award-winning books. Lanting's recent exhibition, The LIFE Project, offers a lyrical interpretation of the history of life on Earth.
Why you should listen
In the pursuit of his work, Frans Lanting has lived in the trees with wild macaws, camped with giant tortoises inside a volcanic crater, and documented never-before-photographed wildlife and tribal traditions in Madagascar. The Dutch-born, California-based photographer has traveled to Botswana's Okavango Delta, the rain forests of Borneo and the home of emperor penguins in Antarctica.
The resulting photographs -- staggering in their beauty, startling in their originality -- have brought much-needed attention to endangered species and ecological crises throughout the world. In 2001, HRH Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands inducted Lanting as a Knight in the Royal Order of the Golden Ark, the country's highest conservation honor -- just one of many honors he has received throughout his illustrious career.
