Po stáročia vnímali ľudia močiare a mokriny ako miesta, ktorým sa treba vyhnúť. Fotograf Mac Stone zdokumentoval príbehy živočíchov vo floridskom nádornom parku Everglades a ukázal, že jeho močiare tu nie sú na to, aby zavadzali, ale naopak – sú americkým národným bohatstvom. Stone svojimi fotografiami, ktoré dokážu vyraziť dych, vrhá nové svetlo na starobylé a významné živočíšne druhy. Jeho odkaz znie: choďte von a zažite to na vlastnej koži. „Skúste to – stúpte do vody,“ vraví. „Močiar vás zmení, to vám sľubujem.“

Mám úžasné privilégium.
00:12
So I've had the great privilege
0

2056
00:14
of traveling to some incredible places,
1
2738
2416
Môžem cestovať na neuveriteľné miesta
a fotografovať vzdialené krajiny
a kultúry na celom svete
a kultúry na celom svete
00:17
photographing these distant landscapes
and remote cultures
and remote cultures

all over the world.

1426
Milujem svoju prácu.
00:22
I love my job.
4
10886
1410
00:24
But people think it's
this string of epiphanies
this string of epiphanies
5
12320
2565
No ľudia si myslia, že moja
práca je sériou zjavení,
práca je sériou zjavení,
00:26
and sunrises and rainbows,
6
14909
2489
východov slnka a dúh,
00:29
when in reality, it looks
more something like this.
more something like this.
7
17422
2764
pričom skutočnosť vyzerá skôr takto.
00:32
(Laughter)
8
20210
1222
(smiech)
00:33
This is my office.
9
21456
1525
Toto je moja kancelária.
00:35
We can't afford the fanciest places
to stay at night,
to stay at night,
10
23473
2631
Nemôžeme si dovoliť luxusné
miesta na spanie,
miesta na spanie,
00:38
so we tend to sleep a lot outdoors.
11
26128
2838
takže zvyčajne spíme veľa vonku.
00:41
As long as we can stay dry,
12
29365
1429
Ak sa nám podarí nepremoknúť,
00:42
that's a bonus.
13
30818
1401
je to dobrý bonus.
00:44
We also can't afford
the fanciest restaurants.
the fanciest restaurants.
14
32243
2405
Nemôžeme si platiť drahé reštaurácie,
00:46
So we tend to eat
whatever's on the local menu.
whatever's on the local menu.
15
34672
2920
takže zjeme všetko, čo je
na lokálnom lístku.
na lokálnom lístku.
00:50
And if you're in the Ecuadorian Páramo,
16
38045
3072
A ak ste práve v ekvádorskom Párame,
00:53
you're going to eat
a large rodent called a cuy.
a large rodent called a cuy.
17
41141
2762
tak to znamená jesť obrovského
hlodavca menom cuy.
hlodavca menom cuy.
00:55
(Laughter)
18
43927
1617
(smiech)
00:57
But what makes our experiences
perhaps a little bit different
perhaps a little bit different
19
45568
3618
Naša skúsenosť je možno trochu iná,
01:01
and a little more unique
than that of the average person
than that of the average person
20
49210
2722
možno trochu odlišná od skúsenosti
bežného človeka,
bežného človeka,
01:03
is that we have this gnawing thing
in the back of our mind
in the back of our mind
21
51956
3456
vďaka jedinej myšlienke,
ktorá nás neustále hryzie.
ktorá nás neustále hryzie.
01:07
that even in our darkest moments,
and those times of despair,
and those times of despair,
22
55436
3917
Až tak, že aj v najhorších
momentoch zúfalstva
momentoch zúfalstva
01:11
we think, "Hey, there might be
an image to be made here,
an image to be made here,
23
59377
3902
si hovoríme „Hej, tu by mohol
vzniknúť záber,
vzniknúť záber,
01:15
there might be a story to be told."
24
63303
2123
tu môže byť príbeh, ktorý
sa dá vyrozprávať“.
sa dá vyrozprávať“.
01:18
And why is storytelling important?
25
66164
1917
Prečo je rozprávanie príbehov dôležité?
01:20
Well, it helps us to connect with our
cultural and our natural heritage.
cultural and our natural heritage.
26
68509
4530
Pretože nám pomáha spojiť sa s naším
kultúrnym a prírodným dedičstvom.
kultúrnym a prírodným dedičstvom.
01:25
And in the Southeast,
27
73063
1159
A na juhovýchode alarmujúco chýba
vzťah medzi verejnosťou a prírodou,
vzťah medzi verejnosťou a prírodou,
01:26
there's an alarming disconnect
between the public
between the public
28
74246
3058
ktorá nám umožňuje tu vôbec byť.
01:29
and the natural areas that allow
us to be here in the first place.
us to be here in the first place.
29
77328
3723
01:33
We're visual creatures,
30
81770
2205
Sme vizuálne tvory.
01:35
so we use what we see
to teach us what we know.
to teach us what we know.
31
83999
3352
Všetko, čo vidíme, je zdrojom toho,
čo sa naučíme.
čo sa naučíme.
01:39
Now the majority of us
aren't going to willingly go
aren't going to willingly go
32
87773
2398
Ale väčšina z nás sa nepôjde dobrovoľne
01:42
way down to a swamp.
33
90195
1652
prechádzať do močarísk.
01:44
So how can we still expect
those same people to then advocate
those same people to then advocate
34
92638
3594
Takže ako môžeme od väčšiny očakávať,
že bude bojovať
že bude bojovať
01:48
on behalf of their protection?
35
96256
1718
za ich ochranu?
01:50
We can't.
36
98410
1174
Nemôžeme.
01:51
So my job, then, is to use photography
as a communication tool,
as a communication tool,
37
99608
4245
Preto je mojou úlohou využiť fotografiu
ako prostriedok komunikácie.
ako prostriedok komunikácie.
01:55
to help bridge the gap
between the science and the aesthetics,
between the science and the aesthetics,
38
103877
3975
Preklenúť vzdialenosť
medzi vedcami a estétmi,
medzi vedcami a estétmi,
01:59
to get people talking,
39
107876
1618
podporiť ľudí v rozhovoroch,
02:01
to get them thinking,
40
109518
1369
podporiť ľudí k mysleniu,
02:02
and to hopefully, ultimately,
41
110911
1657
a nakoniec snáď aj docieliť,
aby sa ľudia začali starať.
aby sa ľudia začali starať.
02:04
get them caring.
42

Začal som pred 15 rokmi tu v Gainesville,
vo svojej záhrade.
vo svojej záhrade.
02:06
I started doing this 15 years ago
right here in Gainesville,
right here in Gainesville,
43
114841
2910
02:09
right here in my backyard.
44
117775
1875
Zamiloval som si dobrodružstvo
a objavovanie,
a objavovanie,
02:11
And I fell in love
with adventure and discovery,
with adventure and discovery,
45
119674
2848
02:14
going to explore
all these different places
all these different places
46
122546
2057
odhaľovanie najrôznejších miest,
02:16
that were just minutes
from my front doorstep.
from my front doorstep.
47
124627
2293
ktoré boli vzdialené len
pár minút od mojich dverí.
pár minút od mojich dverí.
02:18
There are a lot
of beautiful places to find.
of beautiful places to find.
48
126944
2588
Je tam toľko nádherných miest.
02:21
Despite all these years that have passed,
49
129872
2302
Napriek tomu, že čas letí,
02:24
I still see the world
through the eyes of a child
through the eyes of a child
50
132198
2294
stále vidím svet detskými očami
02:26
and I try to incorporate
that sense of wonderment
that sense of wonderment
51
134516
2853
a naďalej sa snažím vniesť očarenie
02:29
and that sense of curiosity
into my photography
into my photography
52
137393
4681
a zvedavosť aj do mojich fotografií
02:34
as often as I can.
53
142098
1750
tak často, ako je to možné.
02:37
And we're pretty lucky
because here in the South,
because here in the South,
54
145006
2298
A máme poriadne šťastie,
pretože tu na juhu
pretože tu na juhu
02:39
we're still blessed
with a relatively blank canvas
with a relatively blank canvas
55
147328
3072
sme stále požehnaní relatívne
prázdnym plátnom,
prázdnym plátnom,
02:42
that we can fill with the most
fanciful adventures
fanciful adventures
56
150424
3184
ktoré môžeme vyplniť vzrušujúcimi
dobrodružstvami
dobrodružstvami
02:45
and incredible experiences.
57
153632
2447
a neuveriteľnými zážitkami.
02:48
It's just a matter of how far
our imagination will take us.
our imagination will take us.
58
156103
3944
Je to len otázka toho, ako ďaleko
pustíme svoju fantáziu.
pustíme svoju fantáziu.
02:52
See, a lot of people
look at this and they say,
look at this and they say,
59
160402
2199
Napríklad, veľa ľudí
sa pozrie na toto a povie si:
sa pozrie na toto a povie si:
02:54
"Oh yeah, wow, that's a pretty tree."
60
162625
1778
„Áno, hej, to je pekný strom.“
02:56
But I don't just see a tree --
61
164427
1471
Ale ja nevidím len strom –
02:57
I look at this and I see opportunity.
62
165922
2579
Ja v tom vidím príležitosť.
03:00
I see an entire weekend.
63
168525
1597
Vidím celý víkend.
03:03
Because when I was a kid,
these were the types of images
these were the types of images
64
171122
2637
Pretože keď som bol malý,
presne takéto obrázky
presne takéto obrázky
03:05
that got me off the sofa
and dared me to explore,
and dared me to explore,
65
173783
2468
ma zodvihli z gauča a
donútili ma objavovať,
donútili ma objavovať,
03:08
dared me to go find the woods
66
176275
1441
vytiahli ma do lesa, aby som
03:09
and put my head underwater
and see what we have.
and see what we have.
67
177740
2895
ponoril hlavu do vody
a zistil, čo tu máme.
a zistil, čo tu máme.
03:13
And folks, I've been photographing
all over the world
all over the world
68
181433
2801
Priatelia, fotografoval som
po celom svete.
po celom svete.
03:16
and I promise you,
69
184258
1341
A môžem vám povedať,
03:17
what we have here in the South,
70
185623
1495
že to, čo máme tu na juhu,
03:19
what we have in the Sunshine State,
71
187142
1681
čo máme v Sunshine State,
03:20
rivals anything else that I've seen.
72
188847
2295
pokorí čokoľvek na svete,
čo som doteraz videl.
čo som doteraz videl.
03:23
But yet our tourism industry is busy
promoting all the wrong things.
promoting all the wrong things.
73
191943
4012
Náš turistický priemysel zatiaľ promuje
úplne nesprávne veci.
úplne nesprávne veci.
03:28
Before most kids are 12,
they'll have been to Disney World
they'll have been to Disney World
74
196698
2731
Väčšina deti, ktoré ešte nemali 12,
bola viackrát v Disney Worlde,
bola viackrát v Disney Worlde,
03:31
more times than they've been in a canoe
75
199453
1961
než na plavbe v kanoe
03:33
or camping under a starry sky.
76
201438
2842
alebo kempovať pod holým nebom.
03:36
And I have nothing against Disney
or Mickey; I used to go there, too.
or Mickey; I used to go there, too.
77
204816
3547
A nemám nič proti Disneymu alebo
Mickeymu; aj ja som tam chodil.
Mickeymu; aj ja som tam chodil.
03:40
But they're missing out on those
fundamental connections
fundamental connections
78
208387
2659
Ale prichádzajú o to
najprirodzenejšie spojenie,
najprirodzenejšie spojenie,
03:43
that create a real sense
of pride and ownership
of pride and ownership
79
211070
3222
ktoré vytvára zmysel pre
hrdosť a vlastníctvo
hrdosť a vlastníctvo
03:46
for the place that they call home.
80
214316
2103
miesta, ktoré volajú domovom.
03:49
And this is compounded by the issue
that the landscapes
that the landscapes
81
217251
3039
A je to aj preto, že naša krajina,
03:52
that define our natural heritage
82
220314
2109
ktorá definuje naše prírodné dedičstvo
03:54
and fuel our aquifer
for our drinking water
for our drinking water
83
222447
2976
a je zdrojom našej pitnej vody,
03:57
have been deemed as scary
and dangerous and spooky.
and dangerous and spooky.
84
225447
4443
je neprávom označovaná za desivú,
nebezpečnú a strašidelnú.
nebezpečnú a strašidelnú.
04:02
When our ancestors first came here,
85
230329
1753
Keď sem prišli naši prví predkovia,
04:04
they warned, "Stay out
of these areas, they're haunted.
of these areas, they're haunted.
86
232106
2636
vraveli „Nechoďte na tieto miesta,
sú strašidelné.
sú strašidelné.
04:06
They're full of evil spirits and ghosts."
87
234766
3097
Sú plné zlých duchov a strašidiel.“
Neviem, kde na to prišli.
04:09
I don't know where
they came up with that idea.
they came up with that idea.
88
237887
2346
(smiech)
04:12
But it's actually led
to a very real disconnect,
to a very real disconnect,
89
240804
2632
Ale docielili veľmi reálne odpojenie,
04:15
a very real negative mentality
90
243460
1761
skutočne negatívne nastavenie,
04:17
that has kept the public
disinterested, silent,
disinterested, silent,
91
245245
3578
pre ktoré verejnosť nemá záujem, je ticho
04:20
and ultimately, our environment at risk.
92
248847
2565
a v konečnom dôsledku trpí
naše životné prostredie.
naše životné prostredie.
04:24
We're a state that's surrounded
and defined by water,
and defined by water,
93
252523
3452
Žijeme v štáte, ktorý je obklopený
a definovaný vodou.
a definovaný vodou.
04:27
and yet for centuries,
94
255999
1276
Napriek tomu po stáročia
vnímame močiare a mokrade
vnímame močiare a mokrade
04:29
swamps and wetlands have been regarded
95
257299
1893
ako prekážky, ktoré treba odstrániť.
04:31
as these obstacles to overcome.
96
259216
2707
04:34
And so we've treated them
as these second-class ecosystems,
as these second-class ecosystems,
97
262367
3982
Správame sa k nim ako
k druhoradému ekosystému,
k druhoradému ekosystému,
04:38
because they have
very little monetary value
very little monetary value
98
266373
2264
pretože sa len ťažko dajú speňažiť.
04:40
and of course, they're known
to harbor alligators and snakes --
to harbor alligators and snakes --
99
268661
3685
A samozrejme, sú domovom
aligátorov a hadov,
aligátorov a hadov,
04:44
which, I'll admit, these aren't
the most cuddly of ambassadors.
the most cuddly of ambassadors.
100
272370
3298
ktorí, uznávam, nie sú práve
najmilšími propagátormi.
najmilšími propagátormi.
04:47
(Laughter)
101
275692
1136
(smiech)
04:48
So it became assumed, then,
that the only good swamp
that the only good swamp
102
276852
2778
Takže všetci si teraz myslia,
že jediný dobrý močiar
že jediný dobrý močiar
04:51
was a drained swamp.
103
279654
1318
je suchý močiar.
04:53
And in fact,
104
281364
1151
A v skutočnosti,
04:54
draining a swamp to make way
for agriculture and development
for agriculture and development
105
282539
3411
vysúšanie močiarov za účelom
poľnohospodárstva
poľnohospodárstva
04:57
was considered the very essence
of conservation not too long ago.
of conservation not too long ago.
106
285974
3913
len donedávna považovali za základ
ochrany prírody.
ochrany prírody.
05:02
But now we're backpedaling,
107
290522
1546
Lenže teraz sa vraciame späť.
05:04
because the more we come to learn
about these sodden landscapes,
about these sodden landscapes,
108
292092
3351
Čím viac zisťujeme o týchto
mokrých oblastiach,
mokrých oblastiach,
05:07
the more secrets we're starting to unlock
109
295467
1966
tým viac tajomstiev nám odhaľujú
05:09
about interspecies relationships
110
297457
2363
o medzidruhových vzťahoch
05:11
and the connectivity of habitats,
watersheds and flyways.
watersheds and flyways.
111
299844
4550
a spojitosti medzi habitatmi, povodiami
a letovými dráhami.
a letovými dráhami.
05:17
Take this bird, for example:
112
305040
1985
Napríklad tento vták:
05:19
this is the prothonotary warbler.
113
307049
1888
Je to penica.
05:20
I love this bird because
it's a swamp bird,
it's a swamp bird,
114
308961
2186
Zbožňujem ho, lebo je to močiarny vták.
05:23
through and through, a swamp bird.
115
311171
1704
Skrz-naskrz močiarny.
05:24
They nest and they mate and they breed
in these old-growth swamps
in these old-growth swamps
116
312899
3648
Stavia si hniezdo a množí sa v týchto
starobylých močiaroch,
starobylých močiaroch,
05:28
in these flooded forests.
117
316571
1464
v týchto zaplavených lesoch.
05:30
And so after the spring,
after they raise their young,
after they raise their young,
118
318059
2548
Keď sa skončí jar, keď mláďatá odrastú,
05:32
they then fly thousand of miles
over the Gulf of Mexico
over the Gulf of Mexico
119
320631
2805
penice odlietajú cez Mexický záliv
tisíce míľ
tisíce míľ
05:35
into Central and South America.
120
323460
1949
do strednej a južnej Ameriky.
05:37
And then after the winter,
121
325806
1252
Po zime sa zjaví jar a s ňou
sa vracajú späť.
sa vracajú späť.
05:39
the spring rolls around
and they come back.
and they come back.
122
327082
2015
Letia tisícky míľ cez Mexický záliv.
05:41
They fly thousands of miles
over the Gulf of Mexico.
over the Gulf of Mexico.
123
329121
2899
05:44
And where do they go? Where do they land?
124
332044
2906
A kam priletia? Kde pristanú?
05:47
Right back in the same tree.
125
335474
2516
Presne na tom istom strome.
05:50
That's nuts.
126
338686
1150
Je to uletené.
05:52
This is a bird the size
of a tennis ball --
of a tennis ball --
127
340151
3347
Vtáčik veľký ako tenisová loptička.
05:55
I mean, that's crazy!
128
343522
1677
Podľa mňa je to šialené.
05:57
I used a GPS to get here today,
129
345223
2550
Dnes som potreboval GPS,
aby som prišiel sem.
aby som prišiel sem.
05:59
and this is my hometown.
130
347797
1667
A toto je moje rodné mesto.
06:01
(Laughter)
131
349488
1271
(smiech)
06:02
It's crazy.
132
350783
1157
Bláznivé.
06:04
So what happens, then, when this bird
flies over the Gulf of Mexico
flies over the Gulf of Mexico
133
352374
3690
Takže čo sa stane potom, keď tento
vták letí cez Mexický záliv
vták letí cez Mexický záliv
06:08
into Central America for the winter
134
356088
1868
na zimu do strednej Ameriky,
06:09
and then the spring rolls around
and it flies back,
and it flies back,
135
357980
2441
a potom príde jar a on sa vráti
06:12
and it comes back to this:
136
360445
2767
a nájde toto:
06:15
a freshly sodded golf course?
137
363236
1894
čerstvo vybudované golfové ihrisko?
06:17
This is a narrative that's
all too commonly unraveling
all too commonly unraveling
138
365942
2589
Takýto príbeh je v tomto
štáte príliš bežný
štáte príliš bežný
06:20
here in this state.
139
368555
1187
06:21
And this is a natural process
that's occurred for thousands of years
that's occurred for thousands of years
140
369766
3239
Toto je prírodný proces,
ktorý sa dial po tisícky rokov
ktorý sa dial po tisícky rokov
06:25
and we're just now learning about it.
141
373029
1778
a my sa o ňom dozvedáme len teraz.
06:26
So you can imagine all else we have
to learn about these landscapes
to learn about these landscapes
142
374831
3163
Predstavte si, čo sa môžeme ešte
naučiť o prírodných oblastiach,
naučiť o prírodných oblastiach,
06:30
if we just preserve them first.
143
378018
1858
ak ich najskôr nezničíme.
06:31
Now despite all this rich life
that abounds in these swamps,
that abounds in these swamps,
144
379900
4531
Aj napriek bohatému životu,
ktorý obýva močiare,
ktorý obýva močiare,
06:36
they still have a bad name.
145
384455
1824
stále majú zlé meno.
06:38
Many people feel uncomfortable
with the idea of wading
with the idea of wading
146
386828
3666
Ľuďom sa nepáči predstava,
že by sa mali brodiť
že by sa mali brodiť
06:42
into Florida's blackwater.
147
390518
1664
tmavými vodami Floridy.
06:44
I can understand that.
148
392206
1789
Chápem ich.
06:46
But what I loved about growing up
in the Sunshine State
in the Sunshine State
149
394019
3141
Ale čo som zbožňoval
na detstve v Sunshine State
na detstve v Sunshine State
06:49
is that for so many of us,
150
397184
1282
je, že mnohí sme žili
06:50
we live with this latent
but very palpable fear
but very palpable fear
151
398490
3789
v latentnom, ale veľmi prítomnom strachu,
06:54
that when we put our toes into the water,
152
402303
2341
že keď ponoríme palec do tej vody,
06:56
there might be something much more ancient
153
404668
2982
môžeme stretnúť niečo veľmi starobylé
06:59
and much more adapted than we are.
154
407674
2137
a oveľa odolnejšie než sme my.
07:02
Knowing that you're not top dog
is a welcomed discomfort, I think.
is a welcomed discomfort, I think.
155
410664
4799
Myšlienka, že nie sme tí najsilnejší,
je prospešný diskomfort, aspoň podľa mňa.
je prospešný diskomfort, aspoň podľa mňa.
07:08
How often in this modern
and urban and digital age
and urban and digital age
156
416082
3886
Veď ako často v dnešnej modernej,
mestskej a digitálnej dobe
mestskej a digitálnej dobe
07:11
do you actually get the chance
to feel vulnerable,
to feel vulnerable,
157
419992
3644
dostanete možnosť cítiť sa zraniteľní?
07:15
or consider that the world may not
have been made for just us?
have been made for just us?
158
423660
4166
Alebo pocítiť, že svet možno nebol
stvorený len a výlučne pre nás?
stvorený len a výlučne pre nás?
07:19
So for the last decade,
159
427850
1282
V posledných 10 rokoch som
07:21
I began seeking out these areas
where the concrete yields to forest
where the concrete yields to forest
160
429156
3395
začal vyhľadávať tieto oblasti,
kde sa betón mení v les
kde sa betón mení v les
07:24
and the pines turn to cypress,
161
432575
2178
a borovice prechádzajú do cyprusov
07:26
and I viewed all these
mosquitoes and reptiles,
mosquitoes and reptiles,
162
434777
3645
a pozeral som sa na všetky tie
komáre a plazy,
komáre a plazy,
07:30
all these discomforts,
163
438446
1499
všetky tieto nepríjemnosti,
07:31
as affirmations that I'd found
true wilderness,
true wilderness,
164
439969
3532
ako na dôkaz, že som našiel
skutočnú divočinu
skutočnú divočinu
07:35
and I embrace them wholly.
165
443525
2160
a úplne som ich prijal.
07:37
Now as a conservation photographer
obsessed with blackwater,
obsessed with blackwater,
166
445709
3403
Ako enviromentálnemu fotografovi
posadnutému močiarmi
posadnutému močiarmi
07:41
it's only fitting that I'd
eventually end up
eventually end up
167
449136
2120
mi bolo súdené nakoniec skončiť
07:43
in the most famous swamp of all:
168
451280
2177
v tom najslávnejšom močiari:
07:45
the Everglades.
169
453481
1250
v Everglades.
07:47
Growing up here in North Central Florida,
170
455144
1969
Keď som vyrastal na severe
centrálnej Floridy,
centrálnej Floridy,
07:49
it always had these enchanted names,
171
457137
1730
vždy mali pre mňa čarovný nádych
07:50
places like Loxahatchee and Fakahatchee,
172
458891
3342
miesta ako Loxahatchee a Fakahatchee,
07:54
Corkscrew, Big Cypress.
173
462257
2122
Corkscrew, Big Cypress.
07:56
I started what turned
into a five-year project
into a five-year project
174
464403
3540
Začal som s niečím, čo prerástlo
v päť rokov trvajúci projekt.
v päť rokov trvajúci projekt.
07:59
to hopefully reintroduce
the Everglades in a new light,
the Everglades in a new light,
175
467967
3750
Chcel som nanovo predstaviť
Everglades v lepšom svetle,
Everglades v lepšom svetle,
08:03
in a more inspired light.
176
471741
1681
v inšpirujúcom svetle.
08:05
But I knew this would be a tall order,
because here you have an area
because here you have an area
177
473922
3225
Vedel som, že to bude tvrdý orech,
lebo je to územie,
lebo je to územie,
08:09
that's roughly a third the size
the state of Florida, it's huge.
the state of Florida, it's huge.
178
477171
3029
ktoré zaberá asi tretinu
štátu Florida, je obrovské.
štátu Florida, je obrovské.
08:12
And when I say Everglades,
179
480224
1277
Pri slove Everglades mi väčšina povedala:
„Viem, ten národný park.“
„Viem, ten národný park.“
08:13
most people are like,
"Oh, yeah, the national park."
"Oh, yeah, the national park."
180
481525
2468
Ale Everglades nie je len park.
08:16
But the Everglades is not just a park;
it's an entire watershed,
it's an entire watershed,
181
484017
5013
Je to celé povodie, ktoré sa začína
sieťou jazier Kissimmee na severe.
sieťou jazier Kissimmee na severe.
08:21
starting with the Kissimmee
chain of lakes in the north,
chain of lakes in the north,
182
489054
3005
08:24
and then as the rains
would fall in the summer,
would fall in the summer,
183
492083
2225
A keď v lete padnú dažde,
08:26
these downpours would flow
into Lake Okeechobee,
into Lake Okeechobee,
184
494332
2632
tieto zrážky tečú do jazera Okeechobee,
jazero Okeechobee sa naplní
a jeho brehy sa zalejú
a jeho brehy sa zalejú
08:28
and Lake Okeechobee would fill up
and it would overflow its banks
and it would overflow its banks
185
496988
3247
08:32
and spill southward, ever slowly,
with the topography,
with the topography,
186
500259
3274
a rozlejú sa južne a (s touto topografiou)
neskutočne pomaly
neskutočne pomaly
08:35
and get into the river of grass,
the Sawgrass Prairies,
the Sawgrass Prairies,
187
503557
2596
a dostanú sa do riečnej trávy
v prérii Sawgrass,
v prérii Sawgrass,
08:38
before meting into the cypress slews,
188
506177
2045
než narazia na húštiny cyprusov,
08:40
until going further south
into the mangrove swamps,
into the mangrove swamps,
189
508246
2687
a potom nižšie na juhu zasiahnu
mangrové močiare,
mangrové močiare,
08:42
and then finally -- finally --
reaching Florida Bay,
reaching Florida Bay,
190
510957
3750
a potom konečne – konečne –
dosiahnu Floridský záliv.
dosiahnu Floridský záliv.
08:46
the emerald gem of the Everglades,
191
514731
1773
Smaragdový klenot Everglades.
08:48
the great estuary,
192
516528
1183
Veľké ústie o rozlohe 850 štvorcových míľ.
08:49
the 850 square-mile estuary.
193
517735
2253
08:52
So sure, the national park
is the southern end of this system,
is the southern end of this system,
194
520464
4333
Takže iste, národný park je
južný koniec tohto systému,
južný koniec tohto systému,
08:56
but all the things that make it unique
are these inputs that come in,
are these inputs that come in,
195
524821
3303
ale všetko, čo ho robí výnimočným,
sú faktory, ktoré doň vstupujú,
sú faktory, ktoré doň vstupujú,
09:00
the fresh water that starts
100 miles north.
100 miles north.
196
528148
2807
sú to čerstvé povodia,
ktoré pramenia 100 míľ severne.
ktoré pramenia 100 míľ severne.
Takže žiadne politické ani
neviditeľné pravidlá
neviditeľné pravidlá
09:02
So no manner of these political
or invisible boundaries
or invisible boundaries
197
530979
3265
neochraňujú park pred znečistením
alebo nedostatkom vody.
alebo nedostatkom vody.
09:06
protect the park from polluted water
or insufficient water.
or insufficient water.
198
534268
4387
Bohužiaľ, presne to sme spôsobili.
09:11
And unfortunately, that's precisely
what we've done.
what we've done.
199
539242
2826
V ostatných 60 rokoch
09:14
Over the last 60 years,
200
542630
1533
09:16
we have drained, we have dammed,
we have dredged the Everglades
we have dredged the Everglades
201
544187
3357
sme vyčerpali, zasypali
a zničili Everglades tak,
a zničili Everglades tak,
09:19
to where now only one third of the water
that used to reach the bay
that used to reach the bay
202
547568
3981
že dnes len tretina z vody,
ktorá sa vlievala do zálivu,
ktorá sa vlievala do zálivu,
09:23
now reaches the bay today.
203
551573
2007
sa doň vleje dnes.
Takže, bohužiaľ, tento príbeh
nie je o slniečku a dúhe.
nie je o slniečku a dúhe.
09:26
So this story is not all sunshine
and rainbows, unfortunately.
and rainbows, unfortunately.
204
554586
3668
09:30
For better or for worse,
205
558953
1886
V dobrom aj zlom,
príbeh Everglades je vnútorne spätý
09:32
the story of the Everglades
is intrinsically tied
is intrinsically tied
206
560863
3417
s vrcholmi a údoliami ľudského vzťahu
s prírodným svetom
s prírodným svetom
09:36
to the peaks and the valleys
of mankind's relationship
of mankind's relationship
207
564304
3196
09:39
with the natural world.
208
567524
1340
09:41
But I'll show you
these beautiful pictures,
these beautiful pictures,
209
569255
2025
Ale ukážem vám tieto krásne fotografie,
pretože tým vás dostanem na palubu.
09:43
because it gets you on board.
210
571304
1461
09:44
And while I have your attention,
I can tell you the real story.
I can tell you the real story.
211
572789
3128
A kým mám vašu pozornosť, môžem vám
vyrozprávať skutočný príbeh.
vyrozprávať skutočný príbeh.
A ten je, že ničíme toto
09:47
It's that we're taking this,
212
575941
1951
09:49
and we're trading it for this,
213
577916
2963
a vymieňame za toto.
Alarmujúcou rýchlosťou.
09:52
at an alarming rate.
214
580903
1495
09:55
And what's lost on so many people
215
583358
1710
A čo mnohí ľudia nechápu,
09:57
is the sheer scale
of which we're discussing.
of which we're discussing.
216
585092
2511
je skutočný dopad toho, o čom tu hovoríme.
09:59
Because the Everglades is not just
responsible for the drinking water
responsible for the drinking water
217
587627
3428
Pretože Everglades nie je len
zdrojom pitnej vody
zdrojom pitnej vody
10:03
for 7 million Floridians;
218
591079
2204
pre 7 miliónov obyvateľov Floridy;
10:05
today it also provides
the agricultural fields
the agricultural fields
219
593307
2538
ale dnes predstavuje aj
polia pre pestovanie
polia pre pestovanie
10:07
for the year-round tomatoes and oranges
220
595869
2559
ročnej úrody rajčín a pomarančov
10:10
for over 300 million Americans.
221
598452
2831
pre 300 miliónov Američanov.
10:14
And it's that same seasonal pulse
of water in the summer
of water in the summer
222
602391
3314
Ten istý sezónny letný prítok vody,
10:17
that built the river of grass
6,000 years ago.
6,000 years ago.
223
605729
3893
ktorý pred 6 000 rokmi spôsobil
bujný rast vodnej trávy,
bujný rast vodnej trávy,
je dnes ironicky zodpovedný
za pol milióna akrov
za pol milióna akrov
10:22
Ironically, today, it's also responsible
for the over half a million acres
for the over half a million acres
224
610284
4378
10:26
of the endless river of sugarcane.
225
614686
2455
nekonečnej záplavy cukrovej trstiny.
Na tých istých poliach, kde sme
10:29
These are the same fields
that are responsible
that are responsible
226
617899
2169
10:32
for dumping exceedingly high levels
of fertilizers into the watershed,
of fertilizers into the watershed,
227
620092
4024
sypaním prehnane vysokého
množstva hnojív do vody
množstva hnojív do vody
10:36
forever changing the system.
228
624140
2163
navždy zmenili systém.
10:38
But in order for you to not just
understand how this system works,
understand how this system works,
229
626749
3212
Aby ste nielen pochopili,
fungovanie tohto systému,
fungovanie tohto systému,
10:41
but to also get personally
connected to it,
connected to it,
230
629985
2063
ale aj pocítili osobné spojenie,
10:44
I decided to break the story down
into several different narratives.
into several different narratives.
231
632072
3275
rozhodol som sa rozmeniť tento príbeh
na niekoľko menších.
na niekoľko menších.
10:47
And I wanted that story to start
in Lake Okeechobee,
in Lake Okeechobee,
232
635371
2788
Chcel som, aby sa začal
v jazere Okeechobee,
v jazere Okeechobee,
10:50
the beating heart of the Everglade system.
233
638183
2747
v pulzujúcom srdci systému Everglades.
10:52
And to do that, I picked an ambassador,
234
640954
2463
Reprezentuje ma preto jeden ikonický druh
10:55
an iconic species.
235
643441
1249
Toto je hákozobec družný.
10:57
This is the Everglade snail kite.
236
645204
1992
10:59
It's a great bird,
237
647720
1246
Je to úžasný vták,
11:00
and they used to nest in the thousands,
238
648990
1874
ktorý v severných Everglades
11:02
thousands in the northern Everglades.
239
650888
1803
hniezdil v tisícoch a tisícoch.
11:04
And then they've gone down
to about 400 nesting pairs today.
to about 400 nesting pairs today.
240
652715
3504
Dnes máme okolo 400 hniezdiacich párov.
11:08
And why is that?
241
656243
1345
A prečo?
11:09
Well, it's because they eat
one source of food, an apple snail,
one source of food, an apple snail,
242
657612
3124
No preto, že sa živia
jedine slimákom jablkovým
jedine slimákom jablkovým
11:12
about the size of a ping-pong ball,
an aquatic gastropod.
an aquatic gastropod.
243
660760
3401
veľkosti pingpongovej loptičky,
je to vodný slimák.
je to vodný slimák.
11:16
So as we started damming up
the Everglades,
the Everglades,
244
664185
3225
Ako sme začali ohraďovať Everglades,
11:19
as we started diking Lake Okeechobee
and draining the wetlands,
and draining the wetlands,
245
667434
3477
stavať priehrady v jazere Okeechobee
a vysúšať mokrade,
a vysúšať mokrade,
11:22
we lost the habitat for the snail.
246
670935
2112
stratili sme habitat slimáka.
11:25
And thus, the population
of the kites declined.
of the kites declined.
247
673071
2792
A populácia hákozobcov klesla.
11:28
And so, I wanted a photo that would
not only communicate this relationship
not only communicate this relationship
248
676454
3496
Preto som chcel fotku, ktorá by
nielen vysvetľovala vzťah
nielen vysvetľovala vzťah
11:31
between wetland, snail and bird,
249
679974
3089
medzi mokrinami, slimákom a vtákom,
ale aj fotku, ktorá by ukázala,
11:35
but I also wanted a photo
that would communicate
that would communicate
250
683087
2249
11:37
how incredible this relationship was,
251
685360
2794
aký to bol úžasný vzťah,
11:40
and how very important it is
that they've come to depend on each other,
that they've come to depend on each other,
252
688178
4156
aké veľmi dôležité je, že na sebe závisia,
11:44
this healthy wetland and this bird.
253
692358
1667
zdravý močiar a tento vták.
11:46
And to do that, I brainstormed this idea.
254
694049
1972
Začal som tento nápad brainstormovať.
11:48
I started sketching
out these plans to make a photo,
out these plans to make a photo,
255
696045
3238
Načrtol som plány na fotografiu
11:51
and I sent it to the wildlife biologist
down in Okeechobee --
down in Okeechobee --
256
699307
2887
a poslal som ich biológovi v Okeechobee –
11:54
this is an endangered bird,
so it takes special permission to do.
so it takes special permission to do.
257
702218
3087
je to ohrozený vták, takže som potreboval
špeciálne povolenie.
špeciálne povolenie.
11:57
So I built this submerged platform
258
705329
1694
Vybudoval som platfomu, ktorá by
udržala slimákov tesne pod hladinou.
udržala slimákov tesne pod hladinou.
11:59
that would hold snails
just right under the water.
just right under the water.
259
707047
2482
12:01
And I spent months planning
this crazy idea.
this crazy idea.
260
709553
4458
Strávil som mesiace plánovaním
tejto šialenej myšlienky.
tejto šialenej myšlienky.
Priniesol som platformu k jazeru
a strávil viac než týždeň vo vode.
a strávil viac než týždeň vo vode.
12:06
And I took this platform
down to Lake Okeechobee
down to Lake Okeechobee
261
714035
2976
12:09
and I spent over a week in the water,
262
717035
2072
brodil som sa od úsvitu
do súmraku 9 hodín denne,
do súmraku 9 hodín denne,
12:11
wading waist-deep,
9-hour shifts from dawn until dusk,
9-hour shifts from dawn until dusk,
263
719131
3716
12:14
to get one image that I thought
might communicate this.
might communicate this.
264
722871
3160
aby som spravil záber,
ktorý ilustruje ich vzťah.
ktorý ilustruje ich vzťah.
12:18
And here's the day that it finally worked:
265
726055
2215
A jedného dňa to konečne zabralo:
12:20
[Video: (Mac Stone narrating)
After setting up the platform,
After setting up the platform,
266
728294
2857
[Video: (Mac Stone hovorí)
Nachystal som platformu,
Nachystal som platformu,
12:23
I look off and I see a kite
coming over the cattails.
coming over the cattails.
267
731175
2537
a v tom som zazrel vtáka letieť z trávy.
12:25
And I see him scanning and searching.
268
733736
1922
Videl som ako skenuje a hľadá.
12:27
And he gets right over the trap,
269
735682
1605
Dostal sa priamo nad korisť,
12:29
and I see that he's seen it.
270
737311
1521
videl som, že ju zbadal.
12:30
And he beelines,
he goes straight for the trap.
he goes straight for the trap.
271
738856
2723
A priamou čiarou sa vrhol ku koristi.
12:33
And in that moment,
all those months of planning, waiting,
all those months of planning, waiting,
272
741603
3156
A v tej chvíli, po m,esiacoch
plánovania a čakania
plánovania a čakania
12:36
all the sunburn, mosquito bites --
273
744783
2110
po spáleninách a štípancoch od komárov –
12:38
suddenly, they're all worth it.
274
746917
2538
zrazu to všetko stálo za to.
12:41
(Mac Stone in film) Oh my gosh,
I can't believe it!]
I can't believe it!]
275
749479
3915
(Mac Stone vo filme) Och Bože,
neverím tomu!]
neverím tomu!]
12:45
You can believe how excited I was
when that happened.
when that happened.
276
753695
2597
Viete si predstaviť moje nadšenie,
keď sa to podarilo.
keď sa to podarilo.
12:48
But what the idea was,
277
756316
1340
Ale hlavnou myšlienkou bolo,
12:49
is that for someone
who's never seen this bird
who's never seen this bird
278
757680
2199
že niekto, kto tohto vtáka nikdy nevidel,
12:51
and has no reason to care about it,
279
759903
2070
nemá vôbec dôvod sa oňho starať.
12:53
these photos, these new perspectives,
280
761997
2625
A tieto fotky, tieto nové perspektívy
12:56
will help shed a little new light
on just one species
on just one species
281
764646
3122
prinášajú nové svetlo
na jeden jediný druh,
na jeden jediný druh,
12:59
that makes this watershed
so incredible, so valuable, so important.
so incredible, so valuable, so important.
282
767792
4282
vďaka ktorému sú tieto vodné plochy
také úžasné, dôležité a vzácne.
také úžasné, dôležité a vzácne.
13:04
Now, I know I can't come
here to Gainesville
here to Gainesville
283
772615
2923
Viem ale, že nemôžem prísť do Gainseville
13:07
and talk to you about animals
in the Everglades
in the Everglades
284
775562
2246
a rozprávať vám o zvieratách v Everglades
13:09
without talking about gators.
285
777832
1788
bez toho, aby som spomenul aligátory.
13:11
I love gators, I grew up loving gators.
286
779644
2290
Milujem ich, celé detstvo som
miloval aligátory.
miloval aligátory.
13:14
My parents always said I had
an unhealthy relationship with gators.
an unhealthy relationship with gators.
287
782361
3416
Rodičia mi vraveli, že mám
s aligátormi nezdravý vzťah.
s aligátormi nezdravý vzťah.
13:17
But what I like about them is,
288
785801
1468
Mám ich rád, pretože sú
ako sladkovodné žraloky.
13:19
they're like the freshwater
equivalent of sharks.
equivalent of sharks.
289
787293
2604
Naháňajú strach, ľudia ich nenávidia,
13:21
They're feared, they're hated,
290
789921
1648
ale sú tragicky nepochopené.
13:23
and they are tragically misunderstood.
291
791593
2364
13:26
Because these are a unique species,
they're not just apex predators.
they're not just apex predators.
292
794386
3764
Pretože sú to jedinečné druhy,
nielen predátory.
nielen predátory.
13:30
In the Everglades,
293
798174
1290
V Everglades sú špičkovými architektmi,
13:31
they are the very architects
of the Everglades,
of the Everglades,
294
799488
2494
pretože keď počas suchých období
13:34
because as the water drops
down in the winter
down in the winter
295
802006
2143
13:36
during the dry season,
296
804173
1158
padnú zrážky,
13:37
they start excavating these holes
called gator holes.
called gator holes.
297
805355
3022
oni začnú hĺbiť jamy, aligátorie jamy.
13:40
And they do this because
as the water drops down,
as the water drops down,
298
808401
2310
A robia to preto, že voda sa v nich udrží
13:42
they'll be able to stay wet
and they'll be able to forage.
and they'll be able to forage.
299
810735
3387
a oni budú môcť zostať vo vode
a zabezpečia si prežitie.
a zabezpečia si prežitie.
13:46
And now this isn't just affecting them,
300
814645
2319
Týmto nepomáhajú len sebe,
13:48
other animals also depend
on this relationship,
on this relationship,
301
816988
2233
pretože ostatné zvieratá
závisia od ich vzťahu.
závisia od ich vzťahu.
13:51
so they become a keystone species as well.
302
819245
2678
Takže je to kľúčový druh.
13:54
So how do you make an apex predator,
an ancient reptile,
an ancient reptile,
303
822677
4235
Ako docieliť, aby vrcholný predátor,
prehistorický plaz,
prehistorický plaz,
13:58
at once look like it dominates the system,
304
826936
2478
vyzeral, že vládne systému
14:01
but at the same time, look vulnerable?
305
829438
2443
a zároveň v tom istom momente
vyzeral zraniteľne?
vyzeral zraniteľne?
14:04
Well, you wade into a pit
of about 120 of them,
of about 120 of them,
306
832706
4043
No, ponoríte sa do jamy,
kde ich je asi 120
kde ich je asi 120
14:08
then you hope that you've made
the right decision.
the right decision.
307
836773
2406
a dúfate, že to bol dobrý nápad.
14:11
(Laughter)
308
839203
1764
(smiech)
14:13
I still have all my fingers, it's cool.
309
841955
1960
Stále mám všetky prsty, je to dobré.
14:16
But I understand, I know
I'm not going to rally you guys,
I'm not going to rally you guys,
310
844677
2702
Ale rozumiem vám a nejdem na vás naliehať
14:19
I'm not going to rally the troops to
"Save the Everglades for the gators!"
"Save the Everglades for the gators!"
311
847403
3610
a nebudem vás všetkých zvolávať:
„Zachráňte Everglades pre aligátory!“
„Zachráňte Everglades pre aligátory!“
14:23
It won't happen because
they're so ubiquitous,
they're so ubiquitous,
312
851037
2198
Nebudem, lebo sú všade.
14:25
we see them now,
313
853259
1151
Vidíme ich.
14:26
they're one of the great conservation
success stories of the US.
success stories of the US.
314
854434
3342
Sú jedným z najväčších úspechov USA.
14:29
But there is one species in the Everglades
that no matter who you are,
that no matter who you are,
315
857800
3326
Ale v Everglades žije ešte jeden druh
a nikto nemôže inak, len ho milovať.
a nikto nemôže inak, len ho milovať.
14:33
you can't help but love, too,
and that's the roseate spoonbill.
and that's the roseate spoonbill.
316
861150
3079
Je to kolpík ružový.
14:36
These birds are great, but they've had
a really tough time in the Everglades,
a really tough time in the Everglades,
317
864253
3631
Tieto vtáky sú úžasné, ale v Everglades
zažívajú ťažké časy.
zažívajú ťažké časy.
14:39
because they started out with thousands
of nesting pairs in Florida Bay,
of nesting pairs in Florida Bay,
318
867908
3466
Začali s tisíckami hniezdiacich párov
14:43
and at the turn of the 20th century,
319
871398
2063
a na prelome 20. storočia
14:45
they got down to two -- two nesting pairs.
320
873485
3592
sa dostali na dva – dva hniezdiace páry.
14:49
And why?
321
877101
1164
Prečo?
14:50
That's because women thought
they looked better on their hats
they looked better on their hats
322
878681
2896
Pretože ženy si mysleli, že lepšie
vyzerajú na klobúkoch
vyzerajú na klobúkoch
14:53
then they did flying in the sky.
323
881601
2013
než vo vzduchu.
14:56
Then we banned the plume trade,
324
884324
2409
Keď sme zakázali obchod s perím,
14:58
and their numbers started rebounding.
325
886757
2118
ich počet začal rásť.
15:00
And as their numbers started rebounding,
326
888899
2025
A ako ich počet rástol,
15:02
scientists began to pay attention,
327
890948
1739
vedci im začali venovať pozornosť,
15:04
they started studying these birds.
328
892711
1713
začali tieto vtáky študovať.
15:06
And what they found out is that
329
894448
1485
No a to, na čo prišli bolo,
15:07
these birds' behavior
is intrinsically tied
is intrinsically tied
330
895957
2158
že správanie týchto vtákov je prepojené
15:10
to the annual draw-down
cycle of water in the Everglades,
cycle of water in the Everglades,
331
898139
2918
s každoročným znížením hladiny
vôd v Everglades,
vôd v Everglades,
15:13
the thing that defines
the Everglades watershed.
the Everglades watershed.
332
901081
2679
presne tým, čo definuje
vodné toky v Everglades.
vodné toky v Everglades.
15:16
What they found out is that
333
904291
1537
Prišli na to,
15:17
these birds started nesting in the winter
as the water drew down,
as the water drew down,
334
905852
3068
že kolpíky začínajú hniezdiť v zime,
keď vody klesnú,
keď vody klesnú,
15:20
because they're tactile feeders,
so they have to touch whatever they eat.
so they have to touch whatever they eat.
335
908944
3580
pretože sa potrebujú
dotýkať svojej potravy.
dotýkať svojej potravy.
15:24
And so they wait for these
concentrated pools of fish
concentrated pools of fish
336
912548
3098
Čakajú, kým sa ryby koncentrujú
v mlákach,
v mlákach,
15:27
to be able to feed enough
to feed their young.
to feed their young.
337
915670
2397
aby mohli nakŕmiť svoje mladé.
15:30
So these birds became the very icon
of the Everglades --
of the Everglades --
338
918877
2989
Tieto vtáky sú ikonou Everglades –
15:33
an indicator species
of the overall health of the system.
of the overall health of the system.
339
921890
3492
sú indikátorom celkového zdravia močiarov.
A v momente, keď ich počet začal
v polovici 20. storočia rásť –
v polovici 20. storočia rásť –
15:37
And just as their numbers were rebounding
in the mid-20th century --
in the mid-20th century --
340
925406
3207
15:40
shooting up to 900, 1,000, 1,100, 1,200 --
341
928637
4649
na 900, 1 000, 1 100, 1 200 –
15:45
just as that started happening, we started
draining the southern Everglades.
draining the southern Everglades.
342
933310
3756
hneď ako sa to začalo, my sme začali
vysúšať južné Everglades.
vysúšať južné Everglades.
15:49
And we stopped two-thirds
of that water from moving south.
of that water from moving south.
343
937090
3504
A zastavili sme dve tretiny vody
tečúcej na juh.
tečúcej na juh.
15:52
And it had drastic consequences.
344
940618
2499
To malo drastické následky.
15:55
And just as those numbers
started reaching their peak,
started reaching their peak,
345
943584
2614
Hneď, ako počet vtákov dosiahol vrchol.
15:58
unfortunately, today,
the real spoonbill story,
the real spoonbill story,
346
946222
3073
Bohužiaľ, dnes, je skutočný
príbeh kolpíka,
príbeh kolpíka,
16:01
the real photo of what it looks like
is more something like this.
is more something like this.
347
949319
4617
skutočná fotografia toho, ako to vyzerá,
asi takáto.
asi takáto.
16:07
And we're down to less than 70
nesting pairs in Florida Bay today,
nesting pairs in Florida Bay today,
348
955007
4616
Vo Floridskom zálive sme opäť na menej
ako 70 hniezdiacich pároch.
ako 70 hniezdiacich pároch.
16:11
because we've disrupted
the system so much.
the system so much.
349
959647
2544
Tak veľmi sme narušili systém.
16:14
So all these different organizations
are shouting, they're screaming,
are shouting, they're screaming,
350
962215
3251
Preto rôzne organizácie kričia, vrieskajú:
16:17
"The Everglades is fragile! It's fragile!"
351
965490
2015
„Everglades sú zraniteľné! Sú krehké!“
16:19
It is not.
352
967529
1151
Nie sú.
16:20
It is resilient.
353
968704
1550
Sú odolné.
16:22
Because despite all we've taken,
despite all we've done and we've drained
despite all we've done and we've drained
354
970278
3492
Pretože napriek všetkému, čo sme spravili,
16:25
and we've dammed and we've dredged it,
355
973794
1839
čo sme zničili, vysušili a vyhĺbili,
16:27
pieces of it are still here,
waiting to be put back together.
waiting to be put back together.
356
975657
2896
časti z Everglades stále žijú
a čakajú na záchranu.
a čakajú na záchranu.
16:30
And this is what I've loved
about South Florida,
about South Florida,
357
978577
2254
Miloval som Južnú Floridu,
16:32
that in one place, you have
this unstoppable force of mankind
this unstoppable force of mankind
358
980855
3774
pretože na jednom mieste spája
nezastaviteľnú silu ľudstva
nezastaviteľnú silu ľudstva
16:36
meeting the immovable object
of tropical nature.
of tropical nature.
359
984653
3435
s nepohnutou tropickou prírodou.
Ale na tejto novej hranici si
musíme znova premyslieť:
musíme znova premyslieť:
16:40
And it's at this new frontier
that we are forced with a new appraisal.
that we are forced with a new appraisal.
360
988973
3840
16:44
What is wilderness worth?
361
992837
1683
Akú cenu má pre nás divočina?
16:47
What is the value of biodiversity,
or our drinking water?
or our drinking water?
362
995119
3094
Aká je hodnota biodiverzity
a našej pitnej vody?
a našej pitnej vody?
Našťastie, po desaťročiach debát
16:51
And fortunately, after decades of debate,
363
999195
2433
16:53
we're finally starting to act
on those questions.
on those questions.
364
1001652
2967
začíname konečne konať.
16:56
We're slowly undertaking these projects
365
1004643
2357
Pomaly spúšťame projekty,
16:59
to bring more freshwater back to the bay.
366
1007024
2496
aby sme navrátili čerstvú vodu do zálivu.
17:01
But it's up to us as citizens,
as residents, as stewards
as residents, as stewards
367
1009544

Ukážte štátu, že ochrana divočiny
17:21
not only makes ecological sense,
but economic sense as well.

Je to zábava, proste to spravte –
namočte nohy do vody.

17:26
It's a lot of fun, just do it --

Ten močiar vás zmení, sľubujem.
17:33
Over the years, we've been so generous
379
1041351
1872
Roky sme boli štedrí
17:35
with these other landscapes
around the country,
around the country,
380
1043247
3070
k iným oblastiam v našej krajine.
17:38
cloaking them with this American pride,
381
1046341
2821
Venovali sme im našu americkú hrdosť.
17:41
places that we now consider to define us:
382
1049186

Miestam, ktoré nás dnes definujú:
17:43
Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone.
383
1051581

Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone.
17:46
And we use these parks
and these natural areas
and these natural areas
384
1054730
2409
Využívame tieto parky a prírodné oblasti
17:49
as beacons and as cultural compasses.
385
1057163
3243
ako symboly a kultúrne kompasy.
17:53
And sadly, the Everglades is very commonly
386
1061184
2045
Ale Everglades veľmi často
17:55
left out of that conversation.
387
1063253
1916
vynechávame z konverzácie.
17:57
But I believe it's every bit
as iconic and emblematic

2508
Ja verím, že každým kúskom symbolizujú
18:00
of who we are as a country

1068132
1873
to, kým sme ako krajina,
18:02
as any of these other wildernesses.
390
1070029
2501
rovnako, ako ktorákoľvek iná
z prírodných pamiatok.

18:04
It's just a different kind of wild.
391
1072554
2487
Je to len iný druh divočiny.
18:08
But I'm encouraged,
392
1076057
1327
Ale mám nádej.
18:09
because maybe we're finally
starting to come around,
starting to come around,
393
1077408
2694
Pretože možno sa konečne niečo mení.
18:12
because what was once deemed
this swampy wasteland,

394
1080126
2587
Kedysi zatracovaná močiarna pustatina
18:14
today is a World Heritage site.
395
1082737

Je to močiar medzinárodného významu.
18:17
It's a wetland
of international importance.

Ak dokážeme tento systém uzdraviť,
18:34
it's going to become an icon
for wetland restoration

Je len na nás, k akému posolstvu
pripojíme svoju vlajku.

Milujem ten výrok.
18:53
I love that quote,
406
1121565
1403
18:54
because it's a challenge, it's a prod.
407
1122992
2033
Je to výzva, je to nakopnutie.
18:57
Can we do it? Will we do it?
408
1125049
1879
Dokážeme to? Spravíme to?
18:58
We have to, we must.
409
1126952
1739
Musíme.
Ale Everglades nie sú len skúškou.
19:01
But the Everglades is not just a test.

Sú aj darom

and ultimately, our responsibility.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Mac Stone - PhotographerFlorida-based photographer Mac Stone specializes in documenting the Everglades, an area he prizes for its wildlife and flora.
Why you should listen
Mac Stone is a conservation photographer from Gainesville, Florida. Growing up exploring the springs, swamps, and hammocks of North Central Florida, he developed a passion for photography at a young age.
Over the years his camera has carried him to some of the most remote and imperiled areas this side of the globe. For six months, Stone lived in Ecuador during the presidential overthrow of 2005 and worked with Wildlife Conservation Society biologists in the Amazon rainforest. Soon after, he moved to Honduras and lived in a small village along the Cangrejal River. For two years he taught photography to underprivileged youth as a way to raise environmental awareness in the region. Some of the students have gone on to win international acclaim and start up their own eco-tourism businesses. Through photography, Stone strives to start new conversations and expose the dynamic relationship between mankind and the natural world.
Currently, his work focuses on America's swamps in an attempt to change public opinion towards our country’s wetlands. After spending five years living and working in the Everglades watershed, he will be releasing a 304-page coffee table book about the heralded River of Grass. Everglades: America's Wetland, published by University Press of Florida in October 2014 has won a silver medal with the Florida Book Awards and is now in its second printing.
