So, of all my childhood memories,

在我所有的童年记忆中，
有一件事比其他任何回忆都更重要。
00:16
there is one that stands above the rest.
1
4325
2992
00:19
And that is the time that my brave parents
2

3260
那次，我勇敢的父母租了一辆房车，
和我们兄弟几个一起整装出发，
00:22
rented an RV, packed it
with me and my brothers,
with me and my brothers,
3

从我们在明尼阿波利斯的家
00:25
and drove west
from our house in Minneapolis,

往西开到黄石国家公园。
00:28
out to Yellowstone National Park.

00:31
We saw all the sights, like the geysers,
we stopped at the Badlands,

19188
3549
我们饱览了所有景色，看了间歇泉谷，
还在恶地（Badlands）驻足，
还在恶地（Badlands）驻足，
但比这些景色更重要的是，
在我的印象中，那成了一次探险。
在我的印象中，那成了一次探险。
00:34
but more than any of the places,
I remember this as an adventure.
I remember this as an adventure.
7
22761
4586
这是我对狂野西部的第一印象。
00:39
This was my introduction to the Wild West.
8
27371
3786
00:43
But it wasn't until I got older
9
31974
2643
但直到我长大些了，
对国家公园系统有了更多的了解，
00:46
and I learned more
about the National Park System
about the National Park System
10
34641
3872
才意识到我是多么幸运。
00:50
that I realized just how lucky I was.
11
38537
2707
不仅是能拥有那样的经历，
00:53
One, to have that experience,
12
41268
1786
还包括几百年前，
00:55
but also that, hundreds of years ago,
13
43078
2676
人们就怀有这种远见，
留出了这片最好的土地，

00:57
people had the foresight
to set aside the very best places,

14
45778

把全国最好的生态系统，
01:03
the very best ecosystems
in the country, for everyone.
in the country, for everyone.
15
51680
4897
留给每一个人，以及子孙后代。
01:09
And for future generations.
16
57125
1563
01:11
And to really appreciate
just how prescient that idea was,
just how prescient that idea was,
17
59046
6214
要真正领悟这个想法多有先见之明，
就必须要回顾一下，
01:17
you have to go back
18
65284
1174
看看国家公园管理局的历史。
01:18
and you have to look at the history
of the National Parks Service.
of the National Parks Service.

很多人都知道，第一个国家公园是
1872年成立的黄石公园。
1872年成立的黄石公园。
01:21
So, a lot of people know, the first
national park was Yellowstone, in 1872.

01:26
A lot of people think of John Muir,
the poet, naturalist,

很多人会想到诗人、博物学家
约翰 · 缪尔（John Muir），
约翰 · 缪尔（John Muir），
一个很有远见的人，
01:29
who was such a visionary
22
77807
1535
他让人们受到保护区理念的启发——
01:31
in getting people inspired
by the idea of conservation --
by the idea of conservation --
23
79366
3417
那就是要把最好的地方保护起来。
01:34
that we need to take
the best places and protect them.
the best places and protect them.
24
82807
3715
他的听众地位非常高——
01:38
He had an audience in very high places --
25
86546
2745
泰迪 · 罗斯福和约翰 · 缪尔有一段传奇，
01:41
there's a great story
of Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir

在罗斯福总统的任期内，
他们俩去优胜美地徒步旅行，

01:47
four days, completely off the grid,
just the two of them.
just the two of them.
28
95761
3253
四天，完全失联，只有他们两个人。
你能想象一个总统
01:51
Can you imagine a president
29
99038
2073
真的能四天完全失联吗?
01:53
actually just going completely
off the grid for four days?
off the grid for four days?
30
101135
2759
01:56
(Laughter)
31
104284
1325
(笑声)
不发微博。
01:57
No tweeting.

105633
1158
(笑声)(掌声)
01:58
(Laughter) (Applause)
33
106815
3794
好喜欢这个想法。
02:02
Like that idea.

110633
1248
(掌声)
02:03
(Applause)
35
111905
1000
02:06
But he had a great impact
on Theodore Roosevelt.
on Theodore Roosevelt.
36
114625
5920
不过约翰 · 缪尔对
西奥多 · 罗斯福的影响很大。
西奥多 · 罗斯福的影响很大。
他建立了几十个国家公园，
02:12
And he created dozens of national parks,
37
120569
2644
数十万平方英亩的
国家野生动物保护区。

02:15
hundreds of thousands of square acres
of national wildlife refuges.

38
123237
3927
那是很重要的管理体系，但还不完善。
02:19
It was an important administration,
but it wasn't a done deal.
but it wasn't a done deal.
39
127188
4651
在他创建了这些新地方
之后还不到10年，
之后还不到10年，
02:23
Even less than 10 years
after he created all of those new places,
after he created all of those new places,
40
131863
5698
这些地方的未来就开始饱受质疑。
02:29
the future of those places
was very much in doubt.
was very much in doubt.
41
137585
2635
02:32
And it wasn't until this guy,
Stephen Mather,
Stephen Mather,
42
140847
3147
直到这个人，斯蒂芬 · 马瑟，
一位来自芝加哥的商人，
02:36
a businessman from Chicago,
43
144018
1615
给内政部写了一封
怒气冲天的信，他说，
怒气冲天的信，他说，
02:37
wrote an angry letter
to the Department of the Interior, saying,
to the Department of the Interior, saying,
44
145657
3222
“你们对这些地方的保护做得不够好。”
02:40
"You guys aren't doing a good enough job
protecting and preserving these places."
protecting and preserving these places."
45
148903
4324
02:45
Then, something was done about it.
46
153736
1627
然后，事情有了进展。
内政部给他回信了。
02:47
The Department of the Interior
wrote him back.
wrote him back.
47
155387
2166
“马瑟先生，既然你这么关心这件事，
02:49
"Mr. Mather, if you care
so much about this,
so much about this,
48
157577
2437
何不到华盛顿来，亲自去做呢?”
02:52
why don't you come to Washington
and do it yourself?"
and do it yourself?"
49
160038
2944
02:55
(Laughter)
50
163006
1111
(笑声)
然后，他去了。
02:56
And he did.
51
164141
1777
他接受了内政部的工作，
02:57
He took a job at the Department
of the Interior,
of the Interior,
52
165942
2262
更重要的是，他发起了一场运动。
03:00
but more importantly,
he started a campaign.
he started a campaign.
53
168228
3556
03:04
He actually had a meeting
two blocks from here, in 1914,
two blocks from here, in 1914,
54
172304
4778
1914年，他在离这里
两个街区的地方开了个会，
两个街区的地方开了个会，
在加利福尼亚大厅，
03:09
in California Hall,
55
177106
1333
他召集了公园管理者和
03:10
and he brought together the park
superintendents and a few other people
superintendents and a few other people
56
178463
3382
其他一些关心保护理念的人。
03:13
who cared about this idea of conservation.
57
181869
2800
03:17
And they put together a plan,
they hatched a campaign
they hatched a campaign
58
185601
3936
他们制定了计划，策划了运动，
最终促成国家公园管理局
在1916年成立。
在1916年成立。
03:21
that eventually led to the
National Park Service in 1916.
National Park Service in 1916.
59
189561
4445
03:26
And that's really important.
60
194744
1334
这非常重要。
因为它从一个我们应该
保护这些地方的想法
保护这些地方的想法
03:28
Because it went from an idea
that we should protect these places
that we should protect these places
61
196102
4001
变成了一个实际的计划，
03:32
to an actual plan,
62
200127
1492
03:33
a way for people to enlist
and carry that idea forward
and carry that idea forward
63
201643
4040
一种召集人马并实现想法的方式，
这是为了子孙后代，
03:37
for future generations,
64
205707
1274
让像我这样的小孩能
去体验这些奇妙的经历。
去体验这些奇妙的经历。
03:39
so little kids like me can go
and have these amazing experiences.
and have these amazing experiences.
65
207005
4040
03:43
That is the history
of the National Parks on land.
of the National Parks on land.
66
211514
3400
这就是陆地国家公园的历史。
03:47
The ocean, what I want
to talk to you about today,
to talk to you about today,
67
215490
2746
而海洋，也是我今天要谈的主题，
则有着一个完全不同的故事。
03:50
is a completely different story.
68
218260
1777
海洋（的生态保护工作）比陆地
落后了几乎整整100年。
落后了几乎整整100年。
03:52
And we are almost precisely
100 years behind.
100 years behind.
69
220061
3718
03:56
So, the first marine
sanctuary was in 1972,
sanctuary was in 1972,
70
224323
2753
第一个海洋保护区是在1972年建立的，
加州圣巴巴拉的石油泄漏之后，
03:59
after the oil spill in Santa Barbara,
71
227100
3047
人们开始关注保护概念，
04:02
people got interested
in taking that concept
in taking that concept
72
230171
2707
并对水下环境实施保护。
04:04
and applying it
to underwater environments.
to underwater environments.
73
232902
3254
我们有自己的约翰 · 缪尔，
希尔维亚席 · 厄尔博士，
希尔维亚席 · 厄尔博士，
04:08
We've had our own John Muir,
who's Dr. Sylvia Earle,
who's Dr. Sylvia Earle,
74
236180
3086
她孜孜不倦地倡导
04:11
who's been a tireless advocate
75
239290
1899
在世界各地建立海洋保护区。
04:13
for creating these marine
protected areas around the world.
protected areas around the world.
76
241213
3316
我知道海洋环境存在的问题很多，
04:16
So, I know there's a lot
of bad news about the ocean,
of bad news about the ocean,
77
244553
3199
比如塑料污染、珊瑚白化、
过度捕捞——
过度捕捞——
04:19
there's plastic pollution,
coral bleaching, over-fishing --
coral bleaching, over-fishing --
78
247776
3116
有时很难全都顾及到。
04:22
it's hard to take it all in sometimes.
79
250916
2905
但这个留出空间让大自然
自己恢复的想法正在起作用。
自己恢复的想法正在起作用。
04:25
But this idea of setting aside
places for nature is working.
places for nature is working.
80
253845
5431
科学告诉我们，如果不去打扰这些地方，
04:31
Science tells us that if you
set these places aside,
set these places aside,
81
259300
3150
自然生态会逐渐恢复，
我们可以保持海洋的健康。
我们可以保持海洋的健康。
04:34
nature will come back
and we can keep the oceans healthy.
and we can keep the oceans healthy.
82
262474
3143
所以我们知道这个想法是可行的。
04:37
So we know this idea works.
83
265641
2102
04:40
And Dr. Sylvia Earl
has been influential, like John Muir,
has been influential, like John Muir,
84
268141
3952
西尔维亚 · 厄尔博士和约翰 · 缪尔一样，
在政府中也有影响力——
04:44
with administrations --
85
272117
1174
乔治 · W · 布什和奥巴马总统
为保护海洋都做出了卓越的贡献，
为保护海洋都做出了卓越的贡献，
04:45
George W. Bush and Obama
were both fantastic ocean presidents,
were both fantastic ocean presidents,
86
273315
3857
在全国各处建立了海洋保护区。
04:49
creating marine protected areas
all around the country.
all around the country.
87
277196
3383
04:53
This is not a conservative idea
or a liberal idea,
or a liberal idea,
88
281173
3269
这个想法无关保守派或自由派，
它甚至不是属于美国的想法，
04:56
it's not even an American idea,
89
284466
1778
这单纯就是一个好的想法。
04:58
it's just a good idea.
90
286268
1936
05:00
(Laughter)
91
288673
1253
(笑声)
(掌声)
05:01
(Applause)
92
289950
1611
但是——
05:03
But --
93
291585
1181
(掌声)
05:04
(Applause)
94
292790
1263
几年之后的今天，形势出现了变化。
05:06
Here we are, a few years later.
95
294077
2324
05:08
And now the administration is proposing
to roll back a lot of the progress
to roll back a lot of the progress
96
296751
5079
因为现在政府正打算
倒行逆施，抹去过去20年
倒行逆施，抹去过去20年
05:13
we've made in the past 20 years.
97
301854
1926
我们取得的许多进步。
05:16
So, so, don't mourn -- organize.
98
304449
3119
所以，不要哀叹——组织起来吧。
05:20
We need to do what
Stephen Mather did 100 years ago.
Stephen Mather did 100 years ago.
99
308809
2913
我们要做的是斯蒂芬 · 马瑟
在100年前做过的事情。
在100年前做过的事情。
我们需要发起一场运动，让人们参与进来。
05:23
We need to start a campaign
to get people engaged with this idea.
to get people engaged with this idea.
100
311746
4303
05:28
And I think we need a league
of citizen scientists for the ocean.
of citizen scientists for the ocean.
101
316365
4380
我认为我们需要一个海洋公民科学家联盟。
05:33
And I've seen glimpses of this future,
and I know that it's possible.
and I know that it's possible.
102
321486
3865
我见过这样的美好未来，我知道这可行。
我和朋友埃里克开始制造水下机器人，
05:37
My friend Erik and I started building
underwater robots,
underwater robots,
103
325375
3505
这些小型游泳摄像机有灯光，
可以帮你看到水下。
可以帮你看到水下。
05:40
these little swimming cameras
with lights that you can see underwater.
with lights that you can see underwater.
104
328904
3934
我们五年前开始在他的车库里做这些东西，
05:44
We started building these
in his garage five years ago,
in his garage five years ago,
105
332862
2682
我们看着它走入
05:47
and we've watched that grow
106
335568
1340
世界各地的成千上万人，
05:48
into this community of thousands
of people around the world,
of people around the world,
107
336932
3351
这些相信每个人都应该
看到美丽海洋的人。
看到美丽海洋的人。
05:52
who believe that everybody
should have access to these places.
should have access to these places.
108
340307
2913
我们都应该有工具去探索。
05:55
We all deserve the tools
to go and explore.
to go and explore.
109
343244
2476
05:58
There's stories like Laura James,
110
346076
1592
有像劳拉 · 詹姆斯这样的故事，
她用她的机器人发现
当地的海星正在死亡。
当地的海星正在死亡。
05:59
who used her robot to find out that
sea stars in her area were dying.
sea stars in her area were dying.
111
347692
3496
于是她发起了全民科学运动，
06:03
And she started this whole
citizen science campaign,
citizen science campaign,
112
351212
3087
收集数据，提高人们对
海星消瘦综合症的认识，
海星消瘦综合症的认识，
06:06
collected data and drove awareness
for sea-star wasting syndrome,
for sea-star wasting syndrome,
113
354323
3143
并试图找出原因。
06:09
to try and figure out
what was happening there.
what was happening there.
114
357490
3024
还有墨西哥的渔民的故事，
06:12
There are stories of fishermen in Mexico,
115
360538
2135
他们用这个机器人建立海洋保护区，
06:14
who used the robot to create
marine protected areas
marine protected areas
116
362697
2721
保护纳索石斑鱼的产卵地，
以保护这个物种的未来。
以保护这个物种的未来。
06:17
where Nassau grouper were spawning,
to protect the future of this species.
to protect the future of this species.
117
365442
4841
这真是太神奇了。
06:22
It's really amazing stuff.
118
370307
1524
我们发现，只要你给人们提供工具，
06:23
We found that if you give
people the tools,
people the tools,
119
371855
2944
人们就会去做正确的事情。
06:26
they'll do the right thing.
120
374823
1690
06:31
But we need to take it a step further.
121
379291
1905
但我们需要更进一步。
实际上，我想可以重温一下
史蒂芬 · 马瑟的剧本。
史蒂芬 · 马瑟的剧本。
06:33
And, actually, I think we can dust off
Stephen Mather's playbook.
Stephen Mather's playbook.
122
381220
3905
他做了什么?
06:37
So what did he do?
123
385149
1201
他做的第一件事就是关注基础设施建设。
06:38
So, the first thing that he did
was he focused on infrastructure.
was he focused on infrastructure.
124
386374
3544
1914年不仅仅是公园的时代，
06:41
So 1914 wasn't just
a time for the parks,
a time for the parks,
125
389942
2762
也是汽车的时代，
06:44
it was also a time for the automobile,
126
392728
2215
T型车源源不断地出产，
06:46
the Model T was rolling off the line,
127
394967
2016
斯蒂芬 · 马瑟明白，
06:49

But like Mather, we should focus
on the technology of our time,

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Lang - MakerDavid Lang is a maker and the co-founder of OpenROV, a community of ocean lovers who build underwater robots.
Why you should listen
David Lang is a maker whose craving for adventure turned him into an amateur ocean explorer. A few years ago Lang and NASA engineer Eric Stackpole went looking for lost gold (literally) in an underwater cave in the foothills of the Sierra Navada. But they weren't quite sure how to go about it. Without much expertise (or money), the two put initial designs for an underwater robot explorer online. Soon OpenROV was born: a community of citizen ocean explorers who build and constantly improve upon these small remote operated underwater robots.
Lang is also the author of Zero to Maker and a 2013 TED Fellow. He lives on a sailboat in the San Francisco Bay.
