This is where I live. I live in Kenya,
0
982
2774
Ovo je gdje ja živim. Živim u Keniji,
00:15
at the south parts of the Nairobi National Park.
1
3756
3067
u južnim dijelovima Nacionalnog parka Nairobi.
00:18
Those are my dad's cows at the back,
2
6823
1988
Iza su krave mog oca,
00:20
and behind the cows,
3
8811
1980
a iza krava,
00:22
that's the Nairobi National Park.
4
10791
2304
to je Nacionalni park Nairobi.
00:25
Nairobi National Park is not fenced in the south widely,
5
13095
3505
Nacionalni park Nairobi nije ograđen širom jednog dijela na jugu,
00:28
which means wild animals like zebras
6
16600
3462
što znači da divlje životinje poput zebri
00:32
migrate out of the park freely.
7
20062
3921
slobodno mogu izaći iz parka.
00:35
So predators like lions follow them,
8
23983
4013
Grabežjivci poput lavova prate ih,
00:39
and this is what they do.
9
27996
2795
i evo šta rade.
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 u noći,
00:48
and I just woke up in the morning and I found it dead,
12
36239
4040
i kad sam se probudio ujutru i našao je mrtvu,
00:52
and I felt so bad,
13
40279
2426
osjećao sam se loše,
00:54
because it was the only bull we had.
14
42705
4487
jer je to bio jedini vol kojeg smo imali.
00:59
My community, the Maasai, we believe that
15
47192
2787
Moja zajednica, Maasai, mi vjerujemo da
01:01
we came from heaven with all our animals and all the land
16
49979
6057
smo stigli iz raja sa svim našim životinjama i svom našom zemljom,
01:08
for herding them, and that's why we value them so much.
17
56036
3775
da bi ih uzgajali, i upravo zbog toga ih jako cijenimo.
01:11
So I grew up hating lions so much.
18
59811
3759
Zato sam odrastao mrzeći lavove toliko.
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 štite svoju zajednicu i stoku,
01:21
and they're also upset about this problem.
21
69940
3079
i oni su također uznemireni zbog ovog 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 šest 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 zbog toga ima jako malo lavova u Nacionalnom parku Nairobi.
01:36
So a boy, from six to nine years old, in my community
25
84477
4961
Dječak, od šest do devet godina, u mojoj zajednici,
01:41
is responsible for his dad's cows,
26
89438
2874
odgovoran je za krave svog oca,
01:44
and that's the same thing which happened to me.
27
92312
3130
i isto se desilo i meni.
01:47
So I had to find a way of solving this problem.
28
95442
3415
Zbog toga sam morao pronaći način da riješim ovaj problem.
01:50
And the first idea I got was to use fire,
29
98857
4814
Prva ideja koju sam imao bila je da upotrijebim vatru,
01:55
because I thought lions were scared of fire.
30
103671
3793
zato što sam mislio da se lavovi boje vatre.
01:59
But I came to realize that that didn't really help,
31
107464
4719
Ali ubrzo sam shvatio da to neće puno pomoći,
02:04
because it was even helping the lions
32
112183
2609
zato što je to čak pomagalo lavovima
02:06
to see through the cowshed.
33
114792
3511
da vide kroz staje.
02:10
So I didn't give up. I continued.
34
118303
3329
Nisam odustajao. Nastavio sam.
02:13
And a second idea I got was
35
121632
2640
Sljedeća ideja koju sam imao
02:16
to use a scarecrow.
36
124272
2067
jeste da upotrijebim strašilo.
02:18
I was trying to trick the lions
37
126339
1614
Pokušao sam da prevarim lavove
02:19
[into thinking] that I was standing near the cowshed.
38
127953
2907
kao da ja stojim blizu staje.
02:22
But lions are very clever. (Laughter)
39
130860
4076
Ali lavovi su vrlo pametni. (smijeh)
02:26
They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back,
40
134936
4446
Doći će prvog dana i vidjet će strašilo, i otići će,
02:31
but the second day, they'll come and they say,
41
139382
3274
ali drugog dana, vratit će se opet i reći će da
02:34
this thing is not moving here, it's always here. (Laughter)
42
142656
3110
se ova stvar ne miče odavde, uvijek je tu. (Smijeh)
02:37
So he jumps in and kills the animals.
43
145766
3237
Tada skoči i ubije životinje.
02:41
So one night, I was walking around the cowshed with a torch,
44
149003
3953
Jedne noći, šetao sam oko staje s bakljom,
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 plaše pokretnog svjetla.
02:53
So I had an idea.
47
161357
2573
I nadošao sam na ideju.
02:55
Since I was a small boy,
48
163930
2310
S obzirom da sam bio mali dječak,
02:58
I used to work in my room for the whole day,
49
166240
3258
imao sam običaj da radim u svojoj sobi po cio dan,
03:01
and I even took apart my mom's new radio,
50
169498
3106
i jednom sam čak razmontirao mamin novi radio,
03:04
and that day she almost killed me,
51
172604
1818
i tog dana samo što me nije ubila,
03:06
but I learned a lot about electronics. (Laughter)
52
174422
6254
ali sam mnogo naučio o elektronici. (Smijeh)
03:12
So I got an old car battery,
53
180676
3360
Nabavio sam staru automobilsku bateriju,
03:16
an indicator box. It's a small device found in a motorcycle,
54
184036
3790
indikatorsku kutiju. To je malena naprava koja se može naći u motorciklima,
03:19
and it helps motorists when they want to turn right or left. It blinks.
55
187826
5051
i pomaže motoristima ukoliko žele da se vrate unazad desno ili lijevo. Svjetluca.
03:24
And I got a switch where I can switch on the lights, on and off.
56
192877
4554
Dobio sam prekidač na kojem svijetlo mogu paliti i gasiti.
03:29
And that's a small torch from a broken flashlight.
57
197431
4828
I to je malena baklja iz razbijene svjetiljke.
03:34
So I set up everything.
58
202259
2881
Tako sam namjestio sve.
03:37
As you can see, the solar panel charges the battery,
59
205140
3224
Kao što vidite, solarni panel puni bateriju,
03:40
and the battery supplies the power
60
208364
2121
i baterija isporučuje energiju
03:42
to the small indicator box. I call it a transformer.
61
210485
3055
u malu indikatorsku kutiju. Ja to zovem transformator.
03:45
And the indicator box makes the lights flash.
62
213540
4721
Indikatorska kutija čini da svijetlo bljeska.
03:50
As you can see, the bulbs face outside,
63
218261
3751
Kao što vidite, žarulja su okrenute prema van,
03:54
because that's where the lions come from.
64
222012
2488
zato što odatle dolaze lavovi.
03:56
And that's how it looks to lions when they come at night.
65
224500
4064
I tako to izgleda lavovima kada dolaze u noći.
04:00
The lights flash and trick
66
228564
2728
Svijetlo treperi i vara
04:03
the lions into thinking I was walking around the cowshed,
67
231292
1942
lavove da misle kako se krećem oko staje,
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
(Aplauz)
04:11
Thanks.
71
239569
5595
Hvala.
04:17
So I set it up in my home two years ago,
72
245164
4276
Namjestio 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 tada, nismo imali nikakvih problema s lavovima.
04:24
And my neighboring homes heard about this idea.
74
252760
4012
I moje komšije su čule za ovu 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
Veliki broj njenih životinja pobili su lavovi,
04:35
and she asked me if I could put the lights for her.
77
263512
2134
i pitala me da li mogu za nju da postavim svijetla.
04:37
And I said, "Yes."
78
265646
1278
Rekao sam: "Da".
04:38
So I put the lights. You can see at the back, those are the lion lights.
79
266924
4600
Postavio sam svijetla. Kao što vidite u pozadini, to su svijetla za lavove.
04:43
Since now, I've set up seven homes around my community,
80
271524
3416
Do sada, postavio sam ih na sedam kuća unutar moje zajednice,
04:46
and they're really working.
81
274940
2225
i zaista rade.
04:49
And my idea is also being used now all over Kenya
82
277165
5180
Moja ideja sada se koristi u cijeloj Keniji
04:54
for scaring other predators like hyenas, leopards,
83
282345
5113
kako bi se otjerali drugi grabljivci poput hijena, leoparda,
04:59
and it's also being used
84
287458
2235
i također se koristi
05:01
to scare elephants away from people's farms.
85
289693
4045
kako bi se otjerali slonovi što dalje od farmi.
05:05
Because of this invention, I was lucky to get a scholarship
86
293738
3040
Zahvaljujući ovom izumu, imao sam sreću da dobijem stipendiju
05:08
in one of the best schools in Kenya,
87
296778
2650
u jednoj od najboljih škola u Keniji,
05:11
Brookhouse International School,
88
299428
1907
Međunarodnoj školi Brookhouse
05:13
and I'm really excited about this.
89
301335
2927
i zaista sam uzbuđen zbog toga.
05:16
My new school now is coming in and helping
90
304262
3850
Moja nova škola sada pomaže
05:20
by fundraising and creating an awareness.
91
308112
4532
pri prikupljanju sredstava i stvaranju svijesti.
05:24
I even took my friends back to my community,
92
312644
5283
Čak sam odveo svoje prijatelje u svoju zajednicu,
05:29
and we're installing the lights to the homes
93
317927
3197
i postavljamo svijetla na kuće
05:33
which don't have [any], and I'm teaching them how to put them.
94
321124
4649
koje ga nemaju nikako, i učim ih kako da ga postave.
05:37
So one year ago, I was just a boy in the savanna grassland
95
325773
3897
Prije godinu dana, bio sam tek dječak iz savane
05:41
herding my father's cows,
96
329670
1674
koji je uzgajao očeve krave,
05:43
and I used to see planes flying over,
97
331344
2954
i obično sam posmatrao kako avioni lete preko,
05:46
and I told myself that one day, I'll be there inside.
98
334298
4211
i rekao sam samome sebi da ću jednog dana ja biti u njemu,
05:50
And here I am today.
99
338509
3088
i evo me danas.
05:53
I got a chance to come by plane for my first time for TED.
100
341597
5936
Dobio sam priliku da stignem avionom po prvi put na TED.
05:59
So my big dream is to become an aircraft engineer and pilot when I grow up.
101
347533
5436
Moj veliki san kad odrastem jeste da postanem inženjer zrakoplovstva i pilot .
06:04
I used to hate lions, but now because my invention
102
352969
3694
Imao sam običaj da mrzim lavove, ali danas 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
u stanju smo biti pokraj lavova bez ikakvih sukoba.
06:15
Ashê olên. It means in my language, thank you very much.
105

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.
