είναι κεντρικής σημασίας για το TED,
a voice for the animals,
μια φωνή για τα ζώα,
and spirits shaped us.
μας διαμόρφωσαν.
μου είπε,
η αρκούδα τη γούνα της
ένας άνθρωπος έφτασε στη σπηλιά
όλα τα ζώα είναι το ίδιο,
έναν τεράστιο ελέφαντα
με ειλικρίνεια.
αν ποτέ φωτογραφίζω ανθρώπους;
μέσα στις φωτογραφίες μου,
to look past their disguise.
πίσω από τη μεταμφίεση.
ποια είναι πραγματικά.
την πολυπλοκότητα της ζωής.
της ποικιλότητας της ζωής.
με την ενότητα της ζωής
σε εκείνη την ιερή σπηλιά.
να μπούμε και εμείς στο χορό.
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.
