Iako je tapir jedan od najvećih svjetskih sisavaca, život ovih samotnih noćnih životinja ostao je nepoznanica. Poznat i kao „živi fosil“ gotovo nedotaknut evolucijom, tapir luta šumama i pašnjacima Južne Amerike do današnjega dana. Na evolucijsku je scenu stupio prije više od pet milijuna godina. No, njegovu dugovječnost ugrožavaju krivolov, krčenje šuma i zagađenje okoliša koje najveći problem predstavlja u sada već industrijaliziranom Brazilu. U ovom će govoru konzervacijska biologinja, stručnjakinja za tapire i članica TED-a Patrícia Medici podijeliti svoj rad o ovim nevjerojatnim životinjama te nas upitati: Želimo li zaista biti odgovorni za njihovo izumiranje?

But at the moment,

Am I doing enough?
16
51680
2336
Činim li dovoljno?
01:06
I guess the big question here is,
17
54040

Mislim da je veliko pitanje ovdje,
01:08
am I studying tapirs
and contributing to their conservation,

And you see, this is

36
127640
3736
I vidite, to je
veoma, veoma nesretan slučaj

02:23
because tapirs are extremely important

Isn't that amazing?
45
161320
1736
Nije li to nevjerojatno?
02:55
If you think about it,
46
163080
1816
Ako malo bolje razmislite,
02:56
the extinction of tapirs
would seriously affect

I started my tapir work in 1996,
still very young, fresh out of college,

1996. sam počela svoj rad s tapirima,
još mlada, nedavno završena fakulteta,

and it was a pioneer research

3336
i to je bilo prvo takvo istraživanje
i program za očuvanje.
i program za očuvanje.
03:12
At that point, we had nearly
zero information about tapirs,
zero information about tapirs,
51
180200
3336
Tada nismo imali gotovo
nikakve informacije o tapirima,
nikakve informacije o tapirima,
03:15
mostly because they're
so difficult to study.
so difficult to study.
52
183560
3296
uglavnom jer ih je
tako teško proučavati.
tako teško proučavati.
03:18
They're nocturnal, solitary,
very elusive animals,
very elusive animals,
53
186880
4536
To su noćne, samotne,
vrlo nedostižne životinje
vrlo nedostižne životinje
03:23
and we got started getting
very basic data about these animals.
very basic data about these animals.
54
191440
5176
i konačno smo počeli dobivati
temeljne podatke o ovim životinjama.
temeljne podatke o ovim životinjama.
03:28
But what is it
that a conservationist does?
that a conservationist does?
55
196640
3856
Ali što zapravo
čini konzervator?
čini konzervator?
03:32
Well, first, we need data.
56
200520
2256
Pa, prvo, trebamo podatke.
03:34
We need field research.
57
202800
1576
Trebamo istraživanja na terenu.
03:36
We need those long-term datasets
to support conservation action,
to support conservation action,
58
204400
4616
Trebamo dugoročno skupljanje podataka
kako bismo poduprli akciju očuvanja,
kako bismo poduprli akciju očuvanja,
03:41
and I told you tapirs
are very hard to study,
are very hard to study,
59
209040
3016
a rekla sam vam da je tapire
vrlo teško proučavati,
vrlo teško proučavati,
03:44
so we have to rely
on indirect methods to study them.
on indirect methods to study them.
60
212080
3936
stoga se moramo osloniti
na indirektne metode proučavanja.
na indirektne metode proučavanja.
03:48
We have to capture and anesthetize them
61
216040
2696
Moramo ih uloviti i anestezirati
03:50
so that we can install GPS collars
around their necks
around their necks
62
218760
3456
kako bismo im stavili GPS ogrlice
oko vrata
oko vrata
03:54
and follow their movements,
63
222240
1656
i pratili njihovo kretanje,
03:55
which is a technique used by many
other conservationists around the world.
other conservationists around the world.
64
223920
4416
to je tehnika koju koriste mnogi
konzervatori svuda u svijetu.
konzervatori svuda u svijetu.
04:00
And then we can gather information
about how they use space,
about how they use space,
65
228360
3936
Tada možemo skupljati informacije
o tome kako koriste prostor,
o tome kako koriste prostor,
04:04
how they move through the landscape,
66
232320
2056
kako se kreću kroz okoliš,
04:06
what are their priority habitats,
67
234400
1976
koja su im najbitnija staništa,
04:08
and so much more.
68
236400
2056
i mngo više.
04:10
Next, we must disseminate what we learn.
69
238480
3936
Sljedeće, moramo ukazati
svijetu na to što smo naučili.
svijetu na to što smo naučili.
04:14
We have to educate people about tapirs
70
242440
2696
Moramo educirati ljude o tapirima
04:17
and how important these animals are.
71
245160
2616
i tome koliko su bitne te životinje.
04:19
And it's amazing
how many people around the world
how many people around the world
72
247800
3616
I nevjerojatno je
koliko ljudi na svijetu
koliko ljudi na svijetu
04:23
do not know what a tapir is.
73
251440
2816
ne zna što je tapir.
04:26
In fact, many people think
this is a tapir.
this is a tapir.
74
254280
3200
Zapravo, mnogi ljudi misle
da je ovo tapir.
da je ovo tapir.
04:30
Let me tell you, this is not a tapir.
75
258920
2496
Samo da vam kažem, ovo nije tapir.
04:33
(Laughter)
76
261440
1416
(Smijeh)
04:34
This is a giant anteater.
77
262880
1936
To je divovski mravojed.
04:36
Tapirs do not eat ants. Never. Ever.
78
264840
3520
Tapiri ne jedu mrave. Nikad. Baš nikad.
04:42
And then next we have to provide
training, capacity building.
training, capacity building.
79
270440
4736
Nadalje, moramo osigurati
uvježbavanje, povećanje kapaciteta.
uvježbavanje, povećanje kapaciteta.
04:47
It is our responsibility to prepare
the conservationists of the future.
the conservationists of the future.
80
275200
4456
Naša je odgovornost pripremiti
buduće konzervatore.
buduće konzervatore.
04:51
We are losing several
conservation battles,
conservation battles,
81
279680
3056
Gubimo nekoliko
bitaka za očuvanje,
bitaka za očuvanje,
04:54
and we need more people doing what we do,
82
282760
2456
i trebamo više ljudi koji bi
radili to što radimo,
radili to što radimo,
04:57
and they need the skills,
and they need the passion to do that.
and they need the passion to do that.
83
285240
4376
i oni trebaju vještine,
trebaju strast kako bi to radili.
trebaju strast kako bi to radili.
05:01
Ultimately, we conservationists,
84
289640
2536
Naposljetku, mi konzervatori,
05:04
we must be able to apply our data,
85
292200
2616
moramo biti u mogućnosti
primijeniti naše podatke,
primijeniti naše podatke,
05:06
to apply our accumulated knowledge
86
294840
2216
primijeniti skupljeno znanje
05:09
to support actual conservation action.
87
297080
3936
kako bismo poduprli
stvarnu akciju očuvanja.
stvarnu akciju očuvanja.
05:13
Our first tapir program
88
301040
1976
Naš prvi program za tapire
05:15
took place in the Atlantic Forest
89
303040
2256
bio je smješten u Atlantskoj šumi
05:17
in the eastern part of Brazil,
90
305320
2136
u istočnom dijelu Brazila,
05:19
one of the most threatened
biomes in the world.

05:22
The destruction of the Atlantic Forest
92
310880
2176
Uništavanje Atlantske šume
05:25
began in the early 1500s,
93
313080
2216
počelo je u ranim 1500-im godinama,

i time započeli europsku kolonizaciju
istočnog dijela Južne Amerike.

05:34
This forest was almost completely cleared
96
322560
3296
Šuma je bila gotovo potpuno iskrčena,
05:37
for timber, agriculture, cattle ranching
and the construction of cities,

05:43
and today only seven percent

3456
i danas je samo sedam posto
Atlantske šume
Atlantske šume
05:46
is still left standing.
99
334600
2176
ostalo.
05:48
And tapirs are found in very, very small,
isolated, disconnected populations.

Tapiri se nalaze u vrlo, vrlo malim,
izoliranim, nepovezanim populacijama.

05:55
In the Atlantic Forest, we found out
that tapirs move through open areas

101
343200
4656
U Atlantskoj šumi smo saznali da se
tapiri kreću preko otvorenih dijelova

06:06
So our main approach in this region
104
354480
2536
Glavni pristup u ovoj regiji
06:09
was to use our tapir data
to identify the potential places

105
357040
4376
bio je iskoristiti podatke o tapirima
kako bi identificirali potencijalna mjesta

06:21
so that tapirs and many other animals
could cross the landscape safely.

After 12 years in the Atlantic Forest,
110

06:28
in 2008, we expanded our tapir
conservation efforts to the Pantanal

Rad u Pantanalu
je bio vrlo osvježavajući

because we found large,

jer smo našli velike
zdrave populacije tapira u tom području,

06:59
and we have been able to study tapirs
119
407280

i mogli smo proučavati tapire
07:01
in the most natural conditions
we'll ever find,

07:08
In the Pantanal, besides the GPS collars,
we are using another technique:

U Pantanalu, osim GPS ogrlica,
koristimo još jednu tehniku:

including once again cattle ranching,

uključujući, još jednom, stočarstvo,
08:02
large sugarcane and soybean plantations,
138
470720
2736
velike plantaže šećerne trske i soje,
08:05
poaching, roadkill, just to name a few.
139
473480
3496
krivolov, nesreće na cesti,
ali to su samo neke.

08:09
And somehow, tapirs are still there,
140
477000
3616
Usprkos svemu, tapiri su još ondje,
08:12
which gives me a lot of hope.
141
480640
2416
što mi daje puno nade.
08:15
But I have to say that starting
this new program in the Cerrado
this new program in the Cerrado
142
483080
4496
Ali moram reći da je započinjanje
novog programa u Cerradu
novog programa u Cerradu
08:19
was a bit of a slap in the face.
143
487600
2856
bila svojevrsna pljuska u lice.
08:22
When you drive around
144
490480
1456
Kad se vozite okolo
08:23
and you find dead tapirs
along the highways
along the highways
145
491960
3816
i nalazite mrtve tapire
uz autoceste
uz autoceste
08:27
and signs of tapirs wandering around
in the middle of sugarcane plantations
in the middle of sugarcane plantations
146
495800
5016
i znakove lutanja tapira
usred plantaža šećerne trske
usred plantaža šećerne trske
08:32
where they shouldn't be,
147
500840
2016
gdje ne bi trebali biti
08:34
and you talk to kids and they tell you
that they know how tapir meat tastes
that they know how tapir meat tastes
148
502880
4216
te kada pričate s djecom i kažu vam
da znaju kakvog je okusa meso tapira
da znaju kakvog je okusa meso tapira
08:39
because their families poach and eat them,
149
507120
3376
jer ih njihove obitelji
ilegalno love i jedu,
ilegalno love i jedu,
08:42
it really breaks your heart.
150
510520
2240
to vam slomi srce.
08:46
The situation in the Cerrado
made me realize --
made me realize --
151
514039
3217
Situacija u Cerradu
me natjerala da shvatim –
me natjerala da shvatim –
08:49
it gave me the sense of urgency.
152
517280
2936
dala mi je osjećaj da je stvar hitna.
08:52
I am swimming against the tide.
153
520240
2295
Borim se protiv vjetrenjača.
08:54
It made me realize that despite
two decades of hard work
two decades of hard work
154
522559
3657
Shvatila sam da unatoč
dvama desetljećima napornog rada
dvama desetljećima napornog rada
08:58
trying to save these animals,
we still have so much work to do
we still have so much work to do
155
526240
3536
u pokušaju spašavanja ovih životinja,
imamo još toliko puno posla
imamo još toliko puno posla
09:01
if we are to prevent them
from disappearing.
from disappearing.
156
529800
3056
ako želimo spriječiti
njihovo nestajanje.
njihovo nestajanje.
09:04
We have to find ways
to solve all these problems.
to solve all these problems.
157
532880
3936
Moramo naći načine
da riješimo sve te probleme.
da riješimo sve te probleme.
09:08
We really do, and you know what?
158
536840
1856
Stvarno moramo, i znate što?
09:10
We really came to a point
in the conservation world
in the conservation world
159
538720
3416
Stvarno smo došli do točke
u svijetu konzervacije
u svijetu konzervacije
09:14
where we have to think out of the box.
160
542160
2736
kad moramo misliti izvan okvira.
09:16
We'll have to be a lot more creative
than we are right now.
than we are right now.
161
544920
3736
Svi moramo biti mnogo kreativniji
nego što smo sada.
nego što smo sada.
09:20
And I told you, roadkill is a big problem
for tapirs in the Cerrado,
for tapirs in the Cerrado,
162
548680
3896
I kao što rekoh, nesreće na cesti velik su
problem za tapire u Cerradu,
problem za tapire u Cerradu,
09:24
so we just came up with the idea
of putting reflective stickers
of putting reflective stickers
163
552600
3416
pa smo nedavno došli na ideju
da stavljamo reflektirajuće naljepnice
da stavljamo reflektirajuće naljepnice
09:28
on the GPS collars we put on the tapirs.
164
556040
2816
na GPS ogrlice koje stavljamo tapirima.
09:30
These are the same stickers
used on big trucks
used on big trucks
165
558880
2336
To su iste naljepnice koje su
na velikim kamionima
na velikim kamionima
09:33
to avoid collision.
166
561240
1616
da se izbjegne sudar.
09:34
Tapirs cross the highways after dark,
167
562880
3216
Tapiri prelaze autoceste kad padne mrak,
09:38
so the stickers will hopefully
help drivers see this shining thing
help drivers see this shining thing
168
566120
5176
pa će naljepnice, nadamo se, pomoći
vozačima da vide tu stvar koja svijetli
vozačima da vide tu stvar koja svijetli
09:43
crossing the highway,
169
571320
1416
i prelazi autocestu,
09:44
and maybe they will
slow down a little bit.
slow down a little bit.
170
572760
3536
i možda će
malo usporiti.
malo usporiti.
09:48
For now, this is just a crazy idea.
171
576320
2576
Zasad, ovo je samo luda ideja.
09:50
We don't know. We'll see if it will
reduce the amount of tapir roadkill.
reduce the amount of tapir roadkill.
172
578920
4656
Ne znamo. Vidjet ćemo hoće li
se smanjiti broj nesreća na cesti.
se smanjiti broj nesreća na cesti.
09:55
But the point is, maybe this is
the kind of stuff that needs to be done.
the kind of stuff that needs to be done.
173
583600
4000
Poanta je da je možda to
način na koji moramo djelovati.
način na koji moramo djelovati.
10:00
And although I'm struggling
with all these questions
with all these questions
174
588920
3736
I iako se trenutno borim
s mnogim pitanjima
s mnogim pitanjima
10:04
in my mind right now,
175
592680
2776
u svojoj glavi,
10:07
I have a pact with tapirs.
176
595480
2896
imam pakt s tapirima.
10:10
I know in my heart
177
598400
1736
U dubini srca znam
10:12
that tapir conservation is my cause.
178
600160
2936
da je očuvanje tapira moj cilj.
10:15
This is my passion.
179
603120
1696
To je moja strast.
10:16
I am not alone.
180
604840
1536
I nisam sama.
10:18
I have this huge network
of supporters behind me,

I'm ever going to stop.

I will continue doing this,
