Secara tradisi, masyarakat Kalandar di India bertahan hidup dengan menangkap anak beruang Sloth dan melatih mereka dengan cara yang sangat kejam untuk "menari". Kartick Satyanarayan berhasil mengakhiri praktik yang sudah berjalan berabad-abad ini, dan dalam prosesnya menemukan pelajaran yang sangat penting: melibatkan para praktisi sebagai bagian dari solusi.

Hi. For those of you who haven't seen dancing bears,
0
2000
3000
Halo. Bagi Anda yang belum pernah melihat beruang penari,
00:20
these are the dancing bears.
1
5000
2000
inilah beruang penari.
00:22
In 1995, we started working on a two-year investigative research project
2
7000
3000
Pada tahun 1995 kami mulai mengerjakan proyek penelitian selama dua tahun
00:25
to try and find out what was going on.
3
10000
3000
untuk mencari tahu apa yang sebenarnya terjadi.
00:28
Because the sloth bears in the wild were obviously getting depleted
4
13000
2000
Karena jumlah beruang Sloth di alam liar semakin berkurang
00:30
because of this.
5
15000
2000
karena hal ini.
00:32
This is the Qalandar community. They are a marginalized Islamic community
6
17000
4000
Ini adalah masyarakat Kalandar. Mereka masyarakat Islam yang termarginalkan
00:36
who live across India,
7
21000
2000
yang tinggal di seluruh India,
00:38
and have been in India since the 13th century.
8
23000
5000
dan sudah ada di India sejak abad ke-13.
00:43
We went about getting evidence of what was going on.
9
28000
3000
Kami mencari bukti tentang apa yang terjadi.
00:46
And this is footage from a hidden camera in a button.
10
31000
2000
Dan inilah video dari kamera rahasia yang kami pasang di kancing baju.
00:48
And we went in, pretending to be buyers.
11
33000
2000
Kami masuk, berpura-pura menjadi pembeli.
00:50
And we found this right in this very state, in Karnataka.
12
35000
3000
Dan kami menemukan ini di negara bagian kita, di Karnataka.
00:53
And the bear cubs were being harvested from across the country
13
38000
3000
Anak beruang diambil dari berbagai tempat di seluruh negeri
00:56
and being sold and traded.
14
41000
2000
dijual dan diperdagangkan.
00:58
These were being sold for about 2,000 dollars each,
15
43000
2000
Mereka dijual sektar 2.000 dolar setiap ekornya,
01:00
and they are used for bear paw soup,
16
45000
2000
dan digunakan untuk sup cakar beruang,
01:02
and also being trained, later on,
17
47000
2000
dan nantinya juga dilatih,
01:04
to become dancing bears like the one you just saw.
18
49000
4000
untuk menjadi beruang penari seperti yang baru kita lihat.
01:08
Sadly, the family of Qalandars depended on this bear.
19
53000
4000
Yang menyedihkan, masyarakat Kalander tergantung kepada beruang ini.
01:12
The couple are barely 18 years old.
20
57000
3000
Pasangan ini usianya belum 18 tahun.
01:15
They already have four children beside them. You can see them.
21
60000
3000
Mereka sudah punya empat anak. Anda bisa melihat mereka.
01:18
And the economy of the family and their livelihood depended on those animals.
22
63000
3000
Ekonomi dan kehidupan mereka tergantung kepada binatang itu.
01:21
So, we had to deal with it in a very practical and sustainable manner.
23
66000
3000
Kami harus menghadapi masalah yang sangat praktis dan berkesinambungan.
01:24
Now, when we started working deeper and digging deeper,
24
69000
3000
Jadi ketika kami mulai menggali lebih dalam,
01:27
we found that it's an illegal act.
25
72000
2000
kami menemukan bahwa ini ilegal.
01:29
These guys could go to jail for up to seven years
26
74000
3000
Mereka bisa dipenjara sampai tujuh tahun
01:32
if they were caught by authorities.
27
77000
2000
jika tertangkap oleh pihak berwenang.
01:34
And what they were doing to the bears was really appalling.
28
79000
2000
Dan yang mereka lakukan terhadap beruang itu sangat kejam.
01:36
It was unacceptable.
29
81000
3000
Tidak dapat diterima.
01:39
The mother bears are usually killed.
30
84000
2000
Ibu beruang biasanya dibunuh.
01:41
The cubs, which are taken, are separated.
31
86000
3000
Anak beruang yang diambil akan dipisahkan.
01:44
Their teeth are basically bashed out with a metal rod.
32
89000
3000
Gigi mereka dikikir dengan batang besi.
01:47
And they use a red hot iron needle to make a hole through the muzzle.
33
92000
4000
Dan mereka menggunakan jarum besi panas untuk melubangi moncongnya.
01:51
Now we had to start changing these people and converting them from using that
34
96000
4000
Kami harus mulai mengubah orang-orang ini dan memindahkan
01:55
for a livelihood, to getting something else.
35
100000
2000
penghidupan mereka pada sesuatu yang lain.
01:57
So, this is Bitu Qalandar, who was our first experiment.
36
102000
3000
Jadi, inilah Bitu Kalandar, eksperimen pertama kami.
02:00
And we were so unsure that this would work.
37
105000
2000
Saat itu kami tidak yakin hal ini akan berhasil.
02:02
We weren't sure at all. And we managed to convince him.
38
107000
3000
Kami tidak yakin sama sekali. Dan kami berhasil meyakinkannya.
02:05
And we said, "Okay, here is some seed fund.
39
110000
2000
Kami berkata, "Kami akan memberi bantuan modal.
02:07
Let's see if you can get something else." And we got the bear surrendered
40
112000
2000
Cobalah cari penghasilan dengan cara lain." Dan kami meminta beruang mereka
02:09
to -- we set up a sanctuary. We have four sanctuaries in India.
41
114000
3000
untuk -- kami mendirikan penampungan. Kami punya empat penampungan di India.
02:12
And now he sells cool drinks, he's by the highway.
42
117000
3000
Sekarang dia berjualan minuman dingin, di pinggir jalan raya.
02:15
He has a telephone booth.
43
120000
3000
Dia punya telepon umum.
02:18
And then it started, there was no turning back after that.
44
123000
2000
Lalu semua itu dimulai, tidak ada kata kembali setelah itu.
02:20
This is Sadua who came and surrendered his bear.
45
125000
2000
Inilah Sauda yang datang dan memberikan beruangnya.
02:22
And now he runs a cattle fodder store and a grain store
46
127000
4000
Sekarang dia punya toko bibit tanaman dan makanan ternak
02:26
near Agra.
47
131000
2000
di dekat Agra.
02:28
Then there was no looking back at all for us.
48
133000
2000
Tidak ada kata kembali untuk kami.
02:30
We gave cycle rickshaws.
49
135000
2000
Kami memberikan becak.
02:32
We set up carpet-weaving units,
50
137000
2000
Kami mendirikan unit pemintalan karpet,
02:34
vocational training for the women.
51
139000
2000
pelatihan ketrampilan untuk wanita.
02:36
The women were just not allowed to come out of the community
52
141000
2000
Wanita tidak diizinkan untuk keluar dari masyarakat itu
02:38
and work with mainstream society. So, we were able to address that.
53
143000
3000
dan bekerja di tempat umum. Jadi kami berhasil mengatasi hal itu.
02:41
Education. The kids never went to school.
54
146000
3000
Pendidikan. Anak-anak ini tidak pernah bersekolah.
02:44
They only had Islamic education, very little of it.
55
149000
2000
Mereka hanya mendapat sedikit pendidikan Islam.
02:46
And they were never allowed to go to school
56
151000
2000
Dan mereka tidak diizinkan pergi ke sekolah
02:48
because they were an extra earning hand at home. So we managed to get education.
57
153000
3000
karena mereka butuh tenaga tambahan di rumah. Kami pun berhasil memberikan pendidikan.
02:51
So, we sponsor 600 children education programs today.
58
156000
4000
Kami mensponsori program pendidikan bagi 600 anak sekarang.
02:55
We were able to ensure brighter futures for these people.
59
160000
2000
Kami berhasil memberikan masa depan yang lebih cerah untuk mereka
02:57
Of course we also had to get the bears in.
60
162000
3000
Tentu saja kami harus mengurusi beruang yang ada.
03:00
This is what happens to the bears when they come in.
61
165000
2000
Inilah yang terjadi dengan beruang itu saat kami terima.
03:02
And this is what we turn them into.
62
167000
2000
Dan inilah mereka setelah dalam perawatan kami.
03:04
We have a veterinary facility in our rescue centers.
63
169000
3000
Kami punya fasilitas kesehatan hewan di pusat penyelamatan kami.
03:07
So, basically in 2002 there were
64
172000
2000
Di tahun 2002 ada
03:09
1,200 dancing bears.
65
174000
2000
1.200 beruang penari.
03:11
We rescued over 550 dancing bears.
66
176000
3000
Kami menyelamatkan lebih dari 550 beruang penari.
03:14
We've been able to ensure better futures for the people and the bears.
67
179000
3000
Kami berhasil memberikan masa depan yang lebih cerah bagi beruang dan orang-orang itu.
03:17
The big news that I want to announce today
68
182000
2000
Kabar baik yang ingin saya umumkan hari ini adalah
03:19
is that next month we will be bringing in
69
184000
3000
bulan depan kami akan menerima
03:22
the very last bear of India,
70
187000
3000
beruang terakhir di India,
03:25
into our rescue center.
71
190000
2000
di pusat penyelamatan kami.
03:27
(Applause)
72
192000
4000
(Tepuk tangan)
03:31
And India will no longer have to witness this cruel barbaric practice
73
196000
4000
Dan India tidak perlu lagi menyaksikan praktik barbar yang kejam ini
03:35
which has been here for centuries.
74
200000
2000
yang telah ada selama berabad-abad.
03:37
And the people can hold their heads up high.
75
202000
2000
Kita bisa berbangga diri sekarang.
03:39
And the Qalandar people will rise above all this cruel barbaric past
76
204000
3000
Dan masyarakan Kalander bisa meninggalkan masa lalu barbar kejam ini
03:42
that they've lived all their lives.
77
207000
2000
yang sudah mereka jalani sejak lama.
03:44
And the beautiful bears can of course live in the wild again.
78
209000
3000
Dan beruang-beruang yang cantik ini bisa kembali hidup di alam liar.
03:47
And there will be no more removing of these bears.
79
212000
3000
Tidak ada lagi orang-orang yang mengambil beruang-beruang ini.
03:50
And the children, both humans and bear cubs
80
215000
3000
Anak-anak, baik manusia ataupun anak beruang
03:53
can live peacefully. Thank you.
81
218000
2000
bisa hidup dengan damai. Terima kasih.
03:55
(Applause)
82
220000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kartick Satyanarayan - Wildlife conservationistKartick Satyanarayan works tirelessly to save India’s wild animals from illegal captivity and poaching -- most notably rescuing hundreds of “dancing” bears.
Why you should listen
Known by many in India as the “Bear Man,” Kartick Satyanaran is the co-founder of Wildlife SOS -- a non-profit wildlife conservation organization famous for its campaign to rescue every “dancing” bear in the country. For many years, “dancing” sloth bears were the only livelihood of the Kalandar community, but the practice involves extreme cruelty by modern standards, endangers the bear population and is illegal today. He began the organization with his aunt and fellow animal rights champion Geeta Seshamani in 1995, and since then they have rescued over 550 bears.
Satyanaran began rescuing animals as a child, with a particular tendency to rescue snakes. Although he majored in business management in college, he returned to his early love of animal as a field assistant tracking tigers for the Wildlife Conservation Society. Now, through Wildlife SOS, he runs rescue and rehabilitation centers for India’s sloth bears, elephants, leopards and more, as well as several conservation and forest watch projects.
