Dabas fotogrāfs Franss Lantings izmanto dzīvības pilnus attēlus, lai ievestu mūs dziļi dzīvnieku valstībā. Šajā īsajā, taču krāšņajā runā viņš mūs aicina atjaunot saikni ar citām Zemes radībām un nomest metaforiskās ādas, kas mūs šķir vienu no otra.

Some years ago, it was my good fortune

Pirms dažiem gadiem
man bija tā lielā laime
man bija tā lielā laime
00:28
to meet a tribal elder on an island

satikt cilts vecāko.

His name is Jimmy Smith,
6
20860
2378
Viņa vārds bija Džimijs Smits,
00:35
and he shared a story with me
7
23238
2249
un viņš ar mani dalījās stāstā,
00:37
that is told among his people,
8
25487
2353
ko stāsta viņa laužu vidū,
00:39
who call themselves the Kwikwasut'inuxw.
9
27840

kas sevi dēvē par kvikvasutinukiem.
00:43
Once upon a time, he told me,
10
31035
2695
„Reiz sensenos laikos,” viņš teica,
00:45
all animals on Earth were one.
11
33730
2857
„visi dzīvnieki uz Zemes
bija viens vesels.
bija viens vesels.
00:48
Even though they look different on the outside,
12
36587
2924
Kaut arī tie ārēji izskatījās atšķirīgi,
00:51
inside, they're all the same,
13
39511
3240
iekšēji tie visi bija vienādi,
00:54
and from time to time they would gather
14
42751
2655
un laiku pa laikam tie esot pulcējušies
00:57
at a sacred cave deep inside the forest
15
45406
2750
svētā alā dziļi mežā,
01:00
to celebrate their unity.
16
48156
2492
lai svinētu savu vienotību.
01:02
When they arrived,
17
50648
1744
Tiem ierodoties,
01:04
they would all take off their skins.
18
52392
2528
tie visi esot atbrīvojušies no savām ādām.
01:06
Raven shed his feathers, bear his fur,
19
54920
3524
Krauklis esot nometis savas spalvas,
lācis — kažoku, un lasis — zvīņas,
01:10
and salmon her scales,
20
58444
2463
01:12
and then, they would dance.
21
60907
2922
un tad tie dejojuši.
01:15
But one day, a human made it to the cave
22
63829
3301
Taču vienudien līdz alai nokļuva cilvēks
01:19
and laughed at what he saw
23
67130
1584
un smējās par redzēto,
01:20
because he did not understand.
24
68714
3124
jo viņš nesaprata.
01:23
Embarrassed, the animals fled,
25
71838
2869
Nokaunējušies dzīvnieki aizbēga,
01:26
and that was the last time
26
74707
2227
un tā bija pēdējā reize,
01:28
they revealed themselves this way.
27
76934
3622
kad tie šādi atklājās.”
01:32
The ancient understanding that underneath
28
80556
2684
Senā izpratne,
ka zem to atsevišķajām identitātēm
visi dzīvnieki ir viens vesels,
visi dzīvnieki ir viens vesels,
01:35
their separate identities, all animals are one,
29
83240
2903
01:38
has been a powerful inspiration to me.
30
86143
3738
mani ir ļoti iedvesmojusi.
01:41
I like to get past the fur, the feathers
31
89881
3063
Man patīk ielūkoties
cauri kažokam, spalvām un zvīņām.
cauri kažokam, spalvām un zvīņām.

and the scales.
32
92944
1629
01:46
I want to get under the skin.
33
94573
2228
Es vēlos ielīst viņu ādās.
01:48
No matter whether I'm facing a giant elephant
34
96801
2800
Vienalga, vai lūkojos uz milzu ziloni
01:51
or a tiny tree frog,
35
99601
2148
vai sīciņu kokvardīti,
01:53
my goal is to connect us with them, eye to eye.
36
101749
6892
mans nolūks ir radīt saikni
starp mums un viņiem, aci pret aci.

02:00
You may wonder, do I ever photograph people?

Jūs, iespējams, domājat,

As a photographer,

Kā fotogrāfs
02:22
I try to reach beyond the differences
45
130485

es cenšos aizsniegties tālāk par mūsu
ģenētiski noteiktās ārienes atšķirībām,
ģenētiski noteiktās ārienes atšķirībām,

ar ikvienu citu dzīvo radību.
02:30
with every other living thing.

02:34
When I use my camera,
49
142239
2329
Izmantojot fotoaparātu,
02:36
I drop my skin
50
144568
1923
es nometu savu ādu
02:38
like the animals at that cave
51
146491
2700
gluži kā dzīvnieki tajā alā,
02:41
so I can show who they really are.
52
149191
3937
lai varētu parādīt to patieso būtību.
02:45
As animals blessed
53
153128
2250
Kā ar racionālās domāšanas
spēku apveltīti dzīvnieki

02:47
with the power of rational thought,
54
155378
3374
mēs varam apbrīnot dzīvības smalkumu.
02:50
we can marvel at the intricacies of life.
55
158752
4533
02:55
As citizens of a planet in trouble,
56
163285
2836
Kā briesmās esošas planētas pilsoņiem
02:58
it is our moral responsibility
57
166121
2564
mūsu morālā atbildība
03:00
to deal with the dramatic loss in diversity of life.
58
168685
5555
ir cīnīties pret dramatisko
dzīvības daudzveidības zudumu.
dzīvības daudzveidības zudumu.
03:06
But as humans with hearts,
59
174240
1867
Taču kā cilvēki ar sirdīm
03:08
we can all rejoice in the unity of life,
60
176107
3933
mēs visi varam līksmot
par dzīvības vienotību,
par dzīvības vienotību,
03:12
and perhaps we can change
61
180040
2840
un varbūt varam mainīt to,
03:14
what once happened in that sacred cave.
62
182880
3880
kas reiz notika tajā svētajā alā.
03:18
Let's find a way to join the dance.
63

Atradīsim veidu,
kā pievienoties šai dejai!

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.
