V jeho rodnej Namíbií, John Kasaona vytvoril inovatívny spôsob ako ochrániť ohrozené živočíšne druhy: poverením okolitých dedinčanov (vrátane bývalých pytliakov) byť za ne zodpovední. A funguje to.

In Africa we say,
0
1000
2000
V Afrike hovoríme,
00:18
"God gave the white man a watch
1
3000
3000
"Boh dal bielemu mužovi hodinky
00:21
and gave the black man time."
2
6000
2000
a čiernemu čas."
00:23
(Laughter)
3
8000
3000
(smiech)
00:27
I think, how is it possible
4
12000
2000
Myslím na to ako je možné
00:29
for a man with so much time
5
14000
2000
pre muža s takým množstvom času
00:31
to tell his story in 18 minutes?
6
16000
2000
vypovedať svoj príbeh v 18 minútach.
00:33
I think it will be quite a challenge for me.
7
18000
3000
Myslím, že to bude pre mňa celkom výzvou.
00:36
Most African stories these days,
8
21000
2000
Väčšina Afrických príbehov v týchto časoch
00:38
they talk about famine,
9
23000
2000
hovoria o hladomore,
00:40
HIV and AIDS,
10
25000
2000
HIV a AIDS,
00:42
poverty or war.
11
27000
3000
chudobe alebo vojne.
00:45
But my story that I would like to share with you today
12
30000
2000
Ale môj príbeh, o ktorý by som sa s vami dnes chcel podeliť
00:47
is the one about success.
13
32000
3000
je príbehom o úspechu.
00:50
It is about a country
14
35000
2000
Je o krajine
00:52
in the southwest of Africa
15
37000
3000
na juhovýchode Afriky
00:55
called Namibia.
16
40000
2000
zvanej Namíbia
00:57
Namibia has got 2.1 million people,
17
42000
3000
Namíbia má 2.1 milióna obyvateľov,
01:01
but it is only twice the size of California.
18
46000
3000
ale iba dvakrát väčšiu rozlohu ako Kalifornia.
01:05
I come from a region
19
50000
2000
Pochádzam z regiónu
01:07
in the remote northwest part of the country.
20
52000
3000
v odľahlej svereozápadnej časti krajiny.
01:10
It's called Kunene region.
21
55000
2000
Volá sa Kunene.
01:12
And in the center of Kunene region
22
57000
2000
A v centre regiónu Kunene
01:14
is the village of Sesfontein. This is where I was born.
23
59000
3000
je dedinka Sesfontain. Tam som sa narodil.
01:17
This is where I'm coming from.
24
62000
2000
Odtiaľto pochádzam.
01:19
Most people that are following the story
25
64000
2000
Väčšina ľudí, ktorí sledujú príbeh
01:21
of Angelina Jolie
26
66000
2000
Angeliny Jolie
01:23
and Brad Pitt
27
68000
2000
a Brada Pitta
01:25
will know where Namibia is.
28
70000
3000
budú vedieť kde je Namíbia.
01:28
They love Namibia
29
73000
2000
Milujú Namíbiu
01:30
for its beautiful dunes,
30
75000
2000
pre jej krásne duny,
01:32
that are even taller
31
77000
2000
ktoré sú vyššie
01:34
than the Empire State Building.
32
79000
3000
ako Empire State Building.
01:38
Wind and time have twisted our landscape
33
83000
3000
Vietor a čas pokrútili nášu zem
01:42
into very strange shapes,
34
87000
3000
do veľmi zvláštnych tvarov.
01:45
and these shapes are speckled with wildlife
35
90000
3000
A tieto tvary sú pokryté divou zverou,
01:48
that has become so adapted
36
93000
2000
ktorá sa adaptovala
01:50
to this harsh and strange land.
37
95000
3000
tejt nehostinnej a zvláštnej zemi.
01:53
I'm a Himba.
38
98000
2000
Ja som Himba.
01:55
You might wonder, why are you wearing these Western clothes?
39
100000
3000
Mohli by ste sa čudovať prečo nosím tieto Západniarske šaty.
01:59
I'm a Himba and Namibian.
40
104000
2000
Som Himba a Namíbijčan.
02:01
A Himba is one of the 29
41
106000
2000
Himba je jedna z 29
02:03
ethnic groups in Namibia.
42
108000
2000
etnických skupín v Namíbii.
02:05
We live a very traditional lifestyle.
43
110000
3000
Žijeme veľmi tradičným spôsobom života.
02:09
I grew up herding,
44
114000
2000
Vyrastal som pasúc,
02:11
looking after our livestock --
45
116000
2000
dávajúc pozor na dobytok --
02:13
goats, sheep and cattle.
46
118000
3000
kozy, ovce a kravy.
02:16
And one day,
47
121000
3000
A jedného dňa
02:19
my father actually took me into the bush.
48
124000
2000
ma môj otec zobral do buše.
02:21
He said, "John,
49
126000
2000
Povedal mi: "John,
02:23
I want you to become a good herder.
50
128000
3000
chcem aby sa z teba stal dobrý pastier.
02:26
Boy, if you are looking after our livestock
51
131000
3000
Chlapče, keď budeš dávať pozor na náš dobytok
02:29
and you see a cheetah
52
134000
2000
a uvidíš geparda
02:31
eating our goat --
53
136000
2000
ako požiera našu kozu,
02:33
cheetah is very nervous --
54
138000
2000
gepard je veľmi nervózny.
02:35
just walk up to it.
55
140000
2000
Jednoducho k nemu príď.
02:37
Walk up to it and smack it on the backside."
56
142000
3000
Príď a udri ho po zadku."
02:40
(Laughter)
57
145000
2000
(smiech)
02:42
"And he will let go of the goat
58
147000
2000
"A on pustí kozu
02:44
and run off."
59
149000
2000
a utečie."
02:46
But then he said,
60
151000
2000
Ale potom hovorí:
02:49
"Boy, if you run into a lion,
61
154000
3000
"Chlapče, ak natrafíš na leva,
02:54
don't move.
62
159000
2000
nehýb sa.
02:56
Don't move. Stand your ground.
63
161000
3000
Nehýb sa. Ani sa nehni.
02:59
Puff up and just look it in the eye
64
164000
3000
Nafúkni sa a pozri sa mu do očí
03:02
and it may not want to fight you."
65
167000
3000
a možno sa s tebou nebude chcieť biť."
03:05
(Laughter)
66
170000
4000
(smiech)
03:09
But then, he said,
67
174000
2000
Ale potom vraví:
03:11
"If you see a leopard,
68
176000
3000
"Ak uvidíš leoparda,
03:16
boy, you better run like hell."
69
181000
3000
chlapče, utekaj ako o život."
03:19
(Laughter)
70
184000
4000
(smiech)
03:23
"Imagine you run faster than those goats you are looking after."
71
188000
3000
"Predstav si, že utekáš rýchlejšie ako tie kozy, na ktoré dávaš pozor."
03:26
In this way --
72
191000
2000
Takto --
03:28
(Laughter)
73
193000
3000
(smiech)
03:31
In this way, I actually started to learn about nature.
74
196000
3000
Takýmto spôsobom som sa začal učiť o prírode.
03:35
In addition to being an ordinary Namibian
75
200000
3000
Viete, okrem toho, že som Namíbijčan
03:38
and in addition to being a Himba
76
203000
2000
a okrem toho, že som Himba
03:40
I'm also a trained conservationist.
77
205000
3000
soom tiež trénovaný ochranca prírody.
03:43
And it is very important if you are in the field
78
208000
3000
A je veľmi dôležité, keď ste v teréne
03:46
to know what to confront
79
211000
2000
aby ste vedeli, čo konfrontovať
03:48
and what to run from.
80
213000
3000
a pred čím utekať.
03:51
I was born in 1971.
81
216000
2000
Narodil som sa v roku 1971.
03:53
We lived under apartheid regime.
82
218000
3000
Žili sme v aparteidnom režime.
03:57
The whites could farm, graze
83
222000
3000
Bieli mohli farmárčiť, pásť
04:00
and hunt as they wished,
84
225000
2000
a loviť ako sa im zachcelo,
04:02
but we black, we were not regarded as responsible
85
227000
3000
ale my čierni sme neboli považovaní za zodpovedných
04:05
to use wildlife.
86
230000
2000
na využívanie divočiny.
04:07
Whenever we tried to hunt,
87
232000
2000
Vždy keď sme sa pokúšali loviť
04:09
we were called poachers.
88
234000
2000
nazvali nás pytliakmi.
04:11
And as a result, we were fined and locked up in jail.
89
236000
3000
A ako výsledok sme dostali pokutu alebo nás uväznili.
04:16
Between 1966 and 1990,
90
241000
3000
Medzi rokmi 1966 a 1990
04:19
the U.S. and Soviet interests
91
244000
3000
Americké a Sovietske záujmy
04:22
fought for control over my country.
92
247000
3000
bojovali o kontrolu nad mojou krajinou.
04:25
And you know, during war time,
93
250000
2000
A viete, vo vojnových dobách
04:27
there are militaries, armies, that are moving around.
94
252000
3000
sa po okolí pohybujú milície, armády.
04:30
And the army hunted for valuable rhino horns
95
255000
3000
A armáda lovila vzácne rohy nosorožcov
04:33
and tusks.
96
258000
2000
a slonovinu.
04:35
They could sell these things for anything between
97
260000
3000
A mohli predávať tieto veci po niečo medzi
04:38
$5,000 a kilo.
98
263000
2000
5000 amerických dolárov za kilo.
04:40
During the same year
99
265000
2000
Počas toho istého roku
04:42
almost every Himba had a rifle.
100
267000
3000
takmer každý Himba mal pušku.
04:45
Because it was wartime,
101
270000
2000
Pretože bola vojna,
04:47
the British .303 rifle
102
272000
2000
Britská .303-ka
04:49
was just all over the whole country.
103
274000
3000
bola snáď po celej krajine.
04:53
Then in the same time, around 1980,
104
278000
2000
Potom v rovnaký čas, okolo roku 1980
04:55
we had a very big drought.
105
280000
3000
sme mali veľmi veľké sucho.
04:58
It killed almost everything that was left.
106
283000
3000
Zabilo takmer všetko čo ešte zostalo.
05:01
Our livestock was
107
286000
2000
Náš dobytok
05:03
almost at the brink of extinction,
108
288000
2000
bol takmer na pokraji vyhynutia,
05:05
protected as well.
109
290000
2000
tak ako jeho úroveň ochrany.
05:07
We were hungry.
110
292000
2000
Boli sme hladní.
05:09
I remember a night
111
294000
2000
Pamätám si noc,
05:11
when a hungry leopard
112
296000
2000
keď hladný leopard
05:13
went into the house
113
298000
2000
vošiel do domu
05:15
of one of our neighbors
114
300000
2000
jednoho z našich susedov
05:17
and took a sleeping child out of the bed.
115
302000
2000
a zobral jeho spiace dieťa z postielky.
05:19
It's a very sad story.
116
304000
3000
Je to veľmi smutný príbeh.
05:22
But even today,
117
307000
2000
Ale i dnes
05:24
that memory is still in people's minds.
118
309000
2000
je tá spomienka stále v pamäti ľudí.
05:26
They can pinpoint the exact location
119
311000
2000
Dokážu ukázať na presné miesto,
05:28
where this all happened.
120
313000
3000
kde sa to celé odohralo.
05:31
And then, in the same year,
121
316000
2000
A potom, toho istého roku
05:33
we almost lost everything.
122
318000
3000
sme prišli takmer o všetko.
05:36
And my father said, "Why don't you just go to school?"
123
321000
4000
A môj otec povedal: "Prečo jednoducho nejdeš do školy?"
05:40
And they sent me off to school, just to get busy somewhere there.
124
325000
3000
A poslali ma do školy, aby som sa nejako zabavil niekde inde.
05:43
And the year I went to school,
125
328000
2000
A toho roku, ako som sa dostal do školy
05:45
my father actually got a job with a non-governmental organization
126
330000
3000
môj otec dostal prácu pre mimovládnu organizáciu
05:48
called IRDNC, Integrated Rural Development and Nature Conservation.
127
333000
4000
zvanú IRVZP (originál IRDNC) -- Integrovaný Rozvoj Vidieka a Zachovanie Prírody.
05:52
They actually spend a lot of time a year in the communities.
128
337000
4000
Oni skutočne mnoho času cez rok trávia v komunitách.
05:56
They were trusted by the local communities
129
341000
3000
Lokálne komunity im dôverovali
05:59
like our leader, Joshua Kangombe.
130
344000
3000
tak ako nášmu vodcovi, Joshuovi Kangombemu.
06:02
Joshua Kangombe saw what was happening:
131
347000
2000
Joshua Kangombe videl čo sa dialo:
06:04
wildlife disappearing,
132
349000
2000
divočina mizla,
06:06
poaching was skyrocketing,
133
351000
3000
pytliactvo bolo na enormnom vzostupe,
06:09
and the situation seemed very hopeless.
134
354000
3000
a situácia sa zdala byť veľmi beznádejná.
06:12
Death and despair surrounded Joshua
135
357000
3000
Smrť a zúfalstvo obklopili Joshuu
06:15
and our entire communities.
136
360000
3000
a celé naše komunity.
06:18
But then, the people from IRDNC proposed to Joshua:
137
363000
5000
Ale potom ľudia z IRVZP (orig. IRDNC) navrhli Joshuovi:
06:23
What if we pay people that you trust
138
368000
4000
Čo ak zaplatíme ľudom, ktorým dôveruješ,
06:27
to look after wildlife?
139
372000
3000
aby sa starali o divú zver?
06:30
Do you have anybody in your communities, or people,
140
375000
3000
Máš niekoho vo svojich komunitách, alebo viacerých,
06:33
that know the bush very well
141
378000
2000
čo poznajú veľmi dobre buš
06:35
and that know wildlife very well?
142
380000
3000
a poznajú veľmi dobre divú zver?
06:38
The headman said: "Yes. Our poachers."
143
383000
4000
Náčelník povedal: "Áno. Naši pytliaci."
06:42
"Eh? The poachers?"
144
387000
2000
"Ehm? Pytliaci?"
06:44
"Yes. Our poachers."
145
389000
2000
"Áno. Naši pytliaci."
06:46
And that was my father.
146
391000
3000
A to bol môj otec.
06:49
My father has been a poacher for quite a long time.
147
394000
4000
Môj otec bol pytliakom dosť dlhý čas.
06:53
Instead of shooting poachers dead
148
398000
3000
Namiesto ošetrovania pytliackeho dlhu
06:56
like they were doing elsewhere in Africa,
149
401000
3000
ako to robili všade inde v Afrike,
06:59
IRDNC has helped men reclaim their abilities
150
404000
5000
IRVZP dopomohla mužom znovu nadobudnúť svoje schopnosti
07:04
to manage their peoples
151
409000
2000
viesť svojich ľudí
07:06
and their rights to own and manage wildlife.
152
411000
3000
a ich práva vlastniť a využivať divočinu.
07:10
And thus, as people started feeling ownership over wildlife,
153
415000
4000
A tak, ako ľudia začali pociťovať vlastníctvo nad divočinou,
07:14
wildlife numbers started coming back,
154
419000
3000
počty zveri sa začali vracať späť
07:17
and that's actually becoming a foundation for conservation in Namibia.
155
422000
5000
a to sa skutočne stalo základam pre ochranu prírody v Namíbii.
07:22
With independence, the whole approach of community getting involved
156
427000
3000
S nezávislosťou, celý postup zapojenia komunity
07:25
was embraced by our new government.
157
430000
3000
bol prijatý našou vládou.
07:28
Three things that actually help to build on this foundation:
158
433000
3000
Tri veci skutočne pomáhali budovať na tomto základe:
07:31
The very first one is
159
436000
2000
Úplne prvou je
07:33
honoring of tradition and being open to new ideas.
160
438000
4000
uctievanie tradícii a otvorenosť novým nápadom.
07:37
Here is our tradition:
161
442000
2000
Toto je naša tradícia.
07:39
At every Himba village, there is a sacred fire.
162
444000
3000
V každej Himba dedine je posvätný oheň.
07:43
And at this sacred fire, the spirit of our ancestors
163
448000
3000
A pri tomto posvätnom ohni, duchovia našich predkov
07:46
speak through the headman
164
451000
3000
prehovárajú cez náčelníka
07:49
and advise us where to get water,
165
454000
3000
a radia nám kde získať vodu,
07:52
where to get grazings,
166
457000
2000
kde pásť
07:54
and where to go and hunt.
167
459000
3000
a kam ísť na lov.
07:57
And I think this is the best way of regulating ourselves
168
462000
3000
A myslím, že toto je najlepšia cesta ako spolunažívať
08:00
on the environment.
169
465000
3000
s našim prostredím.
08:03
And here are the new ideas.
170
468000
3000
A tu sú tie nové nápady.
08:06
Transporting rhinos using helicopters
171
471000
3000
Premiestňovanie nosorožcov pomocou vrtuľníka
08:09
I think is much easier
172
474000
2000
je, myslím, oveľa jednoduchšie
08:11
than talking through a spirit that you can't see, isn't it?
173
476000
3000
ako rozprávať cez ducha, ktorého ani nevidíte, no nie?
08:14
And these things we were taught by outsiders.
174
479000
3000
A tieto veci nás učili cudzinci.
08:17
We learned these things from outsiders.
175
482000
3000
Tieto veci sme sa naučili od cudzincov.
08:20
We needed new boundaries to describe our traditional lands;
176
485000
4000
Potrebovali sme nové hranice aby sme popísali naše tradičné územia;
08:24
we needed to learn more things like GPS
177
489000
4000
potrebovali sme sa naučiť viac o veciach ako GPS
08:28
just to see whether --
178
493000
3000
len aby sme videli,
08:31
can GPS really reflect the true reflection of the land
179
496000
3000
či GPS môže ozaj odrážať skutočný obraz zeme
08:34
or is this just a thing made somewhere in the West?
180
499000
3000
alebo je to len vec vyrobená niekde na Západe?
08:37
And we then wanted to see whether we can match our
181
502000
4000
A potom sme chceli vidieť či môžme porovnať
08:41
ancestral maps with digital maps made somewhere in the world.
182
506000
4000
mapy našich predkov a digitálne mapy vyrobené niekde vo svete.
08:45
And through this,
183
510000
3000
A takto
08:48
we actually started realizing our dreams,
184
513000
4000
sme si vlastne začali realizovať naše sny
08:52
and we maintained honoring our traditions
185
517000
3000
a naďalej sme uctievali naše tradície,
08:55
but we were still open to new ideas.
186
520000
2000
ale boli sme otvorení novým nápadom.
08:57
The second element is that we wanted to have a life,
187
522000
3000
Druhý element je, že sme chceli mať život,
09:00
a better life where we can benefit through many things.
188
525000
3000
lepší život, kde môžme prosperovať skrz veľa vecí.
09:03
Most poachers, like my father,
189
528000
4000
Väčšina pytliakov, ako môj otec,
09:07
were people from our own community.
190
532000
3000
boli ľudia z našej vlastnej komunity.
09:10
They were not people from outside.
191
535000
2000
Neboli to ľudia z vonku.
09:12
These were our own people.
192
537000
2000
Boli to naši ľudia.
09:14
And sometimes, once they were caught,
193
539000
3000
A niekedy, keď ich chytili,
09:17
they were treated with respect, brought back into the communities
194
542000
3000
bolo s nimi zaobchádzané s rešpektom, boli dovedení naspäť do komunít
09:20
and they were made part of the bigger dreams.
195
545000
3000
a stali sa sučasťou vačších snov.
09:23
The best one, like my father -- I'm not campaigning for my father --
196
548000
3000
Tí najlepší, podobne ako môj otec -- nerobím teraz reklamu otcovi --
09:26
(Laughter)
197
551000
2000
(smiech)
09:28
they were put in charge to stop others from poaching.
198
553000
4000
dostali za úlohu brániť ostatným v pytliačení.
09:32
And when this thing started going on,
199
557000
3000
A keď sa táto vec začala rozbiehať,
09:35
we started becoming one community,
200
560000
3000
stali sme sa jednou komunitou;
09:38
renewing our connection to nature.
201
563000
2000
spoznali sme naše spojenie s prírodou.
09:40
And that was a very strong thing in Namibia.
202
565000
4000
A to bola veľmi, veľmi silná vec v Namíbii.
09:46
The last element that actually helped develop these things
203
571000
3000
Posledný element, ktorý vlastne pomohol rozvinúť tieto veci
09:49
was the partnerships.
204
574000
2000
boli partnerstvá.
09:51
Our government has given legal status over our traditional lands.
205
576000
5000
Naša vláda dala legálny štatút našim tradičným územiam.
09:56
The other partners that we have got
206
581000
3000
Ďaľší partneri, ktorých máme
09:59
is business communities.
207
584000
2000
su obchodné komunity.
10:01
Business communities helped bring Namibia onto the world map
208
586000
5000
Obchodné komunity pomohli priniesť Namíbiu na svetové mapy
10:06
and they have also helped make wildlife
209
591000
3000
a taktiež pomohli spraviť divočinu
10:09
a very valuable land use like any other land uses
210
594000
5000
hodnotným územím, tak ako iné územia,
10:14
such as agriculture.
211
599000
2000
napríklad poľnohospodárske.
10:16
And most of my conservation colleagues today
212
601000
3000
A väčšina mojich ochranárskych kolegov, dnes,
10:19
that you find in Namibia
213
604000
2000
ktorých nájdete v Namíbii,
10:21
have been trained through the initiative,
214
606000
2000
boli vycvičení cez iniciatívu,
10:23
through the involvement of World Wildlife Fund
215
608000
3000
skrz zapojenie Svetového fondu pre divočinu (orig. World Wildlife Fund)
10:26
in the most up-to-date conservation practices.
216
611000
3000
v tých najaktuálnejších ochranárskych praktikách.
10:29
They have also given funding for two decades
217
614000
3000
Taktiež poskytli financovanie na dve desaťročia
10:32
to this whole program.
218
617000
3000
pre celý tento program.
10:35
And so far, with the support of World Wildlife Fund,
219
620000
3000
A zatiaľ, s podporou Svetového fondu pre divočinu (WWF),
10:38
we've been able to scale up the very small programs
220
623000
3000
sa nám podarilo rozvinúť veľmi malé programy
10:41
to national programs today.
221
626000
2000
na dnes národné programy.
10:43
Namibia ... or Sesfontein
222
628000
3000
Namíbia ... Alebo, Sesfontein
10:46
was no more an isolated village somewhere,
223
631000
3000
už nie je izolovanou osadou niekde,
10:49
hidden away in Namibia.
224
634000
3000
schovanou v Namíbií.
10:52
With these assets we are now part of the global village.
225
637000
3000
S týmito položkami sme teraz súčasťou svetovej osady.
10:55
Thirty years have passed
226
640000
3000
Prešlo 30 rokov
10:58
since my father's first job as a community game guard.
227
643000
4000
odkedy môj otec prvý krát dostal prácu ako komunitný strážca.
11:02
It's very unfortunate that he passed away and he cannot see the success
228
647000
4000
Je neštastím, že sa pobral na onen svet a nemôže vidieť ten úspech
11:06
as I and my children see it today.
229
651000
3000
tak ako ja alebo moje deti vidíme dnes.
11:09
When I finished school in 1995,
230
654000
2000
Keď som skončil školu v roku 1995,
11:11
there were only 20 lions in the entire Northwest -- in our area.
231
656000
5000
bolo iba 20 levov na celom Severozápade -- v našej oblasti.
11:16
But today, there are more than 130 lions.
232
661000
6000
Ale dnes je tam viac než 130 levov.
11:22
(Applause)
233
667000
6000
(potlesk)
11:28
So please, if you go to Namibia,
234
673000
2000
Takže prosím, ak pôjdete do Namíbie,
11:30
make sure that you stay in the tents.
235
675000
2000
uistite sa, že zostanete v stanoch.
11:32
Don't walk out at night!
236
677000
2000
Nevychádzajte v noci von!
11:34
(Laughter)
237
679000
1000
(smiech)
11:35
The black rhino -- they were almost extinct in 1982.
238
680000
5000
Čierny nosorožec -- takmer vyhynul v roku 1982.
11:40
But today, Kunene has the largest concentration of black rhino --
239
685000
4000
Ale dnes Kunene má najväčšiu koncentráciu čierneho nosorožca --
11:44
free-roaming black rhinos -- in the world.
240
689000
3000
voľne pohybujúceho sa čierneho nosorožca -- vo svete.
11:47
This is outside the protected area.
241
692000
3000
Toto je mimo chránenej oblasti.
11:50
(Applause)
242
695000
3000
(potlesk)
11:53
The leopard -- they are now in big numbers
243
698000
4000
leoperd -- tí majú teraz vysoké počty
11:57
but they are now far away from our village,
244
702000
2000
ale sú ďaleko od našej osady
11:59
because the natural plain has multiplied,
245
704000
3000
pretože prírodná pláň sa znásobila
12:02
like zebras, springboks and everything.
246
707000
3000
tak ako zebry, antilopy a všetko.
12:05
They stay very much far away
247
710000
3000
Dnes sú tak ďaleko
12:08
because this other thing has multiplied
248
713000
2000
pretože všetky tieto ostatné veci sa znásobili
12:10
from less than a thousand to tens of thousands of animals.
249
715000
4000
z menej ako tisícok k desiatkám tisícov zvierat.
12:14
What started as very small,
250
719000
4000
A čo začalo ako veľmi malé,
12:18
community rangers getting community involved,
251
723000
3000
komunitní strážci zapájajúci komunity
12:21
has now grown into something that we call conservancies.
252
726000
4000
sa rozrástlo na niečo, čo nazývame Ochranárske združenia.
12:25
Conservancies are legally instituted institutions
253
730000
6000
Ochranárske združenia sú legálne inštitúcie založené
12:31
by the government,
254
736000
2000
samotnou vládou
12:33
and these are run by the communities themselves, for their benefit.
255
738000
3000
a tieto sú prevádzkované komunitami samotnými z dobročinnosti.
12:36
Today, we have got 60 conservancies
256
741000
3000
Dnes máme 60 združení
12:39
that manage and protect over 13 million hectares
257
744000
4000
ktoré spravujú a chránia cez 13 miliónov hektárov
12:43
of land in Namibia.
258
748000
3000
územia v Namíbii.
12:46
We have already reshaped conservation in the entire country.
259
751000
5000
Už teraz sme úplne pretvarovali ochranu prírody v celej krajine.
12:51
Nowhere else in the world
260
756000
2000
Nikde inde na svete
12:53
has community-adopted conservation at this scale.
261
758000
4000
neadoptovala komunita ochranu prírody v takom rozsahu.
12:57
(Applause)
262
762000
5000
(potlesk)
13:02
In 2008, conservancy generated 5.7 million dollars.
263
767000
5000
V 2008, ochranárstvo vyprodukovalo 5.7 milióna dolárov.
13:07
This is our new economy --
264
772000
3000
Toto je naša nová ekonomika --
13:10
an economy based on the respect of our natural resources.
265
775000
3000
ekonomika založená na rešpektovaní našich prírodných zdrojov.
13:13
And we are able to use this money for many things:
266
778000
3000
A sme schopní použiť tieto peniaze na mnohé veci.
13:16
Very importantly, we put it in education.
267
781000
3000
Čo je veľmi dôležité venujeme ich na vzdelanie.
13:19
Secondly, we put it for infrastructure. Food.
268
784000
3000
Po druhé, venujeme ich na infraštruktúru. Jedlo.
13:22
Very important as well -- we invest this money in AIDS and HIV education.
269
787000
5000
Taktiež dôležite -- investujeme ich do vzdelávania o AIDS a HIV.
13:27
You know that Africa is being affected by these viruses.
270
792000
4000
Viete, že Afrika je postihnutá týmito vírusmi.
13:31
And this is the good news from Africa
271
796000
4000
A toto sú dobré správy z Afriky,
13:35
that we have to shout from the rooftops.
272
800000
3000
ktoré musíme kričať zo striech.
13:38
(Applause)
273
803000
7000
(potlesk)
13:45
And now, what the world really needs
274
810000
4000
A teraz, čo svet ozaj potrebuje
13:49
is for you to help me and our partners
275
814000
7000
od Vás, je pomôcť mne a našim partnerom
13:56
take some of what we have learned in Namibia
276
821000
4000
zobrať to, čo sme sa naučili v Namíbii
14:00
to other places with similar problems:
277
825000
4000
do ďaľších miest s podobnými problémami:
14:04
places like Mongolia,
278
829000
4000
miesta ako Monglosko
14:08
or even in your own backyards,
279
833000
4000
alebo váš vlastný zadný dvor,
14:12
the Northern Great Plains,
280
837000
3000
Veľké Severné Pláne
14:15
where buffalo and other animals have suffered
281
840000
3000
kde byvol a iné zvieratá trpeli
14:18
and many communities are in decline.
282
843000
3000
a mnohé komunity sú v zániku.
14:21
I like that one:
283
846000
3000
To sa mi páči.
14:24
Namibia serving as a model to Africa,
284
849000
4000
Namíbia slúžiac ako model Afrike
14:28
and Africa serving as a model to the United States.
285
853000
5000
a Afrika slúžiac ako model Spojeným štátom.
14:33
(Applause)
286
858000
8000
(potlesk)
14:41
We were successful in Namibia
287
866000
2000
V Namíbii sme boli úspešní
14:43
because we dreamed of a future
288
868000
3000
pretože sme snívali o budúcnosti,
14:46
that was much more than just a healthy wildlife.
289
871000
5000
ktorá bola oveľa viac než len zdravá divočina.
14:51
We knew conservation would fail
290
876000
4000
Vedeli sme, že ochrana prírody zlyhá
14:55
if it doesn't work to improve the lives of the local communities.
291
880000
7000
pokiaľ nezlepší životy lokálnych komunít.
15:02
So, come and talk to me about Namibia,
292
887000
5000
Tak, prídte a porozprávajte sa so mnou o Namíbii
15:07
and better yet, come to Namibia
293
892000
3000
a ešte lepšie, príďte do Namíbie
15:10
and see for yourself how we have done it.
294
895000
2000
a pozrite sa na vlastné oči ako sme to spravili.
15:12
And please, do visit our website
295
897000
3000
A prosím, navštívte naše webové stránky
15:15
to learn more and see how you can help CBNRM
296
900000
3000
aby ste sa dozvedeli ako môžete pomôct CBNRM
15:18
in Africa and across the world.
297
903000
3000
v Afrike a celom svete.
15:21
Thank you very much.
298
906000
3000
Veľmi pekne vám ďakujem.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
John Kasaona - ConservationistJohn Kasaona is a pioneer of community-based conservation -- working with the people who use and live on fragile land to enlist them in protecting it.
Why you should listen
John Kasaona is a leader in the drive to reinvent conservation in Namibia -- turning poachers into protectors of species. It’s a standard nature-documentary scenario: a pristine animal habitat under constant threat by the people who live there, hunting, camping, setting fires. But John Kasaona knows there is a better way to see this relationship between people and environment. As the assistant director for the Integrated Rural Development and Nature Conservation (IRDNC) , Kasaona works on ways to improve the lives of rural people in Namibia by involving them in the management of the lands they live on -- and the species that live there with them.
Kasanoa's Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) program helps rural villages set up communal conservancies, which manage and use local natural resources in a sustainable manner. Essentially, it's about restoring the balance of land and people to that of pre-colonial times, and allowing the people with the most interest in the survival of their environment to have control of it. His work was featured in the recent film Milking the Rhino.
The World Wildlife Fund has set up a portal for TEDsters to help in John Kasaona's work. Learn more >>
