Fotograf prirode Frens Lenting koristi realistične slike kako bi nas odveo duboko u životinjsko carstvo. U ovom kratkom, vizuelnom govoru, on nas poziva da se ponovo povežemo sa drugim zemaljskim stvorenjima, kao i da se oslobodimo metaforičkog krzna koje nas deli jedne od drugih.

Ljudska vrsta je u centru pažnje na TED-u,
00:15
but I would like to add
a voice for the animals,
a voice for the animals,

ali želeo bih da dodam
i glas za životinje,
i glas za životinje,
00:19
whose bodies and minds
and spirits shaped us.

Some years ago, it was my good fortune
3
13112
3246
Pre nekoliko godina, imao sam sreće
00:28
to meet a tribal elder on an island
4
16358
1948
da sretnem starešinu plemena na ostrvu
00:30
not far from Vancouver.
5
18306
2554
nedaleko od Vankuvera.
00:32
His name is Jimmy Smith,
6
20860
2378
On se zove Džimi Smit
00:35
and he shared a story with me
7
23238
2249
i ispričao mi je priču
00:37
that is told among his people,
8
25487
2353
koja se priča u njegovom narodu,
00:39
who call themselves the Kwikwasut'inuxw.
9
27840
3195
koji sebe zovu Kvikvasutanuk.
00:43
Once upon a time, he told me,
10
31035
2695
Jednom davno, rekao mi je,
00:45
all animals on Earth were one.
11
33730
2857
sve životinje na Zemlji su bile jedna.
00:48
Even though they look different on the outside,
12
36587
2924
Iako su spolja izgledale drugačije,
00:51
inside, they're all the same,
13
39511
3240
iznutra su bile iste,
00:54
and from time to time they would gather
14
42751
2655
i s vremena na vreme bi se skupile
00:57
at a sacred cave deep inside the forest
15
45406
2750
u tajnoj pećini duboko u šumi
01:00
to celebrate their unity.
16
48156
2492
da slave svoje jedinstvo.
01:02
When they arrived,
17
50648
1744
Kada bi stigle,
01:04
they would all take off their skins.
18
52392
2528
skinule bi svoju kožu.
01:06
Raven shed his feathers, bear his fur,
19
54920
3524
Gavran bi skinuo svoje perje,
medved svoje krzno,
medved svoje krzno,
01:10
and salmon her scales,
20
58444
2463
losos svoje krljušti,
01:12
and then, they would dance.
21
60907
2922
i onda bi plesali.
01:15
But one day, a human made it to the cave
22
63829
3301
Ali jednog dana, u pećinu je došao čovek
01:19
and laughed at what he saw
23
67130
1584
i smejao se onom što je video
01:20
because he did not understand.
24
68714
3124
jer nije razumeo.
01:23
Embarrassed, the animals fled,
25
71838
2869
Posramljene, životinje su pobegle
01:26
and that was the last time
26
74707
2227
i to je bio poslednji put
01:28
they revealed themselves this way.
27
76934
3622
da su se otkrile na taj način.
01:32
The ancient understanding that underneath
28
80556
2684
Drevna ideja da su sve životinje
01:35
their separate identities, all animals are one,
29
83240
2903
ispod svojih odvojenih identiteta
zapravo jedna,
zapravo jedna,
01:38
has been a powerful inspiration to me.
30
86143
3738
bila je za mene moćna inspiracija.
01:41
I like to get past the fur, the feathers
31
89881
3063
Volim da idem dalje od krzna,
01:44
and the scales.
32
92944
1629
perja i krljušti.
01:46
I want to get under the skin.
33
94573
2228
Želim da dođem ispod kože.
01:48
No matter whether I'm facing a giant elephant
34
96801
2800
Bez obzira da li sam suočen
sa ogromnim slonom
sa ogromnim slonom
01:51
or a tiny tree frog,
35
99601
2148
ili sićušnom gatalinkom,
01:53
my goal is to connect us with them, eye to eye.
36
101749
6892
moj cilj je da nas povežem sa njima,
oko uz oko.
oko uz oko.
02:00
You may wonder, do I ever photograph people?
37
108641
3139
Možda se pitate,
da li ikad fotografišem ljude?
da li ikad fotografišem ljude?
02:03
Sure. People are always present in my photos,
38
111780
3835
Naravno. Ljudi su uvek prisutni
u mojim fotografijama,
u mojim fotografijama,
02:07
no matter whether they appear
39
115615
2127
bez obzira da li se pojavljuju
02:09
to portray tortoises
40
117742
2819
da predstave kornjače
02:12
or cougars
41
120561
1813
ili pume
02:14
or lions.
42
122374
1879
ili lavove.
02:16
You just have to learn how
to look past their disguise.
to look past their disguise.
43
124253
4498
Samo morate da naučite kako da vidite
dalje od njihovog kostima.
dalje od njihovog kostima.
02:20
As a photographer,
44
128751
1734
Kao fotograf,
02:22
I try to reach beyond the differences
45
130485
2815
pokušavam da doprem dalje od razlika
02:25
in our genetic makeup
46
133300
1964
u našem genetskom sastavu
02:27
to appreciate all we have in common
47
135264
3597
kako bih cenio sve što imamo zajedničko
02:30
with every other living thing.
48
138861
3378
sa svim drugim živim bićima.
02:34
When I use my camera,
49
142239
2329
Kada koristim svoj fotoaparat,
02:36
I drop my skin
50
144568
1923
skidam svoju kožu
02:38
like the animals at that cave
51
146491
2700
poput životinja u toj pećini
02:41
so I can show who they really are.
52
149191
3937
kako bih pokazao ko su one zaista.
02:45
As animals blessed
53
153128
2250
Kao životinje kojima je data
02:47
with the power of rational thought,
54
155378
3374
moć racionalnog mišljenja,
02:50
we can marvel at the intricacies of life.
55
158752
4533
možemo se diviti plodovima života.
02:55
As citizens of a planet in trouble,
56
163285
2836
Kao građani planete u nevolji,
02:58
it is our moral responsibility
57
166121
2564
naša je moralna odgovornost
03:00
to deal with the dramatic loss in diversity of life.
58
168685
5555
da se nosimo sa dramatičnim gubitkom
u raznovrsnosti života.
u raznovrsnosti života.
03:06
But as humans with hearts,
59
174240
1867
Ali kao ljudi sa srcima,
03:08
we can all rejoice in the unity of life,
60
176107
3933
možemo se radovati jedinstvu života,
03:12
and perhaps we can change
61
180040
2840
i možda možemo promeniti
03:14
what once happened in that sacred cave.
62
182880
3880
ono što se jednom dogodilo
u toj svetoj pećini.
u toj svetoj pećini.
03:18
Let's find a way to join the dance.
63
186760
5232
Hajde da nađemo način
da se pridružimo plesu.
da se pridružimo plesu.
03:23
Thank you.
64
191992
2783
Hvala vam.

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.
