Zvukovi prašume uključuju: crvkut ptica, zrikanje cvrčaka, šegačenje gibona. Međutim, u pozadini je skoro uvek prisutan zvuk motorne testere, testere ilegalnih drvoseča. Inženjer Tofer Vajt deli jednostavan, primenljiv način da se zaustavi brutalna seča šuma, koji započinje sa vašim mobilnim telefonom.

In the summer of 2011,
as a tourist,
as a tourist,
1

3487
U leto 2011. godine,
00:25
I visited the rainforests of Borneo
for the very first time,
for the very first time,
2
13167
4426
po prvi put sam posetio prašumu
na Borneu kao turista.
na Borneu kao turista.
00:29
and as you might imagine,
3
17593
2048
Kao što možete da zamislite,
00:31
it was the overwhelming sounds
of the forest that struck me the most.
of the forest that struck me the most.
4
19641
5270
neodoljivi zvukovi šume bili su ti
koji su me najviše privukli.
koji su me najviše privukli.
00:36
There's this constant cacophony of noise.
5
24911
2810
To je konstantna kakofonija zvukova.
00:39
Some things actually do stick out.
6
27721
2415
Neke stvari se zapravo ističu.
00:42
For example, this here is a big bird,
a rhinoceros hornbill.
a rhinoceros hornbill.
7
30136
4426
Na primer, ovo je velika ptica,
kljunorožac nosorog.
kljunorožac nosorog.
00:46
This buzzing is a cicada.
8
34562
4172
Ovo zujanje proizvode cvrčci.
00:51
This is a family of gibbons.
9
39434
2613
Ovo je porodica gibona.
00:54
It's actually singing to each other
over a great distance.
over a great distance.
10
42047
4114
Zapravo pevaju jedni drugima
na velikoj udaljenosti.
na velikoj udaljenosti.
00:59
The place where this was recorded
was in fact a gibbon reserve,
was in fact a gibbon reserve,
11
47341
2993
Mesto gde je ovo usnimljeno je
zapravo rezervat za gibone
zapravo rezervat za gibone
01:02
which is why you can hear so many of them,
12
50334
2037
i zbog toga možemo da čujemo
toliko njih,
toliko njih,
01:04
but in fact the most important noise that
was coming out of the forest that time
was coming out of the forest that time
13
52372
4930
ali zapravo je najvažnija buka
koja je dolazila iz šume u to vreme
koja je dolazila iz šume u to vreme
01:09
was one that I didn't notice,
14
57302
1532
bila ona koju nisam primetio
01:10
and in fact nobody there
had actually noticed it.
had actually noticed it.
15
58834
3109
i, zapravo, niko tamo nije je
zaista primetio.
zaista primetio.
Kao što rekoh, ovo je
rezervat za gibone.
rezervat za gibone.
01:14
So, as I said, this was a gibbon reserve.
16
62373
1988
01:16
They spend most of their time
rehabilitating gibbons,
rehabilitating gibbons,
17
64361
2809
Oni provode najviše vremena
rehabilitujući gibone,
rehabilitujući gibone,
01:19
but they also have
to spend a lot of their time
to spend a lot of their time
18
67170
2561
ali moraju, takođe,
da provode puno svog vremena
da provode puno svog vremena
01:21
protecting their area from illegal logging
that takes place on the side.
that takes place on the side.
19
69731
3692
u zaštiti područja od nelegalne seče drva
koja se dešava na ovoj strani.
koja se dešava na ovoj strani.
01:25
And so if we take the sound of the forest
20
73423
2043
Tako, ako uzmemo zvukove iz šume
01:27
and we actually turn down the gibbons,
the insects, and the rest,
the insects, and the rest,
21
75466
3557
i uklonimo gibone, insekte i ostalo
u pozadini je sve vreme
01:31
in the background, the entire time,
in recordings you heard,
in recordings you heard,
22
79023
3666
na snimku koji ste čuli
01:34
was the sound of a chainsaw
at great distance.
at great distance.
23
82689
3714
bio zvuk testere na velikoj daljini.
Imali su trojicu zaposlenih čuvara
koji su raspoređeni oko ovog rezervata
koji su raspoređeni oko ovog rezervata
01:38
They had three full-time guards
who were posted around this sanctuary
who were posted around this sanctuary
24
86403
3994
01:42
whose job was in fact
to guard against illegal logging,
to guard against illegal logging,
25
90397
4202
čiji je posao bio da štite ovo mesto
od ilegalne seče drveća,
od ilegalne seče drveća,
01:46
and one day, we went walking,
again as tourists, out into the forest,
again as tourists, out into the forest,
26
94599
3459
a jednog dana, dok smo bili u šetnji
ponovo kao turisti u šumi,
ponovo kao turisti u šumi,
01:50
and within five minutes' walk,
27
98058
2253
na razdaljini od pet minuta hoda
01:52
we stumbled upon somebody
who was just sawing a tree down,
who was just sawing a tree down,
28
100311
3379
naleteli smo na nekog ko je sekao drvo,
01:55
five minutes' walk, a few hundred meters
from the ranger station.
from the ranger station.
29
103690
3261
na pet minuta hoda,
nekoliko stotina metara
od stanice šumara.
od stanice šumara.
01:58
They hadn't been able
to hear the chainsaws,
to hear the chainsaws,
30
106951
2058
Nisu mogli da čuju testeru
02:01
because as you heard,
the forest is very, very loud.
the forest is very, very loud.
31
109009
3817
jer je, kao što ste čuli,
šuma veoma, veoma bučna.
šuma veoma, veoma bučna.
02:04
It struck me as quite unacceptable
that in this modern time,
that in this modern time,
32
112826
3919
Iznenadilo me je kao prilično
neprihvatljiva stvar u moderno vreme
neprihvatljiva stvar u moderno vreme
02:08
just a few hundred meters away
from a ranger station in a sanctuary,
from a ranger station in a sanctuary,
33
116745
4472
da samo nekoliko stotina metara
od sedišta šumara u rezervatu
od sedišta šumara u rezervatu
02:13
that in fact nobody could hear it when
someone who has a chainsaw gets fired up.
someone who has a chainsaw gets fired up.
34
121217
3805
niko nije mogao čuti kada neko
ko ima motornu testeru krene sa radom.
ko ima motornu testeru krene sa radom.
02:17
It sounds impossible,
but in fact, it was quite true.
but in fact, it was quite true.
35
125022
4665
Zvuči nemoguće, ali je zapravo istinito.
02:21
So how do we stop illegal logging?
36
129689
1834
Pa, kako sprečavamo ilegalnu seču šuma?
02:23
It's really tempting, as an engineer,
always to come up with a high-tech,
always to come up with a high-tech,
37
131523
3429
Primamljivo je da se kao inženjer
uvek pojavite sa visokom tehnologijom,
02:26
super-crazy high-tech solution,
38
134952
1761
njenim vrhunskim rešenjima,
02:28
but in fact, you're in the rainforest.
39
136713
1950
ali ste u stvari u prašumi.
02:30
It has to be simple,
it has to be scalable,
it has to be scalable,
40
138663
2377
Mora da bude jednostavno, prilagodljivo,
02:33
and so what we also noticed
while were there was that
while were there was that
41
141040
3008
a ono što smo primetili je
02:36
everything we needed was already there.
42
144048
2326
da je sve što nam treba već tamo.
02:38
We could build a system
that would allow us to stop this
that would allow us to stop this
43
146374
2751
Mogli smo izgraditi sistem
koji bi nam omogućio da zaustavimo ovo
02:41
using what's already there.
44
149125
2282
kroz korišćenje onoga
što je već bilo tamo.
što je već bilo tamo.
02:43
Who was there? What was
already in the forest?
already in the forest?
45
151407
2232
Ko je bio tamo?
Šta je već postojalo u šumi?
Šta je već postojalo u šumi?
02:45
Well, we had people.
46
153639
1148
Pa, imali smo ljude,
grupu posvećenu zadatku,
grupu posvećenu zadatku,
02:46
We had this group there that was
dedicated, three full-time guards,
dedicated, three full-time guards,
47
154787
3285
tri čuvara zaposlenih
na puno radno vreme,
na puno radno vreme,
02:50
that was dedicated to go and stop it,
48
158072
1774
koji su zaduženi da odu
i zaustave to,
i zaustave to,
02:51
but they just needed to know
what was happening out in the forest.
what was happening out in the forest.
49
159846
3114
ali je samo trebalo da znaju
šta se dešava u šumi.
šta se dešava u šumi.
02:54
The real surprise, this is the big one,
50
162960
1893
Pravo iznenađenje, i to veliko,
02:56
was that there was connectivity
out in the forest.
out in the forest.
51
164853
2383
bilo je da je postojala konekcija u šumi.
02:59
There was cell phone service
way out in the middle of nowhere.
way out in the middle of nowhere.
52
167236
2914
Postojala je mreža za mobilne telefone
nadaleko usred nigdine.
03:02
We're talking hundreds of kilometers
from the nearest road,
from the nearest road,
53
170150
2931
Pričamo o stotinama kilometara
udaljenosti od najbližeg puta,
udaljenosti od najbližeg puta,
03:05
there's certainly no electricity,
but they had very good cell phone service,
but they had very good cell phone service,
54
173081
3572
sigurno nema struje, ali imali su
odličnu mrežu mobilne telefonije;
odličnu mrežu mobilne telefonije;
03:08
these people in the towns
were on Facebook all the time,
were on Facebook all the time,
55
176653
2623
ovi ljudi po gradovima bili su
na Fejsbuku sve vreme,
na Fejsbuku sve vreme,
03:11
they're surfing the web on their phones,
56
179276
1950
surfujući mrežom preko telefona,
03:13
and this sort of got me thinking
that in fact it would be possible
that in fact it would be possible
57
181226
3109
a ovo me je nateralo da mislim
da bi u stvari bilo moguće
da bi u stvari bilo moguće
03:16
to use the sounds of the forest,
58
184335
2159
koristiti zvukove u šumi,
03:18
pick up the sounds
of chainsaws programmatically,
of chainsaws programmatically,
59
186494
2392
programski uhvatiti zvukove testere
03:20
because people can't hear them,
60
188886
1648
jer ih ljudi ne mogu čuti
03:22
and send an alert.
61
190534
1687
i poslati upozorenje,
03:24
But you have to have a device
to go up in the trees.
to go up in the trees.
62
192221
2582
ali morate da imate uređaj
da biste se popeli na drveće.
da biste se popeli na drveće.
03:26
So if we can use some device
to listen to the sounds of the forest,
to listen to the sounds of the forest,
63
194803
3651
Ako bismo iskoristili neki uređaj
da slušamo zvukove iz prašume,
da slušamo zvukove iz prašume,
03:30
connect to the cell phone
network that's there,
network that's there,
64
198454
2233
povezali se na postojeću mrežu
za mobilne telefone
za mobilne telefone
03:32
and send an alert to people on the ground,
65
200687
2034
i poslali upozorenje ljudima na terenu,
03:34
perhaps we could have a solution
to this issue for them.
to this issue for them.
66
202721
3550
možda bismo imali rešenje
za ovaj njihov problem.
za ovaj njihov problem.
03:38
But let's take a moment
to talk about saving the rainforest,
to talk about saving the rainforest,
67
206271
3280
Hajde da na trenutak zastanemo
kod priče o spašavanju šuma
kod priče o spašavanju šuma
03:41
because it's something that we've
definitely all heard about forever.
definitely all heard about forever.
68
209551
3842
jer je to nešto o čemu smo
definitivno oduvek slušali.
definitivno oduvek slušali.
03:45
People in my generation
have heard about saving the rainforest
have heard about saving the rainforest
69
213393
2919
Ljudi iz moje generacije slušali su
o spašavanju prašuma
o spašavanju prašuma
03:48
since we were kids,
70
216312
1900
od detinjstva
03:50
and it seems that the message
has never changed:
has never changed:
71
218212
2248
i čini se da se poruka nikada
nije menjala –
nije menjala –
03:52
We've got to save the rainforest,
it's super urgent,
it's super urgent,
72
220460
2522
moramo da spasimo prašume,
to je krajnje hitno,
to je krajnje hitno,
03:54
this many football fields
have been destroyed yesterday.
have been destroyed yesterday.
73
222982
2706
ovoliko fudbalskih terena
uništeno je juče,
uništeno je juče,
03:57
and yet here we are today,
about half of the rainforest remains,
about half of the rainforest remains,
74
225688
3304
a ipak, evo nas danas ovde,
sa oko polovinom preostalih prašuma,
sa oko polovinom preostalih prašuma,
04:00
and we have potentially more urgent
problems like climate change.
problems like climate change.
75
228992
4327
a imamo potencijalno hitnije probleme
kao što je promena klime.
kao što je promena klime.
04:05
But in fact, this is the little-known fact
that I didn't realize at the time:
that I didn't realize at the time:
76
233319
3909
U stvari, ovo je malo poznata činjenica
koju nisam shvatio u to vreme -
koju nisam shvatio u to vreme -
04:09
Deforestation accounts
for more greenhouse gas
for more greenhouse gas
77
237228
2961
deforestacija je uzrok za pojavu
više gasova staklene bašte
više gasova staklene bašte
04:12
than all of the world's planes,
trains, cars, trucks and ships combined.
trains, cars, trucks and ships combined.
78
240189
4040
nego svi svetski avioni, vozovi,
automobili, kamioni i brodovi zajedno.
automobili, kamioni i brodovi zajedno.
04:16
It's the second highest contributor
to climate change.
to climate change.
79
244229
2716
Ona je drugi po redu faktor
koji doprinosi promeni klime.
koji doprinosi promeni klime.
04:18
Also, according to Interpol,
80
246945
2833
Takođe, prema Interpolu,
04:21
as much as 90 percent of the logging
that takes place in the rainforest
that takes place in the rainforest
81
249778
3529
čak do 90 posto seče stabala
koja se dešava u prašumama je
koja se dešava u prašumama je
04:25
is illegal logging,
like the illegal logging that we saw.
like the illegal logging that we saw.
82
253307
3781
nelegalna seča, kao i ona
koju smo videli.
koju smo videli.
04:29
So if we can help people in the forest
enforce the rules that are there,
enforce the rules that are there,
83
257088
4044
Ako želimo da pomognemo ljudima u šumi
da primene pravila koja postoje,
da primene pravila koja postoje,
04:33
then in fact we could eat heavily
into this 17 percent
into this 17 percent
84
261132
3924
onda bi trebalo da smo prilično okupirani
ovom brojkom od 17 procenata
ovom brojkom od 17 procenata
i da eventualno ostvarimo glavni uticaj
u kratkom vremenskom periodu.
u kratkom vremenskom periodu.
04:37
and potentially have a major impact
in the short term.
in the short term.
85
265056
2611
04:39
It might just be the cheapest,
fastest way to fight climate change.
fastest way to fight climate change.
86
267667
5165
To bi mogao biti najjeftiniji,
najbrži način
najbrži način
da se borimo protiv promene klime.
04:44
And so here's the system that we imagine.
87
272832
1998
Evo sistema koji smo zamislili.
Izgleda kao vrhunska visoka tehnologija.
04:46
It looks super high tech.
88
274830
1194
04:48
The moment a sound of a chainsaw
is heard in the forest,
is heard in the forest,
89
276024
2633
Onog trenutka kada se zvuk testere
oglasi u šumi,
oglasi u šumi,
04:50
the device picks up the sound
of the chainsaw,
of the chainsaw,
90
278657
2172
uređaj uhvati zvuk testere,
04:52
it sends an alert through the standard
GSM network that's already there
GSM network that's already there
91
280829
3607
šalje uzbunu kroz standardnu
GSM mrežu koja tamo već postoji
GSM mrežu koja tamo već postoji
04:56
to a ranger in the field
92
284436
2087
šumaru na terenu
04:58
who can in fact show up in real time
and stop the logging.
and stop the logging.
93
286523
2817
koji se može pojaviti u dogledno vreme
i zaustaviti seču.
05:01
It's no more about going out
and finding a tree that's been cut.
and finding a tree that's been cut.
94
289340
3909
Ovde se više ne radi o izlaženju
i pronalaženju odsečenog drveta,
05:05
It's not about seeing
a tree from a satellite
a tree from a satellite
95
293249
2176
o satelitskom uočavanju drveća
05:07
in an area that's been clear cut,
96
295425
1636
u oblasti koja je bila raščišćena;
05:09
it's about real-time intervention.
97
297061
2198
radi se o pravovremenoj intervenciji.
Kao što rekoh, bio je to najjeftiniji
05:11
So I said it was the cheapest
and fastest way to do it,
and fastest way to do it,
98
299669
2721
i najbrži način,
05:14
but in fact, actually, as you saw,
they weren't able to do it,
they weren't able to do it,
99
302390
2925
ali, kao što ste videli,
oni nisu mogli da ga urade,
oni nisu mogli da ga urade,
05:17
so it may not be so cheap and fast.
100
305315
1884
pa možda i nije bio tako jeftin i brz.
05:19
But if the devices in the trees
were actually cell phones,
were actually cell phones,
101
307199
3436
Međutim, ako bi uređaji na drveću
bili mobilni telefoni,
to bi moglo biti prilično jeftino.
05:22
it could be pretty cheap.
102
310635
1556
05:24
Cell phones are thrown away
by the hundreds of millions every year,
by the hundreds of millions every year,
103
312191
4287
Stotine miliona mobilnih telefona
baca se svake godine,
baca se svake godine,
05:28
hundreds of millions in the U.S. alone,
104
316478
2121
stotine miliona samo u SAD,
05:30
not counting the rest of the world,
which of course we should do,
which of course we should do,
105
318599
3181
ne računajući ostatak sveta,
što, naravno, treba učiniti,
što, naravno, treba učiniti,
05:33
but in fact, cell phones are great.
106
321780
2531
a mobilni telefoni su zapravo sjajni.
05:36
They're full of sensors.
107
324311
1333
Puni su senzora.
05:37
They can listen
to the sounds of the forest.
to the sounds of the forest.
108
325644
2152
Mogu da slušaju zvukove prašume.
05:39
We do have to protect them.
109
327796
1382
Ne moramo da ih zaštitimo.
05:41
We have to put them in this box
that you see here,
that you see here,
110
329178
2407
Moramo da ih stavimo u kutiju
koju vidite ovde
koju vidite ovde
05:43
and we do have to power them.
111
331585
1567
i moramo da ih napajamo.
05:45
Powering them is one of the greater
engineering challenges
engineering challenges
112
333152
2763
Njihovo napajanje je jedno
od najvećih inženjerskih izazova
od najvećih inženjerskih izazova
05:47
that we had to deal with,
113
335915
1300
sa kojim smo morali da se nosimo
05:49
because powering a cell phone
under a tree canopy,
under a tree canopy,
114
337215
2752
jer je napajanje mobilnog
ispod krošnje drveta,
ispod krošnje drveta,
bilo kakve solarne energije,
05:51
any sort of solar power
under a tree canopy,
under a tree canopy,
115
339967
2252
05:54
was an as-yet-unsolved problem,
116
342219
1810
bilo problem koji tek treba rešiti,
05:56
and that's this unique
solar panel design that you see here,
solar panel design that you see here,
117
344029
2857
a ovo je jedinstveni dizajn
solarnog panela
solarnog panela
koji vidite ovde,
05:58
which in fact is built also from recycled
byproducts of an industrial process.
byproducts of an industrial process.
118
346886
4319
izgrađen od recikliranih nusproizvoda
industrijskog procesa.
06:03
These are strips that are cut down.
119
351205
2624
Ovo su odsečene trake.
06:05
So this is me putting it all together
120
353829
3506
Ovo sam ja dok sklapam ovo
06:09
in my parents' garage, actually.
121
357335
1881
u garaži mojih roditelja, u stvari.
06:11
Thanks very much to them
for allowing me to do that.
for allowing me to do that.
122
359216
2577
Hvala im što su mi dozvolili
da to uradim.
da to uradim.
06:13
As you can see,
this is a device up in a tree.
this is a device up in a tree.
123
361793
4356
Kao što možete videti,
ovo je uređaj na drvetu.
06:18
What you can see from here, perhaps,
is that they are pretty well obscured
is that they are pretty well obscured
124
366149
3585
Ono što odavde možete videti je, možda,
da su prilično dobro zaklonjeni

06:21
up in the tree canopy at a distance.
125
369734
1802
u krošnji drveta u daljini.
06:23
That's important, because although
they are able to hear chainsaw noises
they are able to hear chainsaw noises
126
371536
3477
To je važno zato što, iako mogu da čuju
buku testere
buku testere
06:27
up to a kilometer in the distance,
127
375013

na daljini i od kilometra,
06:28
allowing them to cover
about three square kilometers,

128
376783
2520
što im dozvoljava da pokriju
oko tri kvadratna kilometra,

06:31
if someone were to take them,
it would make the area unprotected.
it would make the area unprotected.
129
379303
3178
ako bi ih neko uzeo,
područje bi postalo nezaštićeno.
područje bi postalo nezaštićeno.
06:35
So does it actually work?
130
383281
2753
Da li ovo zaista funkcioniše?
06:38
Well, to test it,
we took it back to Indonesia,
we took it back to Indonesia,
131
386034
2972
Da bismo to testirali,
vratili smo ih u Indoneziju,
vratili smo ih u Indoneziju,
06:41
not the same place, but another place,
132
389006
2113
ne na isto, već na drugo mesto,
06:43
to another gibbon reserve
133
391119
1671
u drugi rezervat gibona
06:44
that was threatened daily
by illegal logging.
by illegal logging.
134
392790
2845
koji je svakodnevno bio pod pretnjom
ilegalne seče drveća.
ilegalne seče drveća.
06:48
On the very second day, it picked up
illegal chainsaw noises.
illegal chainsaw noises.
135
396505
3919
Već drugog dana, pokupio je zvuke
ilegalne motorne testere.
ilegalne motorne testere.
Mogli smo da dobijemo
pravovremeno upozorenje.
pravovremeno upozorenje.
06:52
We were able to get a real-time alert.
136
400424
2199
06:54
I got an email on my phone.
137
402623
1347
Dobio sam mejl preko telefona.
06:55
Actually, we had just climbed the tree.
Everyone had just gotten back down.
Everyone had just gotten back down.
138
403970
3716
U stvari, morali smo
da se popnemo na drvo.
da se popnemo na drvo.
Svi samo što su se vratili.
06:59
All these guys are smoking cigarettes,
139
407686
2240
Svi ovi momci puše cigarete,
07:01
and then I get an email,
and they all quiet down,
and they all quiet down,
140
409926
2857
a onda dobijam mejl
i svi se utišavaju
i svi se utišavaju
07:04
and in fact you can hear the chainsaw
141
412783
2104
i zapravo možete da čujete testeru
07:06
really, really faint in the background,
142
414887
1929
veoma, veoma slabo u pozadini,
07:08
but no one had noticed it
until that moment.
until that moment.
143
416816
2305
ali niko to nije primetio
do tog trenutka.
do tog trenutka.
07:11
And so then we took off
to actually stop these loggers.
to actually stop these loggers.
144
419121
3274
Tako smo tada krenuli
da u stvari zaustavimo ove drvoseče.
da u stvari zaustavimo ove drvoseče.
07:14
I was pretty nervous.
145
422395
1509
Bio sam prilično nervozan.
07:15
This is the moment where we've actually
arrived close to where the loggers are.
arrived close to where the loggers are.
146
423904
4226
Ovo je trenutak kada smo zapravo stigli
blizu mesta gde su drvoseče.
blizu mesta gde su drvoseče.
07:20
This is the moment where you can see
where I'm actually regretting
where I'm actually regretting
147
428130
3114
Ovo je trenutak gde vidite
da sam se zapravo možda pokajao
da sam se zapravo možda pokajao
07:23
perhaps the entire endeavor.
148
431244
2001
zbog celokupnog pokušaja.
07:25
I'm not really sure what's on
the other side of this hill.
the other side of this hill.
149
433245
2743
Nisam baš siguran šta se nalazi
sa druge strane ovog brda.
sa druge strane ovog brda.
07:27
That guy's much braver than I am.
150
435988
1963
Taj momak je mnogo hrabriji od mene.
07:29
But he went, so I had to go, walking up,
151
437951
4180
On je otišao, pa sam i ja morao,
hodajući naviše,
hodajući naviše,
07:34
and in fact, he made it over the hill,
152
442131
2159
a u stvari, uspeo je da pređe preko brda
07:36
and interrupted the loggers in the act.
153
444290
3237
i prekinuo drvoseče u činu.
07:39
For them, it was such a surprise --
154
447527
1662
Za njih je to bilo iznenađenje -
07:41
they had never, ever
been interrupted before --
been interrupted before --
155
449189
2380
nikada pre toga ih niko nije prekinuo -
07:43
that it was such an impressive
event for them,
event for them,
156
451569
2165
to je bio toliko upečatljiv događaj
za njih
za njih
da smo čuli od partnera da se
posle toga više nikada nisu vratili.
posle toga više nikada nisu vratili.
07:45
that we've heard from our partners
they have not been back since.
they have not been back since.
157
453734
3116
07:48
They were, in fact, great guys.
158
456850
1492
Bili su to, u stvari, sjajni momci.
07:50
They showed us how
the entire operation works,
the entire operation works,
159
458342
2180
Pokazali su nam kako
celokupna operacija funkcioniše,
celokupna operacija funkcioniše,
07:52
and what they really convinced us
on the spot was that
on the spot was that
160
460522
2574
a na licu mesta su nas ubedili
07:55
if you can show up
in real time and stop people,
in real time and stop people,
161
463096
2245
da ako možete da se pojavite
na vreme i zaustavite ljude,
na vreme i zaustavite ljude,
07:57
it's enough of a deterrent
they won't come back.
they won't come back.
162
465341
4182
to je dovoljno zastrašujuće
i oni se neće vratiti.
i oni se neće vratiti.
08:01
So --
163
469529
1556
Dakle -
08:03
Thank you. (Applause)
164
471085
4991
hvala vam. (Aplauz)
08:09
Word of this spread, possibly
because we told a lot of people,
because we told a lot of people,
165
477586
3854
Vest o ovome se raširila
zato što smo rekli mnogim ljudima
zato što smo rekli mnogim ljudima
08:13
and in fact, then some really
amazing stuff started to happen.
amazing stuff started to happen.
166
481440
3437
i počele su da se dešavaju, u stvari,
neke zapanjujuće stvari.
neke zapanjujuće stvari.
08:16
People from around the world
started to send us emails, phone calls.
started to send us emails, phone calls.
167
484877
3669
Ljudi širom sveta počeli su
da nam šalju mejlove, da nas zovu.
da nam šalju mejlove, da nas zovu.
08:20
What we saw was that people
throughout Asia,
throughout Asia,
168
488546
2089
Videli smo da su nam ljudi širom Azije,
08:22
people throughout Africa,
people throughout South America,
people throughout South America,
169
490635
2742
Afrike, Južne Amerike
08:25
they told us that they could use it too,
170
493377
1911
govorili da bi i oni
mogli da ovo iskoriste
mogli da ovo iskoriste
08:27
and what's most important,
171
495288
1280
i, što je još važnije,
08:28
what we'd found that
we thought might be exceptional,
we thought might be exceptional,
172
496568
2498
otkrili smo nešto za šta smo
mislili da je izuzetno -
mislili da je izuzetno -
08:31
in the forest there was
pretty good cell phone service.
pretty good cell phone service.
173
499066
2582
u šumi je postojala prilično
dobra mreža mobilne telefonije.
dobra mreža mobilne telefonije.
08:33
That was not exceptional, we were told,
174
501648
1877
Rečeno nam je da to nije izuzetna stvar
08:35
and that particularly is on the periphery
of the forests that are most under threat.
of the forests that are most under threat.
175
503525
3943
i da je to posebno tako na periferiji šume
koja je najviše ugrožena.
koja je najviše ugrožena.
08:39
And then something
really amazing happened,
really amazing happened,
176
507468
2300
Zatim se desilo nešto zaista izvanredno,
08:41
which was that people started sending us
their own old cell phones.
their own old cell phones.
177
509768
3483
a to je da su ljudi počeli da nam šalju
svoje stare mobilne telefone.
svoje stare mobilne telefone.
08:45
So in fact what we have now is a system
178
513251
1950
U stvari, sada imamo sistem
08:47
where we can use people on the ground,
people who are already there,
people who are already there,
179
515201
3343
u kom možemo da koristimo
ljude na terenu,
ljude na terenu,
koji su zaista tamo,
08:50
who can both improve
and use the existing connectivity,
and use the existing connectivity,
180
518544
3065
koji mogu da poboljšaju
i koriste postojeću konekciju,
i koriste postojeću konekciju,
08:53
and we're using old cell phones
that are being sent to us
that are being sent to us
181
521609
2677
a koristimo stare mobilne telefone
08:56
by people from around the world
182
524286
1493
koje nam šalju ljudi iz celog sveta
08:57
that want their phones to be doing
something else in their afterlife,
something else in their afterlife,
183
525779
3293
koji žele da njihovi telefoni
rade nešto drugo
rade nešto drugo
u zagrobnom životu,
09:01
so to speak.
184
529072
754
da se tako izrazim.
09:01
And if the rest of the device
can be completely recycled,
can be completely recycled,
185
529826
2929
Ako je ostatak uređaja
kompletno recikliran,
kompletno recikliran,
09:04
then we believe it's
an entirely upcycled device.
an entirely upcycled device.
186
532755
2716
onda verujemo da je to
reciklirani uređaj.
reciklirani uređaj.
09:07
So again, this didn't come
because of any sort of high-tech solution.
because of any sort of high-tech solution.
187
535471
3654
Ponovo, ovo se nije desilo zbog
nekakvog rešenja visoke tehnologije;
nekakvog rešenja visoke tehnologije;
09:11
It just came from using
what's already there,
what's already there,
188
539125
2313
došlo je iz korišćenja onoga
što je već postojalo
što je već postojalo
09:13
and I'm thoroughly convinced
that if it's not phones,
that if it's not phones,
189
541438
2856
i duboko sam ubeđen da,
ako nema telefona,
ako nema telefona,
09:16
that there's always
going to be enough there
going to be enough there
190
544294
2369
uvek će postojati dovoljno
09:18
that you can build similar solutions
191
546663
1811
da možete graditi kroz slična rešenja
09:20
that can be very effective
in new contexts.
in new contexts.
192
548474
2066
koja će biti efikasna u novom kontekstu.
09:22
Thank you very much.

Hvala vam.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Topher White - Conservation technologistThrough his startup Rainforest Connection, Topher White transforms used cell phones into guardians of the rainforest.
Why you should listen
In 2012, Topher White founded Rainforest Connection, a startup which converts recycled cell-phones into solar-powered listening devices to monitor and protect remote areas of the rainforest. Now an established NGO, Rainforest Connection has helped stop illegal logging and poaching operations in Sumatra, and the system is being expanded to three more rainforest reserves in Indonesia, the Amazon and Africa.
With a background in physics and engineering, White worked as web chief of ITER and co-founded Enthuse, a sports engagement and mobile rewards platform. For Rainforest Connection, he’s fashioned a simple device made of discarded cell phones and solar panels that detects and sends alerts when it picks up the sound of chainsaws in protected rainforests, allowing for intervention in real time.
