ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sebastião Salgado - Photojournalist
Sebastião Salgado captures the dignity of the dispossessed through large-scale, long-term projects.

Why you should listen

A gold miner in Serra Pelada, Brazil; a Siberian Nenet tribe that lives in -35°C temperatures; a Namibian gemsbok antelope. These are just a few of the subjects from Sebastião Salgado’s immense collection of work devoted to the world’s most dispossessed and unknown.

Brazilian-born Salgado, who shoots only using Kodak film, is known for his incredibly long-term projects, which require extensive travel and extreme lifestyle changes. Workers took seven years to complete and contained images of manual laborers from 26 countries, while Migrations took six years in 43 different countries on all seven continents. Most recently Salgado completed Genesis, an ambitious eight-year project that spanned 30 trips to the world’s most pristine territories, land untouched by technology and modern life. Among Salgado’s many travels for Genesis was a two-month hike through Ethiopia, spanning 500 miles with 18 pack donkeys and their riders. In the words of Brett Abbott, a Getty Museum curator, Salgado’s approach can only be described as “epic.”

to transfer轉讓 this land土地 to LéilaILA and myself.
98
376445
2700
把那塊土地轉到我和Léila的名下。
06:31
When we received收到 this land土地, this land土地 was as dead as I was.
99
379145
5616
當我接手這塊土地的時候,它和我一樣,都病入膏肓了。
06:36
When I was a kid孩子, it was more than 50 percent百分 rainforest雨林.
100
384761
3304
當我還是個孩子的時候,農場至少有一半的土地是雨林
06:40
When we received收到 the land土地,
101

1522
當我們接手的時候,
06:41
it was less than half a percent百分 rainforest雨林,
102
389587
3775
雨林的面積連0.5%都不到,
06:45
as in all my region地區.
103
393362
1645
就和我的國家一樣。
06:47
To build建立 development發展, Brazilian巴西人 development發展,
104
395007
2929
在巴西,為了開發,
06:49
we destroyed銷毀 a lot of our forest森林.
105
397936
2787
我們摧毀了很多雨林。
06:52
As you did here in the United聯合的 States狀態,
106
400723
1983
就像你們在美國或印度,
06:54
or you did in India印度, everywhere到處 in this planet行星.
107
402706
2288
和世界上的其他地方所作的一樣。
06:56
To build建立 our development發展,
108
404994
1678
我們為了開發,
06:58
we come to a huge巨大 contradiction矛盾
109
406672
2083
碰到了一個很大的矛盾
07:00
that we destroy破壞 around us everything.
110
408755
3735
我們摧毀身邊的一切。
07:04
This farm農場 that had thousands數千 of head of cattle黃牛
111
412490
3665
這個曾經飼養上千頭牛的農場
07:08
had just a few少數 hundreds數以百計,
112
416155
2167
只剩下了幾百頭,
07:10
and we didn't know how to deal合同 with these.
113
418322
2405
我們不知道該如何面對這些問題。
07:12
And LéilaILA came來了 up with an incredible難以置信 idea理念, a crazy idea理念.
114
420727
3900
Léila 想到了一個很棒的主意,一個瘋狂的主意。
07:16
She said, why don't you put back the rainforest雨林 that was here before?
115
424627
4647
她說,你為什麼不把消失的雨林重新種回來呢?
07:21
You say that you were born天生 in paradise天堂.
116
429274
1506
你說,你出生的地方是個天堂。
07:22
Let's build建立 the paradise天堂 again.
117
430780
2926
那我們就重建天堂。
07:25
And I went to see a good friend朋友

09:14
is to create創建 a discussion討論 about what we have that is pristine質樸 on the planet行星
153

是激起一場討論:地球上,還有什麼原始存在
09:20
and what we must必須 hold保持 on this planet行星
154

2208
我們製造了一個很大的矛盾。
12:27
To build建立 all this, we destroy破壞 a lot.
176

我們親手創造的沙漠。
12:52
India印度 has no more trees樹木. Spain西班牙 has no more trees樹木.
186
760631
2659
印度沒有樹木,西班牙也是一樣。
12:55
And we must必須 rebuild重建 these forests森林.
187
763290
3509
我們必須重建樹木。
12:58
That is the essence本質 of our life, these forests森林.
188
766799
3648
森林對我們的生命太重要了,
13:02
We need to breathe呼吸. The only factory
189
770447
4242
我們需要呼吸。
13:06
capable to transform轉變 COCO2 into oxygen,
190
774689
3576
唯一可以把二氧化碳轉化為氧氣的
13:10
are the forests森林.
191
778265
1744
就是森林。
13:12
The only machine capable to capture捕獲 the carbon
192
780009
4354
唯一可以吸收
13:16
that we are producing生產, always,
193
784363
2851
我們排放出的碳的就是樹木,
13:19
even if we reduce減少 them, everything that we do, we produce生產 COCO2,
194
787214
4165
即使我們嘗試減少排放,我們所做的一切
13:23
are the trees樹木.
195
791379
1499
本身就在排放碳體。
13:24
I put the question -- three or four weeks ago,
196
792878
4366
我三四周前提出一個問題
13:29
we saw in the newspapers報紙
197
797244
1689
我們在報紙上看到
13:30
millions百萬 of fish that die in Norway挪威.
198
798933
2892
在挪威,數百萬條魚死去。
13:33
A lack缺乏 of oxygen in the water.
199
801825
3016
因為水裡的氧氣不夠。
13:36
I put to myself the question, if for a moment時刻,
200
804841
2232
我問我自己,如果有那麼一刻,
13:39
we will not lack缺乏 oxygen for all animal動物 species種類,
201
807073
3987
所有的物種都不會缺氧
13:43
ours我們的 included包括 -- that would be very complicated複雜 for us.
202
811060
3438
包括我們的 -- 那將會變得很複雜。
13:46
For the water system系統, the trees樹木 are essential必要.
203
814498
4304
樹木對於水資源是至關重要的。
13:50
I'll give you a small example that you'll你會 understand理解 very easily容易.
204

3672
我舉個小例子,你們就會很容易了解了。
13:54
You happy快樂 people that have a lot of hair頭髮 on your head,
205
822474
3926
你們這些滿頭豐髮的幸運人,
13:58

3165
如果你洗澡
14:01
two or three hours小時 to dry your hair頭髮
207
829565
3524
頭髮大約要兩三個小時才會乾
14:05
if you don't use a dryer烘乾機 machine.
208
833089
2321
如果你不用吹風機。
14:07
Me, one minute分鐘, it's dry. The same相同 with the trees樹木.
209
835410
4781
我,一分鐘,就乾了。 樹木也是一樣的。
14:12
The trees樹木 are the hair頭髮 of our planet行星.
210
840191
2702
樹木就像是地球的頭髮。
14:14

14:28
When you have trees樹木, the root system系統 holds持有 the water.
216
856010

14:45
This is the most important重要 thing,
221

當我們想像我們每天的生活都離不開水。
14:51

But you can see in this picture圖片,
230
899868

But you see a lot of small spots斑點 in this picture圖片.
233
911403
4338
你看這些照片上一些小點,
15:27
In each point of those spots斑點, we had planted種植的 a tree.
234
915741
3577
我們在每一個小點所在的地方種一棵樹
15:31
There are thousands數千 of trees樹木.
235
919318
1575
有上千棵樹。
15:32
Now I'll show顯示 you the pictures圖片 made製作 exactly究竟 in the same相同 point

開始我就說了
15:50
for us to plant about 2.5 million百萬 trees樹木
240
938615
4800
我們需要種植大約250萬棵樹
15:55
of about 200 different不同 species種類
241
943415
2439
大約200種不同的樹種
15:57
in order訂購 to rebuild重建 the ecosystem生態系統.
242
945854
3240
以便重建我們的生態系統。
16:01
And I'll show顯示 you the last picture圖片.
243
949094
2535
我展示最後一張照片。
16:03
We are with two million百萬 trees樹木 in the ground地面 now.
244
951629
3169
我們已經種植了200萬棵樹,
16:06
We are doing the sequestration封存
245
954798
1649

16:08
of about 100,000 tons of carbon with these trees樹木.
246
956447
4454
大約10萬噸的碳。
16:12
My friends朋友, it's very easy簡單 to do. We did it, no?
247
960901
4544

By an accident事故 that happened發生 to me,
248
965445
2312
因為一個發生在我身上的事故,
16:19
we went back, we built內置 an ecosystem生態系統.
249
967757
3400
我們回去,並建造了一個生態系統。
16:23
We here inside the room房間,
250
971157
2667
我們現在在室內,
16:25
I believe that we have the same相同 concern關心,
251
973824
3536
我相信我們有同樣的擔憂,
16:29
and the model模型 that we created創建 in Brazil巴西,
252
977360
2436
我們在巴西建立的模式,
16:31
we can transplant移植 it here.
253
979796

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sebastião Salgado - Photojournalist
Sebastião Salgado captures the dignity of the dispossessed through large-scale, long-term projects.

Why you should listen

A gold miner in Serra Pelada, Brazil; a Siberian Nenet tribe that lives in -35°C temperatures; a Namibian gemsbok antelope. These are just a few of the subjects from Sebastião Salgado’s immense collection of work devoted to the world’s most dispossessed and unknown.

Brazilian-born Salgado, who shoots only using Kodak film, is known for his incredibly long-term projects, which require extensive travel and extreme lifestyle changes. Workers took seven years to complete and contained images of manual laborers from 26 countries, while Migrations took six years in 43 different countries on all seven continents. Most recently Salgado completed Genesis, an ambitious eight-year project that spanned 30 trips to the world’s most pristine territories, land untouched by technology and modern life. Among Salgado’s many travels for Genesis was a two-month hike through Ethiopia, spanning 500 miles with 18 pack donkeys and their riders. In the words of Brett Abbott, a Getty Museum curator, Salgado’s approach can only be described as “epic.”
