The hidden beauty of pollination | Louie Schwartzberg

Translator: Karin Leivategija Reviewer: Aari Lemmik

It's great being here at TED.

Mul on väga hea meel olla siin TEDil.

You know, I think there might be some presentations

Teate, ma arvan, et siin võib olla ettekandeid,

that will go over my head,

mis käivad üle minu pea,

but the most amazing concepts

aga kõige hämmastavamad asjad

are the ones that go right under my feet.

on need, mis toimuvad minu jalgade all.

The little things in life,

Väikesed asjad siin elus,

sometimes that we forget about,

mille kipume vahel ära unustama

like pollination, that we take for granted.

nagu tolmeldamine, mida peame enesestmõistetavaks.

And you can't tell the story about pollinators --

Ei saa rääkida lugu tolmeldajatest --

bees, bats, hummingbirds, butterflies --

mesilastest, nahkhiirtest, koolibridest ja liblikatest --

without telling the story about the invention of flowers

rääkimata lugu lilledest

and how they co-evolved

ja nende ühisest arenemisest

over 50 million years.

50 miljoni aasta jooksul.

I've been filming time-lapse flowers

Olen filminud lilli intervallvõttega

24 hours a day, seven days a week,

24 tundi ööpäevas, seitse päeva nädalas,

for over 35 years.

üle 35 aasta.

To watch them move

Vaadata nende liikumist -

is a dance I'm never going to get tired of.

on nagu tants, millest ma kunagi ei väsi.

It fills me with wonder, and it opens my heart.

See täidab mind imetlusega ja avab mu südame.

Beauty and seduction, I believe,

Usun, et ilu ja võrgutamine

is nature's tool for survival,

on looduse vahend ellujäämiseks,

because we will protect what we fall in love with.

sest me kaitseme seda, millesse oleme armunud.

Their relationship

Nende suhe

is a love story that feeds the Earth.

on armastuslugu, mis toidab Maad.

It reminds us that we are a part of nature,

See meenutab meile, et oleme osa loodusest

and we're not separate from it.

ja mitte ei seisa sellest eraldi.

When I heard about the vanishing bees, Colony Collapse Disorder,

Kui kuulsin kaduvatest mesilastest, mesilaspere kollapsi sündroomist,

it motivated me to take action.

pani see mind tegutsema.

We depend on pollinators

Me sõltume tolmeldajatest,

for over a third of the fruits and vegetables we eat.

üle kolmandiku puu- ja köögiviljade puhul, mida sööme.

And many scientists believe

Ja paljud teadlased usuvad,

it's the most serious issue facing mankind.

et see on kõige tõsisem inimkonna ees seisev probleem.

It's like the canary in the coalmine.

See on õnnetus, mis hüüab tulles.

If they disappear, so do we.

Kui nemad kaovad, kaome ka meie.

It reminds us that we are a part of nature

See tuletab meile meelde, et oleme osa loodusest

and we need to take care of it.

ja peame selle eest hoolt kandma.

What motivated me to film their behavior

Mind motiveeris tolmeldajate käitumist filmima

was something that I asked my scientific advisers:

küsimus, mille esitasin oma teadusnõunikele:

"What motivates the pollinators?"

"Mis motiveerib tolmeldajaid?"

Well, their answer was,

Nende vastus oli:

"It's all about risk and reward."

"See on riski ja tasu küsimus."

Like a wide-eyed kid, I'd say, "Why is that?"

Nagu süütute silmadega laps küsisin: "Aga miks nii?"

And they'd say, "Well, because they want to survive."

Ja nemad ütlesid: "Sest nad tahavad ellu jääda."

I go, "Why?"

Ma jätkasin: "Miks?"

"Well, in order to reproduce."

"Noh, et paljuneda."

"Well, why?"

"Aga miks?"

And I thought that they'd probably say, "Well, it's all about sex."

Ja ma arvasin, et nad ilmselt ütlevad: "Noh, tegelikult on selle kõige taga lihtsalt seks."

And Chip Taylor, our monarch butterfly expert,

Ja Chip Taylor, meie monarhliblika ekspert

he replied, "Nothing lasts forever.

vastas: "Miski ei kesta igavesti.

Everything in the universe wears out."

Kõik siin universumis kulub lõpuks ära."

And that blew my mind.

Ja see rabas mind.

Because I realized

Kuna sain aru,

that nature had invented reproduction

et loodus oli leiutanud paljunemise

as a mechanism for life to move forward,

mehhanismiks, mis laseb elul edasi minna,

as a life force that passes right through us

elujõuks, mis kulgeb meist läbi

and makes us a link in the evolution of life.

ja seob meid elu evolutsiooniga.

Rarely seen by the naked eye,

Kuigi harva palja silmaga nähtav,

this intersection

on see kokkupuutepunkt

between the animal world and the plant world

loomade ja taimede maailma vahel

is truly a magic moment.

tõeliselt maagiline hetk.

It's the mystical moment

See on see müstiline hetk

where life regenerates itself,

kus elu loob end üha uuesti,

over and over again.

ikka ja jälle.

So here is some nectar from my film.

Nii et siin on veidi minu filminektarit.

I hope you'll drink, tweet

Ma loodan, et te joote, säutsute

and plant some seeds

ja panete mulda mõned seemned,

to pollinate a friendly garden.

et tolmeldada üks sõbralik aed.

And always take time to smell the flowers,

Võtke alati aega, et nuusutada lilli,

and let it fill you with beauty,

laske sel täita end iluga

and rediscover that sense of wonder.

ja taasavastada see imelisuse tunne.

Here are some images from the film.

Siin siis mõned kaadrid filmist.
