Nakakatuwa dito sa TED.
00:18
You know, I think there might be some presentations
1
18260
2000
Alam niyo, sa tingin ko may mga pagtatanghal
00:20
that will go over my head,
2
20260
2000
na hindi ko lubusang maiintindihan,
00:22
but the most amazing concepts
3
22260
2000
ngunit ang mga pinakamahuhusay na konsepto
00:24
are the ones that go right under my feet.
4
24260
3000
ay yaong mga tumatagos hanggang talampakan.
00:27
The little things in life,
5
27260
2000
Ang maliliit na bagay sa buhay,
00:29
sometimes that we forget about,
6
29260
2000
na madalas nating nalilimutan,
00:31
like pollination, that we take for granted.
7
31260
3000
katulad ng polinasyon, na ating winawalang-bahala.
00:34
And you can't tell the story about pollinators --
8
34260
3000
Walang kwento tungkol sa mga pollinators --
00:37
bees, bats, hummingbirds, butterflies --
9
37260
3000
mga bubuyog, paniki, hummingbirds, paru-paro --
00:40
without telling the story about the invention of flowers
10
40260
3000
nang hindi kinukwento ang istorya ng pagkakaroon ng mga bulaklak
00:43
and how they co-evolved
11
43260
2000
at kung paano sila nagkasabay sa ebolusyon
00:45
over 50 million years.
12
45260
2000
sa loob ng 50 milyong taon.
00:47
I've been filming time-lapse flowers
13
47260
2000
Kinukunan ko ang mga bulaklak gamit ang time-lapse
00:49
24 hours a day, seven days a week,
14
49260
3000
24 oras sa isang araw, 7 araw sa isang linggo,
00:52
for over 35 years.
15
52260
2000
sa loob ng 35 taon.
00:54
To watch them move
16
54260
2000
Ang mapanood silang gumalaw
00:56
is a dance I'm never going to get tired of.
17
56260
2000
na parang isang sayaw ay hindi ko pagsasawaan.
00:58
It fills me with wonder, and it opens my heart.
18
58260
3000
Napupuno ako ng pagkamangha at binubuksan nito ang aking puso.
01:02
Beauty and seduction, I believe,
19
62260
2000
Ang kagandahan at panghahalina, sa aking paniniwala,
01:04
is nature's tool for survival,
20
64260
3000
ay gamit ng kalikasan upang ito'y magtagal,
01:07
because we will protect what we fall in love with.
21
67260
3000
dahil napapangalagaan natin ang mga bagay na napapamahal sa atin.
01:10
Their relationship
22
70260
2000
Ang kanilang ugnayan
01:12
is a love story that feeds the Earth.
23
72260
3000
ay isang kwento ng pag-ibig na bumubuhay sa mundo.
01:15
It reminds us that we are a part of nature,
24
75260
3000
Pinapaalala nito sa atin na kabahagi din tayo ng kalikasan,
01:18
and we're not separate from it.
25
78260
2000
at hindi tayo nakahiwalay dito.
01:20
When I heard about the vanishing bees, Colony Collapse Disorder,
26
80260
4000
Nang narinig ko ang tungkol sa mga naglahong bubuyog, at sa Colony Collapse Disorder,
01:24
it motivated me to take action.
27
84260
2000
ito ang nag-udyok sa akin na kumilos.
01:26
We depend on pollinators
28
86260
2000
Umaasa tayo sa mga pollinators
01:28
for over a third of the fruits and vegetables we eat.
29
88260
4000
sa halos ikatlo ng lahat ng prutas at gulay na ating kinakain.
01:32
And many scientists believe
30
92260
2000
At maraming siyentipiko ang naniniwala
01:34
it's the most serious issue facing mankind.
31
94260
3000
na ito ang pinakaseryosong suliranin na kinakaharap ng sangkatauhan.
01:37
It's like the canary in the coalmine.
32
97260
2000
Dapat itong magsilbing babala.
01:39
If they disappear, so do we.
33
99260
3000
Kapag sila'y naglaho, tayo din ay maglalaho.
01:42
It reminds us that we are a part of nature
34
102260
2000
Pinapaalala nito na kabahagi tayo ng kalikasan
01:44
and we need to take care of it.
35
104260
3000
at kailangan natin itong alagaan.
01:48
What motivated me to film their behavior
36
108260
3000
Ang nag-udyok sa'kin na kunan ang kanilang gawain
01:51
was something that I asked my scientific advisers:
37
111260
3000
ay noong nagtanong ako sa aking mga tagapayo sa agham:
01:54
"What motivates the pollinators?"
38
114260
3000
"Ano ang nagpapagalaw sa mga pollinators?"
01:57
Well, their answer was,
39
117260
2000
Sagot nila,
01:59
"It's all about risk and reward."
40
119260
3000
"Iyon ay ang pagtataya sa mga panganib at gantimpala."
02:02
Like a wide-eyed kid, I'd say, "Why is that?"
41
122260
3000
Gaya ng isang mausisang bata, nagtanong pa ako, "Bakit ganoon?"
02:05
And they'd say, "Well, because they want to survive."
42
125260
2000
Sagot nila, "Marahil, dahil gusto nilang magtagal."
02:07
I go, "Why?"
43
127260
2000
Nagpatuloy pa ako, "Bakit?"
02:09
"Well, in order to reproduce."
44
129260
2000
"Marahil, para magparami."
02:11
"Well, why?"
45
131260
2000
"Bakit naman?"
02:13
And I thought that they'd probably say, "Well, it's all about sex."
46
133260
3000
At akala ko ang isasagot nila, "Marahil, dahil gusto nilang makipagtalik."
02:17
And Chip Taylor, our monarch butterfly expert,
47
137260
3000
Sagot naman ni Chip Taylor, ang aming experto sa monarch butterfly,
02:20
he replied, "Nothing lasts forever.
48
140260
4000
"Walang nagtatagal ng panghabambuhay.
02:24
Everything in the universe wears out."
49
144260
2000
Ang lahat ng nasa kalawakan ay mawawala."
02:26
And that blew my mind.
50
146260
2000
At doon ako nawindang.
02:28
Because I realized
51
148260
2000
Dahil naunawaan ko
02:30
that nature had invented reproduction
52
150260
2000
na inimbento ng kalikasan ang pagpaparami
02:32
as a mechanism for life to move forward,
53
152260
3000
bilang mekanismo upang magpatuloy ang buhay,
02:35
as a life force that passes right through us
54
155260
4000
bilang puwersa sa bawat isa sa atin
02:39
and makes us a link in the evolution of life.
55
159260
4000
na nagdudugtong sa kabuuang ebolusyon.
02:43
Rarely seen by the naked eye,
56
163260
2000
Dahil bihirang nakikita ng ating payak na mata,
02:45
this intersection
57
165260
2000
ang ugnayang ito
02:47
between the animal world and the plant world
58
167260
2000
na pumapagitna sa mundo ng mga hayop at halaman
02:49
is truly a magic moment.
59
169260
2000
ay tunay na kahanga-hanga.
02:51
It's the mystical moment
60
171260
2000
Ito'y isang mahiwagang sandali
02:53
where life regenerates itself,
61
173260
2000
kung saan nililikha ng buhay ang kanyang sarili,
02:55
over and over again.
62
175260
3000
nang paulit-ulit.
02:58
So here is some nectar from my film.
63
178260
3000
Kaya heto ang mumunting dagta mula sa aking mga kuha.
03:01
I hope you'll drink, tweet
64
181260
2000
Umaasa ako na kayo'y sisimsim, huhuni
03:03
and plant some seeds
65
183260
2000
at magtatanim ng ilang buto
03:05
to pollinate a friendly garden.
66
185260
2000
upang makapagbunga ng isang maaliwas na hardin.
03:07
And always take time to smell the flowers,
67
187260
3000
At lagi kayong maglaan ng oras upang amuyin ang mga bulaklak,
03:10
and let it fill you with beauty,
68
190260
2000
at hayaan niyo na punuin kayo nito ng pagkahalina,
03:12
and rediscover that sense of wonder.
69
192260
3000
at maalala ang pakiramdam ng pagkamangha.
03:15
Here are some images from the film.
70
195260
3000
Heto ang ilan sa mga imahe mula sa aking kuha.
