Beverly + Dereck Joubert: Life lessons from big cats

Translator: Michal Ferenc Reviewer: Janka Pazurikova

Beverly Joubert: We are truly passionate

Beverly Joubert: Africká divočina

about the African wilderness

a jej ochrana je

and protecting the African wilderness,

našou skutočnou vášňou.

and so what we've done

A preto sme sa sústredili

is we've focused on iconic cats.

na ikonické mačkovité šelmy.

And I know,

Viem,

in the light of human suffering and poverty

vo svetle ľudského utrpenia a chudoby

and even climate change,

dokonca aj klimatických zmien,

one would wonder,

sa niekto môže čudovať,

why worry about a few cats?

prečo si robiť starosti pre pár mačiek?

Well today we're here

Dnes sme tu,

to share with you a message that we have learned

aby sme sa s vami podelili o to, čo sme sa naučili

from a very important and special character --

od veľmi dôležitej a neobyčajnej postavy --

this leopard.

od tohoto leoparda.

Dereck Joubert: Well, our lives have basically been

Dereck Joubert: Naše životy sa v podstate podobali

like a super long episode of "CSI" --

super dlhej epizóde „CSI“ --

something like 28 years.

po dobu asi 28 rokov.

In essence, what we've done

Čo sme v podstate robili, bolo

is we've studied the science, we've looked at the behavior,

štúdium vedy, pozorovanie správania,

we've seen over 2,000 kills

videli sme vyše 2000 zabití

by these amazing animals.

týmito úžasnými zvieratami.

But one of the things that science really lets us down on

Avšak jedna vec, v ktorej nás veda zrádza,

is that personality,

je osobnosť,

that individual personality that these animals have.

individuálna osobnosť, ktorú tieto zvieratá majú.

And here's a prime example.

A tu je najlepší príklad.

We found this leopard in a 2,000-year-old

Tohoto leoparda sme našli v 2000 rokov starom

baobab tree in Africa,

baobabe v Afrike,

the same tree that we found her mother in

v tom istom ako aj jej mamu

and her grandmother.

a starú mamu.

And she took us on a journey

A vzala nás na cestu

and revealed something very special to us --

a vyjavila nám niečo pre nás mimoriadne --

her own daughter, eight days old.

svoju vlastnú osem dňovú dcéru.

And the minute we found this leopard,

Vo chvíli, keď sme objavili tohoto leoparda,

we realized that we needed to move in,

sme si uvedomili, že sa musíme prisťahovať.

and so we basically stayed with this leopard

V podstate sme s týmto leopardom zostali

for the next four-and-a-half years --

počas nasledujúceho štyri a pol roka --

following her every day,

nasledovali sme ju každý deň,

getting to know her,

postupne sme odhaľovali

that individual personality of hers,

jej osobnosť,

and really coming to know her.

skutočne sme ju spoznávali.

Now I'm destined

Som predurčený na to,

to spend a lot of time

aby som strávil mnoho času

with some unique,

s unikátnymi,

very, very special,

veľmi, veľmi neobyčajnými,

individualistic

jedinečnými

and often seductive female characters.

a často zvodnými samicami.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

Beverly's clearly one of them,

Beverly je samozrejme jednou z nich,

and this little leopard, Legadema, is another,

a tento malý leopard, Legadema, je druhou,

and she changed our lives.

a ona zmenila naše životy.

BJ: Well we certainly did spend a lot of time with her --

BJ: Rozhodne sme s ňou strávili mnoho času --

in fact, more time than even her mother did.

v skutočnosti dokonca viac ako jej matka.

When her mother would go off hunting,

Keď jej matka odišla na lov,

we would stay and film.

my sme zostali a natáčali.

And early on, a lightning bolt hit a tree

Ešte na začiatku udrel do stromu blesk,

20 paces away from us.

len 20 krokov od nás.

It was frightening,

Bolo to desivé.

and it showered us with leaves and a pungent smell.

Pokropilo nás to listami a štipľavým zápachom.

And of course, we were stunned for a while,

Samozrejme sme chvíľu len stáli,

but when we managed to get our wits about us,

ale keď sme sa pozbierali,

we looked at it and said, "My gosh,

pozreli sme sa a povedali: „Bože,

what's going to happen with that little cub?

čo sa len stane s tým mláďaťom?

She's probably going to forever associate

Pravdepodobne si navždy spojí

that deafening crash with us."

ten ohlušujúci tresk s nami.“

Well, we needn't have worried.

Nemuseli sme sa obávať.

She came charging out of the thicket straight towards us,

Vyšla z húštiny priamo smerom k nám,

sat next to us, shivering,

posadila sa vedľa nás, chvejúc sa,

with her back towards Dereck, and looking out.

chrbtom k Dereckovi a rozhliadala sa.

And actually from that day on,

V skutočnosti sa od toho dňa

she's been comfortable with us.

s nami cítila príjemne.

So we felt that that day

Cítili sme, že tento deň

was the day that she really earned her name.

bol dňom, keď si naozaj zaslúžila svoje meno.

We called her Legadema,

Volali sme ju Legadema,

which means, "light from the sky."

čo znamená „svetlo z neba“.

DJ: Now we've found these individualisms

DJ: Objavili sme tieto individuality

in all sorts of animals,

u mnohých druhov zvierat,

in particular in the cats.

obzvlášť u mačkovitých.

This particular one is called Eetwidomayloh,

Konkrétne tento sa volá Eetwidomayloh,

"he who greets with fire,"

„Ten, čo sa víta s ohňom“.

and you can just see that about him, you know -- that's his character.

A môžete to na ňom proste vidieť – je to jeho povaha.

But only by getting up close to these animals

Avšak len priblížením sa k týmto zvieratám

and spending time with them

a trávením času s nimi

can we actually even reach out

sa môžeme s nimi zoznámiť,

and dig out these personal characters that they have.

a objaviť ich povahy.

BJ: But through our investigation,

BJ: Behom nášho výskumu,

we have to seek the wildest places in Africa.

vyhľadávame najdivokejšie miesta v Afrike.

And right now this is in the Okavango Delta

A toto je v delte Okavanga

in Botswana.

v Botswane.

Yes, it is swamp. We live in the swamp in a tent,

Áno, je to močiar. Žijeme v močiari pod stanom.

but I must tell you, every day is exhilarating.

Ale musím vám povedať, že každý deň je úžasný.

But also, our hearts are in our throats

Ale srdcia máme

a huge amount of the time,

často v krku,

because we're driving through water,

pretože jazdíme cez vodu,

and it's an unknown territory.

čo je neznáme územie.

But we're really there

Ale skutočne sme tam,

seeking and searching and filming the iconic cats.

hľadáme a pátrame a natáčame ikonické mačkovité šelmy.

DJ: Now one of the big things, of course,

DJ: Teraz jedna z veľkých vecí.

everybody knows that cats hate water,

Všetci vedia, že mačky neznášajú vodu.

and so this was a real revelation for us.

Toto bol pre nás skutočný objav.

And we could only find this by pushing ourselves,

Mohli sme ho urobiť len tak, že sme sa prinútili

by going where no sane person should go --

ísť tam, kam by žiadny súdny človek nešiel --

not without some prompting, by the way, from Beverly --

mimochodom, nebolo to bez Beverlinho upozornenia --

and just pushing the envelope,

proste priekopnícky,

going out there, pushing our vehicle, pushing ourselves.

išli sme tam, tlačili sme dopredu naše vozidlo, nútili sme seba.

But we've managed to find that these lions

Avšak podarilo sa nám zistiť, že tieto levy

are 15 percent bigger than any others,

sú o 15 percent väčšie ako akékoľvek iné,

and they specialize in hunting buffalo in the water.

a špecializujú sa na lov byvolov vo vode.

BJ: And then of course, the challenge

BJ: A potom je samozrejme výzvou

is knowing when to turn around.

vedieť, kedy sa obrátiť naspäť.

We don't always get that right,

Nie vždy sa nám to podarilo.

and on this particular day,

V tento konkrétny deň,

we seriously underestimated the depth.

sme vážne podcenili hĺbku.

We got deeper and deeper,

Potápali sme sa hlbšie a hlbšie,

until it was at Dereck's chest-height.

až to bolo po Dereckovu hruď.

Well then we hit a deep depression,

Potom sme narazili na hlbokú priehlbinu,

and we seriously submerged the vehicle.

a poriadne sme potopili vozidlo.

We actually managed to drown

V skutočnosti sa nám podarilo utopiť

two million dollars' worth of camera gear.

filmárske vybavenie za 2 milióny dolárov.

We drowned our pride, I must tell you,

Utopili sme našu pýchu, hovorím vám,

which was really serious,

bolo to naozaj vážne,

and we seized the engine.

a zadreli sme motor.

DJ: And of course, one of the rules that we have in the vehicle

DJ: Samozrejme, jedným pravidlom vo vozidle je,

is that he who drowns the vehicle

že ten, kto potopí vozidlo,

gets to swim with the crocodiles.

musí plávať s krokodílmi.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

You will notice also that all of these images here

Tiež si všimnite, že všetky tieto zábery

are taken from the top angle by Beverly --

urobila z horného uhla Beverly --

the dry top angle, by the way.

mimochodom, zo suchého horného uhla.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

But all the places we get stuck in really have great views.

Ale výhľady z miest, kde sme sa zasekli, sú veľkolepé.

And it wasn't a moment, and these lions came back towards us,

Netrvalo to ani chvíľku a levy sa vracali k nám,

and Beverly was able to get a great photograph.

a Beverly mohla urobiť ohromnú fotku.

BJ: But we truly do

BJ: Skutočne trávime

spend day and night

dni a noci pokúšajúc sa

trying to capture unique footage.

zachytiť unikátne zábery.

And 20 years ago,

Pred 20-timi rokmi

we did a film called "Eternal Enemies"

sme urobili film s názvom „Veční nepriatelia“,

where we managed to capture

kde sa nám podarilo zachytiť

this unusual disturbing behavior across two species --

toto nezvyčajné, znepokojujúce správanie dvoch druhov --

lions and hyenas.

levov a hyen.

And surprisingly, it became a cult film.

Prekvapujúco sa to stalo kultovým filmom.

And we can only work that out

Môžeme si domyslieť,

as people were seeing parallels

že ľudia videli paralely

between the thuggish side of nature

medzi hrdloreznou stránkou prírody

and gang warfare.

a vojnou gangov.

DJ: It was amazing, because you can see that this lion

DJ: Bolo to úžasné, pretože tento lev

is doing exactly what his name,

robí presne to, čo predstavuje

Eetwidomayloh, represents.

jeho meno Eetwidomayloh.

He's focused on this hyena,

Sústreďuje sa na túto hyenu

and he is going to get it.

a ide sa jej zmocniť.

(Animal sounds)

(Zvieracie zvuky)

But that's, I think, what this is all about,

Myslím, že o tom to celé vlastne je,

is that these individuals have these personalities and characters.

tieto jedince majú osobnosti a povahy.

But for us to get them, not only do we push ourselves,

Ale aby sme ich pochopili, nielenže sa premáhame,

but we live by certain rules of engagement,

ale aj žijeme podľa istých pravidiel,

which mean we can't interfere.

čiže nemôžeme zasahovať.

This sort of behavior has been going on

Takéto správanie tu bolo

for three, four, five million years,

tri, štyri, päť miliónov rokov,

and we can't step in and say, "That's wrong, and that's right."

nemôžeme zakročiť a povedať "Toto je nesprávne, toto správne."

But that's not always easy for us.

Nie je to však pre nás vždy ľahké.

BJ: So, as Dereck says,

BJ: Ako hovorí Dereck,

we have to work through extremes --

musíme zdolať extrémy --

extreme temperatures, push ourselves at night.

extrémne teploty, premáhať sa v noci.

Sleep deprivation is extreme.

Nedostatok spánku je extrémny.

We're on the edge

Sme na hrane

through a large part of the time.

veľmi často.

But, for 10 years, we tried to capture

10 rokov sme sa pokúšali zachytiť

lions and elephants together --

levy a slony pohromade --

and never ever managed

a nikdy sa nepodarilo

until this particular night.

až do tejto osobitej noci.

And I have to tell you

Musím Vám povedať,

that it was a disturbing night for me.

že to pre mňa bola ťažká noc.

I had tears rolling down my cheeks.

Slzy sa mi kotúľali dole lícami.

I was shaking with anxiety,

Triasla som sa od úzkosti.

but I knew that [I had] to capture something

Vedela som však, že zachytávame niečo

that had never been seen before, had never been documented.

nikdy predtým nevídané, nikdy nezdokumentované.

And I do believe you should stay with us.

Som presvedčená, že by ste mali s nami zostať.

DJ: The amazing thing about these moments --

DJ: Ohromujúce na týchto chvíľach je --

and this is probably a highlight of our career --

a je to asi vrchol našej kariéry --

is that you never know how it's going to end.

že nikdy neviete, ako to skončí.

Many people believe, in fact,

Mnohí ľudia v skutočnosti veria,

that death begins in the eyes, not in the heart,

že smrť začína v očiach, nie v srdci,

not in the lungs,

nie v pľúcach.

and that's when people give up hope,

Vtedy sa ľudia vzdajú nádeje

or when any life form gives up hope.

alebo akákoľvek forma života sa vzdá nádeje.

And you can see the start of it here.

Tu môžete vidieť jej začiatok.

This elephant, against overwhelming odds,

Tento slon proti drvivej prevahe,

simply gives up hope.

jednoducho stráca nádej.

But by the same token,

Rovnako však môžete

you can get your hope back again.

nádej získať zas naspäť.

So just when you think it's all over, something else happens,

Práve keď si myslíte, že je po všetkom, stane sa niečo iné,

some spark gets into you,

vzbĺkne vo vás iskra,

some sort of will to fight --

vôľa bojovať --

that iron will that we all have,

železná vôľa, akú všetci máme,

that this elephant has,

akú má tento slon,

that conservation has, that big cats have.

akú majú veľké mačky, akú majú ochranári.

Everything has that will to survive,

Všetko má túto vôľu prežiť,

to fight, to push through that mental barrier

bojovať, premôcť tú mentálnu bariéru

and to keep going.

a stále pokračovať.

And for us, in many ways,

Pre nás sa v mnohých smeroch

this elephant has become

tento slon stal

a symbol of inspiration for us,

symbolom inšpirácie

a symbol of that hope as we go forward in our work.

a symbolom tej nádeje v našej pokračujúcej práci.

(Applause)

(Potlesk)

Now back to the leopard.

Teraz späť k leopardovi.

We were spending so much time with this leopard

Trávili sme s týmto leopardom tak veľa času

and getting to understand her individualism,

a porozumievali jej jedinečnosti,

her personal character,

jej osobným črtám,

that maybe we were taking it a little bit far.

že sme to možno trochu prehnali.

We were perhaps taking her for granted,

Možno sme ju pokladali za samozrejmosť,

and maybe she didn't like that that much.

čo sa jej až tak nepáčilo.

This is about couples working together,

Je to o práci v páre

and so I do need to say that within the vehicle

a musím povedať, že vo vozidle

we have quite strict territories, Beverly and I.

máme Beverly a ja dosť striktné teritóriá.

Beverly sits on the one side

Beverly sedí na jednej strane,

where all her camera gear is,

kde je všetko kamerové vybavenie

and I'm on the other side where my space is.

a ja som na druhej strane, kde je moje miesto.

These are precious to us, these divides.

Toto rozdelenie je pre nás cenné.

BJ: But when this little cub saw

BJ: Ale keď toto mláďa videlo,

that I had vacated my seat

že som opustila svoje miesto

and climbed to the back to get some camera gear,

a vliezla dozadu pre nejaké vybavenie,

she came in like a curious cat

vošla ako zvedavá mačka

to come and investigate.

na prieskum.

It was phenomenal, and we felt grateful

Bolo to fenomenálne a cítili sme sa vďační,

that she trusted us to that extent.

že nám do takej miery dôverovala.

But at the same time, we were concerned

Súčasne sme sa však obávali,

that if she created this as a habit

že ak sa to pre ňu stane zvykom

and jumped into somebody else's car,

a skočila by niekomu inému do auta,

it might not turn out the same way --

nemusí to vypáliť rovnako --

she might get shot for that.

môžu ju za to zastreliť.

So we knew we had to react quickly.

Vedeli sme, že musíme zareagovať rýchlo.

And the only way we thought we could

Mysleli sme, že jediný spôsob

without scaring her

bez toho, aby sme ju vydesili

is to try and simulate a growl like her mother would make --

je pokúsiť sa napodobniť vrčanie jej matky --

a hiss and a sound.

syčanie a hluk.

So Dereck turned on the heater fan in the car --

Dereck zapol ventilátor kúrenia v aute --

very innovative.

veľmi inovatívne.

DJ: It was the only way for me to save the marriage,

DJ: Bol to jediný spôsob ako zachrániť manželstvo,

because Beverly felt she was being replaced, you see.

pretože Beverly sa cítila, akoby som ju vymenil, ako vidíte.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

But really and truly, this was how

Ale toto bol spôsob,

this little leopard was displaying

ako tento malý leopard prejavoval

her individual personality.

svoju individuálnu osobnosť.

But nothing prepared us

Avšak nič nás nepripravilo

for what happened next in our relationship with her,

na to, čo sa ďalej stalo v našom vzťahu s ňou,

when she started hunting.

keď začala loviť.

BJ: And on this first hunt, we truly were excited.

BJ: Na prvom love sme skutočne boli vzrušení.

It was like watching a graduation ceremony.

Bolo to ako sledovať promóciu.

We felt like we were surrogate parents.

Cítili sme sa ako náhradní rodičia.

And of course, we knew now

Vtedy sme pravdaže vedeli,

that she was going to survive.

že prežije.

But only when we saw the tiny baby baboon

Avšak len keď sme videli maličkého paviána

clinging to the mother's fur

túliaceho sa k matkinmu kožuchu,

did we realize that something very unique

zistili sme, že sa s Legademou

was taking place here with Legadema.

deje niečo veľmi neobvyklé.

And of course, the baby baboon was so innocent,

Mladý pavián bol samozrejme také neviniatko,

it didn't turn and run.

neotočil sa a neušiel.

So what we watched

Čiže čo sme pozorovali

over the next couple of hours

behom nasledujúcich niekoľkých hodín

was very unique.

bolo veľmi neobvyklé.

It was absolutely amazing

Bolo to absolútne úžasné,

when she picked it up to safety,

keď ho vzala do bezpečia,

protecting it from the hyena.

chrániac ho pred hyenou.

And over the next five hours,

Počas nasledujúcich piatich hodín

she took care of it.

sa o neho starala.

We realized that we actually don't know everything,

Zistili sme, že vlastne nevieme všetko

and that nature is so unpredictable,

a príroda je tak nepredvídateľná,

we have to be open at all times.

že musíme byť stále otvorení.

DJ: Okay, so she was a little bit rough.

DJ: OK, bola trochu drsná.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

But in fact,

Čo sme sledovali,

what we were seeing here was interesting.

bolo v skutočnosti veľmi zaujímavé.

Because she is a cub wanting to play,

Pretože je to mláďa, ktoré sa chce hrať,

but she was also a predator needing to kill,

ale aj predátor s potrebou zabíjať,

and yet conflicted in some way,

avšak nejakým spôsobom

because she was also an emerging mother.

sa v nej objavovala aj matka.

She had this maternal instinct,

Mala materský inštinkt,

much like a young girl on her way to womanhood,

podobne ako mladé dievča na ceste k dospelosti.

and so this really took us to this new level

Posunulo nás to na novú úroveň

of understanding that personality.

porozumenia tejto osobnosti.

BJ: And of course, through the night, they lay together.

BJ: V noci samozrejme ležali spolu.

They ended up sleeping for hours.

Spali hodiny.

But I have to tell you --

Musím vám povedať --

everybody always asks, "What happened to the baby baboon?"

každý sa vždy pýta: "Čo sa stalo s tým paviánom?"

It did die,

Zahynulo.

and we suspect it was from the freezing winter nights.

Domnievame sa, že za to mohli mrazivé zimné noci.

DJ: So at this stage, I guess,

DJ: Myslím, že v tejto fáze

we had very, very firm ideas

sme mali veľmi, veľmi pevné predstavy

on what conservation meant.

o význame ochrany prírody.

We had to deal with these individual personalities.

Museli sme zaobchádzať s týmito individuálnymi osobnosťami.

We had to deal with them with respect

Museli sme s nimi zaobchádzať s rešpektom

and celebrate them.

a oslavovať ich.

And so we, with the National Geographic, formed the Big Cats Initiative

A tak sme spolu s National Geographic založili "The Big Cats Initiative",

to march forward into conservation,

aby sme sa pustili do ochrany

taking care of the big cats that we loved --

a starali sa o veľké mačky, ktoré milujeme --

and then had an opportunity to look back over the last 50 years

a potom sa mohli obzrieť na uplynulých 50 rokov

to see how well we had all collectively been doing.

a vidieť, ako dobre sa nám všetkým spolu darilo.

So when Beverly and I were born,

Keď sme sa Beverly a ja narodili,

there were 450,000 lions,

žilo 450 000 levov,

and today there are 20,000.

dnes ich je 20 000.

Tigers haven't fared any better --

Tigrom sa nedarilo o nič lepšie --

45,000

45 000

down to maybe 3,000.

na možno 3000.

BJ: And then cheetahs have crashed

BJ: Gepardy padli

all the way down to 12,000.

až na 12 000.

Leopards have plummeted

Leopardy zleteli

from 700,000

zo 700 000

down to a mere 50,000.

na iba 50 000.

Now in the extraordinary time

Počas toho výnimočného obdobia,

that we have worked with Legadema --

keď sme pracovali s Legademou,

which is really over a five-year period --

čo je v skutočnosti vyše päťročné obdobie --

10,000 leopards were legally shot

bolo lovcami na safari legálne zastrelených

by safari hunters.

10 000 leopardov.

And that's not the only leopards

A to nie sú jediné leopardy

that were being killed through that period.

zabité počas tohoto obdobia.

There's an immense amount of poaching as well,

Pytliactvo má tiež nesmierny rozsah.

and so possibly the same amount.

Možno dosahuje rovnaké množstvo.

It's simply not sustainable.

Jednoducho to nie je udržateľné.

We admire them,

Obdivujeme ich

and we fear them,

a bojíme sa ich.

and yet, as man, we want to steal their power.

A aj tak im my ľudia chceme ukradnúť ich moc.

It used to be the time

Boli časy,

where only kings wore a leopard skin,

keď nosili leopardiu kožu len králi,

but now throughout rituals and ceremonies,

ale teraz ich nosia na rituáloch a ceremóniách

traditional healers and ministers.

aj tradiční liečitelia a duchovní.

And of course, looking at this lion paw

Pohľad na túto z kože stiahnutú

that has been skinned,

leviu labu

it eerily reminds me

mi desivo pripomína

of a human hand,

ľudskú ruku.

and that's ironic, because their fate is in our hands.

Je to ironické, pretože ich osud je v našich rukách.

DJ: There's a burgeoning bone trade.

DJ: Obchod s kosťami rozkvitá.

South Africa just released some lion bones onto the market.

Južná Afrika práve uvoľnila nejaké levie kosti na trh.

Lion bones and tiger bones look exactly the same,

Levie a tigrie kosti vypadajú úplne rovnako,

and so in a stroke, the lion bone industry

a tak priemysel s levími kosťami razom

is going to wipe out all the tigers.

vymetie všetky tigre.

So we have a real problem here,

Čiže tu máme skutočný problém,

no more so than the lions do, the male lions.

ale nie väčší ako levy, leví samci.

So the 20,000 lion figure that you just saw

Údaj 20 000 levov, ktorý ste práve videli

is actually a red herring,

je v skutočnosti zavádzajúci,

because there may be 3,000 or 4,000 male lions,

pretože žije asi tri- alebo štyritisíc levích samcov

and they all are actually

a tie sú v skutočnosti nakazené

infected with the same disease.

tou istou chorobou.

I call it complacency --

Nazývam ju samoľúbosť --

our complacency.

naša samoľúbosť.

Because there's a sport, there's an activity going on

Pretože existuje šport, je tu aktivita,

that we're all aware of, that we condone.

ktorú sme všetci prehliadali.

And that's probably because we haven't seen it

Pravdepodobne je to tým, že sme ju nevnímali

like we are today.

tak ako dnes.

BJ: And you have to know

BJ: Mali by ste vedieť,

that, when a male lion is killed,

že zabitím samca

it completely disrupts the whole pride.

sa úplne naruší celá svorka.

A new male comes into the area

Do oblasti prichádza nový samec

and takes over the pride,

a preberá svorku,

and, of course, first of all kills all the cubs

a, pravdaže, najprv zabije všetky mláďatá,

and possibly some of the females that are defending their cubs.

prípadne aj samice obraňujúce svoje mladé.

So we've estimated

Odhadli sme,

that between 20 [and] 30 lions are killed

že je zabitých 20 až 30 levov,

when one lion is hanging on a wall

keď niekde vo vzdialenom mieste

somewhere in a far-off place.

visí na stene jeden lev.

DJ: So what our investigations have shown

DJ: Naše výskumy teda ukázali,

is that these lions are essential.

že tieto levy sú nepostrádateľné.

They're essential to the habitat.

Sú nepostrádateľné pre svoje prostredie.

If they disappear,

Ak vymiznú,

whole ecosystems in Africa disappear.

v Afrike vymiznú celé ekosystémy.

There's an 80-billion-dollar-a-year

Ročne prúdi do Afriky

ecotourism revenue stream into Africa.

80 miliárd dolárov z ekoturizmu.

So this is not just a concern about lions;

Netýka sa to teda len levov,

it's a concern about communities in Africa as well.

ale aj komunít v Afrike.

If they disappear, all of that goes away.

Ak vymiznú, všetko toto zmizne s nimi.

But what I'm more concerned about in many ways

Čo ma však znepokojuje viac je,

is that, as we de-link ourselves from nature,

že tým, ako sa odpútavame od prírody,

as we de-link ourselves spiritually

ako sa od týchto zvierat

from these animals,

odpútavame duchovne

we lose hope,

strácame nádej,

we lose that spiritual connection,

strácame duchovné spojenie,

our dignity, that thing within us

svoju dôstojnosť, tú vec v nás,

that keeps us connected to the planet.

ktorá nás udržuje v spojení s planétou.

BJ: So you have to know, looking into the eyes

BJ: Musíte si práve teraz uvedomiť,

of lions and leopards right now,

pozerajúc sa do očí levov a leopardov,

it is all about critical awareness.

že je to o kritickom vedomí.

And so what we are doing,

A tak vo februári,

in February, we're bringing out a film called "The Last Lion,"

prinášame film s názvom "Posledný lev".

and "The Last Lion" is exactly

"Posledný lev" je presne to,

what is happening right now.

čo sa práve teraz deje.

That is the situation we're in --

Je to situácia, v akej sa nachádzame --

the last lions.

posledné levy.

That is, if we don't take action and do something,

Čiže ak niečo nepodnikneme,

these plains will be completely devoid

pláne budú úplne

of big cats,

bez veľkých mačiek,

and then, in turn, everything else will disappear.

a následne všetko ostatné vymizne.

And simply, if we can't protect them,

Jednoducho ak ich nevieme ochrániť,

we're going to have a job protecting ourselves as well.

budeme musieť ochraňovať aj seba.

DJ: And in fact, that original thing that we spoke about

DJ: Vec, o ktorej sme pôvodne hovorili

and designed our lives by --

a podľa nej plánovali svoje životy --

that conservation was all about respect

že ochrana je o rešpekte

and celebration --

a oslavovaní --

is probably true. That's really what it needs.

je pravdepodobne pravdivá; naozaj je to to potrebné.

We need it. We respect and celebrate each other

Potrebujeme to. Rešpektujeme sa navzájom

as a man and a woman, as a community

ako muž a žena, ako komunita

and as part of this planet,

a ako súčasť tejto planéty,

and we need to continue that.

a musíme v tom pokračovať.

And Legadema?

A Legadema?

Well we can report, in fact,

No, môžeme povedať,

that we're grandparents.

že sme starí rodičia.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

BJ/DJ: Thank you very much.

BJ/DJ: Ďakujeme.

(Applause)
