Mark Plotkin: What the people of the Amazon know that you don’t

Prevodilac: Ljiljana Ikodinovic Lektor: Miloš Milosavljević

Now, I'm an ethnobotanist.

Ja sam etnobotaničar.

That's a scientist who works in the rainforest

To je naučnik koji radi u tropskim prašumama

to document how people use local plants.

da bi zabeležio kako ljudi koriste lokalne biljke.

I've been doing this for a long time,

Ovo radim već jako dugo;

and I want to tell you,

i želim da vam kažem,

these people know these forests and these medicinal treasures

ti ljudi poznaju te šume i ta medicinska blaga

better than we do and better than we ever will.

bolje nego što ćemo ih mi ikada poznavati.

But also, these cultures,

Ali isto tako, ove kulture,

these indigenous cultures,

ove urođeničke kulture,

are disappearing much faster than the forests themselves.

nestaju mnogo brže od samih šuma.

And the greatest and most endangered species

Najznačajnija i najugroženija vrsta

in the Amazon Rainforest

u prašumi Amazonije

is not the jaguar,

nije jaguar,

it's not the harpy eagle,

nije orao harpija,

it's the isolated and uncontacted tribes.

već su to izolovana i nekontaktirana plemena.

Now four years ago, I injured my foot in a climbing accident

Pre četiri godine sam povredio stopalo u nezgodi tokom planinarenja

and I went to the doctor.

i otišao sam kod lekara.

She gave me heat,

Prepisala mi je grejanje,

she gave me cold, aspirin,

prepisala mi je hlađenje, aspirin,

narcotic painkillers, anti-inflammatories,

opioidne analgetike, lekove protiv upala,

cortisone shots.

injekcije kortizona.

It didn't work.

Nije dalo rezultate.

Several months later,

Nekoliko meseci kasnije,

I was in the northeast Amazon,

bio sam na severoistoku Amazona.

walked into a village,

Ušao sam u selo

and the shaman said, "You're limping."

i šaman mi je rekao: "Ti hramlješ."

And I'll never forget this as long as I live.

To neću zaboraviti dok sam živ.

He looked me in the face and he said,

Pogledao me je i rekao:

"Take off your shoe and give me your machete."

"Izuj cipelu i daj mi svoju mačetu."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

He walked over to a palm tree

Otišao je do palme

and carved off a fern,

i odsekao paprat,

threw it in the fire,

bacio ju je u vatru,

applied it to my foot,

stavio na moje stopalo,

threw it in a pot of water,

ubacio u lonac vode,

and had me drink the tea.

i dao mi da popijem čaj.

The pain disappeared for seven months.

Bol se nije pojavljivala sedam meseci.

When it came back, I went to see the shaman again.

Kada se vratila, ponovo sam otišao da vidim šamana.

He gave me the same treatment,

Pružio mi je isti tretman

and I've been cured for three years now.

i od tada sam, već tri godine, izlečen.

Who would you rather be treated by?

Kod koga biste se vi radije lečili?

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

Now, make no mistake — Western medicine

Ipak, da ne bude zabune - zapadnjačka medicina

is the most successful system of healing ever devised,

je najuspešniji sistem lečenja ikada izmišljen,

but there's plenty of holes in it.

ali je i pun rupa.

Where's the cure for breast cancer?

Gde je lek protiv raka dojke?

Where's the cure for schizophrenia?

Gde je lek protiv šizofrenije?

Where's the cure for acid reflux?

Gde je lek protiv želudačnog refluksa?

Where's the cure for insomnia?

Gde je lek protiv nesanice?

The fact is that these people

Činjenica je da ovi ljudi

can sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

mogu ponekad, ponekad, ponekad

cure things we cannot.

da izleče stvari koje mi ne možemo.

Here you see a medicine man in the northeast Amazon

Ovde vidite vrača u severoistočnom Amazonu

treating leishmaniasis,

kako leči lajšmanijazu,

a really nasty protozoal disease

vrlo opasnu protozoalnu bolest

that afflicts 12 million people around the world.

od koje boluje 12 miliona ljudi širom sveta.

Western treatment are injections of antimony.

Zapadnjački način lečenja su injekcije antimona.

They're painful, they're expensive,

One su bolne, skupe,

and they're probably not good for your heart;

i najverovatnije loše po vaše srce;

it's a heavy metal.

to je teški metal.

This man cures it with three plants from the Amazon Rainforest.

Ovaj čovek je leči pomoću tri biljke iz prašume Amazona.

This is the magic frog.

Ovo je magična žaba.

My colleague, the late great Loren McIntyre,

Moj kolega, pokojni čuveni Loren Mekintajer,

discoverer of the source lake of the Amazon,

koji je otkrio jezero izvorište Amazona,

Laguna McIntyre in the Peruvian Andes,

lagunu Mekintajer u peruanskim Andima,

was lost on the Peru-Brazil border about 30 years ago.

bio je izgubljen na granici Perua i Brazila pre oko 30 godina.

He was rescued by a group of isolated Indians called the Matsés.

Spasila ga je grupa izolovanih Macez Indijanaca.

They beckoned for him to follow them into the forest, which he did.

Dali su mu znak da ih prati u šumu, što je on i učinio.

There, they took out palm leaf baskets.

Oni su tamo izvadili korpe od palminog lišća.

There, they took out these green monkey frogs —

Izvadili su te zelene sapo žabe -

these are big suckers, they're like this —

to su veliki stvorovi, ovoliki -

and they began licking them.

i počeli su da ih ližu.

It turns out, they're highly hallucinogenic.

Ispostavilo se da su one vrlo halucinogene.

McIntyre wrote about this and it was read by the editor of High Times magazine.

Mekintajer je pisao o tome, i to je pročitao urednik časopisa Haj Tajms.

You see that ethnobotanists have friends in all sorts of strange cultures.

VIdite da etnobotaničari imaju prijatelje u raznim neobičnim kulturama.

This guy decided he would go down to the Amazon and give it a whirl,

Ovaj momak je odlučio da se spusti do Amazona i da ovo proba,

or give it a lick, and he did, and he wrote,

to jest da lizne, što je i uradio, i napisao je:

"My blood pressure went through the roof,

"Pritisak mi je probio plafon,

I lost full control of my bodily functions,

izgubio sam punu kontrolu nad svojim telesnim funkcijama,

I passed out in a heap,

onesvestio sam se i pao kao mrtav,

I woke up in a hammock six hours later,

probudio sam se u ležaljci šest sati kasnije,

felt like God for two days."

i osećao se kao Bog naredna dva dana."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

An Italian chemist read this and said,

Hemičar iz Italije je ovo pročitao i rekao:

"I'm not really interested in the theological aspects of the green monkey frog.

"Nisam baš zainteresovan za teološke aspekte zelene sapo žabe.

What's this about the change in blood pressure?"

Ali šta je to sa promenom pritiska?"

Now, this is an Italian chemist

To je italijanski hemičar

who's working on a new treatment for high blood pressure

koji radi na novom načinu lečenja visokog pritiska

based on peptides in the skin of the green monkey frog,

baziranog na peptidima u koži zelene sapo žabe,

and other scientists are looking

a drugi naučnici traže lek

at a cure for drug-resistant Staph aureus.

protiv zlatnog stafilokoka, koji je otporan na lekove.

How ironic if these isolated Indians and their magic frog

Biće paradoks ukoliko se ovi izolovani Indijanci i njihova magična žaba

prove to be one of the cures.

pokažu kao jedan od lekova.

Here's an ayahuasca shaman

Ovo je Ajauaska šaman

in the northwest Amazon, in the middle of a yage ceremony.

u severozapadnom Amazonu, usred jahe ceremonije.

I took him to Los Angeles to meet a foundation officer

Poveo sam ga u Los Anđeles da upozna službenika fondacije

looking for support for monies to protect their culture.

koja sakuplja novac za očuvanje njihove kulture.

This fellow looked at the medicine man, and he said,

Taj čovek je pogledao vrača, i rekao:

"You didn't go to medical school, did you?"

"TI nisi išao na medicinski fakultet, zar ne?"

The shaman said, "No, I did not."

Šaman je odgovorio: "Ne, nisam".

He said, "Well, then what can you know about healing?"

On je rekao: "Pa šta onda možeš da znaš o lečenju?"

The shaman looked at him and he said,

Šaman ga je pogledao i rekao:

"You know what? If you have an infection, go to a doctor.

"Znaš šta? Ukoliko se inficiraš, idi kod lekara.

But many human afflictions are diseases of the heart, the mind and the spirit.

Ali mnoge ljudske patnje su bolesti srca, uma i duha.

Western medicine can't touch those. I cure them."

Zapadna medicina im ne može ništa. Ja ih lečim."

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

But all is not rosy in learning from nature about new medicines.

Ali nije sve bajno u učenju o novim lekovima od prirode.

This is a viper from Brazil,

Ovo je zmija otrovnica iz Brazila,

the venom of which was studied at the Universidade de São Paulo here.

čiji otrov je izučavan ovde na Univerzitetu u Sao Paulu.

It was later developed into ACE inhibitors.

On je kasnije razvijen u AKE inhibitore.

This is a frontline treatment for hypertension.

To je prvoklasni lek protiv hipertenzije.

Hypertension causes over 10 percent

Hipertenzija je uzrok preko 10 procenata

of all deaths on the planet every day.

svih smrtnih slučajeva na svetu danas.

This is a $4 billion industry

Ovo je industrija vredna 4 milijarde dolara

based on venom from a Brazilian snake,

zasnovana na otrovu brazilske zmije,

and the Brazilians did not get a nickel.

a Brazilci nisu dobili ni dinara.

This is not an acceptable way of doing business.

Ovo nije prihvatljiv način poslovanja.

The rainforest has been called the greatest expression of life on Earth.

Tropske prašume su nazvane najvećim izrazom života na zemlji.

There's a saying in Suriname that I dearly love:

U Surinamu postoji izreka koju veoma volim:

"The rainforests hold answers to questions we have yet to ask."

"Prašume sadrže odgovore na pitanja koja tek treba da postavimo."

But as you all know, it's rapidly disappearing.

Ali, kao što znate, ona vrlo brzo nestaje -

Here in Brazil, in the Amazon,

ovde u Brazilu, u Amazonu,

around the world.

širom sveta.

I took this picture from a small plane

Ovu fotografiju sam snimio iz malog aviona

flying over the eastern border of the Xingu indigenous reserve

leteći iznad istočne granice rezervata urođenika Šingu

in the state of Mato Grosso to the northwest of here.

u državi Mato Groso koja je odavde u pravcu severozapada.

The top half of the picture,

U gornjem delu fotografije

you see where the Indians live.

vidite gde Indijanci žive.

The line through the middle

Linija u sredini

is the eastern border of the reserve.

je istočna granica rezervata.

Top half Indians, bottom half white guys.

Gornja polovina - Indijanci, donja polovina - belci.

Top half wonder drugs,

Gornja polovina - čudesni lekovi,

bottom half just a bunch of skinny-ass cows.

donja polovina - samo nekoliko žgoljavih krava.

Top half carbon sequestered in the forest where it belongs,

Gornja polovina - ugljenik vezan u šumi gde mu je i mesto,

bottom half carbon in the atmosphere

donja polovina - ugljenik u atmosferi

where it's driving climate change.

gde pokreće promenu klime.

In fact, the number two cause

Zapravo, drugi po redu uzročnik

of carbon being released into the atmosphere

oslobađanja ugljenika u atmosferu

is forest destruction.

je uništavanje šuma.

But in talking about destruction,

Ali kada govorimo o uništavanju,

it's important to keep in mind

važno je da imamo na umu

that the Amazon is the mightiest landscape of all.

da je Amazon najmoćniji od svih predela.

It's a place of beauty and wonder.

To je mesto lepote i čuda.

The biggest anteater in the world

Najveći mravojed na svetu

lives in the rain forest,

živi u tropskoj prašumi,

tips the scale at 90 pounds.

teži 40 kg.

The goliath bird-eating spider

Tarantula golijat, koja jede ptice

is the world's largest spider.

je najveći pauk na svetu.

It's found in the Amazon as well.

I ona se nalazi u Amazonu.

The harpy eagle wingspan is over seven feet.

Raspon krila orla harpije je preko 2m.

And the black cayman —

I crni kajman -

these monsters can tip the scale at over half a ton.

ovi monstrumi teže više od pola tone.

They're known to be man-eaters.

Poznati su kao ljudožderi.

The anaconda, the largest snake,

Anakonda, najveća zmija,

the capybara, the largest rodent.

kapibara, najveći glodar.

A specimen from here in Brazil

Primerak odavde, iz Brazila,

tipped the scale at 201 pounds.

težio je 91 kg.

Let's visit where these creatures live,

Hajde da posetimo mesto na kome žive ova stvorenja,

the northeast Amazon,

severoistočni Amazon,

home to the Akuriyo tribe.

dom plemena Akurijo.

Uncontacted peoples hold a mystical and iconic role

Nekontaktirani narodi imaju mističnu i iskonsku ulogu

in our imagination.

u našoj mašti.

These are the people who know nature best.

Ovo su ljudi koji najbolje poznaju prirodu.

These are the people who truly live

Ovo su ljudi koji zaista žive

in total harmony with nature.

u potpunoj harmoniji sa prirodom.

By our standards, some would dismiss these people as primitive.

Po našim merilima, neki bi ove ljude odbacili kao primitivne.

"They don't know how to make fire,

"Oni ne umeju da zapale vatru,

or they didn't when they were first contacted."

ili nisu umeli kada su prvi put kontaktirani".

But they know the forest far better than we do.

Ali oni poznaju šumu daleko bolje od nas.

The Akuriyos have 35 words for honey,

Akurijosi imaju 35 reči za med.

and other Indians look up to them

i drugi Indijanci im se dive

as being the true masters of the emerald realm.

kao pravim gospodarima "Smaragdnog carstva".

Here you see the face of my friend Pohnay.

Ovde vidite lice mog prijatelja Ponea.

Kada sam kao tinejdžer glasno slušao

When I was a teenager rocking out

to the Rolling Stones in my hometown of New Orleans,

Rolingstonse u Nju Orleansu, mom rodnom gradu,

Pohnay was a forest nomad

Pone je bio šumski nomad,

roaming the jungles of the northeast Amazon

lutao je džunglama severoistočnog Amazona

in a small band, looking for game,

u maloj grupi, tražeći divljač,

looking for medicinal plants,

tražeći lekovite biljke,

looking for a wife,

tražeći ženu

in other small nomadic bands.

u drugim malim nomadskim grupama.

But it's people like these

Ali, ljudi poput njega

that know things that we don't,

koji znaju stvari koje mi ne znamo,

and they have lots of lessons to teach us.

imaju puno toga da nas nauče.

However, if you go into most of the forests of the Amazon,

Ipak, ukoliko odete u amazonsku šumu, u njenom većem delu

there are no indigenous peoples.

nema urođeničkih naroda.

This is what you find:

Ovo ćete pronaći:

rock carvings which indigenous peoples,

izrezbarene stene koje su urođenički narodi,

uncontacted peoples, used to sharpen the edge of the stone axe.

nekontaktirani narodi koristili da naoštre kamenu sekiru.

These cultures that once danced,

Ove kulture koje su nekada plesale,

made love, sang to the gods,

vodile ljubav, pevale bogovima,

worshipped the forest,

obožavale šumu,

all that's left is an imprint in stone, as you see here.

sve što je ostalo su ovi otisci u steni, kao što ovde možete da vidite.

Let's move to the western Amazon,

Hajde da se preselimo u zapadni Amazon,

which is really the epicenter of isolated peoples.

koji je pravi epicentar izolovanih naroda.

Each of these dots represents

Svaka od ovih tački predstavlja

a small, uncontacted tribe,

malo, nekontaktirano pleme,

and the big reveal today is we believe there are 14 or 15 isolated groups

i današnje veliko otrkiće je da verujemo da postoji 14 ili 15 izolovanih grupa

in the Colombian Amazon alone.

samo u kolumbijskom Amazonu.

Why are these people isolated?

Zašto su ovi ljudi izolovani?

They know we exist, they know there's an outside world.

Oni znaju da mi postojimo, znaju da postoji spoljni svet.

This is a form of resistance.

Ovo je oblik otpora.

They have chosen to remain isolated,

Oni su odabrali da ostanu izolovani,

and I think it is their human right to remain so.

i mislim da je njihovo ljudsko pravo da tako i ostane.

Why are these the tribes that hide from man?

Zašto su ovo plemena koja se kriju od čoveka?

Here's why.

Evo zašto.

Obviously, some of this was set off in 1492.

Očigledno, nešto od ovoga je počelo 1492.

But at the turn of the last century

Ali krajem prošlog veka

was the rubber trade.

postojala je trgovina gumom.

The demand for natural rubber,

Potražnja za prirodnom gumom

which came from the Amazon,

iz Amazona

set off the botanical equivalent of a gold rush.

pokrenula je botaničku groznicu, ekvivalentnu zlatnoj groznici.

Rubber for bicycle tires,

Guma za gume za bicikle,

rubber for automobile tires,

guma za automobilske gume,

rubber for zeppelins.

guma za cepeline.

It was a mad race to get that rubber,

To je bila mahnita trka da se dođe do te gume,

and the man on the left, Julio Arana,

i čovek sa leve strane, Hulio Arana,

is one of the true thugs of the story.

je jedan od pravih negativaca u ovoj priči.

His people, his company,

Njegovi ljudi, njegovo preduzeće,

and other companies like them

i slična preduzeća

killed, massacred, tortured, butchered Indians

su ubijala, masakrirala, mučila i kasapila Indijance

like the Witotos you see on the right hand side of the slide.

poput Vitotosa koje vidite na desnoj strani slajda.

Even today, when people come out of the forest,

Čak i danas, kada ljudi izlaze iz šume,

the story seldom has a happy ending.

priča retko ima srećan kraj.

These are Nukaks. They were contacted in the '80s.

Ovo su Nukaki. Oni su kontaktirani '80-ih godina.

Within a year, everybody over 40 was dead.

Tokom jedne godine, svi stariji od 40 godina su umrli.

And remember, these are preliterate societies.

I setite se, ovo su društva bez pisma.

The elders are the libraries.

Stari ljudi su biblioteke.

Every time a shaman dies,

Svaki put kada šaman umre

it's as if a library has burned down.

kao da je izgorela biblioteka.

They have been forced off their lands.

Oni su oterani sa svoje zemlje.

The drug traffickers have taken over the Nukak lands,

Trgovci drogom su preuzeli zemlju Nukaka,

and the Nukaks live as beggars

a Nukaki žive kao prosjaci

in public parks in eastern Colombia.

u javnim parkovima istočne Kolumbije.

From the Nukak lands, I want to take you to the southwest,

Od zemlje Nukaka, želim da vas povedem na jugozapad

to the most spectacular landscape in the world:

do najzanosnijeg predela na svetu:

Chiribiquete National Park.

Nacionalnog parka Čiribiketi.

It was surrounded by three isolated tribes

On je bio okružen sa tri izolovana plemena

and thanks to the Colombian government and Colombian colleagues,

i zahvaljujući kolumbijskoj vladi i kolumbijskim kolegama

it has now expanded.

sada je proširen.

It's bigger than the state of Maryland.

Veći je od države Merilend.

It is a treasure trove of botanical diversity.

On je riznica botaničke raznovrsnosti.

It was first explored botanically in 1943

Prvi put ga je botanički istraživao 1943.

by my mentor, Richard Schultes,

moj mentor Ričard Šultiz,

seen here atop the Bell Mountain,

koji se vidi ovde na vrhu planine Bel,

the sacred mountains of the Karijonas.

svete planine Karihonasa.

And let me show you what it looks like today.

I dopustite da vam pokažem kako izgleda danas.

Flying over Chiribiquete,

Leteći iznad Čiribiketa,

shvatite da su ovi izgubljeni planinski svetovi i dalje izgubljeni.

realize that these lost world mountains are still lost.

No scientist has been atop them.

Nijedan naučnik nije bio na njihovom vrhu.

In fact, nobody has been atop the Bell Mountain

Zapravo, niko nije bio na vrhu planine Bel

since Schultes in '43.

od Šultiza 1943.

And we'll end up here with the Bell Mountain

I završićemo ovde sa planinom Bel

just to the east of the picture.

ka istoku ovog snimka.

Let me show you what it looks like today.

Da vam pokažem kako izgleda danas.

Not only is this a treasure trove of botanical diversity,

Ovo ne samo da je riznica botaničke raznovrsnosti,

not only is it home to three isolated tribes,

ne samo da je dom za tri izolovana plemena,

but it's the greatest treasure trove

već je i najveća riznica

of pre-Colombian art in the world:

prekolumbijske umetnosti na svetu:

over 200,000 paintings.

preko 200.000 slika.

The Dutch scientist Thomas van der Hammen

Holandski naučnik Tomas van der Hamen

described this as the Sistine Chapel of the Amazon Rainforest.

ju je nazvao Sikstinskom kapelom amazonske prašume.

But move from Chiribiquete down to the southeast,

Ali krenimo od Čiribiketija dole prema jugoistoku

again in the Colombian Amazon.

ponovo u kolumbijski Amazon.

Remember, the Colombian Amazon is bigger than New England.

Setite se, kolumbijski Amazon je veći od Nove Engleske.

The Amazon's a big forest,

Amazonija je velika šuma

and Brazil's got a big part of it,

i Brazilu pripada njen veliki deo,

but not all of it.

ali ne sva.

Moving down to these two national parks,

Krećući se dole do ova dva nacionalna parka

Cahuinari and Puré

Kauinari i Pure

in the Colombian Amazon —

u kolumbijskom Amazonu -

that's the Brazilian border to the right —

to na desnoj strani je granica sa Brazilom -

it's home to several groups

su dom za nekoliko grupa

of isolated and uncontacted peoples.

izolovanih i nekontaktiranih naroda.

To the trained eye, you can look at the roofs

Izvežbano oko može da vidi krovove

of these malocas, these longhouses,

ovih malokasa, tih dugačkih kuća,

and see that there's cultural diversity.

i da vidi kulturnu raznolikost.

These are, in fact, different tribes.

Ovo su, zapravo, različita plemena.

As isolated as these areas are,

Iako ovako izolovana,

let me show you how the outside world is crowding in.

dopustite da vam pokažem kako u njih ulazi spoljni svet.

Here we see trade and transport increased in Putumayo.

Ovde vidimo pojačanu trgovinu i saobraćaj u Putumaju.

With the diminishment of the Civil War in Colombia,

Sa stišavanjem građanskog rata u Kolumbiji,

the outside world is showing up.

spoljni svet je počeo da se pojavljuje.

To the north, we have illegal gold mining,

Na severu, imamo ilegalne rudnike zlata,

also from the east, from Brazil.

kao i sa istoka, iz Brazila.

There's increased hunting and fishing for commercial purposes.

Postoji povećan lov i ribolov u komercijalne svrhe.

We see illegal logging coming from the south,

Na jugu vidimo ilegalnu seču šume,

and drug runners are trying to move through the park

a međunarodni trgovci drogom pokušavaju da prođu kroz park

and get into Brazil.

i stignu do Brazila.

This, in the past, is why you didn't mess

Zbog ovoga u prošlosti niste smeli da se petljate

with isolated Indians.

sa izolovanim Indijancima.

And if it looks like this picture is out of focus

I ukoliko vam se čini da ova fotografija nije izoštrena

because it was taken in a hurry, here's why.

zato što je snimljena u žurbi, evo razloga.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

This looks like — (Applause)

Ovo izgleda kao - (Aplauz)

This looks like a hangar from the Brazilian Amazon.

Ovo izgleda kao hangar u brazilskom Amazonu.

This is an art exhibit in Havana, Cuba.

Ovo je umetnička izložba u Havani, na Kubi.

A group called Los Carpinteros.

Grupa se zove Los Karpinteros.

This is their perception of why you shouldn't mess with uncontacted Indians.

Ovo je njihovo shvatanje razloga zbog kojih

ne treba da se petljate sa nekontakiranim Indijancima.

But the world is changing.

Ali svet se menja.

These are Mashco-Piros on the Brazil-Peru border

Ovo su Maško-Pirosi na granici Brazila i Perua

who stumbled out of the jungle

koji su se našli van džungle

because they were essentially chased out

jer su ih suštinski izbacili

by drug runners and timber people.

međunarodni trgovci drogom i drvoseče.

And in Peru, there's a very nasty business.

A u Peruu, na delu je jako opasan posao.

It's called human safaris.

Zove se ljudski safari.

They will take you in to isolated groups to take their picture.

Oni vas dovedu do izolovanih grupa kako biste ih fotografisali.

Of course, when you give them clothes, when you give them tools,

Naravno, kada im date odeću i oruđa

you also give them diseases.

takođe im prenesete i bolesti.

We call these "inhuman safaris."

Mi ovo nazivamo "neljudskim safarijima".

These are Indians again on the Peru border,

Ovo su ponovo Indijanci na granici Perua,

who were overflown by flights sponsored by missionaries.

koji su preplavljeni letovima koje finansiraju misionari.

They want to get in there and turn them into Christians.

Oni hoće da dođu do njih i preobrate ih u hrišćane.

We know how that turns out.

Znamo kako se to završava.

What's to be done?

Šta može da se učini?

Introduce technology to the contacted tribes,

Da se uvede tehnologija među kontaktirana plemena,

not the uncontacted tribes,

ne među izolovana plemena,

in a culturally sensitive way.

i to na kulturološki delikatan način.

This is the perfect marriage of ancient shamanic wisdom

Ovo je savršen spoj drevne šamanske mudrosti

and 21st century technology.

i tehnologije 21. veka.

We've done this now with over 30 tribes,

Ovo smo do sada uradili sa preko 30 plemena,

mapped, managed and increased protection

mapirali smo, i sproveli i povećali zaštitu

of over 70 million acres of ancestral rainforest.

preko 70 miliona hektara prašume njihovih predaka.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

So this allows the Indians to take control

Tako ovo dopušta Indijancima da preuzmu kontrolu

of their environmental and cultural destiny.

nad sudbinom njihove kulture i okruženja.

They also then set up guard houses

Oni tada postavljaju i stražarnice

to keep outsiders out.

kako bi držali podalje strance.

These are Indians, trained as indigenous park rangers,

Ovo su Indijanci, obučeni kao urođenički čuvari parka,

patrolling the borders

koji obilaze granice

and keeping the outside world at bay.

i drže spoljašnji svet na bezbednoj distanci.

This is a picture of actual contact.

Ovo je slika stvarnog kontakta.

These are Chitonahua Indians

Ovo su Čitonaua Indijanci

on the Brazil-Peru border.

na granici Brazila i Perua.

They've come out of the jungle

Oni su izašli iz džungle

asking for help.

tražeći pomoć.

They were shot at,

Na njih su pucali,

their malocas, their longhouses, were burned.

njihove dugačke kuće malokas su paljene.

Some of them were massacred.

Neki od njih su masakrirani.

Using automatic weapons to slaughter uncontacted peoples

Korišćenje automatskog oružja radi pokolja nekontaktiranih naroda

is the single most despicable and disgusting human rights abuse

je najpodlije i najodvratnije kršenje ljudskih prava

on our planet today, and it has to stop.

danas na našoj planeti i to mora da se zaustavi.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

But let me conclude by saying,

Dozvolite da završim sledećim rečima:

this work can be spiritually rewarding,

ovaj posao može biti blagotvoran za dušu,

but it's difficult and it can be dangerous.

ali je težak i može biti opasan.

Two colleagues of mine passed away recently

Dvojica mojih kolega su nedavno preminula

in the crash of a small plane.

u padu malog aviona.

They were serving the forest

Oni su služili šumi

to protect those uncontacted tribes.

kako bi zaštitili nekontaktirana plemena.

So the question is, in conclusion,

Tako da je pitanje, za kraj,

is what the future holds.

šta nas čeka u budućnosti.

These are the Uray people in Brazil.

Ovo je narod Uraj u Brazilu.

What does the future hold for them,

Šta njih čeka u budućnosti,

and what does the future hold for us?

i šta čeka nas?

Let's think differently.

Hajde da razmišljamo drugačije.

Let's make a better world.

Hajde da poboljšamo svet.

If the climate's going to change,

Ukoliko će klima da se promeni,

let's have a climate that changes for the better rather than the worse.

hajde da imamo klimu koja se menja nabolje, a ne nagore.

Let's live on a planet

Hajde da živimo na planeti

full of luxuriant vegetation,

punoj bujne vegetacije

in which isolated peoples

u kojoj izolovani narodi

can remain in isolation,

mogu da ostanu u izolaciji,

can maintain that mystery

mogu da očuvaju tu misteriju

and that knowledge

i to znanje

if they so choose.

ako tako odluče.

Let's live in a world

Hajde da živimo u svetu

where the shamans live in these forests

gde šamani žive u ovim šumama

and heal themselves and us

i leče sebe i nas

with their mystical plants

tim mističnim biljkama

and their sacred frogs.

i svetim žabama.

Thanks again.

Još jednom hvala.

(Applause)
