The hidden beauty of pollination | Louie Schwartzberg

Prevodilac: Jelena Nedjic Lektor: Ivana Korom

It's great being here at TED.

Divno je biti ovde na TED konferenciji.

You know, I think there might be some presentations

Znate, mislim da će ovde verovatno biti nekih predavanja

that will go over my head,

koja i neću moći u potpunosti da shvatim,

but the most amazing concepts

ali koncepti koji najviše očaravaju su oni

are the ones that go right under my feet.

koji su istovremeno i najjednostavniji.

The little things in life,

Male stvari u životu,

sometimes that we forget about,

koje ponekada zaboravimo,

like pollination, that we take for granted.

kao što je oprašivanje cveća, mi često uzimamo zdravo za gotovo.

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

Ali ne možete ispričati priču o oprašivačima --

bees, bats, hummingbirds, butterflies --

pčelama, slepim miševima, kolibrima, leptirima --

without telling the story about the invention of flowers

a da ne spomenete izume cvetnica

and how they co-evolved

i kako su oni ko-evoluirali

over 50 million years.

u periodu od 50 miliona godina.

I've been filming time-lapse flowers

Ja sam snimao cvetnice

24 hours a day, seven days a week,

po 24 časa na dan, 7 dana nedeljno,

for over 35 years.

u periodu od 35 godina.

To watch them move

Posmatranje njihovih pokreta

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

je ples od kojeg ja nikada neću biti umoran.

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

Ispunjava me osećanjem čuda i otvara moje srce.

Beauty and seduction, I believe,

Lepota i zavođenje, čini mi se,

is nature's tool for survival,

je oruđe prirode za preživljavanje,

because we will protect what we fall in love with.

jer ćemo mi zaštititi one u koje smo zaljubljeni.

Their relationship

Njihov međusobni odnos

is a love story that feeds the Earth.

je ljubavna priča koja hrani planetu Zemlju.

It reminds us that we are a part of nature,

Podseća nas da smo mi deo prirode,

and we're not separate from it.

i da nismo odvojeni od nje.

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

Kada sam čuo priču o pčelama koje nestaju, o Koloniji kolapsirajućeg nereda,

it motivated me to take action.

to me je motivisalo da preduzmem nešto.

We depend on pollinators

Više od trećine voća i povrća

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

koje koristimo u ishrani, zavisi od oprašivača.

And many scientists believe

I mnogi naučnici veruju da

it's the most serious issue facing mankind.

je to jedan od najozbiljnijih problema sa kojim se čovečanstvo suočava.

It's like the canary in the coalmine.

To je isto kao i kanarinac u rudniku uglja.

If they disappear, so do we.

Ukoliko oni nestanu, nestaćemo i mi.

It reminds us that we are a part of nature

Podseća nas da smo deo prirode

and we need to take care of it.

i da treba da vodimo računa o njoj.

What motivated me to film their behavior

Ono što me je motivisalo da snimam njihovo ponašanje

was something that I asked my scientific advisers:

jeste pitanje koje sam postavio svojim naučnim mentorima:

"What motivates the pollinators?"

Šta motiviše oprašivače?

Well, their answer was,

Pa, njihov odgovor je bio:

"It's all about risk and reward."

"Sve se svodi na rizik i nagradu."

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

Kao dete razrogačenih očiju sam pitao: "A zašto je to tako?"

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

A oni su mi odgovorili: "Pa, usled toga što oni žele da prežive."

I go, "Why?"

I opet ja: "Zašto?"

"Well, in order to reproduce."

"Pa, kako bi se razmnožavali."

"Well, why?"

"Pa, zašto?"

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

I pomislio sam tada da će mi reći: "Pa, sve je to povezano sa seksom."

And Chip Taylor, our monarch butterfly expert,

Tada je Čip Tejlor, naš glavni stručnjak za leptire,

he replied, "Nothing lasts forever.

odgovorio: "Ništa ne traje večno.

Everything in the universe wears out."

Sve u ovoj vasioni nestane jednom."

And that blew my mind.

To me je potpuno šokiralo.

Because I realized

Shvatio sam da je

that nature had invented reproduction

priroda izmislila reprodukciju

as a mechanism for life to move forward,

kao mehanizam za pokretanje života unapred,

as a life force that passes right through us

bukvalno kao životnu silu koja prolazi pravo kroz nas

and makes us a link in the evolution of life.

i čini nas karikom u evoluciji života.

Rarely seen by the naked eye,

Retko uočeno golim okom,

this intersection

ovo ukrštanje

between the animal world and the plant world

životinjskog sveta i sveta biljaka

is truly a magic moment.

je zaista magičan trenutak.

It's the mystical moment

To je tajanstveni trenutak

where life regenerates itself,

u kojem život ponovo nastaje,

over and over again.

iznova i iznova.

So here is some nectar from my film.

Ovo je mali deo nektara iz mog filma.

I hope you'll drink, tweet

Nadam se da ćete ga popiti, cvrkutati

and plant some seeds

i zasaditi neko semenje

to pollinate a friendly garden.

kako biste oprašili prijateljski vrt.

And always take time to smell the flowers,

Nađite uvek dovoljno vremena da pomirišete cveće

and let it fill you with beauty,

i prepustite se da vas ispuni lepotom,

and rediscover that sense of wonder.

i ponovo otkrijte osećaj čuda.

Here are some images from the film.

Ovo su neke od slika iz mog filma.
