Stoljećima, ljudi su vidjeli močvare i bare kao prepreke koje treba izbjegavati. No, za fotografa Maca Stonea, koji dokumentira priče divljine Evergladea u Floridi, močvara nije smetnja - već nacionalno blago. Putem svojih zadivljujućih fotografija, Stone baca novo svjetlo na zanemarenu, antičku i bitnu divljinu. Njegova poruka: izađite i doživite sami. "Samo to napravite - stavite stopalo u vodu," kaže. "Močvara će vas promijeniti, obećajem."

So I've had the great privilege

2056
Bio sam veoma povlašten
00:14
of traveling to some incredible places,

00:17
photographing these distant landscapes
and remote cultures

all over the world.

1426
diljem svijeta.
00:22
I love my job.
4
10886
1410
Volim svoj posao.
00:24
But people think it's
this string of epiphanies
this string of epiphanies
5
12320
2565
No, ljudi misle da je to serija
epifanija
epifanija
00:26
and sunrises and rainbows,
6
14909
2489
i izlazaka sunca i duga,
00:29
when in reality, it looks
more something like this.
more something like this.
7
17422
2764
dok u stvarnosti, više izgleda
ovako.
ovako.
00:32
(Laughter)
8
20210
1222
(Smijeh)
00:33
This is my office.
9
21456
1525
Ovo je moj ured.
00:35
We can't afford the fanciest places
to stay at night,
to stay at night,
10
23473
2631
Ne možemo si priuštiti najskuplja mjesta
za prenoćiti,
za prenoćiti,
00:38
so we tend to sleep a lot outdoors.
11
26128
2838
tako da često spavamo na otvorenom.
00:41
As long as we can stay dry,
12
29365
1429
Dok god možemo ostati suhi,
00:42
that's a bonus.
13
30818
1401
to je bonus.
00:44
We also can't afford
the fanciest restaurants.
the fanciest restaurants.
14
32243
2405
Također, ne možemo si priuštiti
najbolje restorane.
najbolje restorane.
00:46
So we tend to eat
whatever's on the local menu.
whatever's on the local menu.
15
34672
2920
Tako da često jedemo sa
lokanog menija.
lokanog menija.
00:50
And if you're in the Ecuadorian Páramo,
16
38045
3072
A ako ste u ekvadorskom Páramu,
00:53
you're going to eat
a large rodent called a cuy.
a large rodent called a cuy.
17
41141
2762
jest ćete ogromnog glodavca imena
cuy.
cuy.
00:55
(Laughter)
18
43927
1617
(Smijeh)
00:57
But what makes our experiences
perhaps a little bit different
perhaps a little bit different
19
45568
3618
No, ono što čini naša iskustva
možda malo drukčijima
možda malo drukčijima
01:01
and a little more unique
than that of the average person
than that of the average person
20
49210
2722
i malo više jedinstvenima
od onih prosječne osobe
od onih prosječne osobe
01:03
is that we have this gnawing thing
in the back of our mind
in the back of our mind
21
51956
3456
je da imamo tu upornu stvar
u pozadini uma
u pozadini uma
01:07
that even in our darkest moments,
and those times of despair,
and those times of despair,
22
55436
3917
da čak i u najmračnijim trenucima,
i vremenima očaja,
i vremenima očaja,
01:11
we think, "Hey, there might be
an image to be made here,
an image to be made here,
23
59377
3902
pomislimo, "Hej, možda možemo
napraviti koju sliku ovdje,
napraviti koju sliku ovdje,
01:15
there might be a story to be told."
24
63303
2123
možda postoji priča za ispričati."
01:18
And why is storytelling important?
25
66164
1917
A zašto je pričanje priča bitno?
01:20
Well, it helps us to connect with our
cultural and our natural heritage.
cultural and our natural heritage.
26
68509
4530
Pomaže nam povezati se sa našom
kulturnom i prirodnom baštinom.
kulturnom i prirodnom baštinom.
01:25
And in the Southeast,
27
73063
1159
A na jugoistoku,
01:26
there's an alarming disconnect
between the public
between the public
28
74246
3058
postoji alarmantan jaz između
javnih
javnih
01:29
and the natural areas that allow
us to be here in the first place.
us to be here in the first place.
29
77328
3723
i prirodnih površina, koje su nam prvenstveno
omogućile da budemo ovdje.
omogućile da budemo ovdje.
01:33
We're visual creatures,
30
81770
2205
Mi smo vizualna bića,
01:35
so we use what we see
to teach us what we know.
to teach us what we know.
31
83999
3352
pa koristimo ono što vidimo
da bismo naučili ono što znamo.
da bismo naučili ono što znamo.
01:39
Now the majority of us
aren't going to willingly go
aren't going to willingly go
32
87773
2398
Većina među nama neće dobrovoljno
otići
otići
01:42
way down to a swamp.
33
90195
1652
sve do močvare.
01:44
So how can we still expect
those same people to then advocate
those same people to then advocate
34
92638
3594
Dakle, kako onda možemo očekivati
da ti isti ljudi zagovaraju
da ti isti ljudi zagovaraju
01:48
on behalf of their protection?
35
96256
1718
njihovu zaštitu?
01:50
We can't.
36
98410
1174
Ne možemo.
01:51
So my job, then, is to use photography
as a communication tool,
as a communication tool,
37
99608
4245
Tako da je moj posao da koristim
fotografiju kao komunikacijsko sredstvo,
fotografiju kao komunikacijsko sredstvo,
01:55
to help bridge the gap
between the science and the aesthetics,
between the science and the aesthetics,
38
103877
3975
koje će premostiti jaz između
znanosti i estetike,
znanosti i estetike,
01:59
to get people talking,
39
107876
1618
potaknuti ljude da pričaju,
02:01
to get them thinking,
40
109518
1369
da razmišljaju,
02:02
and to hopefully, ultimately,
41
110911
1657
i nadajmo se, konačno,
02:04
get them caring.
42
112592
1391
da počnu mariti.
02:06
I started doing this 15 years ago
right here in Gainesville,
right here in Gainesville,
43
114841
2910
Počeo sam ovo raditi prije 15 godina
upravo ovdje u Gainesvilleu,
upravo ovdje u Gainesvilleu,
02:09
right here in my backyard.
44
117775
1875
upravo ovdje u svom dvorištu.
02:11
And I fell in love
with adventure and discovery,
with adventure and discovery,
45
119674
2848
I zaljubio sam se
u pustolovinu i otkrića,
u pustolovinu i otkrića,
02:14
going to explore
all these different places
all these different places
46
122546
2057
dok sam istraživao sva ova
različita mjesta
različita mjesta
02:16
that were just minutes
from my front doorstep.
from my front doorstep.
47
124627
2293
koja su samo minutama udaljena
od mog kućnog praga.
od mog kućnog praga.
02:18
There are a lot
of beautiful places to find.
of beautiful places to find.
48
126944
2588
Mnoštvo je prekrasnih mjesta za
otkrivanje.
otkrivanje.
02:21
Despite all these years that have passed,
49
129872
2302
Usprkos svim tim godinama koje su
prošle,
prošle,
02:24
I still see the world
through the eyes of a child
through the eyes of a child
50
132198
2294
još uvijek vidim svijet kroz oči
djeteta
djeteta
02:26
and I try to incorporate
that sense of wonderment
that sense of wonderment
51
134516
2853
i pokušavam predočiti taj
osjećaj začuđenosti
osjećaj začuđenosti
02:29
and that sense of curiosity
into my photography
into my photography
52
137393
4681
i taj osjećaj znatiželje u svojim
fotografijama
fotografijama
02:34
as often as I can.
53
142098
1750
koliko god često mogu.
02:37
And we're pretty lucky
because here in the South,
because here in the South,
54
145006
2298
Prilično smo sretni jer smo ovdje na Jugu,
02:39
we're still blessed
with a relatively blank canvas
with a relatively blank canvas
55
147328
3072
još uvijek blagoslovljeni sa relativno
praznim platnom
praznim platnom
02:42
that we can fill with the most
fanciful adventures
fanciful adventures
56
150424
3184
kojeg možemo ispuniti sa
najnestvarnijim pustolovinama
najnestvarnijim pustolovinama
02:45
and incredible experiences.
57
153632
2447
i nevjerojatnim iskustvima.
02:48
It's just a matter of how far
our imagination will take us.
our imagination will take us.
58
156103
3944
Pitanje je samo koliko daleko nas
naša mašta može odvesti.
naša mašta može odvesti.
02:52
See, a lot of people
look at this and they say,
look at this and they say,
59
160402
2199
Puno ljudi gleda na to i
kaže,
kaže,
02:54
"Oh yeah, wow, that's a pretty tree."
60
162625
1778
"Da, vau, to je lijepo drvo."
02:56
But I don't just see a tree --
61
164427
1471
Ali ja ne vidim samo drvo --
02:57
I look at this and I see opportunity.
62
165922
2579
ja gledam i vidim priliku.
03:00
I see an entire weekend.
63
168525
1597
Vidim cijeli vikend.
03:03
Because when I was a kid,
these were the types of images
these were the types of images
64
171122
2637
Kad sam bio dijete, to su
bile slike
bile slike
03:05
that got me off the sofa
and dared me to explore,
and dared me to explore,
65
173783
2468
koje su me podigle sa sofe
i izazvale da idem istraživati,
i izazvale da idem istraživati,
03:08
dared me to go find the woods
66
176275
1441
izazvale me da odem naći šumu
03:09
and put my head underwater
and see what we have.
and see what we have.
67
177740
2895
i stavim glavu pod vodu
i vidim što imamo.
i vidim što imamo.
03:13
And folks, I've been photographing
all over the world
all over the world
68
181433
2801
Društvo, bavim se fotografijom diljem
svijeta
svijeta
03:16
and I promise you,
69
184258
1341
i obećajem vam,
03:17
what we have here in the South,
70
185623
1495
ono što imamo ovdje na Jugu,
03:19
what we have in the Sunshine State,
71
187142
1681
ono što imamo u Sunčanoj državi,
03:20
rivals anything else that I've seen.
72
188847
2295
rival je svemu što sam ikad vidio.
03:23
But yet our tourism industry is busy
promoting all the wrong things.
promoting all the wrong things.
73
191943
4012
No, naša turistička industrija promovira
sve krive stvari.
sve krive stvari.
03:28
Before most kids are 12,
they'll have been to Disney World
they'll have been to Disney World
74
196698
2731
Prije nego navrše 12 godina,
većina djece posjeti Disney World
većina djece posjeti Disney World
03:31
more times than they've been in a canoe
75
199453
1961
više puta nego što sjedne u kanu
03:33
or camping under a starry sky.
76
201438
2842
ili kampira pod zvjezdanim nebom.
03:36
And I have nothing against Disney
or Mickey; I used to go there, too.
or Mickey; I used to go there, too.
77
204816
3547
Nemam ništa protiv Disney ili
Mickeya; i ja sam ih posjetio.
Mickeya; i ja sam ih posjetio.
03:40
But they're missing out on those
fundamental connections
fundamental connections
78
208387
2659
No, propuštaju ove
temeljne veze
temeljne veze
03:43
that create a real sense
of pride and ownership
of pride and ownership
79
211070
3222
koje stvaraju stvarni osjećaj
ponosa i vlasništva
ponosa i vlasništva
03:46
for the place that they call home.
80
214316
2103
za mjesto koje nazivaju dom.
03:49
And this is compounded by the issue
that the landscapes
that the landscapes
81
217251
3039
Ovo je popraćeno problemom
što se predjeli,
što se predjeli,
03:52
that define our natural heritage
82
220314
2109
koji definiraju našu prirodnu baštinu
03:54
and fuel our aquifer
for our drinking water
for our drinking water
83
222447
2976
i dolijevaju gorivo u naš
vodotok pitke vode
vodotok pitke vode
03:57
have been deemed as scary
and dangerous and spooky.
and dangerous and spooky.
84
225447
4443
smatraju strašnima i
opasnima i sablasnima.
opasnima i sablasnima.
04:02
When our ancestors first came here,
85
230329
1753
Kad su naši preci prvi put došli ovdje,
04:04
they warned, "Stay out
of these areas, they're haunted.
of these areas, they're haunted.
86
232106
2636
upozorili su, "Nemojte ići
u ova područja, opsjednuta su.
u ova područja, opsjednuta su.
04:06
They're full of evil spirits and ghosts."
87
234766
3097
Puna su zlih duhova."
04:09
I don't know where
they came up with that idea.
they came up with that idea.
88
237887
2346
Ne znam odakle im ta ideja.
04:12
But it's actually led
to a very real disconnect,
to a very real disconnect,
89
240804
2632
No, dovela je do vrlo stvarnog
odmaka,
odmaka,
04:15
a very real negative mentality
90
243460
1761
vrlo stvarnog negativnog mentaliteta
04:17
that has kept the public
disinterested, silent,
disinterested, silent,
91
245245
3578
koji je držao javnost nezainteresiranom,
tihom,
tihom,
04:20
and ultimately, our environment at risk.
92
248847
2565
i, konačno, našu okolinu pod rizikom.
04:24
We're a state that's surrounded
and defined by water,
and defined by water,
93
252523
3452
Mi smo država okružena i
definirana vodom,
definirana vodom,
04:27
and yet for centuries,
94
255999
1276
no ipak, stoljećima,
04:29
swamps and wetlands have been regarded
95
257299
1893
su močvare i bare smatrane
04:31
as these obstacles to overcome.
96
259216
2707
preprekama koje treba preći.
04:34
And so we've treated them
as these second-class ecosystems,
as these second-class ecosystems,
97
262367
3982
Tretirali smo ih kao ekosustav
druge klase,
druge klase,
04:38
because they have
very little monetary value
very little monetary value
98
266373
2264
jer imaju vrlo nisku
novčanu vrijednost
novčanu vrijednost
04:40
and of course, they're known
to harbor alligators and snakes --
to harbor alligators and snakes --
99
268661
3685
i naravno, poznate su po tome da sakrivaju
aligatore i zmije --
aligatore i zmije --
04:44
which, I'll admit, these aren't
the most cuddly of ambassadors.
the most cuddly of ambassadors.
100
272370
3298
koji, priznajem, i nisu baš
najumiljatiji ambasadori.
najumiljatiji ambasadori.
04:47
(Laughter)
101
275692
1136
(Smijeh)
04:48
So it became assumed, then,
that the only good swamp
that the only good swamp
102
276852
2778
Tako da se pretpostavlja, da
je jedina dobra močvara
je jedina dobra močvara
04:51
was a drained swamp.
103
279654
1318
ona isušena.
04:53
And in fact,
104
281364
1151
Zapravo,
04:54
draining a swamp to make way
for agriculture and development
for agriculture and development
105
282539
3411
isušivanje močvare, da bi se napravilo
prostora za poljoprivredu i razvoj,
prostora za poljoprivredu i razvoj,
04:57
was considered the very essence
of conservation not too long ago.
of conservation not too long ago.
106
285974
3913
se do nedavno smatralo samom
suštinom očuvanja.
suštinom očuvanja.
05:02
But now we're backpedaling,
107
290522
1546
No, sada odstupamo,
05:04
because the more we come to learn
about these sodden landscapes,
about these sodden landscapes,
108
292092
3351
jer što smo više naučili o ovim
natopljenim predjelima,
natopljenim predjelima,
05:07
the more secrets we're starting to unlock
109
295467
1966
više smo tajni počeli otključavati
05:09
about interspecies relationships
110
297457
2363
o međusobnim vezama između vrsta
05:11
and the connectivity of habitats,
watersheds and flyways.
watersheds and flyways.
111
299844
4550
o povezanosti staništa,
slivova i migracijskih puteva.
slivova i migracijskih puteva.
05:17
Take this bird, for example:
112
305040
1985
Pogledajte ovu pticu, na primjer:
05:19
this is the prothonotary warbler.
113
307049
1888
ovo je Protonotaria citrea.
05:20
I love this bird because
it's a swamp bird,
it's a swamp bird,
114
308961
2186
Volim ovu pticu jer je
močvarna ptica,
močvarna ptica,
05:23
through and through, a swamp bird.
115
311171
1704
skroz naskroz, močvarna ptica.
05:24
They nest and they mate and they breed
in these old-growth swamps
in these old-growth swamps
116
312899
3648
Prebivaju i množe se i rađaju u
ovim močvarama starog rasta
ovim močvarama starog rasta
05:28
in these flooded forests.
117
316571
1464
u ovim popavljenim šumama.
05:30
And so after the spring,
after they raise their young,
after they raise their young,
118
318059
2548
Nakon proljeća,
nakon što mladi narastu,
nakon što mladi narastu,
05:32
they then fly thousand of miles
over the Gulf of Mexico
over the Gulf of Mexico
119
320631
2805
lete tisućama kilometara
preko Meksičkog zaljeva
preko Meksičkog zaljeva
05:35
into Central and South America.
120
323460
1949
u Središnju i Južnu Ameriku.
05:37
And then after the winter,
121
325806
1252
Nakon zime,
05:39
the spring rolls around
and they come back.
and they come back.
122
327082
2015
proljeće se dokotrlja i
one se vrate.
one se vrate.
05:41
They fly thousands of miles
over the Gulf of Mexico.
over the Gulf of Mexico.
123
329121
2899
Lete tisućama kilometara preko
Meksičkog zaljeva.
Meksičkog zaljeva.
05:44
And where do they go? Where do they land?
124
332044
2906
Gdje idu? Gdje slete?
05:47
Right back in the same tree.
125
335474
2516
Na potpuno isto drvo.
05:50
That's nuts.
126
338686
1150
To je ludo.
05:52
This is a bird the size
of a tennis ball --
of a tennis ball --
127
340151
3347
Ovje ptica veličine teniske loptice --
05:55
I mean, that's crazy!
128
343522
1677
Mislim, to je ludo!
05:57
I used a GPS to get here today,
129
345223
2550
Koristio sam GPS da bih danas ovdje
došao,
došao,
05:59
and this is my hometown.
130
347797
1667
a ovo je moj rodni grad.
06:01
(Laughter)
131
349488
1271
(Smijeh)
06:02
It's crazy.
132
350783
1157
Ludost!
06:04
So what happens, then, when this bird
flies over the Gulf of Mexico
flies over the Gulf of Mexico
133
352374
3690
No, što se dogodi kad ova ptica
preleti Meksički zaljev
preleti Meksički zaljev
06:08
into Central America for the winter
134
356088
1868
i dođe u Središnju Ameriku na zimu
06:09
and then the spring rolls around
and it flies back,
and it flies back,
135
357980
2441
i onda s proljećem doleti natrag,
06:12
and it comes back to this:
136
360445
2767
i vrati se natrag ovome:
06:15
a freshly sodded golf course?
137
363236
1894
svježe postavljenom golf terenu?
06:17
This is a narrative that's
all too commonly unraveling
all too commonly unraveling
138
365942
2589
To je priča koja se prečesto odvija
06:20
here in this state.
139
368555
1187
u ovoj državi.
06:21
And this is a natural process
that's occurred for thousands of years
that's occurred for thousands of years
140
369766
3239
To je prirodni proces koji se
pojavljuje tisućama godina
pojavljuje tisućama godina
06:25
and we're just now learning about it.
141
373029
1778
a mi tek sad saznajemo o njemu.
06:26
So you can imagine all else we have
to learn about these landscapes
to learn about these landscapes
142
374831
3163
Možete zamisliti što još sve moramo
naučiti o tim predjelima
naučiti o tim predjelima
06:30
if we just preserve them first.
143
378018
1858
kad bi ih prvo očuvali.
06:31
Now despite all this rich life
that abounds in these swamps,
that abounds in these swamps,
144
379900
4531
Usprkos bogatstvu života koji
obiluje u ovim močvarama,
obiluje u ovim močvarama,
06:36
they still have a bad name.
145
384455
1824
još uvijek ih prati loš glas.
06:38
Many people feel uncomfortable
with the idea of wading
with the idea of wading
146
386828
3666
Mnogima ideja da zagaze u Floridine
crne vode
crne vode
06:42
into Florida's blackwater.
147
390518
1664
nije ugodna.
06:44
I can understand that.
148
392206
1789
Mogu to razumijeti.
06:46
But what I loved about growing up
in the Sunshine State
in the Sunshine State
149
394019
3141
No, ono što sam ja volio
odrastajući u Sunčanoj državi
odrastajući u Sunčanoj državi
06:49
is that for so many of us,
150
397184
1282
je da mnogi od nas,
06:50
we live with this latent
but very palpable fear
but very palpable fear
151
398490
3789
žive sa skrivenim, ali vrlo opipljivim,
strahom
strahom
06:54
that when we put our toes into the water,
152
402303
2341
da kad stavimo prste u vodu,
06:56
there might be something much more ancient
153
404668
2982
tamo možda postoji nešto mnogo starije
06:59
and much more adapted than we are.
154
407674
2137
i mnogo prilagođenije od nas.
07:02
Knowing that you're not top dog
is a welcomed discomfort, I think.
is a welcomed discomfort, I think.
155
410664
4799
Znanje da niste najviši autoritet
je dobrodošla neugodnost, ja mislim.
je dobrodošla neugodnost, ja mislim.
07:08
How often in this modern
and urban and digital age
and urban and digital age
156
416082
3886
Koliko često u ovom modernom
i urbanom i digitalnom dobu
i urbanom i digitalnom dobu
07:11
do you actually get the chance
to feel vulnerable,
to feel vulnerable,
157
419992
3644
zapravo imate priliku osjećati se
ranjivo,
ranjivo,
07:15
or consider that the world may not
have been made for just us?
have been made for just us?
158
423660
4166
ili uzeti u obzir da svijet napravljen
samo za nas?
samo za nas?
07:19
So for the last decade,
159
427850
1282
Posljednje desetljeće,
07:21
I began seeking out these areas
where the concrete yields to forest
where the concrete yields to forest
160
429156
3395
počeo sam tražiti ova područja
gdje beton ustupa pred šumom
gdje beton ustupa pred šumom
07:24
and the pines turn to cypress,
161
432575
2178
a borovi postaju čempresi,
07:26
and I viewed all these
mosquitoes and reptiles,
mosquitoes and reptiles,
162
434777
3645
i vidio sam sve te
komarce i gmazove,
komarce i gmazove,
07:30
all these discomforts,
163
438446
1499
sve te nelagodnosti,
07:31
as affirmations that I'd found
true wilderness,
true wilderness,
164
439969
3532
kad potvrdu da sam našao
pravu divljinu,
pravu divljinu,
07:35
and I embrace them wholly.
165
443525
2160
i prihvatio sam ih u cijelosti.
07:37
Now as a conservation photographer
obsessed with blackwater,
obsessed with blackwater,
166
445709
3403
Sada, kao fotograf koji zagovara očuvanje,
opsjednut crnom vodom,
opsjednut crnom vodom,
07:41
it's only fitting that I'd
eventually end up
eventually end up
167
449136
2120
prikladno je što sam završio
07:43
in the most famous swamp of all:
168
451280
2177
u najslavnijoj močvari:
07:45
the Everglades.
169
453481
1250
Evergladeu.
07:47
Growing up here in North Central Florida,
170
455144
1969
Odrastajući ovdje u Sjevernoj
središnjoj Floridi,
središnjoj Floridi,
07:49
it always had these enchanted names,
171
457137
1730
uvijek je imala očaravajućih imena,
07:50
places like Loxahatchee and Fakahatchee,
172
458891
3342
mjesta kao Loxahatchee i Fakahatchee,
07:54
Corkscrew, Big Cypress.
173
462257
2122
Corkscrew, Veliki čempres.
07:56
I started what turned
into a five-year project
into a five-year project
174
464403
3540
Počeo sam ono što je preraslo u
petogodišnji projekt
petogodišnji projekt
07:59
to hopefully reintroduce
the Everglades in a new light,
the Everglades in a new light,
175
467967
3750
s nadom da ću Everglade prikazati u
novom svjetlu,
novom svjetlu,
08:03
in a more inspired light.
176
471741
1681
u nadahnutijem svjetlu.
08:05
But I knew this would be a tall order,
because here you have an area
because here you have an area
177
473922
3225
No, znao sam da će to biti težak zadatak,
jer ovdje imate površinu
jer ovdje imate površinu
08:09
that's roughly a third the size
the state of Florida, it's huge.
the state of Florida, it's huge.
178
477171
3029
koja čini trećinu veličine Floride,
ogromna je.
ogromna je.
08:12
And when I say Everglades,
179
480224
1277
I kad kažem Everglade,
08:13
most people are like,
"Oh, yeah, the national park."
"Oh, yeah, the national park."
180
481525
2468
većina ljudi pomisli,
"O, da, nacionalni park."
"O, da, nacionalni park."
08:16
But the Everglades is not just a park;
it's an entire watershed,
it's an entire watershed,
181
484017
5013
No, Everglade nije samo park;
već cjelokupni sliv,
već cjelokupni sliv,
08:21
starting with the Kissimmee
chain of lakes in the north,
chain of lakes in the north,
182
489054
3005
počevši od lanca jezera Kissimmee
na sjeveru,
na sjeveru,
08:24
and then as the rains
would fall in the summer,
would fall in the summer,
183
492083
2225
i kako kiše padaju ljeti,
08:26
these downpours would flow
into Lake Okeechobee,
into Lake Okeechobee,
184
494332
2632
slijeva se u jezero Okeechobee,
08:28
and Lake Okeechobee would fill up
and it would overflow its banks
and it would overflow its banks
185
496988
3247
jezero Okeechobee se napuni te
prelijeva iz korita
prelijeva iz korita
08:32
and spill southward, ever slowly,
with the topography,
with the topography,
186
500259
3274
i prolijeva prema jugu, lagano,
prati topografiju,
prati topografiju,
08:35
and get into the river of grass,
the Sawgrass Prairies,
the Sawgrass Prairies,
187
503557
2596
i ulazi u rijeku trave,
Preriju trske,
Preriju trske,
08:38
before meting into the cypress slews,
188
506177
2045
dok se ne sastane s mnoštvom čempresa,
08:40
until going further south
into the mangrove swamps,
into the mangrove swamps,
189
508246
2687
prije nego krene dalje na jug
u močvare mangrova,
u močvare mangrova,
08:42
and then finally -- finally --
reaching Florida Bay,
reaching Florida Bay,
190
510957
3750
i konačno -- konačno --
dosegne Floridski zaljev,
dosegne Floridski zaljev,
08:46
the emerald gem of the Everglades,
191
514731
1773
smaragdni dragulj Evergladea,
08:48
the great estuary,
192
516528
1183
veliko ušće,
08:49
the 850 square-mile estuary.
193
517735
2253
estuarij dug 2200 km kvadratnih.
08:52
So sure, the national park
is the southern end of this system,
is the southern end of this system,
194
520464
4333
Tako da, naravno, nacionalni park
je južni kraj ovog sustava,
je južni kraj ovog sustava,
08:56
but all the things that make it unique
are these inputs that come in,
are these inputs that come in,
195
524821
3303
no ono što ga čini jedinstvenim
su sve stvari koje ulaze,
su sve stvari koje ulaze,
09:00
the fresh water that starts
100 miles north.
100 miles north.
196
528148
2807
svježa voda koja kreće
160 km sjeverno.
160 km sjeverno.
09:02
So no manner of these political
or invisible boundaries
or invisible boundaries
197
530979
3265
Nikako ove političke ili
nevidljive granice
nevidljive granice
09:06
protect the park from polluted water
or insufficient water.
or insufficient water.
198
534268
4387
ne štite park od zagađene vode ili
nedostatka vode.
nedostatka vode.
09:11
And unfortunately, that's precisely
what we've done.
what we've done.
199
539242
2826
A nažalost, to je upravo ono što smo
napravili.
napravili.
09:14
Over the last 60 years,
200
542630
1533
Tijekom posljednjih 60 godina,
09:16
we have drained, we have dammed,
we have dredged the Everglades
we have dredged the Everglades
201
544187
3357
isušili smo, pregradili,
prokopali Everglade
prokopali Everglade
09:19
to where now only one third of the water
that used to reach the bay
that used to reach the bay
202
547568
3981
do granice da samo trećina vode koja
je dolazila do zaljeva
je dolazila do zaljeva
09:23
now reaches the bay today.
203
551573
2007
danas stiže do njega.
09:26
So this story is not all sunshine
and rainbows, unfortunately.
and rainbows, unfortunately.
204
554586
3668
Ova priča nije samo pozitivna,
nažalost.
nažalost.
09:30
For better or for worse,
205
558953
1886
Bilo kako bilo,
09:32
the story of the Everglades
is intrinsically tied
is intrinsically tied
206
560863
3417
priča Evergladea je usko povezana
09:36
to the peaks and the valleys
of mankind's relationship
of mankind's relationship
207
564304
3196
sa vrhuncima i neuspjesima
ljudskog odnosa
ljudskog odnosa
09:39
with the natural world.
208
567524
1340
sa prirodnim svijetom.
09:41
But I'll show you
these beautiful pictures,
these beautiful pictures,
209
569255
2025
No, ja ću vam pokazati ove predivne
slike,
slike,
09:43
because it gets you on board.
210
571304
1461
jer privlače vašu pažnju.
09:44
And while I have your attention,
I can tell you the real story.
I can tell you the real story.
211
572789
3128
Dok imam vašu pozornost,
mogu vam ispričati stvarnu priču.
mogu vam ispričati stvarnu priču.
09:47
It's that we're taking this,
212
575941
1951
A to je da uzimamo ovo,
09:49
and we're trading it for this,
213
577916
2963
i mijenjamo za ovo,
09:52
at an alarming rate.
214
580903
1495
alarmantnom brzinom.
09:55
And what's lost on so many people
215
583358
1710
Ono što mnogi ljudi ne shvate
09:57
is the sheer scale
of which we're discussing.
of which we're discussing.
216
585092
2511
je sam razmjer onoga o čemu
raspravljamo.
raspravljamo.
09:59
Because the Everglades is not just
responsible for the drinking water
responsible for the drinking water
217
587627
3428
Everglade je, ne samo odgovoran
za pitku vodu
za pitku vodu
10:03
for 7 million Floridians;
218
591079
2204
7 milijuna Floriđanina;
10:05
today it also provides
the agricultural fields
the agricultural fields
219
593307
2538
već snabdijeva poljoprivredna zemljišta,
10:07
for the year-round tomatoes and oranges
220
595869
2559
rajčicama i narančama cijele godine
10:10
for over 300 million Americans.
221
598452
2831
za preko 300 milijuna Amerikanaca.
10:14
And it's that same seasonal pulse
of water in the summer
of water in the summer
222
602391
3314
A u pitanju je isti sezonski puls
vode ljeti
vode ljeti
10:17
that built the river of grass
6,000 years ago.
6,000 years ago.
223
605729
3893
koji je zaslužan za rijeku trave
prije 6000 godina.
prije 6000 godina.
10:22
Ironically, today, it's also responsible
for the over half a million acres
for the over half a million acres
224
610284
4378
Ironično, danas je odgovoran i za
preko pola milijuna jutara
preko pola milijuna jutara
10:26
of the endless river of sugarcane.
225
614686
2455
beskrajnog niza šećerne trske.
10:29
These are the same fields
that are responsible
that are responsible
226
617899
2169
To su ista polja
odgovorna
odgovorna
10:32
for dumping exceedingly high levels
of fertilizers into the watershed,
of fertilizers into the watershed,
227
620092
4024
za bacanje prekomjerno visoke razine
gnojiva u slijev,
gnojiva u slijev,
10:36
forever changing the system.
228
624140
2163
zauvijek mijenjajući sustav.
10:38
But in order for you to not just
understand how this system works,
understand how this system works,
229
626749
3212
No, da bi, ne samo razumjeli kako
ovaj sustav radi,
ovaj sustav radi,
10:41
but to also get personally
connected to it,
connected to it,
230
629985
2063
već da se i osobno povežete s njim,
10:44
I decided to break the story down
into several different narratives.
into several different narratives.
231
632072
3275
odlučio sam priču podijeliti
u nekoliko različitih pripovijesti.
u nekoliko različitih pripovijesti.
10:47
And I wanted that story to start
in Lake Okeechobee,
in Lake Okeechobee,
232
635371
2788
I želio sam da priča krene od jezera
Okeechobee,
Okeechobee,
10:50
the beating heart of the Everglade system.
233
638183
2747
kucajućeg srca sustava Everglade.
10:52
And to do that, I picked an ambassador,
234
640954
2463
Da bi to uspio, izabrao sam
ambasadora,
ambasadora,
10:55
an iconic species.
235
643441
1249
ikonsku vrstu.
10:57
This is the Everglade snail kite.
236
645204
1992
Ovo je Evergladeski
Rostrhamus sociabilis.
Rostrhamus sociabilis.
10:59
It's a great bird,
237
647720
1246
Divna ptica,
11:00
and they used to nest in the thousands,
238
648990
1874
nekad su se gnijezdile tisuće,
11:02
thousands in the northern Everglades.
239
650888
1803
tisuće ovih ptica na sjeveru Evergladea.
11:04
And then they've gone down
to about 400 nesting pairs today.
to about 400 nesting pairs today.
240
652715
3504
Njihova brojka je opala
na otprilike 400 parova danas.
na otprilike 400 parova danas.
11:08
And why is that?
241
656243
1345
A zašto je tako?
11:09
Well, it's because they eat
one source of food, an apple snail,
one source of food, an apple snail,
242
657612
3124
Zato što jedu samo jednu vrstu
hrane, puža jabučara,

11:16
So as we started damming up
the Everglades,
the Everglades,
244
664185
3225
Kako smo krenuli pregrađivati
Everglade,
Everglade,
11:19
as we started diking Lake Okeechobee
and draining the wetlands,
and draining the wetlands,
245
667434
3477
kako smo izgradili nasipe u jezeru
Okeechobee i isušili močvare,
Okeechobee i isušili močvare,
11:22
we lost the habitat for the snail.
246
670935
2112
izgubili smo stanište ovog puža.
11:25
And thus, the population
of the kites declined.
of the kites declined.
247
673071
2792
Pa je i populacija jastreba opala.
11:28
And so, I wanted a photo that would
not only communicate this relationship
not only communicate this relationship
248
676454
3496
Želio sam sliku koja bi, ne samo
komunicirala ovaj odnos
komunicirala ovaj odnos
11:31
between wetland, snail and bird,
249
679974
3089
između močvare, puža i ptice,
11:35
but I also wanted a photo
that would communicate
that would communicate
250
683087
2249
nego sam htio sliku koja bi
predočila
predočila
11:37
how incredible this relationship was,
251
685360
2794
koliko je nevjerojatan taj odnos,
11:40
and how very important it is
that they've come to depend on each other,
that they've come to depend on each other,
252
688178
4156
koliko je bitan da su zdrava močvara i
ova ptica počeli
ova ptica počeli
11:44
this healthy wetland and this bird.
253
692358
1667
ovisiti jedna o drugoj.
11:46
And to do that, I brainstormed this idea.
254
694049
1972
Da bih to uspio, došao sam na ovu ideju,
11:48
I started sketching
out these plans to make a photo,
out these plans to make a photo,
255
696045
3238
počeo sam skicirati ove planove
za sliku,
za sliku,
11:51
and I sent it to the wildlife biologist
down in Okeechobee --
down in Okeechobee --
256
699307
2887
i poslao sam ih biologu za divljinu
iz Okeechobeea --
iz Okeechobeea --
11:54
this is an endangered bird,
so it takes special permission to do.
so it takes special permission to do.
257
702218
3087
ovo je ugrožena vrsta i potrebna
je posebna dozvola za to.
je posebna dozvola za to.
11:57
So I built this submerged platform
258
705329
1694
Napravio sam ovu uronjenu platformu
11:59
that would hold snails
just right under the water.
just right under the water.
259
707047
2482
koja drži puža tik ispod vode.
12:01
And I spent months planning
this crazy idea.
this crazy idea.
260
709553
4458
Proveo sam mjesece planirajući ovu
ludu ideju.
ludu ideju.
12:06
And I took this platform
down to Lake Okeechobee
down to Lake Okeechobee
261
714035
2976
Odnio sam tu platformu dolje do
jezera Okeechobee
jezera Okeechobee
12:09
and I spent over a week in the water,
262
717035
2072
i proveo više od tjedan dana u vodi,
12:11
wading waist-deep,
9-hour shifts from dawn until dusk,
9-hour shifts from dawn until dusk,
263
719131
3716
uronjen do struka,
u smjenama po 9 sati od zore do sumraka,
u smjenama po 9 sati od zore do sumraka,
12:14
to get one image that I thought
might communicate this.
might communicate this.
264
722871
3160
da bih dobio sliku koja će prenijeti
ovu poruku.
ovu poruku.
12:18
And here's the day that it finally worked:
265
726055
2215
Ovo je dan kad je napokon uspjelo:
12:20
[Video: (Mac Stone narrating)
After setting up the platform,
After setting up the platform,
266
728294
2857
[Video: (Mac Stone priča)
Nakon postavljanja platforme,
Nakon postavljanja platforme,
12:23
I look off and I see a kite
coming over the cattails.
coming over the cattails.
267
731175
2537
Pogledam i vidim jastreba kako
dolazi preko rogoza.
dolazi preko rogoza.
12:25
And I see him scanning and searching.
268
733736
1922
Vidim da skenira i pretražuje.
12:27
And he gets right over the trap,
269
735682
1605
I dođe točno iznad zamke,
12:29
and I see that he's seen it.
270
737311
1521
i vidim da ju je primjetio.
12:30
And he beelines,
he goes straight for the trap.
he goes straight for the trap.
271
738856
2723
i strmoglavi se najkraćim putem do
zamke.
zamke.
12:33
And in that moment,
all those months of planning, waiting,
all those months of planning, waiting,
272
741603
3156
U tom trenutku svi ti mjeseci
planiranja, čekanja,
planiranja, čekanja,
12:36
all the sunburn, mosquito bites --
273
744783
2110
sve te opekline od sunca, ugrizi komaraca --
12:38
suddenly, they're all worth it.
274
746917
2538
iznenada, sve je vrijedilo toga.
12:41
(Mac Stone in film) Oh my gosh,
I can't believe it!]
I can't believe it!]
275
749479
3915
(Mac Stone u filmu) O moj Bože,
ne mogu vjerovati!]
ne mogu vjerovati!]
12:45
You can believe how excited I was
when that happened.
when that happened.
276
753695
2597
Ne možete vjerovati koliko sam uzbuđen
bio kad se ovo dogodilo.
bio kad se ovo dogodilo.
12:48
But what the idea was,
277
756316
1340
Ideja je bila da,
12:49
is that for someone
who's never seen this bird
who's never seen this bird
278
757680
2199
nekome tko nikada nije vidio ovu pticu
12:51
and has no reason to care about it,
279
759903
2070
i nema razloga mariti za nju,
12:53
these photos, these new perspectives,
280
761997
2625
ove slike, ova nova gledišta,
12:56
will help shed a little new light
on just one species
on just one species
281
764646
3122
pomažu vidjeti u novom svjetlu
samo jednu vrstu
samo jednu vrstu
12:59
that makes this watershed
so incredible, so valuable, so important.
so incredible, so valuable, so important.
282
767792
4282
koja čini ovaj slijev toliko nevjerojatnim,
toliko dragocjenim, toliko bitnim.
toliko dragocjenim, toliko bitnim.
13:04
Now, I know I can't come
here to Gainesville
here to Gainesville
283
772615
2923
Ne mogu doći ovdje u
Gainesville
Gainesville
13:07
and talk to you about animals
in the Everglades
in the Everglades
284
775562
2246
i pričati vam o životinjama u
Evergladeu
Evergladeu
13:09
without talking about gators.
285
777832
1788
bez da spomenem aligatore.
13:11
I love gators, I grew up loving gators.
286
779644
2290
Ja volim aligatore, volio sam ih
tijekom odrastanja.
tijekom odrastanja.
13:14
My parents always said I had
an unhealthy relationship with gators.
an unhealthy relationship with gators.
287
782361
3416
Roditelji su mi uvijek govorili da imam
nezdrav odnos s aligatorima.
nezdrav odnos s aligatorima.
13:17
But what I like about them is,
288
785801
1468
No, ono što volim kod njih je,
13:19
they're like the freshwater
equivalent of sharks.
equivalent of sharks.
289
787293
2604
što su ekvivalent slatkovodnim
morskim psima.
morskim psima.
13:21
They're feared, they're hated,
290
789921
1648
Ljudi ih se boje, mrze ih,
13:23
and they are tragically misunderstood.
291
791593
2364
a tragično su neshvaćeni.
13:26
Because these are a unique species,
they're not just apex predators.
they're not just apex predators.
292
794386
3764
Jer su jedinstvena vrsta, nisu samo
vrsni grabežljivci.
vrsni grabežljivci.
13:30
In the Everglades,
293
798174
1290
U Evergladeu,
13:31
they are the very architects
of the Everglades,
of the Everglades,
294
799488
2494
upravo su oni arhitekti
Evergladea,
Evergladea,
13:34
because as the water drops
down in the winter
down in the winter
295
802006
2143
jer kako voda opada zimi
13:36
during the dry season,
296
804173
1158
tijekom suhe sezone,
13:37
they start excavating these holes
called gator holes.
called gator holes.
297
805355
3022
oni kreću iskopavati ove rupe,
koje se zovu aligatorske rupe.
koje se zovu aligatorske rupe.
13:40
And they do this because
as the water drops down,
as the water drops down,
298
808401
2310
A to rade da bi, kako voda opada,
13:42
they'll be able to stay wet
and they'll be able to forage.
and they'll be able to forage.
299
810735
3387
ostali vlažni i mogli tragati
za hranom.
za hranom.
13:46
And now this isn't just affecting them,
300
814645
2319
A ovo ne utječe samo na njih,
13:48
other animals also depend
on this relationship,
on this relationship,
301
816988
2233
i ostale životinje ovise o ovom
odnosu,
odnosu,
13:51
so they become a keystone species as well.
302
819245
2678
te oni postaju ključna vrsta, također.
13:54
So how do you make an apex predator,
an ancient reptile,
an ancient reptile,
303
822677
4235
Dakle, kako da prikažete vrsnog
grabežljivca, antičkog gmaza,
grabežljivca, antičkog gmaza,
13:58
at once look like it dominates the system,
304
826936
2478
kako dominira sustavom,
14:01
but at the same time, look vulnerable?
305
829438
2443
a da u isto vrijeme izgleda ranjivo?
14:04
Well, you wade into a pit
of about 120 of them,
of about 120 of them,
306
832706
4043
Pa, zagazite u jamu sa oko 120
aligatora,
aligatora,
14:08
then you hope that you've made
the right decision.
the right decision.
307
836773
2406
i nadate se da ste donijeli
ispravnu odluku.
ispravnu odluku.
14:11
(Laughter)
308
839203
1764
(Smijeh)
14:13
I still have all my fingers, it's cool.
309
841955
1960
Još uvijek imam sve prste, sve je u redu.
14:16
But I understand, I know
I'm not going to rally you guys,
I'm not going to rally you guys,
310
844677
2702
No, razumijem, neću vas zaskočiti,
14:19
I'm not going to rally the troops to
"Save the Everglades for the gators!"
"Save the Everglades for the gators!"
311
847403
3610
neću podići trupe i navijati:
"Spasite Everglade za aligatore!"
"Spasite Everglade za aligatore!"
14:23
It won't happen because
they're so ubiquitous,
they're so ubiquitous,
312
851037
2198
To se neće dogoditi jer su
sveprisutni,
sveprisutni,
14:25
we see them now,
313
853259
1151
vidimo ih sada,
14:26
they're one of the great conservation
success stories of the US.
success stories of the US.
314
854434
3342
oni su jedna od uspješnijih priča o
očuvanju u SAD-u.
očuvanju u SAD-u.
14:29
But there is one species in the Everglades
that no matter who you are,
that no matter who you are,
315
857800
3326
No, postoji jedna vrsta u Evergladeu
koju bez obzira tko ste,
koju bez obzira tko ste,
14:33
you can't help but love, too,
and that's the roseate spoonbill.
and that's the roseate spoonbill.
316
861150
3079
ne možete ne voljeti,
a to je ružičasta žličarka.
a to je ružičasta žličarka.
14:36
These birds are great, but they've had
a really tough time in the Everglades,
a really tough time in the Everglades,
317
864253
3631
Ove ptice su izvrsne, no imale su
tegoba u Evergladeu,
tegoba u Evergladeu,
14:39
because they started out with thousands
of nesting pairs in Florida Bay,
of nesting pairs in Florida Bay,
318
867908
3466
jer su brojali tisuće parova u
Floridskom zaljevu,
Floridskom zaljevu,
14:43
and at the turn of the 20th century,
319
871398
2063
a na početku 20. stoljeća,
14:45
they got down to two -- two nesting pairs.
320
873485
3592
su spali na dva -- dva para
za gniježđenje.
za gniježđenje.
14:49
And why?
321
877101
1164
A zašto?
14:50
That's because women thought
they looked better on their hats
they looked better on their hats
322
878681
2896
Zato što su žene mislile da izgledaju
bolje na njihovim šeširima
bolje na njihovim šeširima
14:53
then they did flying in the sky.
323
881601
2013
nego u letu na nebu.
14:56
Then we banned the plume trade,
324
884324
2409
Onda smo zabranili trgovinu perjem,
14:58
and their numbers started rebounding.
325
886757
2118
i njihov broj se krenuo oporavljati.
15:00
And as their numbers started rebounding,
326
888899
2025
Kako se njihov broj krenuo oporavljati,
15:02
scientists began to pay attention,
327
890948
1739
znanstvenici su počeli obraćati pažnju,
15:04
they started studying these birds.
328
892711
1713
počeli su proučavati ove ptice.
15:06
And what they found out is that
329
894448
1485
Pronašli su da je
15:07
these birds' behavior
is intrinsically tied
is intrinsically tied
330
895957
2158
ponašanje ovih ptica suštinski
povezano
povezano
15:10
to the annual draw-down
cycle of water in the Everglades,
cycle of water in the Everglades,
331
898139
2918
sa godišnjim ciklusom povlačenja
vode u Evergladeu,
vode u Evergladeu,
15:13
the thing that defines
the Everglades watershed.
the Everglades watershed.
332
901081
2679
to je stvar koja definira
slijev Evergladea.
slijev Evergladea.
15:16
What they found out is that
333
904291
1537
Pronašli su da se
15:17
these birds started nesting in the winter
as the water drew down,
as the water drew down,
334
905852
3068
ove ptice kreću gnijezditi zimi
kako se voda povlači,
kako se voda povlači,
15:20
because they're tactile feeders,
so they have to touch whatever they eat.
so they have to touch whatever they eat.
335
908944
3580
jer su taktilni hranioci,
moraju dodirnuti ono što jedu.
moraju dodirnuti ono što jedu.
15:24
And so they wait for these
concentrated pools of fish
concentrated pools of fish
336
912548
3098
Tako da čekaju ove koncentrirane
bazene riba
bazene riba
15:27
to be able to feed enough
to feed their young.
to feed their young.
337
915670
2397
da bi bili siti nahraniti mlade.
15:30
So these birds became the very icon
of the Everglades --
of the Everglades --
338
918877
2989
Upravo ove ptice su postale ikone
Evergladea --
Evergladea --
15:33
an indicator species
of the overall health of the system.
of the overall health of the system.
339
921890
3492
vrsta koja je pokazatelj
sveukupnog zdravlja sustava.
sveukupnog zdravlja sustava.
15:37
And just as their numbers were rebounding
in the mid-20th century --
in the mid-20th century --
340
925406
3207
No, kako se njihov broj krenuo oporavljati
sredinom 20. stoljeća --
sredinom 20. stoljeća --
15:40
shooting up to 900, 1,000, 1,100, 1,200 --
341
928637
4649
na 900, 1000, 1100, 1200 --
15:45
just as that started happening, we started
draining the southern Everglades.
draining the southern Everglades.
342
933310
3756
kako se to počelo događati, krenuli smo
isušivati južni Everglade.
isušivati južni Everglade.
15:49
And we stopped two-thirds
of that water from moving south.
of that water from moving south.
343
937090
3504
Zaustavili smo dvije trećine vode
koja ide na jug.
koja ide na jug.
15:52
And it had drastic consequences.
344
940618
2499
To je imalo drastične posljedice.
15:55
And just as those numbers
started reaching their peak,
started reaching their peak,
345
943584
2614
I kako su ti brojevi dosegnuli
svoj vrhunac,
svoj vrhunac,
15:58
unfortunately, today,
the real spoonbill story,
the real spoonbill story,
346
946222
3073
nažalost, danas,
stvarna priča ružičaste žličarke,
stvarna priča ružičaste žličarke,
16:01
the real photo of what it looks like
is more something like this.
is more something like this.
347
949319
4617
stvarna slika današnjeg stanja
izgleda ovako.
izgleda ovako.
16:07
And we're down to less than 70
nesting pairs in Florida Bay today,
nesting pairs in Florida Bay today,
348
955007
4616
Danas smo spali na manje od 70 parova
u Floridskom zaljevu,
u Floridskom zaljevu,
16:11
because we've disrupted
the system so much.
the system so much.
349
959647
2544
jer smo previše poremetili sustav.
16:14
So all these different organizations
are shouting, they're screaming,
are shouting, they're screaming,
350
962215
3251
Sve te različite organizacije
vrište, oni vrište,
vrište, oni vrište,
16:17
"The Everglades is fragile! It's fragile!"
351
965490
2015
"Everglade je krhak! Krhak je!"
16:19
It is not.
352
967529
1151
Nije.
16:20
It is resilient.
353
968704
1550
Otporan je.
16:22
Because despite all we've taken,
despite all we've done and we've drained
despite all we've done and we've drained
354
970278
3492
Usprkos svemu što smo uzeli,
usprkos svemu što smo učinili i isušili
usprkos svemu što smo učinili i isušili
16:25
and we've dammed and we've dredged it,
355
973794
1839
i pregradili i iskopali,
16:27
pieces of it are still here,
waiting to be put back together.
waiting to be put back together.
356
975657
2896
dijelovi su i dalje tamo,
čekaju da ih se ponovno sastavi.

And it's at this new frontier
that we are forced with a new appraisal.

Upravo na toj novoj granici smo

What is wilderness worth?

What is the value of biodiversity,

And fortunately, after decades of debate,

Srećom, nakon desteljeća debate,
16:53
we're finally starting to act
on those questions.

napokon počinjemo djelovati u
skladu s tim pitanjima.

16:56
We're slowly undertaking these projects

Poduzimamo ove projekte
16:59
to bring more freshwater back to the bay.
366
1007024

But it's up to us as citizens,

Jednostavno je.

Just get outside, get out there.

Samo izađite van, izađite tamo.

It's a lot of fun, just do it --

Zabavno je, samo to napravite --

17:29
The swamp will change you, I promise.
378
1037639
2514
Močvara će vas promijeniti, obećavam.
17:33
Over the years, we've been so generous
379
1041351
1872
Tijekom godina, bili smo toliko
velikodušni
velikodušni
17:35
with these other landscapes
around the country,

380
1043247
3070
prema ostalim predjelima diljem
zemlje,
zemlje,
17:38
cloaking them with this American pride,
381
1046341
2821
obavijajući ih američkim ponosom,
17:41
places that we now consider to define us:
382
1049186
2371
mjesta koja nas danas definiraju:
17:43
Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone.
383
1051581

Veliki kanjon Kolorada, Yosemite,
Yellowstone.
Yellowstone.
17:46
And we use these parks
and these natural areas

384
1054730

Koristimo ove parkove
i prirodne površine
i prirodne površine
17:49
as beacons and as cultural compasses.
385
1057163
3243
kao svjetionike i kulturne kompase.
17:53
And sadly, the Everglades is very commonly
386
1061184
2045
Nažalost, Everglade se obično
17:55
left out of that conversation.
387
1063253
1916
izostavlja iz ovog razgovora.
17:57
But I believe it's every bit
as iconic and emblematic
as iconic and emblematic
388
1065600
2508
Ja vjerujem da jednako
ikonski i amblemski znači
ikonski i amblemski znači
18:00
of who we are as a country
389
1068132
1873
za ono tko smo kao država
18:02
as any of these other wildernesses.
390
1070029
2501
kao i bilo koja od ovih drugih divljina.
18:04
It's just a different kind of wild.
391
1072554
2487
Ovo je samo drugačija vrsta divljine.
18:08
But I'm encouraged,
392
1076057
1327
No, ohrabren sam,
18:09
because maybe we're finally
starting to come around,
starting to come around,
393
1077408
2694
možda konačno počinjemo
shvaćati,
shvaćati,
18:12
because what was once deemed
this swampy wasteland,
this swampy wasteland,
394
1080126
2587
jer ono što je smatrano
močvarnom pustoši,
močvarnom pustoši,
18:14
today is a World Heritage site.
395
1082737
2063
danas je mjesto Svjetske kulturne baštine.
18:17
It's a wetland
of international importance.

396
1085404

Močvara internacionalne važnosti.
18:20
And we've come a long way
in the last 60 years.

Daleko smo napredovali
u posljednjih 60 godina.

18:23
And as the world's largest and most
ambitious wetland restoration project,

Zbog najvećeg na svijetu i
najambicioznijeg projekta obnove močvara,

18:27
the international spotlight
is on us in the Sunshine State.

Sunčana država je
u internacionalnom središtu pozornosti.

18:32
Because if we can heal this system,
400
1100309
1733
Ako izliječimo ovaj sustav,
18:34
it's going to become an icon
for wetland restoration

401
1102066

postat će simbol obnove
močvara

18:37
all over the world.
402
1105539

18:40
But it's up to us to decide which legacy
we want to attach our flag to.

403
1108236

Na nama je da odlučimo kojoj ostavštini
želimo podići zastavu.

18:45
They say that the Everglades
is our greatest test.
is our greatest test.
404
1113508
3384
Kažu da je Everglade naš najveći test.
18:49
If we pass it, we get to keep the planet.
405
1117984
2670
Ako ga prođemo, možemo zadržati planet.
18:53
I love that quote,
406
1121565
1403
Volim taj navod,
18:54
because it's a challenge, it's a prod.
407
1122992
2033
jer je izazovan, poticajan.
18:57
Can we do it? Will we do it?
408
1125049
1879
Možemo li to? Hoćemo li to učiniti?
18:58
We have to, we must.
409
1126952
1739
Moramo, moramo.
19:01
But the Everglades is not just a test.
410
1129507
1965
No, Everglade nije samo test.
19:03
It's also a gift,
411
1131916
1619
Nego je, također, i dar,
19:05
and ultimately, our responsibility.
412
1133559
2867
i konačno, naša odgovornost.
19:08
Thank you.

Hvala vam.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Mac Stone - PhotographerFlorida-based photographer Mac Stone specializes in documenting the Everglades, an area he prizes for its wildlife and flora.
Why you should listen
Mac Stone is a conservation photographer from Gainesville, Florida. Growing up exploring the springs, swamps, and hammocks of North Central Florida, he developed a passion for photography at a young age.
Over the years his camera has carried him to some of the most remote and imperiled areas this side of the globe. For six months, Stone lived in Ecuador during the presidential overthrow of 2005 and worked with Wildlife Conservation Society biologists in the Amazon rainforest. Soon after, he moved to Honduras and lived in a small village along the Cangrejal River. For two years he taught photography to underprivileged youth as a way to raise environmental awareness in the region. Some of the students have gone on to win international acclaim and start up their own eco-tourism businesses. Through photography, Stone strives to start new conversations and expose the dynamic relationship between mankind and the natural world.
Currently, his work focuses on America's swamps in an attempt to change public opinion towards our country’s wetlands. After spending five years living and working in the Everglades watershed, he will be releasing a 304-page coffee table book about the heralded River of Grass. Everglades: America's Wetland, published by University Press of Florida in October 2014 has won a silver medal with the Florida Book Awards and is now in its second printing.
