I was walking in the market one day with my wife,

是我今生所見過最悲傷的眼睛。

There was a very sick orangutan baby, my first encounter.

我最初見到的，是一個病得非常厲害的猩猩寶寶。

That evening I came back to the market in the dark

and sure enough I found a dying orangutan baby on a garbage heap.

果然﹐我在垃圾堆上發現一個正在死去的小猩猩。

until she finally started breathing normally.

She's now living in the jungle of Sungai Wain,

現在牠住在Sungai Wain保護林區，

而這是Matahari，牠的第二個孩子，

which, by the way, is also the son of the second orangutan I rescued, Dodoy.

事實上牠也是我救來的第二個紅毛猩猩Dodoy的孩子。

這件事戲劇性地改變了我的生命，

and as of today, I have almost 1,000 babies in my two centers.

到今天為止，在我的兩個中心裡，已有將近一千隻小猩猩。

It's horrible. It's a proof of our failing to save them in the wild.

這很糟糕。這不過證明我們失敗了，我們無法在野外救活牠們。

This is merely proof of everyone failing to do the right thing.

這僅表明每個人在他們該做的事上失敗了。

Having more than all the orangutans in all the zoos in the world together,

幾乎所有的紅毛猩猩都活在世界上的動物園裡，

其中已經有六隻消失在森林中了。

The deforestation, especially for oil palm,

伐林，尤其是為了栽種油棕櫚而濫砍林木，

And those are the peat swamp forests on 20 meters of peat,

the largest accumulation of organic material in the world.

就像製造一座座噴發二氧化碳的火山群

that my country is now the third largest emitter of greenhouse gasses in the world,

我的國家已成為全球溫室氣體排放的第三大國，

而我們卻是個毫無工業的國家。

我今天不會花太多時間說這些，

but there are so many of the family of Uce,

which are not so fortunate to live out there in the forest,

that still have to go through that process.

And I don't know anymore where to put them.

而我已不知道要將牠們安置在哪些安全的地方了。

So I decided that I had to come up with a solution for her

於是，我決定必須要為牠想出一個解決方案

that will benefit the people that are trying to exploit those forests,

the loss of habitat and all those victims.

所以我創造一個叫Samboja Lestari的地方

if I can do this on the worst possible place that I can think of

如果我可以在我想像的到最糟糕最不可能的地方完成這件事

no one will have an excuse to say, "Yeah, but ..."

那麼就沒有人會有藉口說，“對啊，但是...”

No. Everyone should be able to follow this.

不會有。這會是每一個人都可以依循的步驟。

So we're in East Borneo. This is the place where I started.

所以我們現在在婆羅洲東部。這是我開始著手的地方。

As you can see there's only yellow terrain.

誠如你所見到的，這裡原先只有一片枯黃荒地

There's nothing left -- just a bit of grass there.

In 2002 we had about 50 percent of the people jobless there.

2002年間我們這裡有將近百分之五十的人沒有工作

People spent so much of their money on health issues and drinking water.

當地人在醫療與飲水上花費很多錢

There was no agricultural productivity left.

This was the poorest district in the whole province

and it was a total extinction of wildlife.

When I stood there in the grass, it's hot -- not even the sound of insects --

當我站在這片草地上，我只覺得熱 -- 那裏甚至沒有一點蟲子的聲音 --

Still, four years later we have created jobs for about 3,000 people.

儘管如此，四年後我們在此創造了３０００個工作機會。

The climate has changed. I will show you:

那裏的氣候也改變了。我將為你們展示：

再也沒有水災，再也沒有火災。

這裡也不再是最貧窮的區域了，

and there is a huge development of biodiversity.

而且此地的生物多樣性也得到巨幅地發展。

We've got over 1,000 species. We have 137 bird species as of today.

我們得到超過一千以上的物種，至今有１３７種鳥類。

So what happened here? We created a huge economic failure in this forest.

所以，這裡到底發生了什麼事? 我們在森林中製造了巨大的經濟損害。

So basically the whole process of destruction

had gone a bit slower than what is happening now with the oil palm.

so they burn the trees and have the minerals available there;

所以他們燃燒一半的樹木與當地現有一半的礦產。

and after a while you're stuck with an area of land

然而在這個地方，在這片草地上

where you can see our very first office there on that hill,

你可以見到山丘上有我們最初的辦公室，

four years later, there is this one green blop on the Earth's surface ...

四年下來，一片綠方地在地球表面出現了...

And there are all these animals, and all these people happy,

這裡有這些動物，這些快樂的人們，

It was quite simple. If you'll look at the steps:

如果你看看這步驟，你會發現很簡單：

we bought the land, we dealt with the fire,

and then only, we started doing the reforestation

Only then we set up the infrastructure and management and the monetary.

在那時我們建立基礎設施、管理、以及財政措施。

But we made sure that in every step of the way

但我們必須確定每一個當地居民

the local people were going to be fully involved
