Transcript (English)

- Hello. We have found that, after all, there isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. As we find animals doing things that we, in our arrogance, used to think was just human. I know that they share our emotions, pleasure, joy, sadness, fear. I knew there was deforestation going on around the park, but I was not prepared for the absolute devastation. I couldn't just stay in Gombe, watching chimpanzees leading an idyllic life. I had to try and do whatever I could. But it's not really possible to think about conservation unless you bring the people into the picture. It's where they live, after all. I'm very determined. We hear, "Think globally, act locally." Don't. If you think globally, you become filled with gloom. But if you take a little piece of this whole picture, my piece, our piece, this is what I can do here. I'm making a difference. And hi, wow, they're making a difference over there, and so are they, and so are they. And so, gradually, the pieces get filled in and the world is a better place because of you.

- Hola. CURIOSA VISIONARIA ORIGINAL Hemos descubierto que, después de todo, no hay una línea clara que divida a los humanos del resto del reino animal, a medida que encontramos animales haciendo cosas que, en nuestra arrogancia, solíamos pensar que eran solo humanas. Sé que ellos comparten nuestras emociones, placer, alegría, tristeza, miedo. UN TOQUE COMENZÓ UNA REVOLUCIÓN Sabía que estaban deforestando alrededor del parque, pero no estaba preparado para la devastación absoluta. No podía simplemente quedarme en Gombe, viendo a los chimpancés llevar una vida idílica. Tenía que intentar hacer lo que pudiera. SE ADENTRÓ EN LA SELVA CON UN SUEÑO Y SALIÓ CON UNA MISIÓN Pero no es posible pensar en la conservación a menos que incluyas a las personas en la ecuación. Después de todo, es donde viven. ÍCONO DEFENSORA Estoy muy decidida. HEROÍNA Escuchamos, "Piensa globalmente, actúa localmente". No lo hagas. Si piensas globalmente, te llenas de pesimismo. Pero si tomas una pequeña parte de todo este panorama, mi parte, nuestra parte, esto es lo que puedo hacer aquí. Estoy marcando la diferencia. Y mira, ellos están marcando la diferencia allá, y ellos también, y ellos también. Y así, gradualmente, las piezas se van colocando y el mundo es un lugar mejor gracias a ti.
