PROLOGUE
序
In the four billion years since the insignificant gene evolved from that primordial soup
life has evolved so richly, so tenaciously and fragile, all over the planet, from the sky to the earth, from land to sea...
Human beings boast that “of all things primate", but compared with the prosperity of human beings alone, we should take care of the whole ecological development, so we deserve the title of "of all things primate". TEDxHangzhou will launch a salon on biodiversity at the end of October, hoping to shine a little light on ecological conservation, and hopefully more.
We would like to thank SEE（Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology) Foundation, SEE Foundation Zhejiang Project Center, Jingcao Carnival, Grow Up Together and WWF Beijing office for their professional guidance and help.
THEME
主题释义
"Too long a captive in a cage, I have now come back to nature.”
- Tao Yuanming, Return to Nature
Among numerous faces of the lifestyles people are seeking for, returning to nature is definitely one of them. How many times we were imaging a life, where dogs are barking in the alleys, roosters are clucking in the tree, and every season is having their own path. We are living in here, we are embracing, connecting and closely relating to everything on this planet.
However, most of us seem to be taking nature for granted. Just like what Leonardo said, during his winning speech for the Best Actor Award at the 88th Oscar Academy Awards, "Let's do not take this planet for granted, I do not take tonight for granted." He reflected the difficulties of finding an ideal scene for nature while he was shooting the Revenant, and powerfully alerted us: Don't take nature for granted.
How vast the universe is, then how diverse the things are living in - This planet is not the heritage of mankind, and human beings are just one of the numerous wonders existing in this infinite universe.
In this October at TEDxHangzhouSalon, we would neither trying to repeat the cliché of environmental protection, nor giving you a dull popular science lecture. All we wanted is to invite you to join us, to rediscover the myth and miracle of our life and species, to discuss what awe and humbleness are, and thus, to consider why does our concern matters.

嘉宾介绍
speaker lineup is subject to change
Ash Dykes
@ British Adventurer and Extreme Athlete
“Ash Dykes, a British Adventurer and Extreme Athlete, 3x world first record holder, author of Mission Possible and motivational speaker, who recently headlined news on becoming the first recorded person to hike the entire 4,000 mile long Yangtze River in China, the longest river to run through a single nation. He faced bears, altitude, wolves, -20DC, blizzards and had to send 10 of the 16 people who had joined him during different sections back home, due to injury, fear of wildlife and altitude sickness.
He worked with organisations like WWF and the biodiversity foundation to help spread awareness on climate change and plastic pollution, as well as making it one of the world’s most interactive firsts, sharing the journey online globally and becoming a sensation across China.”
Rafael Araujo
@ frankenstein, architect and illustrator
As an autodidact in geometry and the use of the Golden Ratio, Rafael Araujo’s work is the outcome of years of persistence, trial an error upon the theme of tridimensional representation of the world and the “platonic” search of the illusion of the “Truth”, by means of the development of structures which could perfectly be described as illustrated equations of natural subjects: shells, butterflies’ spirals, etc.
He does all by hand, on his drawing board with classical architectural drawing tools (a compass, protractor, squares and rules) and do not use any kind of computer software whatsoever His approach to the Golden Ratio and its use within my Work has a geometrical character rather than a mathematical one. The golden Mean as well as the Fibonacci Spiral (directly related) could be calculated with utter precision by the use the classical tools of technical drawing. So there he place the challenge for those who dare to try their geometrical skills into this area.
