1
You know, I think photos can help inspire all kinds of emotions.
2
You know, they can be beautiful.
3
They can also help inspire wonder in people.
4
So this is a photo of a tiny chameleon from the island of Madagascar.
5
Do we have anybody from Madagascar here today?
6
That would be really neat.
7
This is a chameleon that is a fully grown adult.
8
So it's really, really small and I put it on a human finger so you can see just how tiny it is.
9
Amazingly, it's not even the smallest species in Madagascar.
10
The smallest one can actually fit on the head of a match.
11
Photos can also make us care about species and places that are really far away from our homes.
12
Like this photo of a Sulawesi crested black macaque from Indonesia.
13
And I saw earlier that we had somebody from Indonesia on this webinar, So that's wonderful to see.
14
Photos can also make us aware of environmental issues, like the overfishing of sharks and other big fish that are found in our oceans.
15
And this is an issue that's happening worldwide.
16
So it was really this understanding of the power of photographs that inspired me to apply to National Geographic
17
for a Young Explorers Grant to go to the country of Peru to photograph conservation efforts in the Amazon rainforest.
18
I actually, I just got a great question.
19
Do I get scared?
20
Yeah, sometimes I get a little nervous when I'm out in the forest, but it's absolutely worth it every time.
21
But I really love being out there in the forest.
22
And in this case, I spent 10 months in the Amazon rainforest.
23
And I was photographing these conservation efforts from the high Andes Mountains,
24
seen here, all the way to the lowland Amazon rainforest.
25
To make photos like this one, I would have to get up at 4 o'clock a.m in the morning
26
and drag myself out of bed
27
and go into the dark forest in the middle of the night
28
and to climb a radio tower that was about 60 meters high
29
or 180 feet high so I could be above the canopy at dawn.
30
But I wanted to do those things to really show how beautiful these landscapes are and to make people care about them.
31
And Peru is full of adventures.
32
In this case, we had to trek for a couple of hours through the forest.
33
We crossed rivers 11 times, and then we camped in the forest for 10 days in Peru.
34
I was working with these park rangers who were monitoring wildlife, but we went out there so that we could really show some of the animals that were living in this forest.
35
I got to photograph some pretty cool critters like mustache monkeys in the Peruvian Amazon on,
36
scarlet macaws soaring above the canopy, and even some smaller creatures,
37
because I really love to not just show the big charismatic animals, but the more rare creatures, the ones that are overlooked.
38
So like monkey frogs, these really cute little frogs that are found in the understory and are a little bit camouflaged.
39
And I'm telling you about Peru because it was a really great learning experience for me.
40
Of course, it was an adventure, but more than that, it was a learning experience because I got to work with students.
41
As part of my project in Peru, I was able to give presentations and photo workshops to students in schools.
42
And these are some of those students out bird watching in one of the forests.
43
And as I shared my photos of wildlife with these students, like the mustache monkey or the scarlet macaw,
44
what I realized is that these students had almost never heard of these animals.
45
They actually knew more about elephants and giraffes
46
in faraway Africa than they did about the incredible animals that are found essentially in their backyards.
47
And that was a very important moment for me as a photographer,
48
because I really realized that we have to connect kids with nature in the places where they live.
49
Kids are not going to care about protecting wildlife if they don't even know that these species exist.

Por que praticar fala com esse vídeo?
Esse vídeo é uma jóia para quem quer melhorar a prática de conversação em inglês de forma natural. A narradora usa uma linguagem acessível, repleta de histórias e detalhes que incentivam a imitação — perfeito para o shadowing em inglês. Ao acompanhar suas experiências na Amazônia peruana, você aprende a falar sobre emoções, aventuras e temas ambientais, contextos super úteis no dia a dia. Além disso, a variedade de vocabulário (desde animais exóticos até ações como "trek through the forest") ajuda a expandir seu repertório de forma divertida. É como ter um guia para o shadowing site ideal: conteúdo interessante que faz você querer repetir e aprender sem perceber!
Gramática e expressões no contexto
Vamos analisar 3 estruturas chave do vídeo que você pode usar no seu dia a dia:
- "It was really this understanding that inspired me...": A estrutura "it was... that" (ênfase) é usada para destacar uma ideia. Exemplo: "It was the photo of the chameleon that made me interested in nature."
- "Kids are not going to care about protecting wildlife if they don't even know...": O "if" condicional aqui conecta uma causa e efeito. Pratique: "I won't go to the park if it rains."
- "I wanted to do those things to really show how beautiful these landscapes are...": O "to" infinitivo para fins (mostrar o objetivo). Use: "I study English to communicate with people from other countries."
Armadilhas de pronúncia comuns
Algumas palavras no vídeo podem ser desafiadoras — veja como evitá-las:
- "Chameleon": A pronúncia correta é /kəˈmiːliən/ (não "chameleão" como em português). Repita devagar: "ka-MEE-lee-uhn".
- "Sulawesi": Essa ilha indonésia é pronunciada /suːləˈweɪsi/ (não "sula-VÉ-si"). Dê ênfase na segunda sílaba: "soo-luh-WAY-see".
- "Canopy": Refere-se à copa das árvores, e a pronúncia é /ˈkænəpi/ (não "cânope"). Repita: "KAN-uh-pee".
Lembre-se: o shadow speak é uma ótima forma de dominar essas nuances. Repita as frases do vídeo, imitando o tom e a velocidade da narradora — isso ajuda a treinar a ouvinte e a fala ao mesmo tempo. Com prática, essas palavras vão ficar naturais!

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
