Ukhenketho lwe-primate lukhulisa uqoqosho lwase-Uganda nge-USD yezigidi ezili-16 minyaka le

Kwindibano yesibini yokugqibela ye Umbutho weAfrika Primatological Society (APS) Indawo yokuhlala e Entebbe Uganda, Ukusukela nge-3-5 kaSeptemba 2019, i-Hon. U-Ephraim Kamuntu, Umphathiswa Wezokhenketho lwezilwanyana zasendle kunye nezinto zakudala, emele iNkulumbuso yase-Uganda, u-Rt. Hon. Ugqirha Ruhakana Rugunda uvule umsitho.

Ixhaswe yiArcus Foundation, iMargot Marsh Biodiversity Foundation, iHouston Zoo, iErnest Kleinwort Charitable Trust, iSolidaridad, iSan Diego Zoo, iPrimate Conservation Inc., iRare Species Fund, iZoo Victoria, iHeidelberg Zoo, iPASRES, kunye ne-West African Primate Conservation Action ( I-WAPCA), umsitho weentsuku ezi-3 udibanise ngaphezulu kweengcali ze-primate ezingama-300, kubandakanya abanqwenela ukuba zii-primatologists, abaphandi, iingcali zolondolozo lwendalo, abachaphazelekayo kwezokhenketho, kunye nabenzi bemigaqo-nkqubo abavela e-Afrika nakwihlabathi liphela ukuze babelane ngezimvo kunye neziphumo zophando, ukuxoxa ngomxholo walo nyaka: "Imiceli mngeni kunye namathuba kulondolozo lwangaphambi kwexesha e-Afrika," kwaye ufumane iindlela zokukhuthaza ukuthatha inxaxheba ngokukuko kwe-native primatology yase-Afrika kwibala lehlabathi le-primatology. Ngabathunywa abangama-250 kwabangama-312 abavela kumazwe angama-24 ahlukeneyo aseAfrika, i-APS ifezekise injongo yayo yokubonelela ngeqonga elifikelelekayo leengcali ze-primatologists zaseAfrika, ngakumbi ukusebenzisana, ukunxibelelana, kunye nokuxoxa ngemiceli mngeni kunye nemiba, ngokunjalo namathuba kunye nokwenzeka. izisombululo ezijamelene neembotyi zaseAfrika.

Ugqirha Rugunda uqaphele ukuba indawo ezikhuselweyo ezifakwe kwigazethi kunye namahlathi agubungela i-20% yomhlaba uphelele e-Uganda, waqaqambisa ukuba iinkokheli zase-Uganda zazizinikele kulondolozo, olubaluleke kakhulu xa kuthelekiswa neemfuno ezikhuphisanayo zabemi abakhulayo umhlaba kunye nemfuno yamandla. Izityalo nezityebi zaseUganda zibandakanya iipesenti ezingama-54 zeigorila ezisaseleyo emhlabeni; I-11% yeentaka ezirekhodiweyo zehlabathi zeentaka, zenza i-50% yeentaka zeentaka zaseAfrika; I-39% yeentlobo zezilwanyana ezanyisayo zaseAfrika; kwaye zili-1,249 XNUMX iintlobo zebhabhathane ezirekhodiweyo; phakathi kwezinye izinto zasendle.

Ngokudibanisa iinzame, wabulela i-UWA, ii-NGO zolondolozo, kunye nabaxhasi bamazwe aphesheya ngokukodwa ukuba inani lase-Uganda elalisoloko lincipha kwinani lentaba ze-gorilla libuyisiwe kwaye ngoku libonisa ukukhula okuhle. Nangona kunjalo, indawo abahlala kuyo isongelwa, nto leyo ekhomba ukuba kutheni le nkomfa ibaluleke kakhulu. Iimfene kunye neendawo zazo zokuhlala zisengozini yokugawulwa kwamahlathi, izifo, ukuzingela inyama yasendle, ukuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni kunye nongquzulwano lwezilwanyana zasendle. Ukukhula ngokukhawuleza kwabemi ikwayingxaki enkulu ejongene neendawo ezikhuselweyo zaseUganda, izilwanyana zasendle kunye neenyamakazi.

UKamuntu ugxininise ukubaluleka kokukhusela oononophala kulondolozo kunye nophuhliso oluzinzileyo, esithi kufanelekile kumzamo wamacandelo amaninzi. Uye waqaphela ukuba i-Uganda iyazingca ngokubamba inkomfa yesibini ye-APS.

UGqirha Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka, Usekela-Mongameli we-APS, uMseki kunye ne-CEO yoLondolozo ngezeMpilo yoLuntu kunye noSihlalo we-APS yeNkomfa ye-2019, banikezela ngesishwankathelo senkomfa kwaye babulela abanikeli kunye namaqabane ngenkxaso yabo ekwenzeni inkomfa ibekhona kwaye igcineke. apho iibhotile zamanzi zealuminium ezinokuphinda zisetyenziselwe endaweni yeebhotile zeplastiki kunye nekofu yoGcino lweGorilla evela kumafama ajikeleze iPaki yeSizwe yaseBwindi engenakuphumelela. Lo msitho uphinde wanqunyanyiswa zizolonwabo luluntu lwakwaBatwa ongumthonyama waseMahinga Gorilla National Park.

U-Kalema ubalule ukubaluleka kwale nkomfa ekuxhaseni i-African primatology kunye nolondolozo lwee-primates zase-Afrika, eqonda ukuba isinye kwisithathu seentlobo zee-primate zenzeka e-Afrika, ezinye zazo zisengozini okanye zisengozini. Ividiyo yenkomfa ye-APS 2019 nayo yadlalwa, ibalaselisa izoyikiso kwiinyama zaseUganda, ezineentlobo ezingaphezu kwe-15 zeebhokhwe.

U-Inza Kone, uMongameli we-APS kunye noMlawuli Jikelele we-Centre Suisse de Recherches Scientifiques e-Ivory Coast, unikezele ngemvelaphi emfutshane kunye nesishwankathelo se-APS. "Ukusukela ngo-2012, iingcali zenzululwazi ngezidalwa zokuqala zase-Afrika bezisebenza ukuseka iqela eliza kukhuthaza ukubandakanyeka kwabantu baseAfrika abasebenza kulondolozo lwamabamba kunye nophando, balungelelanise iinzame zeengcali ze-primatologists zase-Afrika, ukuphucula amava abo kunye nefuthe kwiindawo zabo ezahlukeneyo zomsebenzi. kunye nokomeleza impembelelo yezenzo zabo zolondolozo. ” Ezi nzame zakhokelela ekusekweni kweAfrican Primatological Society (APS) ngekaTshazimpunzi yowama-2016. I-APS yabamba indibano yokuvulwa kwayo eBingerville, eCôte d'Ivoire, ngoJulayi ka-2017.

Le nkomfa ikwangqinele uthotho lweengcaciso ezenziwa zii-primatologists kunye neengcali, kubandakanya uSam Mwandha, uMlawuli oLawulayo we-UWA, obeka ukubaluleka kwezilwanyana ezindala kuqoqosho lwase-Uganda ngokubonisa ukuba i-60% yengeniso ye-UWA ivela kukhenketho lwamabhongo. I-UWA ifumana malunga ne-60 yezigidigidi ze-UGX (ezilingana ne-16 yezigidi zeedola) minyaka le kukhenketho lwamabhongo.

Inkomfa ye-APS ibone ubungqina obuninzi obuvela kubaphandi kwiAfrika iphela bexoxa ngemeko yamabanjwa aseAfrika kuluhlu olubomvu lwe-IUCN kunye nemeko yeprimatology kwingingqi nganye ye-6 e-Afrika (eMpuma, eNtshona, eMzantsi, eMntla, kuMbindi weAfrika naseMadagascar) . Okulusizi kukuba, bekukho umxholo ofanayo oqhuba kwiingxoxo eziphathelene nommandla ngamnye, kunye neenkawu kwilizwekazi liphela zisengozini ngenxa yemisebenzi yabantu. Oku mhlawumbi kuseta indawo yengxoxo kusuku olulandelayo xa abathunywa bahlulahlulwe ngokwamaqela ngokuxhomekeke kwiindawo zabo zobungcali. Imixholo ephambili yosuku 2 ibandakanya uLondolozo noLawulo; I-ecology kunye nokuziphatha; Ukwahluka, iTaxonomy kunye noBume; I-ecology kunye nokuziphatha; kunye neMpilo, uKhenketho neMfundo. Kwakukho nocweyo olukhethekileyo lokuqhekeza isicwangciso sokwenza iRed Colobus, lelona qela lisesichengeni seenyamakazi eAfrika. Iinkawu iRed Colobus zithathwa njengezikwisilumkiso esiBomvu, zijamelene nengxaki yokutshabalala efuna inyathelo elingxamisekileyo, elijolise kulungelelwaniso. Iingcaciso ezikhuthazayo ngamanqanaba esele enziwe ekwakheni amandla eUganda kwi-primatology zinikwe zii-primatologists ezibalaseleyo ezivela e-UK, e-USA, nase-Japan, uNjingalwazi Vernon Reynolds, uGqirha Jessica Rothman, kunye noNjingalwazi Takeshi Furuichi.

UNjingalwazi uJonaah Ratsimbazafy, uxoxe ngokubakho kobunkokheli base-Afrika kwi-primatology ekubumbeni umgaqo-nkqubo wolondolozo kuzwelonke nakwingingqi. UGqr.Fabian Leendertz weZiko iRobert Koch lilandelwe ngengxoxo ngemicimbi yesifo sophando lwamabanjwa kunye neeprojekthi zolondolozo.

Ababekhona kule nkomfa yayinguNozakuzaku waseJapan eUganda, oHloniphekileyo uKazuaki Kameda kunye noSodolophu wase-Entebbe, u-His Worship uVincent de Paul Mayanja.

Abameli beBhodi yezoKhenketho eUganda, i-UWA, uLondolozo lwezeMpilo yoLuntu, iNkqubo yaMazwe ngaMazwe yoLondolozo lweGorilla, iZiko loLondolozo lwamaHlathi eTropiki, iiVolcanoes Safaris, iGreat Lakes Safaris, kunye neArcus Foundation bathathe inxaxheba kwingxoxo etafileni ejikelezayo malunga namathuba kunye nemiceli mngeni kuphuhliso oluzinzileyo. ngotyelelo lwe-primate ecotourism, egxile kumava e-Uganda.

Babelane ngezimvo zabo, bevuma ngokubanzi ukuba ukhenketho olukhulu lwenkawu lulonyusele uqoqosho lwase-Uganda, kodwa kufuneka lwenziwe ngokuzinzileyo nangelensi yolondolozo. Isindululo esithile besinxibe iimaski ngexesha lotyelelo kwigorila kunye neetshimpanzi eUganda ukunciphisa usulelo lwezifo phakathi kwabantu kunye neenkawu ezinkulu njengoko kumiselwe kwezinye iindawo ezinkulu zeenkawu eTanzania, eDRC naseIvory Coast. Kwakucetyiswa ukuba kuphuhliswe ukhenketho lwe-primate ngaphaya kweenkawu ezinkulu apho i-monkey yegolide kunye nokhenketho lweebhokhwe zasebusuku sele zibonisa amandla amakhulu e-Uganda kwaye ukhenketho lwe-primate e-Afrika kufuneka lukhokelwe sisicwangciso-qhinga sommandla.

Njengokuba le nkomfa yayisondela kwiiseshoni zayo zokugqibela, kwavunyelwana ngezi ndlela zongenelelo kunye nezibhengezo zilandelayo ze-2019:

- Kukho imfuneko yeenkqubo ezisekwe e-Afrika zokwakha ubunkokeli kunye nokuxhotyiswa.

-Kubalulekile ukomeleza ukudityaniswa kwengingqi kunye nehlabathi kwizifundo ze-primatologists zase-Afrika ukuze zilungele iimbasa kwihlabathi liphela.

- Ngokusebenzisana njenge-APS, kufuneka kwenziwe iinzame zokujonga kwakhona kunye nokuphumeza izicwangciso zomsebenzi ezicetywayo.

Indlela yamacandelo amaninzi kufuneka ibandakanyeke ekukhuthazeni iinzame zolondolozo kubandakanya oorhulumente, abahlali bendawo, icandelo labucala kunye nee-NGO.

Ugqirha Inza Kone uwuphelisile umsitho ngokubhengeza iAfrika njengePrimatological Capital kunye nokubhengeza ukuba inkomfa elandelayo ye-APS izakubanjelwa e-2021 eGabon.

Ulondolozo ngokusebenzisa iMpilo yoLuntu (i-CTPH) ikhokele ikomiti eququzelelayo ye-APS 2019, isebenza ngokusondeleyo neZiko iSuiss de Rescherches Scientifiques e-Ivory Coast, e-Uganda Wildlife Authority, e-Uganda kwiBhodi yezoKhenketho, e-Uganda Wildlife Education Centre, kwi-Ofisi yoMphathiswa wezoKhenketho, i-Wildlife ne-Antiquities, i-Makerere University IGunya leSizwe lamaHlathi, ukuXhotyiswa koLuntu oluHlanganisiweyo lwaseMaphandleni (i-IRUCE), iZiko lase-Afrika loKhuseleko loKutya kunye neNdalo (AIFE Uganda), Bwindi neMgahinga Trust, iChimpanzee Trust, iJane Goodall Institute, iBudongo Conservation Field Station, i-Institute of Primate Research eKenya, nezinye Amaqabane ee-NGO, Masihambe, uKhenketho eUganda, iTop yeAirtime yaMazwe ngaMazwe, iKofi yokuGcinwa kweGorilla, uKhuthaza iUganda, iminyhadala ye-PFT, kunye nexabiso lokudibanisa. Aba banikeli balandelayo baxhasa le nkomfa: Arcus Foundation, Margot Marsh Biodiversity Foundation, Houston Zoo, Ernest Kleinwort Charitable Trust, Solidaridad, San Diego Zoo, Primate Conservation Inc, Rare Species Fund, Zoo Victoria, Heidelberg Zoo, PASRES, kunye ne West African Primate Conservation. Intshukumo (WAPCA).

KwiNtlanganiso Jikelele yoNyaka ebibanjwe kwangoko emva kwenkomfa ye-APS 2019, uWako Ronald, uMgcini weeMpahla oMkhulu kwi-UWEC, waba ngowesibini e-Uganda ukuqeshwa kwiKomiti eLawulayo ye-APS apho aya kusebenza njengeGosa loKhathalelo kunye neGosa lokuZala.

Isazi ngezidalwa sokuqala, uGqirha Jane Goodall, uMseki weJane Goodall Institute kunye noMthunywa woXolo we-UN, wayegqame kakhulu phakathi kwabo bafumana amabhaso ngenkonzo ebalaseleyo ekwakheni amandla e-Afrika kuphando lwamabhongo kunye nolondolozo. U-Doyen oneminyaka engama-85 ubudala wezilwanyana ezinikezele ngaphezu kwesiqingatha senkulungwane kuphando lwe-primatology ufumene ibhaso kwisidlo sangokuhlwa sosuku lwe-2 ebibanjelwe e-Uganda Wildlife Education Centre e-Entebbe.

Nangona wayengekho ngokwasemzimbeni, uGqirha Goodall wayejoyine inkomfa kumsitho wokuvula kusuku oludlulileyo ngekhonkco yevidiyo. Uthethe ngeminyaka yakhe yokuqala efunda iitshimpanzi zeGombe National Park eTanzania. Kwakusezinsukwini zakhe zokuqala, emva kweenyanga zokufumana ii-chimps ukuba zamkele, uGqirha Jane Goodall wafumanisa ukuba iichimps zisebenzisa izixhobo. Kwakukade kucingwa ukuba ngabantu kuphela abakwaziyo ukusebenzisa izixhobo. Ukhumbule ukubethwa yindlela abantu abathanda ngayo iichimps ngeendlela ezininzi kwaye wathi "awunakubelana ngobomi bakho nasiphi na isilwanyana kwaye ungazi ukuba banobuntu."

Eminye imibhiyozo efumaneke ngexesha lenkomfa ibandakanya i-Best Oral Presentation eyanikezelwa ku-Ramanankirahina Rindrahatsarana ngentetho “yolawulo lwababhinqileyo, ukuzimanya kunye nobundlongondlongo kwii-lemurs zasentshona,” eyona Ngxelo iphezulu yanikezelwa kuJonathan A Musa ngepowusta yakhe ethi “Uqikelelo lwabemi belizwe Indawo Engcwele Yasendle yaseTiwai, eSierra Leone. ” Kwinkonzo ebalaseleyo yokwakha amandla eAfrika kuphando lwamabhongo kunye nolondolozo, la mawonga alandelayo anikezelwa:

-Njingalwazi uVernon Reynolds, uNjingalwazi wase-Emeritus weAnthropology kwiYunivesithi yaseOxford, e-UK
