Usuku lweValentine lwalo nyaka luphawulwe ngoLwesine ngencasa ekhethekileyo yaseAfrika ebone ukusungulwa kweNkongolo yeNdawo eKhuselweyo yaseAfrika (i-APAC) kwiNdawo yembali ye-Ivory Burning yaseNairobi. Unobhala oyiNtloko waseKenya – iSebe lezoKhenketho kunye neZilwanyana zaseNdle zaseKenya, uGqr Margaret Mwakima ephelekwa nguGqr.John Waithaka uMlawuli weNkongolo kunye noMnu. Luther Anukur uMlawuli weNgingqi, i-International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), iMpuma kunye ne-Afrika eseMazantsi yongamele ukusungulwa. .
Ibizwa ngokuba luthando lwendalo, ukusungulwa kwe-APAC ka-2019 kwafuna ukubeka iindawo ezikhuselweyo zase-Afrika ngaphakathi kweenjongo zoqoqosho kunye nentlalontle yoluntu kunye nokufuna ukuzibophelela koorhulumente base-Afrika ukudibanisa iindawo ezikhuselweyo kwi-ajenda ye-Ajenda ye-African Union 2063 yesicwangciso-qhinga sentlalo-ntle. inguqu kwezoqoqosho kwilizwekazi liphela.
“Namhlanje siphehlelela i-Africa Protected Areas Congress (APAC), indibano yokuqala kwilizwekazi lonke yeenkokeli zaseAfrika, abemi namaqela anomdla ukuze kuxoxwe ngendima yemimandla ekhuselweyo ekulondolozeni indalo nokukhuthaza uphuhliso oluzinzileyo. Eli qonga libalulekileyo neliququzelelwa yiKomishoni yeHlabathi yeeNdawo eziKhuselweyo (WCPA) kunye neManyano yaMazwe ngaMazwe yoLondolozo lweNdalo (IUCN) isinika iqonga lokubamba iingxoxo ezinyanisekileyo ngekamva esilifunayo kwimimandla yethu ekhuselweyo kwaye sifune izisombululo kwiindawo ezizingileyo neziqhubekayo. iingxaki ezivelayo” utshilo uNobhala oyiNtloko wezoKhenketho kunye neZilwanyana zasendle, uGqr Margaret Mwakima.
NgokweManyano yaMazwe ngaMazwe yoLondolozo lweNdalo, ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yama-20, kwakukho iindawo ezimbalwa kuphela ezikhuselweyo ezimalunga nama-200,000 ezigubungela malunga ne-14.6% yomhlaba wehlabathi kwaye malunga ne-2.8% yeelwandle. Njengoko ihlabathi liqhubela phambili ukukhula, uxinzelelo luyaqiniswa kwi-ikhosistim kunye nemithombo yendalo ngoko ke imfuno yokukhusela.
“Kufuneka sifikelele ekuqondeni okufanayo ukuba abantu bayakwazi ukuhlala nezilwanyana kwaye bakhathalelane ukusindisa izinto eziphilayo ezahlukeneyo. Njengelizwekazi, sinokunikezela ngokuqina, ukuguquguquka kunye nokujongana nokutshintsha kwemozulu ukukhusela i-biodiversity yethu, "wongezelela uGqr Mwakima.
Iindawo ezikhuselweyo zikhusela indalo nezibonelelo zenkcubeko, ziphucula iindlela zokuphila kwaye ziqhuba uphuhliso oluzinzileyo. Kufuneka sisebenzisane ukuze sizigcine. Uphehlelelo lwakhokela ulwazi kunye nokubonakala kwenkomfa ezayo eza kubanjwa ngomhla we-18 ukuya kowama-23 kweyeNkanga kulo nyaka. Imbasa yokuqala yeeNtatheli zeAPAC nayo yasungulwa ukuze inike inkuthazo kwiintatheli zaseAfrika kunye nezindlu zosasazo ukuba zibe ziintshatsheli zolondolozo kwaye ziqhube iinzame ezingakumbi zokunika ingxelo ngebhayoloji eAfrika, abaphumelele ibhaso lokuqala baya kubhengezwa, bawongwe ngexesha lenkomfa kaNovemba, izicelo. sele zivulelekile kwiintatheli.
Kulindeleke ukuba inkongolo kaNovemba itsale abathunywa abangaphezulu kwama-2,000 abaza kuxoxa ngeendlela zasekhaya zokukhusela ikamva elizinzileyo lemimandla ekhuselweyo yaseAfrika, abantu kunye nezityalo nezilwanyana ezohlukeneyo ngelixa ibonisa imizekelo yasekhaya yezisombululo ezisebenzayo, ezintsha, ezizinzileyo neziphindaphindekayo ezivisisanisa ulondolozo nophuhliso loluntu oluzinzileyo. .
Iinzame ezihlangeneyo ezivela kwiinkokeli zase-Afrika kulindeleke ukuba zibe negalelo kwi-Ajenda yowama-2063 yeManyano ye-Afrika “ye-Afrika ehlangeneyo, enempumelelo nenoxolo, eqhutywa ngabemi bayo kwaye emele umkhosi onamandla kwibala lezizwe ngezizwe”.
