NgoSuku lweNdlovu yeHlabathi, i-African Wildlife Foundation (i-AWF) ifikelela kubathathi-nxaxheba, isebenzisana nee-NGOs kunye nabenzi bomgaqo-nkqubo ukukhanyisa ngemiceli mngeni ekhulayo yokuphila, ukhuseleko lokutya kunye nokuwa kwezoqoqosho kwiindawo zaseAfrika ezenza umsebenzi obalulekileyo wolondolozo lwezilwanyana zasendle. Izisongelo kulondolozo eAfrika, kubandakanya iindlovu, ziyanda ngenxa yeziphumo ezivela Covid-19. Ukunyuka kokuzingelwa kwabantu ngokungekho mthethweni eUganda ngumzekelo omhle. Phakathi kukaFebruwari noJuni walo nyaka, i-Uganda Wildlife Authority irekhodishe amatyala okuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni angama-367 kwilizwe liphela, ngaphezulu kokuphindwe kabini amatyala ayi-163 abhalwe ngexesha elifanayo ngo-2019.
Ukuncipha kwemali epakini echaphazele ukukhuselwa kwezilwanyana zasendle kubeka esichengeni iindlovu zaseAfrika. Izazinzulu zisafuna iimpendulo ezichanekileyo malunga nonobangela wokufa kweendlovu ezingaphezulu kwama-280 eBotswana phakathi kuka-Matshi noJulayi, 2020. Ngelixa oku kufa kwabantu bangazange babonwe kusenokwenzeka ukuba kubangelwa ziityhefu zendalo ezifumaneka kwindalo esingqongileyo, iSebe laseBotswana lezilwanyana zasendle kunye IiPaki zeSizwe zikhuphe ingxelo ngolwesiHlanu, Agasti 7, owashiya umnyango uvulelekile ukuba utyhefe ngezinye iindlela. Esi siganeko singaqhelekanga sibonisa ubu-ethe-ethe beentlobo zelitye lentloko ezivela kwizisongelo ezininzi (hayi nje ukuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni) kunye nokubaluleka kozinzo kunye nokuziphilisa okuzinzileyo kuluntu olunceda ukukhusela izilwanyana zasendle kunye nemihlaba yasendle.
Usekela-Mongameli we-African Wildlife Foundation we-Species Conservation and Science uPhilip Muruthi, PhD, uthe: “Uphando lokusweleka kweendlovu eBotswana luyaqhubeka. Siza kuqhubeka nokulandela inzululwazi kwaye siphendule xa unobangela wokufa uqinisekiswe ngokusemthethweni. Ngeli xesha, kule meko sikuyo ngoku, kufuneka siqwalasele ulondolozo lwe-situ, ngakumbi abahlali bendawo ababone ukuwa ngesiquphe kwimithombo yengeniso kunye neendlela zokuziphilisa ngokususwa kokuhamba kunye nokucinywa kukarhulumente. Oku kubangela ukungazinzi kunye nokungqubana kwezilwanyana zasendle kwilizwekazi liphela. Iminyaka elishumi yeenzuzo zolondolozo eAfrika ziya kuchithwa ngaphandle kokuba uluntu lwamanye amazwe lungenelele ukubonelela ngenkxaso mali. I-AWF isebenza ukugcina imizamo yethu yolondolozo lweendlovu enezinto ezininzi entshona, embindini, empuma nakumazantsi eAfrika. Ukugcina iinkqubo ezisekwe eluntwini kuqhubeka kubaluleke kakhulu ekugcineni indlovu ngoku nangaphaya kwengxaki ye-COVID-19. ”
I-AWF iphakamisa ulwazi ngoSuku lweNdlovu lweHlabathi ngeendawo ezikhuselweyo zezilwanyana zasendle kunye noluntu oludibeneyo oludinga kakhulu ngexesha le-COVID-19, kunye nokuhlaziya umnxeba wokunceda ukuphelisa urhwebo olungekho mthethweni lwendlovu. Imfuno eqhubekayo yendlovu yendlovu ngenxa yobuhle bayo kunye nokusetyenziswa kobugcisa kuye kwanciphisa ngokumangalisayo inani leendlovu kwilizwekazi laseAfrika, kukhawulezisa ukulahleka kohlobo oludlala indima ebalulekileyo ekugcineni indalo eyahlukeneyo yendalo.
UMuruthi uqhubeke wathi: “Silwa imfuno yophondo lwendlovu eAsia nakwihlabathi liphela, sifundisa abathengi ngexabiso lokwenyani leemveliso zeendlovu kwaye sisebenzisana noorhulumente ukuvala iimarike zendlovu. I-AWF ihlala iqabane nabaphembeleli kunye namanye amaqela ukutsala umdla ngakumbi kule micimbi ibalulekileyo. Ngexesha lobhubhane, urhwebo lwezilwanyana zasendle ngokungekho mthethweni okanye indlovu yendlovu ifumene ingqwalaselo engakumbi, kwaye loo nto sisilivere esingenakukwazi ukuyijonga. Ngaphandle kokuhamba kancinci kweenzame zokurhweba ngabantu ngokungekho mthethweni ngenxa ye-COVID-19, amaqela ethu okufumanisa kunye nokulwa nokuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni aye anceda ukubamba abazingeli kunye nabarhwebi; isoyikiso sihlala sikhona. ”
Kwi-2017, i-AWF iqhwabele izandla iTshayina ngokuthintela urhwebo lwendlovu yendlovu ngazo zonke iindlela. Uninzi lwalulindele ukuba oku kuzise utshintsho elwandle kwinani leendlovu zaseAfrika ezizingelwayo. Nangona kunjalo, iziphumo zokuvalwa azange zixelwe ngokubanzi kude kube li-2019 kwaye izifundo zibonise iziphumo ezixubeneyo. Ngelixa uninzi lwabathengi abahlala e-China beluxhasa ukuvalwa, abahambi baseTshayina abatyelele ezinye iindawo zaseAsia bakonyuse ukuthengwa kweendlovu, behambisa ukuthengisa kwiimarike kwezinye iilali zaseAsia.
Ngomhla we-26 kuCanzibe, i-CITES ikhuphe ingxelo ibhengeza ukuba i-China iqhubekile ngamanyathelo okuthintela ukungeniswa kwamabamba endlovu kunye neemveliso zawo. I-China National Forestry and Grassland Administration izakuqhubeka nokuthintela ngokungqongqo ukungeniswa kwamabamba endlovu kunye neemveliso zawo. Lo ngumzekelo wokulandelwa ngamanye amazwe akummandla, kwaye babenempembelelo engenakuphikiswa nebalulekileyo ekungeneni kokuthengiswa kweendlovu ezisemthethweni kwi-Asia Ephakathi.
Amazwe amaninzi aseAsia nakuMzantsi-mpuma Asia asenegalelo kurhwebo lwendlovu olungekho mthethweni. Ngaphambi kobhubhani wehlabathi, kuqikelelwa ukuba iindlovu zaseAfrika ezingama-35,000 19 zazisabulawa nyaka ngamnye ngenxa yendlovu yazo. Kwaye iindlela zorhwebo zeendlovu zendlovu zaseAfrika zisangena kubathengisi eAsia. Iziphumo ze-COVID-XNUMX ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo ziya kuwanyusa la manani sele engamkelekanga.
