“Ingxelo entsha kufuneka itsale ingqalelo yeendlovu zehlathi. Zibonakala kancinci kwaye zibekwa lula kuneendlovu ze-savanna, zihlala zingahoywa ngoorhulumente kunye nabaxhasi, utshilo uKathleen Gobush, umhloli ophambili weendlovu zaseAfrika. "Iimfuno zabo zigutyungelwe ngabo babazala babo abakhulu njengezinto ezisengozini nezisengozini yokuphela," utshilo uKathleen.
Esebenzisa idatha eqala kwiminyaka yama-1960 yeendlovu ze-savanna kunye neye-1970 yeendlovu zehlathi, uGobush kunye noogxa bakhe bakha imodeli yeenkcukacha-manani zokuqikelela ukunciphisa abantu ngokuhamba kwexesha.
Iindlovu zezinye zezona ntlobo zifunwa kakhulu ngabantu abathengisa izilwanyana zasendle. Ukuze kumiselwe inqanaba lomngcipheko, iingcali ze-IUCN ziye zavuma ukuba iindlovu zaseAfrika ngenene zahlelwa kwiintlobo ezimbini. Indlovu eyi-savanna inkulu, inamabamba agobileyo, kwaye izula kumathafa avulekileyo e-Afrika esemaZantsi eSahara ngelixa indlovu yehlathi incinci kwaye imnyama, inamabamba athe nkqo, kwaye ihlala kumahlathi eikhweyitha akuMbindi naseNtshona Afrika.
UMlawuli weentlobo zezilwanyana zase-Afrika kwi-World Wildlife Fund (WWF), u-Bas Huijbregts, uthe ifuthe elilungileyo lokulondolozwa kwehlathi kunye neendlovu ze-savanna kwiindidi ezahlukileyo alinakugqithwa. "Imiceli mngeni kuzo zombini ezi ntlobo zahlukile kakhulu, njengoko kunjalo neendlela zokubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo," utshilo.
Inani leendlovu ezihlathini liye lehla ngama-86 eepesenti kule minyaka ingama-31 idlulileyo ngelixa eye-savanna elephants iye yehla ngeepesenti ezingama-60 kule minyaka ingama-50 idlulileyo, ngokutsho kwe-IUCN, eyathi zombini ezi ntlobo zinabemi bazo abaqikelelwa kuma-415,000 Ukubandezeleka okuthe kratya ukusukela ngo-2008 ngenxa yokonyuka okubonakalayo kokuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni okwenyuka ngo-2011.
Ukuqhubeka indlovu ngenxa yobuhle bayo kunye nokusetyenziswa kobugcisa kuye kwanciphisa kakhulu inani leendlovu kwilizwekazi lase-Afrika, kukhawulezisa ukulahleka kweentlobo zamatye aphambili adlala indima ebalulekileyo ekugcineni indalo eyahlukeneyo yendalo.
Isivumelwano samazwe amaninzi sokukhusela izityalo ezisengozini kunye nezilwanyana (i-CITES) zavala urhwebo lwamazwe ngamazwe lwendlovu ngo-1989, kodwa ayingawo onke amazwe athe abambelela kwiNgqungquthela, kwaye kwabakho iincopho kunye neentlambo kwintengiso yeendlovu kule minyaka ingamashumi amathathu idlulileyo.
Amazwe amaninzi aseAsia nakuMzantsi-mpuma Asia asenegalelo kurhwebo lwendlovu olungekho mthethweni. Phambi kwesibetho se-COVID-19 sehlabathi, kuqikelelwa ukuba iindlovu zaseAfrika ezingama-20,000 XNUMX zazisabulawa minyaka le ngenxa yendlovu, kwaye iindlela zorhwebo lwendlovu zaseAfrika zisahamba ziye kubathengisi eAsia, kodwa kwiminyaka yakutshanje, iChina iyonyusile iinzame zokunqanda urhwebo lwendlovu.
"Ukwakha inani leendlovu kufuna ukukhusela indawo yokuhlala kunye nokuqhubeka nokubamba ngokungekho mthethweni ukuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni kunye nokuthutyeleziswa kweendlovu," utshilo uScott Schlossberg, umhlalutyi weenkcukacha kwiNdlovu engenamida, iBotswana esekwe ekukhuseleni izilwanyana zasendle ezingekho phantsi kukarhulumente (NGO).
"Siyasixhasa isigqibo se-IUCN ngeli xesha lokuhlaziya indlovu yehlathi lase-Afrika ukuba lisemngciphekweni omkhulu kwaye indlovu ye-savanna isengozini, kwaye sikholelwa ukuba ilandela imigaqo-nkqubo ngokuhambelana nenkqubo yabo yokufakwa kuluhlu olubomvu," utshilo uGqirha Philip Muruthi, usekela Mongameli weAfrika Wildlife Foundation (AWF) ophetheyo ngolondolozo lwendalo kunye nesayensi.
Uvavanyo lwe-IUCN lukwaphawule ukuba kukho iinkqubo zolondolozo eziyimpumelelo eGabon naseCongo-Brazzaville zeendlovu zehlathi kunye ne-Okavango-Zambezi Trans umda wolondolozo lwendalo ye-savanna.
UBruno Oberle, uMlawuli-Jikelele we-IUCN uthe kwingxelo yoonondaba ukuba oku kungqina ukwehla kwendlovu kunokubuyiselwa umva. "Kufuneka sisebenzisane ukuqinisekisa ukuba umzekelo wabo unokulandelwa," watsho.
IUCN ixhomekeke kwizinto ezahlukeneyo ukumisela imeko yolondolozo lwesilwanyana, njengobungakanani bamanani kunye neendawo ezinciphileyo.
Izilwanyana zasendle zikhokelela kubakhenkethi kunye nomthombo wengeniso yabakhenkethi eAfrika. Indlovu inikezela ngokukhethekileyo iifoto zohambo ezitsala izigidi zabakhenkethi ikakhulu abavela eYurophu naseMelika batyelele indawo ezikhuselweyo zezilwanyana zasendle eAfrika.
