Ukuzingelwa kweBushmeat kusongela ukhenketho kwi-Okavango Delta yaseBotswana

Isoyikiso esiziswa kukuzingela inyama yenyama ngokungekho mthethweni kushishino lwezokhenketho lwe-Okavango Delta eBotswana sivelisiwe ingxelo epapashwe kutshanje. Izwe laseBotswana alidibaniswanga namazinga aphezulu okuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni, nangona kunjalo ingxelo ifumanisa ukuba ukuzingela inyama ngokungekho semthethweni kuyenzeka kwizinga elibalulekileyo eDelta, "ubuninzi benyama yenyama etyholwayo exelwe ngabazingeli abathile icacisa ubukho bento ehleliweyo yorhwebo ushishino, olunamandla okuvuna, ukuthutha nokulahla imithamo ebalulekileyo. ”

Phantse i-1,800 yabazingeli ngokungekho mthethweni kuqikelelwa ukuba ngamnye uvuna i-320kg yenyama yonyaka ngonyaka, ephakamisa inkxalabo yokuba urhwebo lwentengiso ye-bushmeat inokuba linyathelo lokuqala elibhekise kumanyano olwaphulo-mthetho lwezilwanyana zasendle olucwangciswe ngakumbi olujolise kwiingonyama, imikhombe neendlovu. Le ngxelo ikwatsho ngendlela eyothusayo ukuba, “abantu lelona rhamncwa libalaseleyo kule ntlambo,” kwaye, "isivuno esiqokelelweyo esenziwe ngabantu kunye namanye amarhamncwa kunokwenzeka ukuba lingaphezulu kwenani lokukhula kwabemi beentlobo ezininzi zabantu abangahlaliyo kule ntlambo."

Ukuba oku kunokwenzeka, ayisiyiyo kuphela impilo yabantu basendle kodwa ishishini lokhenketho elinokuba semngciphekweni. Ingqonyela ye-Great Plains kunye ne-National Geographic Explorer, u-Derreck Joubert uthi, “I-Bushmeat ngesixa esincinci ibonwa 'njengokuzingela nje iziyobisi' kodwa inefuthe elikhulu. Xa abazingeli abangekho emthethweni bengena kwiipaka zethu nakubantu abagcinelwe inyama ingakumbi badla ngokujolisa kumarhamncwa kuba kulula nokuyisebenzisa. ”

Ingxelo ithi: “Ukhuphiswano oluphakathi kwabantu nezinye izilwanyana ezidla izilwanyana ezincitshisiweyo kunciphisa amandla endalo okuthwala izidlo ezinkulu,” yatsho le ngxelo, “Ukudityaniswa kwenyama engekho mthethweni yokuthwebula inyamakazi. ukuhla kwemimandla ethile kunye neentlobo ezithile, ”utshilo uKai Collins, Umphathi woLondolozo lweQela leWilderness Safaris.

Ngokubaluleka kwezilwanyana zasendle kukhenketho olunexabiso eliphezulu kule ndawo, isiphumo soko sinokubakho kushishino lokhenketho kulo mmandla luyabonakala. “Yonke inkqubo yokhenketho lwe-eco-savanna ixhomekeke kwiingonyama, iindlovu kunye nemikhombe ukuya kwinqanaba. Xa ezo zilwanyana zikhulu, ngakumbi amarhamncwa, zinyamalala, umlingo wendlela yase-Afrika uyancipha kwaye ungaphela. Ngubani oza kusindisa aze eze kwi-safari yase-Afrika esazi ukuba abanamathuba okubonana namarhamncwa okanye iindlovu? Ke imodeli iya kuncipha ngokukhawuleza nangokumangalisayo. Xa oko kusenzeka elinye ishishini lengeniso (ukhenketho) luyehla, luphose abantu abaninzi emisebenzini nakurhwebo lwenyama yamahlathi, ”utshilo uJoubert.

UCharl Badenhorst, uMlawuli wezoMsebenzi weSanctuary Retreats eBotswana, uphinda amazwi athi, “I-Okavango Delta iseyenye yezona ntlango zihlambulukileyo nezingafunekiyo emhlabeni ... ukuthembeka kwenkqubo yeOkavango Delta. ”

Umzi mveliso wezokhenketho eBotswana uxakekile ekuboneleleni ngezinye iindlela zokuziphilisa kuluntu kugxilwe kakhulu kukhetho olunxulumene nokhenketho lwezendalo. La mashishini makhulu ezorhwebo eBotswana anoxanduva lokuqesha abasebenzi abasuka kuluntu kwaye axhase abahlali ngohlobo lweerhafu, iirhafu, okanye ukuqeshisa, kwaye ukhenketho olusekelwe kwizilwanyana zasendle ludlale indima ebalulekileyo kuhlumo lwelizwe kule minyaka ingama-30 idlulileyo, kudala Imisebenzi engama-70,000 kunye negalelo phantse kwi-10% ye-GDP yaseBotswana. Kodwa le ngxelo ithi, “amaxesha amaninzi iinzuzo zemali zokhenketho olusekelwe kwizilwanyana zasendle azifikeleli kuluntu oluhlwempuzekileyo kufutshane okanye kwiindawo ezikhuselweyo.”

Ukuphendula koku, uBadenhorst, uthi, “Enye yeendlela iSanctuary Retreats inceda ngayo ekulweni oku kukwenza ulwazi oluphangaleleyo ngemfundo malunga nefuthe lokuzingela inyama ngehlathi kubuchule bokhenketho lweendawo zabo. Ngelixa sizinikele koku, ubunini noxanduva luye phezu kwaba bathathi zigqibo kuluntu, okwenza ukuba kubaluleke ukufikelela kwaba bantu. Sibe nethamsanqa nolunye loluntu esisebenza nalo ngokusondeleyo, inkokheli enye yabahlali isithi, 'ezo zilwanyana ziyidayimani zethu', okuthetha ukuba kufuneka zigcinwe ukuze kutsalwe ukhenketho kule ndawo. Olu hlobo lokwazisa kufuneka lukhuthazwe kwaye lukhuthazwe ngokungxamisekileyo nangakumbi ngokubambisana noluntu, abachaphazelekayo, abezokhenketho kunye norhulumente kuwo onke amanqanaba kurhwebo lwenyama yehlathi ukuze lunqandwe ngokufanelekileyo ekuhambeni kwexesha. ”

Inyani yokuba le ngxelo sele ikho ibonakalisa amanqanaba abalulekileyo entsebenziswano phakathi kukarhulumente, icandelo lezokhenketho, uluntu kunye nososayensi, kodwa ukuba olu hlobo lokuzingela luyekiwe lungaqwalaselwa le meko inokutshintsha ngokukhawuleza, ishiye inani labantu abonzakeleyo emva kwayo, kubandakanya ishishini lokhenketho. Kuthathelwa ingqalelo into abanokuyikhulula, umbuzo kufuneka ubuzwe: Ngaba abathathi-nxaxheba kwezokhenketho ngenene benza ngokwaneleyo ukufumana izisombululo ekudlaleni indima eyoneleyo ekulweni nokuzingela ngaphandle kwemvume?
