I-Indiya ifuna isiseko somkhosi e-Aldabra. I-Aldabra sisiqithi sesibini ngobukhulu ehlabathini. Indawo ichongwe njengoluhlu lweLifa leMveli le-UNESCO, oko kuthetha ukuba lixabiso eligqwesileyo, ukuhlangabezana neendlela ezingqingqwa ezibekwe yiarhente ekhethekileyo yeZizwe eziManyeneyo. Izalisekisa izikhokelo ezintathu zombutho - inezinto ezintle zendalo; ezihamba phambili kwiinkqubo zendalo kunye nezendalo; kunye neendawo zokuhlala zendalo ezibalulekileyo zokugcina iyantlukwano yendalo.
Enkosi kwindawo ekude kuLwandlekazi lwaseIndiya, iAldabra Atoll ihlala ingonakaliswanga yimpembelelo yabantu kwaye ibonelela ngomzekelo obalaseleyo wendalo yokuhlala apho iinkqubo zokuzivelela kwendalo kunye nezendalo zinokufundwa.
“Ezi ziqithi ziqhelekileyo akufuneki zenziwe amadini kwezomkhosi nakwezopolitiko. Nceda utyikitye uxwebhu lwezikhalazo kuRhulumente waseSeychelles naseUNESCO ukukhusela iAldabra Atoll ”utshilo owayesakuba nguMphathiswa Wezokhenketho e-Alain St. Ange.
Ikude kakhulu, i-Aldabra iphantse yafunyanwa ngabantu. I-Aldabra atoll isondele kunxweme lwase-Afrika i-630 km (390 mi) kune-Mahé, kwaye ikweyona ndawo isemazantsi ntshona eSeychelles. Yi-407 km (253 mi) emantla ntshona eMadagascar kunye ne-440 km (270 mi) ukusuka eMoroni kwiiComoro Islands. I-atoll yeyona korale iphakamileyo iphakamileyo emhlabeni kunye ne-8 yeemitha (26 ft); kunye ne-atoll yesibini ngobukhulu emhlabeni emva kweKiritimati Atoll.
I-ldabra Atoll eSychelles yiparadesi enqabileyo nenhle yetropiki. Ukubonwa ngaphezulu, iziqithi zeekorale zenza umsesane ophantse wavalwa onekhaya lokuxokozela iyantlukwano elwandle. Abalawuli abangenakuphikiswa besiqithi zezi amawaka amafudo amakhulu. Izazi zebhayoloji ziye zarekhodisha iindidi ezingama-400 zezidalwa kunye nezincinci, kubandakanya iintaka ezinje ngeAldabra drongo.
Isiqithi soNyuko simi malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-37 kumzantsi-ntshona. Ngomqolo wayo wokuhlala kunye nezakhiwo ezimbalwa, likhaya kwizazinzulu ekuphela kobukho obuqhubekayo babantu kwezi ziqithi. Ukuzihlukanisa kwabo kungekudala kunokuba yinto yexesha elidlulileyo, nangona kunjalo.
I-India ifuna ukwakha isiseko somkhosi kuQikelelo, kwaye urhulumente waseSeychelles uceba ukunqanda ulawulo lwesiqithi ukuya eIndiya kangangeminyaka engama-20. E-Indiya, i-atoll ayisiyiyo indawo eyahlukileyo yomhlaba, kodwa inokubaluleka kweqela eliphambili kwimbambano neChina.
Izendalo ziyothuswa yile nto: I-atoll ihleli ihleli kakuhle ngenxa yokuba ikwindawo ekude kunye nenani eliqingqiweyo labantu abavunyelweyo ukutyelela. Oko kungatshintsha ngokukhawuleza-kwaye kwimeko embi, isiqithi sinokuba yindawo yokulwa.
Abasebenzi bezokwakha kunye nabezomkhosi banokungenisa izilwanyana kunye nezityalo ezihlaselayo kwezi ziqithi ngeziphumo ezingalindelekanga kwindalo. Amajoni ayenokungcolisa isiqithi ngeplastiki kunye nenye inkunkuma. Iinqanawa kunye neenqwelo moya zaziza kubangela ingxolo kwaye zingcolise umoya. Ukuvuza kweoyile kunye neoyile kunokuwungcolisa umhlaba kunye namanzi- singasathethi ke malunga nokuchitheka okukhulu kweoyile.
Ezi ziqithi ziqhelekileyo akufuneki zibingelelwe kwimikhosi yezomkhosi nakwezopolitiko.
