Intlanganiso yeZizwe kwiveki ezayo eLyon ye-CITES iya kuqonda ukuba iJapan ibambeke kangakanani ekulungiseni imarike yasekhaya yeendlovu.
Umlinganiselo wemarike yendlovu yaseJapan mkhulu, kunye nokugcinwa kweetoni ezingama-244, kubandakanywa iitoni ezili-178 zamabamba abhalisiweyo kunye neetoni ezingama-66 zamaqhekeza asikiweyo axelwe ngabathengisi ababhalisiweyo, zenza i-89% yazo zonke iimpondo zendlovu e-Asia (275.3) iitoni) kunye ne-31% yezinto ezigciniweyo zehlabathi (iitoni ezingama-796), njengoko kubhengezwe kwi-CITES.
Intlanganiso yokuqala yobuqu ukusukela ngo-2019 yeNgqungquthela ye-UN kuRhwebo lwaMazwe ngaMazwe kwiiNdalo eziseMngciphekweni weZilwanyana kunye neeFlora (IISITHI) ivula ngoMvulo we-7 Matshi eLyon, eFransi.
I-CITES (iNgqungquthela yoRhwebo lwaMazwe ngaMazwe ngeZilwanyana eziseMngciphekweni weZilwanyana neeNtyatyambo zasendle) sisivumelwano samazwe ngamazwe phakathi koorhulumente. Injongo yayo kukuqinisekisa ukuba ukurhweba kumazwe ngamazwe ngemizekelo yezilwanyana zasendle kunye nezityalo akusongeli ukuphila kolu didi.
Ilayishiwe ajenda ngokuba 74thIKomiti eSisigxina iqulethe izinto ezingama-89 ezinxulumene nokukhuselwa kweentlobo ezingaphezu kwama-30 kunye nerhafu yezityalo nezilwanyana.
Uninzi lwababalaseleyo phakathi kwabo, njengesiqhelo, lu Iindlovu zaseAfrika, kuquka imiba ephathelele ukurhweba ngeendlovu eziphilayo, ukulawula ukugcinwa kweempondo zendlovu, nokuvalwa kweemarike zasekhaya zeendlovu.
Isindululo sokuvala iimarike zendlovu zasekhaya ezinegalelo ekuzingeleni ngaphandle kwemvume okanye kurhwebo olungekho mthethweni samkelwa yiCITES ngo-2016. Uninzi lwezizwe ezisathenga iimpondo zendlovu ziye zathatha amanyathelo okuphantse avale iimarike zawo ezingekho mthethweni.
Izizwe zibandakanya i-US, i-China, Hong Kong SAR yaseTshayina, i-UK, iManyano yaseYurophu, kunye neSingapore.
IJapan iseyeyona ntengiso ibalulekileyo eshiyekileyo yeempondo zendlovu.
IISITHI Isigqibo 18.117, eyamkelwa ngo-2019, yalela amazwe "angekazivali iimarike zawo zasekhaya ... ukuba anike ingxelo kwi-Ofisi kaNobhala ukuze iqwalaselwe yiKomiti eSisigxina ... ngawaphi amanyathelo abawathathayo ukuqinisekisa ukuba iimarike zabo zendlovu zasekhaya azifaki sandla ekuzingeleni okanye kurhwebo olungekho mthethweni" .
Ingxelo yaseJapan xa iphendula esi Sigqibo ithi “ibe iphumeza amanyathelo angqongqo ukuze iqinisekise ukuba imarike yeempondo zendlovu yasekhaya ayifaki sandla ekuzingeleni ngaphandle kwemvume okanye ekurhwebeni ngokungekho mthethweni.”
Kodwa entsha isifundo isuka e Japan Tiger kunye Elephant Fund (JTEF) ifumanisa ukuba loo manyathelo angqongqo awazange aphunyezwe.
Ngokophononongo, ubungakanani bemarike yendlovu yaseJapan inkulu, kunye nokugcinwa kweetoni ezingama-244 - i-89% yeempondo zendlovu e-Asia kunye ne-31% yempahla yehlabathi.
“Kangangeminyaka siye sabhala phantsi ukusilela kukaRhulumente waseJapan ukulawula ukurhweba ngeempondo zendlovu nokuthintela ukurhweba ngokungekho mthethweni nokuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe,” utsho umalathisi weJTEF uMasayuki Sakamoto.
"Akukho nto itshintshileyo."
Amalungu Umdibaniso weNdlovu yeAfrika (AEC), amazwe angama-32 aseAfrika azinikele ekukhuseleni iindlovu zaseAfrika, aye aphembelela iJapan ukuba ivale imarike yayo yamabamba endlovu kangangeminyaka. Abameli abavela koorhulumente baseBurkina Faso, eLiberia, eNiger naseSierra Leone, kwiileta eziya kwiRhuluneli yaseTokyo uYuriko Koike ngoMatshi ka-2021, babhala:
Ngokwembono yethu, ukukhusela iindlovu zethu ekurhwebeni ngeempondo zendlovu kubaluleke gqitha ukuba urhwebo lwamabamba endlovu eTokyo zivalwe, kushiyeke imida elinganiselweyo.”
Kwaye ngoku, ngokuvalwa kwelizwe jikelele kweemarike zasekhaya zeendlovu, i-CITES ibuyisela umva.
KwiKomiti eSisigxina Uxwebhu 39, i-Secretariat icebisa ukuba iKomiti eMisiweyo "imeme iNkomfa yamaQela (eya kuhlangana ngoNovemba) ukuba ivumelane ukuba Izigqibo ze-18.117 ukuya kwi-18.119 ziye zaphunyezwa ngokupheleleyo kwaye zinokucinywa."
Ilungu le-AEC iSenegal icela umngeni kwingxelo yaseJapan kwaye iphawula ukungavumelani kwayo nezindululo zikaNobhala kuxwebhu. Inf.18.
Abakhankasi abavela Uthando Franz Weber, i Isiseko sikaDavid Shepherd, I-Arhente yoPhando lweNdalo, kunye neJapan Tiger kunye neNgxowa-mali yeendlovu ziya kuba seLyon zikhuthaza amaqela e-CITES ukuba achase le ncomo ukuze avumele ingxelo ukuba iqhubeke, kwaye iya kuphinda ifune ukuba iJapan ivale imarike yeendlovu zayo.
