Amaqela olondolozo namhlanje afake isimangalo ngokuchasene neSebe lezoThutho lase-Hawai'i ngokusilela ukujongana nokwenzakala kunye nokufa kweentlobo ezintathu zeentaka zaselwandle ezisengozini enkulu okubangelwa kukukhanya okuqaqambileyo kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya ezisebenza ngurhulumente kunye namachweba eKaua'i, Maui, naseLāna'. i.
I-Newell's shearwater luhlobo olusengozini, kwaye iipetrels zaseHawaii kunye ne-band-rumped storm petrels eHawai'i zizinto ezisengozini yokuphela. Ukungaphumeleli kweSebe lezoThutho ukukhusela ezi ntaka zolwandle zomthonyama kwimisebenzi eyingozi kwizibonelelo zayo kuphula umthetho we-Federal Endangered Species Act, ngokutsho kwesimangalo esifakwe nguHui Ho'omalu i Ka'Āina, iBhunga loLondolozo lweHawai'I, kunye neZiko leBiological Diversity. . Amaqela amelwe yinkampani yamagqwetha engenzi nzuzo i-Earthjustice.
Iintaka zolwandle zitsalwa zizibane eziqaqambileyo, ezifana nezo zikwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sesebe kunye nezixhobo zezibuko. Ezo zibonelelo ziphakathi kwemithombo emikhulu ebhaliweyo kwimeko yokwenzakala nokufa kwiintaka. Iintaka zaselwandle ziyaphazamiseka kwaye zijikeleze izibane de ziwe emhlabeni ngenxa yokudinwa okanye zintlithekele kwizakhiwo ezikufutshane.
EKaua'i, elikhaya kuninzi lwama-shearwater aseNewell asemngciphekweni ashiyekileyo emhlabeni, izibane eziqaqambileyo zibe negalelo elikhulu kwintlekele yokwehla ngepesenti ezingama-94 kubemi be-shearwater baseNewell ukusukela ngeminyaka yoo-1990s. Kwangaxeshanye, amanani epetrel aseHawaii eKaua’i aye ehla ngama-78 ekhulwini. Ukuzala kwentsalela yeentaka zaselwandle ezisemngciphekweni zibambelele ekusindeni eMaui naseLāna'i.
“Ookhokho bethu babexhomekeke kwi-'a'o (i-shearwater kaNewell), 'ua'u (ipetrel yaseHawaii) kunye ne-'akē'akē (ibhendi-igquma le storm-petrel) ukuze zincede ekufumaneni iintlanzi ezininzi, ukuhambahamba ukusuka kwesinye isiqithi ukuya kwesinye; nokwazi xa imozulu itshintsha,” watsho umlobi waseKaua'i, uJeff Chandler weHui Ho'omalu i Ka'Āina, esebenzela ukukhusela ubutyebi benkcubeko nendalo. “Sifake eli tyala kuba sonele ukuba iSebe lezoThutho lingahoyi kuleana (uxanduva) lokukhusela ezi zidalwa zibalulekileyo ngokwenkcubeko.”
UBrian Segee, igqwetha kwiZiko leBiological Diversity uthi: “Ukufa kabuhlungu kwezi ntaka zaselwandle zisengozini yokuphela kwakunokuthintelwa. “ISebe lezoThutho alinakuqhubeka liwutyeshela uMthetho weZilwanyana eziseMngciphekweni. Isebe kufuneka lenze okulungileyo ngezi ntaka zimangalisayo kwaye liphucule iimeko emhlabeni ukuze kupheliswe umonakalo wokwenene owenziwe ukutyhubela iminyaka zezi zibane ziqaqambileyo.”
Ngo-Okthobha ophelileyo, isebe laqhawula ngokukhawuleza iingxoxo kunye ne-arhente yezilwanyana zasendle kunye ne-state wildlife malunga nokuthatha inxaxheba kwisicwangciso sokulondoloza indawo yokuhlala esiqithini sokunciphisa kunye nokunciphisa umonakalo kwiintaka zolwandle ezinqabileyo eKaua'i.
UMarjorie Ziegler weBhunga lezoLondolozo laseHawaii uthi: “Kubuhlungu gqitha ukwazi ukuba ezi ntaka zaselwandle ziye zaba sengozini kangakanani na. “Ziyinxalenye ebalulekileyo yendalo yethu yesiqithi kunye nenkcubeko yaseHawaii. Siyathemba ukuba eli tyala liya kuthi ekugqibeleni likhuthaze urhulumente wethu ukuba athathe amanyathelo afanelekileyo okubakhusela. ”
Amaqela afuna ukunyanzela isebe ukuba lithobelane nezibophelelo zalo phantsi koMthetho weZilwanyana eziseMngciphekweni wokunciphisa kunye nokunciphisa umonakalo kwiintaka zolwandle ezisemngciphekweni ngokuqinisekisa ukhuseleko lwemvume yokuthatha ngokungalindelekanga imisebenzi yalo kuzo zozithathu iziqithi. Njengoko kufunwa nguMthetho, nge-15 kaJuni, amaqela abemi anikezela ngesaziso kwangethuba ngenjongo yawo yokumangalela.
“Ileta yethu yesaziso ibuyisele isebe kwiingxoxo malunga nokuthatha inxaxheba kwisicwangciso solondolozo lwendawo yokuhlala yesiqithi ngokubanzi eKaua'i,” utshilo uDavid Henkin, igqwetha le-Earthjustice elimele amaqela. “Sisiqalo esihle eso, kodwa ukuthetha nje kukodwa akuyi kwenza nto ukusindisa ezi zilwanyana zinqabileyo nezibalulekileyo ekutshatyalalisweni. Lixesha elidlulileyo lokuba isebe lithathe amanyathelo, hayi eKaua'i kuphela, kodwa kuyo yonke indawo kurhulumente ukuba imisebenzi yalo ibulala iintaka zaselwandle ngokungekho mthethweni. "
