Ibhodi yeTrasti yeUWA ikhokelwa nguSihlalo wayo uGqirha Panta Kasoma nayo ithathele ingqalelo impumelelo yayo iqale ngotyelelo phakathi kuJuni ukuya kumaphulo okwabelana ngengeniso yoluntu eBwindi Impenetrable Forest kunye neMt. Mgahinga National Parks ukuhlola impumelelo nemingeni ekuphumezeni. yeeprojekthi kunye neendawo zokuncokola malunga nothethathethwano olungcono.

Baphinde bandwendwela abasebenzi becandelo leRuhija eBwindi behlola imiba yentlalontle kwaye banxibelelana ngeendlela zokuphucula imeko yabo yokusebenza phambi kokuba bazivuze ngegorila. amava okulandelela kwicandelo laseBuhoma.  

Isigunyaziso se-UWA

"Ukugcina, ukuphuhlisa uqoqosho kunye nokulawula ngokuzinzileyo izilwanyana zasendle kunye neendawo ezikhuselweyo zaseUganda ngokubambisana noluntu olungabamelwane kunye nabanye abachaphazelekayo ukuze kuxhamle abantu baseUganda kunye noluntu lwehlabathi."

imbali     

I-Uganda Wildlife Authority yasekwa ngo-Agasti 1996 yi-Uganda Wildlife Statue (1996) eyadibanisa i-Uganda National Parks kunye neSebe leMidlalo.

impumelelo

Nangona uMphathiswa ohloniphekileyo ephose uvuthondaba nge-24 kaJuni, wayekho ukunika ingxelo ngembali ye-UWA kumsitho wokusungulwa kwemithombo yeendaba apho wathi iminyaka engama-25 edlulileyo ibone inguqu enkulu ukusukela oko kwasekwa iziko elitsha elikhokelela kukhuseleko olusebenzayo. kunye nokugcinwa kwezilwanyana zasendle eUganda. Ifumene imingeni efana nezibonelelo zemali ezinqongopheleyo, ukunqongophala kwemigaqo-nkqubo yamaziko, kunye nabasebenzi abadimazekileyo nababengahlawulwa ngokwaneleyo.

I-UWA iye yakha amaCandelo oLawulo aqinileyo, iziCwangciso zeQhinga, iziCwangciso zoLawulo lwePaka Jikelele, iNcwadana yezaBasebenzi, iManyuwali yeeNkqubo zeZimali, uMqulu weBhodi, iziCwangciso zokuSebenza zoNyaka, kunye neminye imigaqo-nkqubo yokusebenza neqhinga esele iphuhlisiwe kwaye iyaphunyezwa ukuqinisekisa ukusebenza ngokufanelekileyo kwe. iziko.

Amanani abasebenzi base-Uganda Wildlife aye akhula ukusuka ngaphantsi kwe-1,000 ngowe-1996 ukuya kutsho nje ngaphezu kwama-2,300. Ngokuqeshwa okucwangcisiweyo kwamagosa kule nyanga, inani kungekudala liza kudlula i-3,000. Lo mbutho wahlulwe wangamasebe ama-3 – angala, elokuthotyelwa komthetho, elezezimali kunye nokhenketho. Ezi ziye zandiswa ukuze zibandakanye ezomthetho, uphando, ubukrelekrele, iinkonzo zonyango lwezilwanyana, kunye nobunjineli, kunye nolondolozo loluntu olubonisa ukukhula kunye nokukwazi ukuziqhelanisa notshintsho kulawulo lwezilwanyana zasendle.

Esalatha kwimfuneko yokuthintela ukwanda kolwaphulo-mthetho lwezilwanyana zasendle oluya lusanda ehlabathini lonke yaye luntsonkothe ​​kakhulu yayikukumiselwa kwamacandelo akhethekileyo afana neCanine, ubuNhloli, uPhando noTshutshiso, amaCandelo aKhethekileyo oLwaphulo-mthetho lweZilwanyana zasendle, nenkundla ekhethekileyo yokusingatha ulwaphulo-mthetho lwezilwanyana zasendle.   

Oku kube nefuthe elibonakalayo ekulweni ulwaphulo-mthetho lwezilwanyana zasendle elizweni nto leyo eyenza ukuba i-UWA ihlonishwe kumaqonga ezizwe ngezizwe afana ne-CITES – iNkomfa yoRhwebo lwaMazwe ngaMazwe ngeZilwanyana eziseMngciphekweni wokuTshabalala.

Ungenelelo kwimimandla ekhuselweyo luthintelwe kakhulu ngokuphawulwa kwemida yazo zonke iindawo ezikhuselweyo nokwakhiwa kwezakhono zabasebenzi kwiindawo ezikhuselweyo ukuze kuthintelwe imisebenzi engekho mthethweni. Ngaphandle kwe-East Madi Wildlife Reserve kunye namanye amacandelo eNtaba i-Elgon National Park, zonke ezinye iindawo ezikhuselweyo zinemida ekhuselekileyo.   

Kubekho ukuphucuka okubonakalayo kweziseko ezingundoqo kuyo yonke ibhodi kuzo zonke iindawo ezikhuselweyo.

Ukusuka kwiofisi encinci yekomkhulu, i-UWA yafumana ikhaya elitsha kwiPlot 7 Kira Road kwaye yakha i-Wildlife Towers ephezulu kwindawo yokuqala. Kwiindawo ezikhuselweyo, i-UWA iye yakha inani lezakhiwo zee-ofisi kwakunye neeyunithi zabasebenzi ezingaphezu kwe-1,700.

Amanani abatyeleli kwiindawo ezikhuselweyo anyuke kakhulu ukusuka kwi-85,982 yabatyeleli ngo-1996 ukuya kuma-323,861 ngo-2019 ngaphambi kobhubhani we-COVID-19 obonisa ukonyuka kwabatyeleli abangama-237,879. Oku kukhokelele ekubeni ukhenketho lube ngoyena mntu ukhokelayo kwingeniso yemali yangaphandle kwaye lungenise, ngaphezulu kwe-US$1.5 yebhiliyoni ngonyaka kwaye lube negalelo le-9% yeGDP.

Icandelo lezokhenketho belikwaqeshe i-1.173 yezigidi zemisebenzi apho ama-670,000 ethe ngqo, ethatha isi-8% sengqesho iyonke elizweni. 

Ingeniso yemvume kwiipaki zelizwe inyuke kakhulu ukusuka kwi-UGX 345 yezigidi ngo-2006 ukuya kwi-UGX 4.2 yeebhiliyoni ngo-2019 ngaphambi kobhubhane.

Ngaphantsi kwe-Uganda Wildlife Act, i-Revenue Sharing Scheme ibonelela nge-20% yemali yokungena kwisango njengesibonelelo esinemiqathango ekwabelwana ngaso noluntu olungqonge iindawo ezikhuselweyo ezikhutshwa ngoorhulumente basekhaya. Le mali yenzelwe ukuqinisekisa ukuba uluntu luyayiva impembelelo entle yolondolozo lwendalo kwimimandla yalo ukuze luxhase ulondolozo lwezilwanyana zasendle. Iiprojekthi ezithile ziphuhliswa luluntu ngokwalo kwaye kwavunyelwana ne-UWA. Ngokulandelayo, uluntu lunegalelo kulondolozo lokunciphisa ungquzulwano lwezilwanyana zasendle zabantu ngaloo ndlela kudala imvisiswano.

I-UWA ibhalise ukwanda kwezilwanyana zasendle kuninzi lweentlobo zezilwanyana. Inani leegorila ezisezintabeni eBwindi Impenetrable National Park linyuke lisuka kuma-257 ngo-1994 laya kutsho kubantu abangama-459 ngo-2018.

Kwiintsuku nje ezimbalwa ukuya kowona msitho uphambili, i-UWA ifumene isipho esigqibeleleyo ngokuzalwa kwegorila esele ikhulile yasemazi egama linguBetina, ilungu losapho lakwaMukiza ulongezo olutsha olusekelwe eRuhija.

Inani leendlovu linyuke ukusuka malunga ne-1,900 ngo-1995 ukuya kubantu abangama-7,975 ngo-2020; iinyathi ukusuka kwi-18,000 ngowe-1995 ukuya ngaphezu kwama-44,000 ngowama-2020; kwaye inani lezindlulamthi lisuka kubantu abaqikelelwa kuma-250 ngo-1995 laya kutsho ngaphezu kwama-2,000 ngo-2020. Inani lamaqwarhashe aseBurchell liye landa ukusuka kuqikelelo lwama-3,200 ngo-1995 ukuya kwi-17,516 ngo-2020. inani labantu limi kubantu abangama-1995 ukusukela ngo-35.  

UMphathiswa obekekileyo ubalula ukwanda kwenani lezilwanyana zasendle ngenxa yendibaniselwano yezinto ezivela kwimigaqo-nkqubo efanelekileyo karhulumente, ulawulo olusebenzayo lwe-ecosystem, kunye nokuphuculwa kwamandla e-UWA ukubonelela ngokhuseleko kwizilwanyana zasendle kunye nokubandakanyeka koluntu kwimisebenzi yolondolozo lwezilwanyana zasendle.

I-UWA ineminyaka yomba ngaphezulu kwe-500 km yemisele ecaleni kwemida ekhethiweyo yepaki equka uQueen Elizabeth, iKibale, kunye neMurchison Falls National Parks Ukuze kuncitshiswe kwaye kuncitshiswe ungquzulwano lwezilwanyana zasendle. Ziimitha ezi-2 ububanzi nezi-2 zeemitha ubunzulu kwaye zisebenza kakuhle kwizilwanyana ezanyisayo ezinkulu. Ngaphezulu kwe-11,000 yezisele zeenyosi ziye zathengwa kwaye zasasazwa kumaqela ahlukeneyo oluntu. Iihives zifakwe ecaleni kwemida yendawo ekhuselweyo. “Isandi esihlabayo nesingxolayo seenyosi siyacaphukisa kwaye siyazoyikisa iindlovu ngelixa ubusi obuqokelelwe kwizisele buthengiswa ukuvelisa ingeniso kunye nokuphucula ubomi boluntu,: wongezelela uMwandah.

Kwakhiwa ilabhoratri yangoku yeBiosafety Level 2 eMmoya eQueen Elizabeth National Park. Ilabhoratri iyakwazi ukuxilonga kwaye iqinisekise uluhlu lwezifo zezilwanyana (zombini izilwanyana zasendle kunye nemfuyo) ukusuka kwintsholongwane, ibhaktiriya, ukungunda, kunye neprotozoa. Ilabhoratri inokujongana nophando lwezifo zabantu, nayo. Ilebhu yenqanaba elisezantsi leBiosafety yenqanaba loku-1 nayo yakhiwa eMurchison Falls National Park ukuxhasa ulawulo lwezifo zezilwanyana zasendle ngothintelo, ubhaqo. kunye nempendulo.

I-UWA inesakhono esiphuhlileyo sokuhambisa izilwanyana zasendle ngaphakathi nangaphandle kweendawo ezikhuselweyo, ifudusa izilwanyana zasendle ezingaphezu kwama-601 kule minyaka ili-10 idlulileyo, ingakumbi indlulamthi, i-impala, iqwarhashe, ihagu likaJackson, ihagu enkulu yasehlathini, i-eland, i-waterbuck, ingwenya, kunye topi, njl. njl. Iinjongo zisusela ekujonganeni neengxabano phakathi kwabantu nezilwanyana zasendle, ukufundisa ngolondolozo, ukwandiswa kweendidi, ukwahlukahlukana kweentlobo, ukhenketho, nolawulo lwebhayoloji yohlaza olunabileyo ngakumbi iAcacia hockii kunye nokuzala. Ngo-2020, izilwanyana ezifudusiweyo kuqikelelwa ukuba zande zaya kutsho ngaphezulu kwe-1,530 yabantu.

Uthini umbono wale minyaka ingama-25 izayo?

UButime ulumkisa ngelithi kule minyaka ingama-25 izayo “Noko ke, asifanele silibale imfuneko yokwenza okungakumbi ukulungisa ungquzulwano lwabantu bezilwanyana zasendle nokunciphisa iziganeko zokuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni ezisahleli zixhaphakile.”

Uhlaba ikhwelo kubo bonke abantu baseUganda kunye namaqabane olondolozo kunye nokhenketho ukuba akhuthaze kwaye athathe inxaxheba kwimisitho engentla apha ekubhiyozeleni le nkqubela enkulu yolondolozo lwezilwanyana zasendle yase-Uganda Wildlife Authority.

Ukulandela igala, uManejala wezoNxibelelwano e-UWA exakeke kakhulu, uHangi Bashir, uxelele eTurboNews: “Sifuna ukudibanisa iinzuzo zeminyaka engama-25 edlulileyo, ukulwa nongquzulwano lweZilwanyana Zasendle Zabantu, ukwamkelwa kobugcisa bale mihla kulondolozo lwendalo. Kutheni le nto kufuneka sibe ne-10,000 yabalindi endaweni yeekhamera zasendle? Ngoku sisebenzisa isisombululo seranger yomhlaba' sokubona ulwaphulo-mthetho ngexesha lokwenyani eMurchison Falls apho sibeka iliso kwipaki kwiscreen kwaye sibeke abalindi xa kukho isiganeko. Siza kwamkela iidrones kunye nemigibe yekhamera njengoko sisiya kwezinye iipaki. ”

Xa ecinezelwe ngumbhaleli wethu we-eTN ekusungulweni, uManejala wezoKhenketho noShishino uStephen Masaba uye wayeka ukuthintela ukusetyenziswa kweplastiki enye kwindawo ekhuselekileyo kodwa wagxininisa ukuba ukukhuselwa kwendalo kunye nobutyebi bendalo luxanduva lomntu wonke. Uthe i-UWA inezohlwayo eziqatha zokulahla inkunkuma kwiipaki ukuya kuthi ga kwi-UGX X 100,000 (malunga ne-US$30). Wongeze wathi: “Kwiminyaka engama-25 ezayo, i-UWA ifuna ukufumana iindwendwe ezisisigidi esi-1. Phambi kwe-COVID-19 besiba neendwendwe ezingama-325,000. Ukuphumeza oku siye safumanisa imfuneko yokubeka [kwi] iindawo zokulala zodidi oluphezulu, kwaye [siya] kuqhubeka nokubhengeza indawo yokuhlala efikelelekayo kunye neyobunewunewu, kwaye nokukhusela izibonelelo siya kuqinisekisa izenzo ezizinzileyo eziya kuqinisekisa ukuba izilwanyana zasendle kunye nemithombo yobutyebi iyagcinwa. sikhuselekile kwaye ukuba kukho nantoni na eyenzekayo, sifunde izifundo zethu kule minyaka mi-2 idlulileyo, kwaye siya kusebenzisa iindlela ezomeleleyo zokuqinisekisa ukuba asiqhubi nakuphi na ukubethwa kwimeko efana ne-COVID. ” 

“Ukusekwa kweepaki zelizwe laseUganda kwanconywa ngendlela ehlekisayo njengamahlakani olondolozo lwendalo awayengenakufane ayenze xa i-rinderpest kunye nesifo sokulala kwanyanzelela uluntu ukuba lutshabalale ngokulusizi kwaye luhambe. IiNgxangxasi zaseMurchison, eyona paki yesizwe inkulu eUganda (izikwekhilomitha ezingama-3,893 1978) kunye neQueen Elizabeth National Park (1952 Sq km) zasekwa ngowe-XNUMX.

"Unyaka ka-2006 wawungomnye umbhiyozo wokubhiyozela iminyaka eyi-100 ukususela kuhambo lokuqala lwezenzululwazi ukuya kwincopho ye-5109M Ruwenzori "iiNtaba zeNyanga" ezikhokelwa ngu-Italian Luigi Amedeo di Savoy, uDuke wase-Abruzzi. Oku kwakungokuphindaphinda ukunyuk’ intaba kwabantu baseUganda namaTaliyane abaphuma kwibutho leAlpine elibizwa “emanyathelweni etshawe.” Igqiza elikhokelwa ngulo mbhali egameni leBhodi yezoKhenketho yase-Uganda liye labonisa umnyhadala wekhulu leminyaka kwi-BIT Milan Expo ngoFebruwari ngaloo nyaka phambi kokunyuka kokugqibela ngoJuni.

“Okwangoku, i-UWA ilawula iipaki zelizwe ezili-10, iindawo zokugcina izilwanyana zasendle ezili-12, kunye nemimandla yezilwanyana zasendle ezi-5. Ikwabonelela ngesikhokelo kwiindawo ezili-14 ezigcina izilwanyana zasendle kwaye inoxanduva lokulawula izilwanyana ezingaphakathi nangaphandle kweendawo ezikhuselweyo.”

Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, amatsha ntliziyo axhaswa nguMbutho woLondolozo lwehlathi laseBugoma i-ACBF, iClimate Action Network Uganda, phakathi kwabanye baye bacela ukusekwa kwe-41,000 sq km yeBugoma Forest Central Reserve kwintshona ye-Uganda ukuba iphuculwe ibe yipaki yelizwe ukuyisindisa. Ukutshatyalaliswa okungafunekiyo ukususela ekubeni iHoima Sugar isebenza 'ukuhlaselwa kwehlathi ngokukhula kweswekile ukususela ekubeni ubukumkani baseBunyoro Kitara baqeshisa ngokuphikisana neekhilomitha ezingama-22 kumzi-mveliso kwi-2016.

IPian Upe Wildlife Reserve eseMpuma Uganda ikwacetyisiwe ukuba iphuculwe ibekwinqanaba lepaki yelizwe eya kuqinisekisa ukhuseleko olungcono kunye nolawulo phantsi kwemithombo kunye nobuchule be-UWA.

Kule minyaka ingama-25 izayo nangaphaya, akufuneki silibale ukubhiyozela kunye nokuqonda abagcini bezilwanyana abahlawule elona xabiso liphakamileyo lokukhusela izilwanyana zasendle kunye neendawo zokuhlala egameni lolondolozo, konke oko kujongwe zizoyikiso ezivela kwizinto zezilwanyana zasendle kodwa ikakhulu ezisuka kubuqu. -ukufuna abanye abantu.
