Kanye njengokuba i-furore malunga nokuzingelwa kwendebe yekratshi egama linguSkye yaqala ukuthothisa, esinye isiganeko siqaqambise iindlela zokuziphatha zokuzingela kwii-Associated Private Nature Reserves (APNR) ecaleni kweKruger National Park.
Ngeli xesha ixhoba yayiyindlovu esencinci, yadutyulwa izihlandlo ezili-13 phambi kweendwendwe ezenzakeleyo eBalule, indawo yokugcina izinto ngaphakathi kwi-APNR. Emva kokudubula okokuqala, indlovu yaqala ukukhala kwaye ukukhala kwayo kwathuliswa kuphela kwi-12 emva koko.
Iindwendwe ezihlala eParsons Nature Reserve kufutshane nomda weMaseke Nature Reserve beziphumle kwiveranda xa abazingeli batshisa indlovu beyibona emva koko bayikhupha emva kweentente zabo zohambo ngasemva kwetrakhi. Umzingeli oqeqeshiweyo ophetheyo, uSean Nielsen, wathi indlovu 'yadutyulwa ukuzikhusela'.
Nangona kunjalo, amangqina asixhenxe athi indlovu yayimi malunga ne-80 yeemitha kude nabazingeli xa kudutyulwa okokuqala, emva koko yabalekela ehlathini, ixilongo ngokulusizi, ilandelwa ngabazingeli abaqhubeka nokudubula.
Iindwendwe zathi indlovu ibonakala ingumntwana. Ubunzima beTusk kunye nobukhulu bemilinganiselo kusafuneka kugqitywe kodwa, ngokutsho kwesilarha sendawo apho yathathwa khona, yavelisa iitoni zenyama eyi-1.8 kuphela, ngelixa indlovu endala ivelisa phakathi kwe-2.2 kunye ne-2.7 yeetoni.
Ngokutsho kukasihlalo we-Balule uSharon Haussmann, ukuzingelwa okwenziwe nguNielsen - umqeshi wexesha elide waseMaseke Game Reserve - wayeneemvume ezichanekileyo, kodwa wathi kubonakala ngathi esi sehlo “khange sihambelane nemodeli yokusetyenziswa okuzinzileyo ngokuhambelana nomgaqo wokuzingela olawula yonke imithombo yolondolozo ngaphakathi kweAPNR nalapho iBalule kwaye ke ngoko ibophelelwe nguMaseke. ” Kusungulwe uphando olupheleleyo.
U-Haussmann usibhale esi sehlo njengesi “gwenxa kwaphela kwaye engacingeli kwaphela kwaye eyihlazo kakhulu kuBalule”. Uye wathi ingxelo yokuqala evela kwiqela lokuzingela malunga nesi siganeko ayonelisi.
“Bakhuphe ingxelo ebendingonwabanga kwaye ndayithumela ngemibuzo ndicela iinkcukacha ezithe vetshe kunye notyelelo lwesiza. Aziyi-100% ezayo, kodwa sineendlela zokujongana noko. ” Xa befika kuye, uNielsen wala ukuphendula.
Eli lixesha lesibini lokuba uBalule abe kwindawo ephambili ekuzingeleni iindlovu. Nge-Agasti yalo nyaka, umphathi wommandla UFrikkie Kotze wagwetywa ngokuqhuba ukuzingela ngokungekho semthethweni kwindawo yokugcina izilwanyana kunye nokusweleka kwendlovu egama linguGeorge.
Ukulandela isimangalo esinetyala sikaKotze, wahlawuliswa i-R50 000 okanye iminyaka emihlanu entolongweni, omabini la mathuba anqunyanyiswayo iminyaka emihlanu. U-Haussmann uthe amalungelo okuzingela ka-Kotze kwi-APNR anqunyanyisiwe ngo-2018, kodwa azakuphononongwa emva kwetyala lenkundla.
UMark de Wet, olilungu lekomiti yesigqeba nomnye wabaseki beCustodians of Professional Hunting and Conservation - South Africa (CPHC-SA), uthi iinkqubo zokuziphatha gwenxa azifanelekanga. “Umele ukuba uyazi kakuhle into oba kuyo xa uzingela kwezo ndawo [i-APNR]. Isohlwayo sezenzo ezingekho mthethweni kwiAPNR kufuneka sibe rhabaxa ngokwaneleyo ukuthintela nokudimaza abo benza izinto ngokungekho mthethweni nangokungaziphathi kakuhle. ”
Ukuzingela kwendlovu encinci kutsha nje kubalaselisa ukungqubana phakathi kokuzingela kunye nokufotwa kwesafaris esebenza kumhlaba omnye kwi-APNR, edibana neKruger ngaphandle kocingo olungenelelayo.
UAudrey Delsink, Umlawuli wezilwanyana zasendle we-Humane Society International (i-HSI) Afrika uthi umbutho ukhathazeke kakhulu malunga neziganeko eziye zavela ngokubhekisele kwizitenxo zokuzingela, ukungathobeli kunye nezenzo ezingekho mthethweni kwii-APNRs zamva nje.
“Ukudutyulwa okuyikrwada kwenkunzi yenkomo yaseMaseke phambi kwabakhenkethi kufanele kube kukuvusa ixesha elide kwiziphumo zokuzingela iindebe kukhenketho loMzantsi Afrika,” utshilo.
U-Haussmann uthi ukwaphula imigaqo ye-APNR yokuzingela bekunzima ukuyilawula kuba ayenzi sibonelelo sokuziphatha gwenxa, nangona ibisekwe kwimbono 'yokuzingela okusesikweni nokuzinzileyo.'
“Yinto ekuzofuneka sixoxe kuyo yonke le APNR, utshilo,“ njengoko ichaphazela bonke oovimba babucala abakummandla weGreater Kruger. Inkqubo yokuzingela ye-APNR isekelwe ekuzingeleni okusesikweni kwaye oku [ukuzingela] akukho mikhwa esesikweni. ”
Uye wathi, ukuya phambili, ulawulo oluqinileyo luya kwenziwa ngexesha lokuzingela, kodwa akakwazanga ukucacisa ukuba wayethetha ukuthini ngaloo nto.
Kwixesha elidlulileyo, iKruger National Park Unayo isoyikiswa ngokuvuselela iingcingo ngenxa yolawulo olubi koovimba beAPNR. Ngokutsho kukaGlenn Phillips, umphathi olawulayo wePaki yeSizwe yaseKruger, “kuthatha umntu omnye okanye umbutho omnye ukuze kungcoliswe igama labo.
"I-KNP ayizukukwamkela ukungaziphathi kakuhle, ukungazinzisi okanye ukonakalisa umhlaba wolondolozo," utshilo, kwaye iSANParks "ilindele ngokugqibeleleyo ukugqitywa kophando [lweBalule]".
Amanqaku angakumbi ngeKruger National Park.
