Na: Mark J. Spalding, Peresidena

Ua loaʻa iaʻu ka pōmaikaʻi nui e hoʻolilo i ka hapa mua o kēia pule ma kahi hālāwai kūikawā me kā mākou mau hoa ma ka māhele honua o ka US Fish and Wildlife Service. ʻO ka hālāwai, i hui pū ʻia e ka Hui o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, hoʻolauleʻa i nā hana e pale i nā ʻano neʻe o ka hemisphere komohana. Ua hōʻuluʻulu ʻia he iwakālua mau kānaka e pani ana i 6 mau ʻāina, 4 NGO, 2 US Cabinet Department, a me nā mea huna o 3 mau ʻaha kūkā honua. He lālā mākou a pau o ke kōmike hoʻokele o WHMSI, ka Western Hemisphere Migratory Species Initiative. Ua koho ʻia mākou e ko mākou mau hoa e kōkua i ke alakaʻi ʻana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka Initiative a mālama i ka kamaʻilio ʻana me nā mea kuleana ma waena o nā ʻaha kūkā. 

ʻO nā ʻāina a pau o ka Hemisphere Komohana i ka hoʻoilina olaola like ʻole, moʻomeheu a me ka hoʻokele waiwai - ma o kā mākou manu lele, kohola, ʻōpeʻapeʻa, nā honu kai, a me nā lele. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo WHMSI i ka makahiki 2003 e hoʻoikaika i ka launa pū ʻana e pili ana i ka pale ʻana i kēia mau ʻano mea e neʻe nei me ka nānā ʻole i nā palena politika ma nā ala ʻāina a me nā ʻano kino i hana ʻia i nā kenekulia. Pono ka pale ʻana i ka hui ʻana e ʻike nā lāhui i nā ʻano ʻokoʻa a kaʻana like i ka ʻike kūloko e pili ana i nā pono noho a me nā ʻano o nā ʻano i ka hele ʻana. I loko o ka hālāwai ʻelua lā, ua lohe mākou e pili ana i nā hana i loko o ka honua mai nā ʻelele mai Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, a me St. Lucia, a me ka CITES Secretariat, Convention on Migratory Species, USA, American Bird. Conservancy, The Inter-American Convention for the Protection and Conservation of Sea Turtles, and the Society for the Conservation and Study of Caribbean Birds.

Mai ka Arctic a hiki i Antarctica, nā iʻa, nā manu, nā mammals, nā honu kai, nā cetaceans, nā ʻōpeʻapeʻa, nā inike a me nā ʻano mea lele ʻē aʻe e hāʻawi i nā lawelawe kaiaola a me ka hoʻokele waiwai i kaʻana like ʻia e nā ʻāina a me nā poʻe o ka Hemisphere Komohana. He mau kumu meaʻai, ola a me nā leʻaleʻa, a he waiwai koʻikoʻi ko ka ʻepekema, ka waiwai, ka moʻomeheu, ka nani a me ka ʻuhane. ʻOiai ʻo kēia mau pōmaikaʻi, nui ka nui o nā mea hihiu lele e hoʻoweliweli ʻia e ka hoʻokele ʻole ʻana o ka pae ʻāina, ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana a me ka nalowale o ka noho ʻana, nā ʻano malihini invasive, ka pollution, ma luna o ka hahai holoholona a me ka lawaiʻa, ka hopu ʻana, nā hana iʻa ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻomau ʻia a me ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i ke kānāwai.

No kēia hui kōmike hoʻokele, ua hoʻohana nui mākou i ko mākou manawa ma ka hana ʻana i kahi pūʻulu kumu a me nā hana e pili ana no ka mālama ʻana i nā manu lele, ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻano hoihoi i ko mākou honua. He mau haneli mau ʻano ʻano lele i nā manawa like ʻole o ka makahiki. ʻO kēia mau neʻe ʻana he kumu kumu no nā kālā mākaʻikaʻi kūpono a me ka hoʻokele hoʻokele, ʻoiai ʻaʻole noho ka ʻano a he mea paʻakikī ke hoʻomaopopo i nā kaiāulu i ko lākou waiwai, a i ʻole ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i ka pale ʻana i nā ʻano ʻano noho kūpono.

Eia kekahi, aia nā pilikia e pili ana i ka hopena o ka hoʻomohala ʻole a me ke kālepa ʻana i nā ʻano meaʻai no ka meaʻai a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea ʻē aʻe. No ka laʻana, ua pūʻiwa wau i ka ʻike ʻana aia nā honu—o nā ʻano a pau—ma ka papa inoa o nā ʻano vertebrate e pau i ka pōʻino a puni ka honua. ʻO ke koi mua e hoʻolako i nā hale kūʻai holoholona ua hoʻololi ʻia e ke koi ʻana i nā honu wai maʻemaʻe i mea ʻono no ka ʻai ʻana o ke kanaka - e alakaʻi ana i ka pōʻino o ka heluna kanaka no laila ke noi ʻia nei nā hana ulia pōpilikia e pale aku i nā honu e ka US me ke kākoʻo o Kina i ka hālāwai aʻe. o na aoao i ka Ka Hui Kūʻai Kūʻai Kūʻai Kūʻai Kūʻē i nā ʻano ʻano Endangered (CITES) i Malaki. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, hiki ke hoʻokō nui ʻia ke koi ma muli o ka mālama pono ʻana i ke kūʻai ʻana i nā honu mahiʻai a hiki ke hāʻawi ʻia i nā heluna hihiu i ka manawa e ola hou ai me ka mālama ʻana i ka nohona a me ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka ʻohi.

No mākou i ka mālama kai, pili maoli ko mākou hoihoi i nā pono o nā holoholona kai—nā manu, nā manu kuhukukū, nā iʻa, a me nā mammals moana—e neʻe ana i ka ʻākau a me ka hema i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Ke neʻe nei ka Bluefin tuna mai ke Kaiwa o Mekiko kahi i hānau ai lākou a hiki i Kanada ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ko lākou ola. Hoʻoulu ʻia nā hui hui ma waho o ke kahakai o Belize a hoʻopuehu i nā wahi ʻē aʻe. I kēlā me kēia makahiki, hoʻi nā kaukani honu e hoʻi i ka home i nā kahakai pūnana ma ka Caribbean, ʻAkelanika, a me ka Pākīpika no ka hoʻomoe ʻana i kā lākou mau hua, a ma kahi o 8 mau pule ma hope mai, hana like kā lākou mau keiki hānai.

ʻO nā koholā hina i kēlā hoʻoilo ma Baja e hānai a hānau i kā lākou mau keiki e hoʻopau i ko lākou mau kauwela a hiki i ka ʻākau a hiki i Alaska, e neʻe ana ma kahakai o Kaleponi. Holo nā koholā polū e hānai i nā wai o Chile (ma kahi kapu Ua haʻaheo ka Ocean Foundation e kōkua i ka hoʻokumu ʻana), a hiki i Mexico a ma waho. Akā naʻe, ʻike liʻiliʻi mākou e pili ana i ka hana male a i ʻole nā ​​​​ʻāina hānau o kēia holoholona nui loa ma ka Honua.

Ma hope o ka hui ʻana o WHMSI 4 ma Miami, i mālama ʻia ma Dekemaba 2010, ua kūkulu mākou i kahi noiʻi e hoʻoholo ai i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi o ka ʻāpana kai, a ʻo ia hoʻi ka mea i ʻae iā mākou e kākau i kahi RFP no nā noi no kahi papahana haʻawina liʻiliʻi e hana i kēlā mau mea nui. . Ua hōʻike ʻia nā hopena o ka Survey i nā ʻano o nā ʻano ʻano neʻe a me nā wahi noho i hopohopo nui ʻia:

1. Liʻiliʻi Liʻiliʻi Māmā
2. Manō a me nā ʻanuʻu
3. Nā Māmā Moana Nui
4. ʻO nā ʻāʻanuʻu a me nā mangroves
5. Nā kahakai (me nā kahakai nesting)
   [NB: ua helu ʻia nā manu kuhukukū kiʻekiʻe loa, akā ua uhi ʻia ma lalo o nā kālā ʻē aʻe]

No laila, ma ka hālāwai o kēia pule ua kūkākūkā mākou, a ua koho ʻia no ke kālā hāʻawi kālā 5 o 37 mau manaʻo maikaʻi loa i kālele ʻia i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hiki ke hoʻoponopono maikaʻi i kēia mau mea nui ma o ka hoʻonui nui ʻana i kā lākou mālama.

ʻO nā mea hana ma kā mākou hui pū kekahi:

1. Ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā wahi i mālama ʻia i loko o nā palena ʻāina, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea e pono ai no ka hoʻoulu ʻana a me nā pilikia hānai
2. Ke hoʻohana nei i ka RAMSAR, CITES, World Heritage, a me nā hui aupuni palekana a me nā koho e kākoʻo i ka hui pū ʻana a me ka hoʻokō.
3. Kaʻana like ʻana i ka ʻikepili ʻepekema, ʻoi loa e pili ana i ka hiki ke hoʻololi koʻikoʻi i nā ʻano neʻe ma muli o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau.

No ke aha e hoʻololi ai ke aniau? ʻO nā ʻano migratory nā mea i hōʻeha ʻia i nā hopena i ʻike ʻia i kēia manawa o ko mākou hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau. Manaʻo nā kānaka ʻepekema ʻo ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kekahi mau pōʻai neʻe e like me ka lōʻihi o ka lā e like me ka wela. Hiki i kēia ke alakaʻi i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi no kekahi mau ʻano. No ka laʻana, ʻo ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana o ka pūnāwai i ka ʻākau, ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka mohala mua ʻana o nā mea kanu kākoʻo nui a no laila, ʻaʻohe mea e ʻai ai nā peʻapeʻa i ka manawa "maʻamau" mai ka hema, a ʻaʻole paha e ʻai kā lākou hua manu. ʻO ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana o ka pūnāwai mua ke ʻano o ka pili ʻana o ke kahe wai puna i ka meaʻai i loaʻa ma nā kahakai kahakai ma nā ala manu lele. ʻO nā ʻino hiki ʻole—e laʻa me nā puahiohio ma mua o ke kau "maʻamau" hiki ke puhi i nā manu i kahi mamao loa mai nā ala maʻamau a hoʻopaʻa paha iā lākou ma kahi ʻāina palekana. ʻO ka wela i hana ʻia e nā kūlanakauhale paʻa loa hiki ke hoʻololi i nā ʻano ua he mau kaukani mile ka mamao a pili i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā meaʻai a me nā wahi noho no nā ʻano mea lele. No nā holoholona moana e neʻe nei, hiki ke hoʻololi i ka kemika moana, ka mahana, a me ka hohonu i nā mea a pau mai nā hōʻailona hoʻokele, i ka lako meaʻai (e laʻa me ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā ʻano noho iʻa), a hiki i ke kūpaʻa ʻana i nā hanana ʻino. I ka huli ʻana, i ka hoʻololi ʻana o kēia mau holoholona, ​​pono e neʻe nā hana ecotourism i mea e mālama ai i ke kumu waiwai no ka pale ʻana i nā ʻano mea.

Ua kuhi hewa wau i ka haʻalele ʻana i ke keʻena no kekahi mau minuke i ke kakahiaka hope o ka hālāwai, a no laila, ua kapa ʻia au i luna o ke Komite Marine no WHMSI, a ʻo ia kaʻu i mahalo nui ai e lawelawe, ʻoiaʻiʻo. I ka makahiki aʻe, manaʻolana mākou e hoʻomohala i nā loina a me nā hana mua e like me nā mea i hōʻike ʻia e ka poʻe e hana ana i nā manu lele. ʻO kekahi o kēia mau mea ʻaʻohe kānalua e pili ana i ke aʻo ʻana e pili ana i nā ala e hiki ai iā mākou ke kākoʻo i nā ʻano like ʻole a me ka waihoʻoluʻu o nā ʻano mea lele e hilinaʻi nui ʻia i ka manaʻo maikaʻi o ko mākou lāhui kamaʻāina ma ka ʻākau a me ka hema e like me ko mākou makemake ponoʻī a me ko mākou kūpaʻa i kā lākou mālama. .

I ka hopena, hiki ke hoʻoponopono maikaʻi ʻia nā mea hoʻoweliweli i kēia manawa i ka holoholona hihiu inā hiki i nā mea kuleana koʻikoʻi i ko lākou ola ke hana pū ma ke ʻano he kuikahi hoʻolālā, kaʻana like ʻana i ka ʻike, nā ʻike, nā pilikia, a me nā hoʻonā. No kā mākou ʻaoʻao, ʻimi ʻo WHMSI e:

1. E kūkulu i ka mana o ka ʻāina e mālama a mālama i nā holoholona hihiu
2. E hoʻomaikaʻi i ke kamaʻilio hemispheric e pili ana i nā pilikia mālama o ka makemake like
3. E hoʻoikaika i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka ʻike e pono ai no ka hoʻoholo ʻana i ka ʻike
4. E hoʻolako i kahi hālāwai e hiki ai ke ʻike a hoʻoponopono ʻia nā pilikia e kū mai ana
