Shark ndi Rays kwa Masiku 31

Wojambula Jen Richards, wakhala akukhudzidwa kwambiri ndi zamoyo zam'madzi kwa nthawi yayitali kuyambira pomwe akukumbukira. Mwamwayi, tinali ndi mwayi womufunsa mafunso ndi kukambirana za ntchito yake yaposachedwa komanso yomwe ikupitilira, Shark ndi Rays kwa Masiku 31. Jen adadzikakamiza kuti awonetse mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya shaki kapena ray tsiku lililonse mwezi wa Julayi kuti apeze ndalama zothandizira kuteteza. Iye adzakhala malonda kuchotsa zaluso zapaderazi ndikupereka ndalama zonse ku imodzi mwama projekiti omwe timakonda, Shark Advocates International. 

Tiyeni tiyambe ndi luso lanu. Munayamba liti kukhala ndi chidwi ndi zaluso? Ndipo n’chifukwa chiyani mumayang’ana kwambiri nyama zakutchire, makamaka za m’madzi?

Zikumveka ngati cliche, koma ndakhala ndi chidwi ndi zaluso kuyambira ndikukumbukira! Zina mwazokumbukira zanga zakale kwambiri zimaphatikizapo kujambula ma dinosaur pa chilichonse chomwe ndingapeze. Ndakhala ndikuchita chidwi kwambiri ndi chilengedwe, motero ndikamaphunzira zambiri za nyama m'pamenenso ndimalakalaka kuzijambula. Ndinali ndi zaka zisanu ndi zitatu pamene ndinawona orca kwa nthawi yoyamba ndipo anali onse omwe ndimatha kujambula kwa zaka pambuyo pake - pepani, ma dinosaurs! Ndinangokhala ndi chidwi chokhudza nyama moti ndinkafuna kuzijambula kuti ndiwonetse anthu ena; Ndinkafuna kuti wina aliyense awone momwe iwo analili odabwitsa.

Kodi kudzoza kwanu mumapeza kuti? Kodi muli ndi sing'anga yomwe mumakonda?

Ndimalimbikitsidwa nthawi zonse ndi nyama zomwezo - kotero kuti pali masiku omwe sindingathe kudziwa zomwe ndikufuna kupenta kaye. Kuyambira ndili wamng'ono ndakhala ndikuyang'ana mwachidwi chilichonse ndi chirichonse kuchokera ku BBC Natural History Unit, zomwe zinandithandiza kuwona zamoyo zosiyanasiyana zamitundu yosiyanasiyana padziko lonse lapansi kuchokera kumudzi kwathu waung'ono wa Torquay, England. Sir David Attenborough akadali chimodzi mwazondilimbikitsa kwambiri. Sing'anga yomwe ndimakonda kwambiri ndi ma acrylics chifukwa ndimakonda kusinthasintha kwawo, koma ndinenso wojambula wamkulu.

Kodi mukuona kuti luso lili ndi ntchito yotani komanso/kapena bwanji pakusunga chilengedwe?

Kwa zaka pafupifupi zisanu ndi zitatu tsopano ndakhala ndikugwira ntchito yophunzitsa zachilengedwe mbali zonse za Atlantic, zomwe zandilola kuti ndiphunzitse anthu za nyama (chinthu china chomwe ndimachikonda kwambiri), ndikukhala ndi mwayi wokumana ndi zolengedwa zodabwitsa. mwa munthu. Kukhala wokhoza kudziŵa bwino nyama iliyonse ndi umunthu wake, komanso kudzionera tokha kafukufuku ndi ntchito yoteteza zachilengedwe, n’zolimbikitsa kwambiri.

Awiri mwa ojambula omwe ndimawakonda ndi a David Shepherd ndi a Robert Bateman anzeru kwambiri, onse omwe adagwiritsa ntchito luso lawo lochititsa chidwi pofikira anthu, ndipo ndikusilira izi. Ndikumva kuti ndine wolemekezeka kwambiri powona ntchito yanga ikugwira ntchito yofanana; chifukwa ndimakonda kuwonetsa zamoyo zina "zosadziwika bwino" zomwe ndakhala nazo anthu omwe amatsatira luso langa amandiuza kuti ndidawauzira kuti adziwe zambiri za nyamayo - ndipo ndimakonda izi! Chimodzi mwazinthu zomwe ndimakonda kuchita ndi zojambulajambula zanga ndikufalitsa chidziwitso chazinthu zinazake, monga madera otetezedwa a ma dolphin a Maui komanso ngozi yowopsa ya shark ku Western Australia ndikulumikiza alendo ndi njira zomwe angathandizire. Ndinalinso wochirikiza kampeni ya Shark Saver ya “Shark Stanley” yomwe idathandizira kuwona mitundu ingapo ya shaki ndi ray ikuwonjezeredwa ku chitetezo cha CITES. Kuonjezera apo, ndimakonda kuthandizira mwachindunji kuteteza zachilengedwe pochita nawo zochitika zapadera. Kumayambiriro kwa chaka chino ndidamaliza kujambula kwa chipembere chakuda cha Bowling for Rhinos fundraiser ku Los Angeles ndipo ndichita chimodzimodzi pamwambo wa Julayi 22nd ku Georgia (zochitika zonse ziwiri zimayikidwa ndi American Association of Zoo Keepers ndi 100% ya ndalama zomwe zapeza. kukwezedwa kupita ku kasungidwe ka rhino ndi cheetah ku Africa).

Tsopano zovuta zamasiku 31. Chifukwa shaki ndi kunyezimira? Kodi munayamba mwakumanapo ndi shaki kapena ray?

Shark nthawi zonse zakhala zapadera kwa ine. Pamene National Marine Aquarium inatsegulidwa ku Plymouth, UK mu 1998 ndinkakokera makolo anga kumeneko pa mpata uliwonse ndipo ndinkakanthidwa ndi ma sandbar ndi blacktip reef shark. Panali chinachake chochititsa chidwi kwambiri pa maonekedwe awo ndi mmene ankasunthira; Ndinali wokhumudwa. Mwamsanga ndinakhala wowayimira ine ndekha, ndikudumphira pa mwayi uliwonse kuti ndikonze wina za kusamvetsetsana kokhudzana ndi shaki (chinthu chomwe sindinakulepo). Ngakhale pali chidwi chochuluka pagulu la shaki pakali pano kuposa momwe ndidawonerapo, ndimaonabe ngati pali zambiri zoti ndipite nazo kukonza mbiri yawo yoyipa. Ndipo cheza sichimawonekera ngakhale pang'ono! Pali zamoyo zambiri zoti ndiphunzire ndikuyamikira kuti ndikumva ngati ndili ndi udindo wothandizira anthu kuphunzira - ndipo luso lingandithandize kuchita zimenezo.

Kupyolera mu ntchito yanga yophunzitsa zachilengedwe ndakhala ndi mwayi wokumana ndi shaki zingapo ndi cheza pafupi. Chochitika chosaiwalika kwambiri chinali pomwe ndidawona shaki wakuthengo ndikuyendetsa maulendo ang'onoang'ono m'madzi akunyumba kwanga kumwera kwa Devon. Ndinasangalala kwambiri kuona m'modzi mwa munthu amene ndinapunthwa pa sitepe yachitsulo pa bwato ndikuwuluka, koma ndimangopita kuti ndingojambula zithunzi zochepa chabe. Chilondacho chinali choyenera! Ndidasambiranso m'madzi am'madzi okhala ndi shaki za whale, kuwala kwa manta, shaki zam'changa ndi mitundu ina yambiri, ndipo ndakhala ndi chiwombankhanga chamanja ndi kuwala kwa ng'ombe. Zolinga zanga zazikulu ndikuwona nsomba za whale m'nyanja yotseguka ndikudumphira ndi nsonga zoyera za nyanja - koma kwenikweni, mwayi uliwonse wowona shaki kapena ray mwa munthu ndi maloto. Ndizovuta kwambiri kuti ndichepetse ku mtundu womwe ndimakonda - zimakhala zilizonse zomwe ndikuyang'ana pano! Koma nthawi zonse ndakhala ndi malo ofewa a shaki a blue, oceanic whitetips, whale sharks, ndi wobbegongs, komanso kuwala kwa manta ndi kuwala kwa satana.

Chifukwa chiyani mwasankha Shark Advocates International? Ndipo n’chiyani chinakulimbikitsani kuti mugwire ntchito imeneyi?

Ndinazindikira poyamba Shark Advocates pa Twitter; Ndimatsatira asayansi ambiri apanyanja ndi mabungwe oteteza zachilengedwe kumeneko kotero zinali zosapeŵeka. Ndimakonda kwambiri chidwi cha SAI pa mfundo zoteteza komanso kukhala mawu a shaki ndi cheza komwe kuli kofunikira: m'malamulo ndi malamulo omwe akuyenera kuwateteza pakapita nthawi.

Ndakhala ndikuthandizira mabungwe ambiri kwazaka zambiri koma aka ndi nthawi yanga yoyamba kupanga ndikuchita zovuta kuti ndithandizire cholinga. Ndinali kuganiza kwa nthawi yayitali kuti ndichite zinazake patsamba langa la zojambulajambula pa Sabata la Shark kuti ndikondwerere mitundu yocheperako "yowoneka bwino" yomwe mwina sichingawonekere bwino, koma kukanikiza chikondi changa cha shaki m'masiku asanu ndi awiri okha sikukanatheka. Kenako ndidaganizira momwe ndimakokera shaki nthawi zambiri, ndikudzilingalira ndekha "Nditha kujambula imodzi tsiku lililonse la mwezi." Mwachangu kwambiri zomwe zidasintha kukhala lingaliro lodzikhazikitsira cholinga chenicheni cha mitundu 31 yamitundu yosiyanasiyana, ndikugulitsa zomwe zagulitsidwa pothandizira SAI. Mwezi wa Julayi nthawi zonse umakhala mwezi wabwino kwa nsomba za shaki pama media azachuma kotero ndikukhulupirira kuti kuyesetsa kwanga kumathandizira kupanga chidwi china mwa mitundu iyi ndikukweza ndalama zomenyera nkhondo. Shark ndi Rays kwa Masiku 31 adabadwa!

Kodi mumayembekezera zovuta zilizonse? Ndipo mukuyembekeza kukwaniritsa chiyani ndi polojekitiyi?

Vuto lalikulu kwambiri lolimbana ndi vutoli limabwera ndikusankha mitundu yoti muwonetsere poyamba. Ndidapanganso mndandanda wazoyeserera kumapeto kwa Juni ndi zomwe ndimafuna kuchita, koma ndimaganiziranso zowonjezera! Ndaonetsetsanso kuti ndikusiya malo otseguka kuti anthu afotokoze zomwe angafune kuti awone - azilipira zoyambira, pambuyo pake, komanso ndizosangalatsa kwa ine kuwona kuti ndi mitundu iti yomwe aliyense amakonda. Ndili ndi "zachikale" zomwe ndakonzekera, monga shaki yoyera ndi whale shark, komanso ndikuyembekezera kuwonetsera ngati prickly dogfish ndi longcomb sawfish. Ilinso ndi vuto losangalatsa kwa ine ngati wojambula - zimandilimbikitsa kwambiri kukhala ndi ntchito yoti mumalize tsiku lililonse komanso mwayi wofufuza masitayelo ndi masitayelo ambiri. Ndimakondanso kujambula ndi kujambula mitundu yomwe sindinayesepo kale. Chigawo chilichonse mpaka pano ndi chosiyana pang'ono ndipo ndikufuna kuchita izi mpaka mwezi wonse. Masiku ena ndimadziwa kuti ndidzakhala ndi nthawi yochita zojambula kapena pensulo, ndipo masiku ena ndimakhala ndikuyang'ana pa chithunzi. Malingana ngati ndingathe kumamatira kudzipereka kwanga pamtundu wamtundu tsiku ndikhala nditakwaniritsa cholinga changa! Cholinga chenicheni, ndikupangitsa anthu ambiri kukhudzidwa ndi ntchito ya SAI komanso momwe angathandizire shaki ndi cheza kulikonse komwe ali padziko lapansi. Ngati momwe amachitira zimenezo ndikupeza luso langa ndi kulikonda mokwanira kuti lichirikize cholingacho, ndiye kuti ndidzakhala wokondwa kwambiri!

Ndipo mutani kenako? Chifukwa tilidi chidwi!

Chabwino, ndikudziwa kuti ndipitiriza kujambula shaki ndi cheza! Ndikhala ndikuyambitsa mabuku amitundu yamaphunziro kumapeto kwa chaka chino. Ndidapangapo masamba opaka utoto ngati zolumikizirana ndi zochitika ngati International Whale Shark Day ndipo akhala akugunda kwambiri. Pali ana ambiri omwe ali ndi chidwi ndi chilengedwe - makamaka zamoyo zam'madzi - kupitilira zamoyo zomwe zimapezeka muzinthu zamtunduwu (osati kuti pali cholakwika chilichonse ndi shaki zoyera kapena ma dolphin!), ndipo ndingakonde kupanga chinachake chokondwerera chidwi chimenecho. Mwina kamtsikana kamene kanajambulira chithunzi chimene ndinajambula cha flamboyant cuttlefish adzakula n’kukhala katswiri wamaphunziro a zamantha. Ndipo mwachilengedwe… padzakhala shaki ndi ray-centric imodzi!

Pezani Shark ndi Rays kwa Masiku 31 zojambulajambula zidzagulitsidwa Pano.

Onani zojambula za Jen pa iye Facebook, Twitter ndi Instagram. Adakali ndi masiku 15 kuti apange zidutswa zina zodabwitsa. MUTHA kuyitanitsa zojambulajambula zake ndikuthandizira kuteteza panyanja nthawi yomweyo!

Kuti mudziwe zambiri za Jen Richards ndi polojekitiyi, pitani kwa iye webusaiti.
