Hurumende yeMexico yakada kuibvumidza nekuda kwezvikonzero zvekusimudzira hupfumi, zvisinei nekuti dhamu rine mazita akawanda senzvimbo yakachengetedzwa munyika uye pasi rose.

Mushandirapamwe wakatsunga wemakore mashanu wakakwevera zviuru zvevatsigiri vakatsigira nhamburiko yenyika yose yakaitwa nemubatanidzwa waisanganisira masangano akawanda. Vatambi vemabhaisikopo nevaimbi vane mukurumbira vakabatana nevaratidziri veko uye varatidziri vekuAmerica kumisa mabasa emunyu uye kuunza kutarisisa kwenyika dzese kudambudziko regrey whale. Muna 2000, Mitsubishi yakazivisa chinangwa chayo chekubvisa zvirongwa zvayo. Takanga takunda!

Muna 2010, maveterans emushandirapamwe iwoyo akaungana pane imwe yemisasa yerustic yeLaguna San Ignacio kupemberera makore gumi ekukunda ikoko. Takaendesa vana vomunharaunda imomo parwendo rwavo rwokutanga rwokuona whale—chiito chinopa chokurarama nacho muchando kumhuri dzavo. Boka redu raisanganisira varatidziri vakaita saJoel Reynolds weNRDC avo vachiri kushanda vakamirira mhuka dzemugungwa mazuva ese, naJared Blumenfeld, akaenderera mberi nekushandira zvakatipoteredza mubasa rehurumende.

Kubva kuvaongorori vepamusoro kuenda kunyanzvi dzemhuka dzemugungwa kusvika kuPh.D diki. vakwikwidzi, vatori vechikamu mumusangano vanomiririra ruzhinji rwehurumende nemasangano edzidzo, pamwe nevashoma vevamwe vanopa mari nemaNGO. Chinangwa chetsvagurudzo chiri pamhuka dzemugungwa dziri kuSouthern California Bight, nzvimbo inosvika 90,000 square mamaira nzvimbo yeEastern Pacific inosvika mamaira mazana mana nemakumi mashanu pamhenderekedzo yePacific Ocean kubva kuPoint Conception pedyo neSanta Barbara kumaodzanyemba kusvika kuCabo Colonet muBaja California, Mexico.

Kutyisidzirwa kwemhuka dzemugungwa kwakasiyana-siyana-kubva kuzvirwere zviri kubuda kuenda kukuchinja kwekemisitiri yemugungwa uye tembiricha kusvika pakubatana kunouraya nezviitiko zvevanhu. Zvakadaro, simba uye manyawi ekubatana kunobuda mumusangano uyu zvinokurudzira tariro yekuti tichabudirira mukusimudzira hutano nekuchengetedzwa kwezvose zvinoyamwisa zvemugungwa. Uye, zvaifadza kunzwa kuti grey whale iri kupora sei nekuda kwedziviriro yepasirese uye kusvinurira kwenzvimbo.

Mukutanga kwaKurume, tichapemberera makore gumi nematatu ekukunda kwedu muLaguna San Ignacio. Zvichava zvinovava kurangarira mazuva ane musoro nekuti ndine hurombo kutaura kuti Patricia Martinez akarasikirwa nechirwere chegomarara pakupera kwaNdira. Aive mweya wakashinga uye aifarira mhuka anoda, pamwe nehanzvadzi inoshamisa, waaishanda naye, uye shamwari. Nyaya yegrey whale nursery yeLaguna San Ignacio inyaya yedziviriro inotsigirwa nekuchenjerera uye kutevedzera, inyaya yekubatana kwenzvimbo, dunhu, uye nedzimwe nyika, uye inyaya yekushanda kunze kwekusiyana kuti uwane chinangwa chakafanana. Panguva ino gore rinouya, mugwagwa mukuru wakagadzirwa uchabatanidza dhamu nenyika yose kekutanga. Huchaunza shanduko.

Tinogona kukarira kuti zhinjisa dzechinjo idzodzo ndedzekunakira mawhale nenzanga duku dzavanhu dzinotsamira padziri—uye nokuda kwavashanyi vane mhanza vanosvika pakuona izvi zvisikwa zvakaisvonaka pedyo. Uye ini ndinotarisira kuti ichashanda sechiyeuchidzo kuramba uchitsigira uye wakasvinura kuona kuti grey whale nyaya yekubudirira inoramba iri nyaya yekubudirira.
