ICaribbean Biodiversity Fund iBhaso nge-$1.9M kwiSiseko soLwandle lweZisombululo eziSekwe kwiNdalo eCuba naseDominican Republic.

Washington, DC, Septemba 7^th, 2021 - I-Caribbean Biodiversity Fund (CBF) ibhengeze i-1.9 yezigidi zeerandi kwinkxaso kwi-The Ocean Foundation (TOF) ukuba igxile kwimisebenzi yokuphucula unxweme eCuba naseDominican Republic. I I-CBF's Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) Inkqubo yegranti igxile kwiiprojekthi ezisebenzisa i-biodiversity kunye neenkonzo ze-ecosystem ukunceda uluntu oluselunxwemeni lukwazi ukuziqhelanisa nokutshintsha kwemozulu, ukunciphisa umngcipheko weentlekele, kunye nokwakha i-ikhosistim ekwaziyo ukumelana nendalo. Inkqubo ye-EbA ixhaswa ngemali liNyathelo leMozulu yeHlabathi (i-IKI) yoBuphathiswa beSigqeba saseJamani sokusiNgqongileyo, uLondolozo lweNdalo, kunye noKhuseleko lweNyukliya ngokusebenzisa i-KfW.

Isibonelelo sesona sibonelelo sikhulu kwimbali ye-TOF kwaye yakhela phezu kwesiseko somsebenzi owenziwe yi-TOF's. I-CariMar kwaye Amalinge okuVumela okuBlue, echithe ishumi leminyaka edlulileyo igxile ekwandiseni ukuqina kwemozulu kuwo wonke ummandla weCaribbean. I-TOF ikwayenye yezona zinto zide zisebenza e-US ezingenzi nzuzo zokusingqongileyo ezisebenza eCuba.

ICuba kunye neRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican zabelana ngeentlobo ezininzi zonxweme kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezisongelwa lutshintsho lwemozulu. Ukunyuka komgangatho wolwandle, ukuxutywa kwe-coral kunye nesifo, kunye nokwanda okubonakalayo kwi-strandings evela sargassum I-algae yingxaki eyingozi kuzo zombini izizwe. Ngale projekthi, omabini la mazwe aza kwabelana ngezisombululo ezisekelwe kwindalo ezibonakalise ukusebenza ngempumelelo kulo mmandla.

“ICuba kunye neDominican Republic ngawona mazwe mabini amakhulu eziqithi zeCaribbean kwaye anembali efanayo kunye nokuxhomekeka kulwandle ngokuloba, ukhenketho kunye nokhuseleko lonxweme. Ngesisa kunye nombono we-CBF baya kukwazi ukusebenza kunye kwizisombululo ezitsha zokwakha ukomelela kuluntu lwabo oluhlala elunxwemeni oludlamkileyo. "

ECuba, iiprojekthi ezenziwe zabakho kwesi sibonelelo ziquka ukusebenza noMphathiswa weSayensi, ubuChwepheshe kunye nokusiNgqongileyo waseCuba ukubuyisela amakhulu eehektare zendawo yokuhlala ye mangrove kunye nokuzibandakanya nabasebenzi baseGuanahacabibes National Park kwiinzame zokunyusa ukubuyisela iikorale zokwakha iikorale kunye nokubuyisela ukuhamba kwamanzi kwi-ecosystem ye-mangrove. Kwi-Jardines de la Reina National Park, i-TOF kunye neYunivesithi yaseHavana iya kuqalisa iprojekthi entsha yokubuyisela i-coral ngelixa. siqhubeke nomsebenzi wethu wamashumi eminyaka ekubekeni iliso kwimpilo yekorale.

UMark J. Spalding, uMongameli we-Ocean Foundation, waqinisekisa ukuba “siwonga kwaye siyakhuthazwa yi-CBF yokuqaphela umsebenzi wethu kummandla weCaribbean. Esi sibonelelo siza kuvumela i-TOF kunye namahlakani ethu ukuba bakhe amandla engingqi ukuxhasa ukomelela ukujongana nezivunguvungu ezizayo zokutshintsha kwemozulu, ukuqinisekisa ukhuseleko lokutya okukhulu, kunye nokugcina amaxabiso abalulekileyo okhenketho lwendalo - ukuphucula uqoqosho oluluhlaza kunye nokudala imisebenzi - ngaloo ndlela senza ubomi boluntu. abo bahlala eCuba kunye neDR ikhuselekile kwaye isempilweni. ”

KwiRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican, i-TOF iya kusebenza nayo I-SECORE yamazwe ngamazwe ukuphinda kutyalwe iikorale kwiingqaqa eBayahibe kufuphi neParque del Este National Park kusetyenziswa iindlela ezintsha zokusasaza ngokwesondo eziya kuzinceda zimelane nokuphuma mhlophe kunye nezifo. Le projekthi ikwandise kwintsebenziswano ekhoyo ye-TOF IiGrogenics ukuguqula inkathazo sargassum kwi-compost ukuze isetyenziswe luluntu lwezolimo - ukususa imfuno yezichumisi ezixabisa kakhulu ezisekelwe kwi-petroleum ezinegalelo kungcoliseko lwezondlo kunye nokuthomalalisa inkqubo yendalo engaselunxwemeni.

I-Ocean Foundation iyachulumancisa ukuqalisa le nzame yeminyaka emithathu ejoliswe njengotshintshiselwano phakathi kwezazinzulu, iingcali, icandelo lezokhenketho, kunye noorhulumente. Siyathemba ukuba ezi nzame zizisa iimbono ezintsha ngakumbi zokwakha ukomelela ngokuchasene nokutshintsha kwemozulu kumazwe amabini amakhulu eCaribbean.

Malunga neGrogenics

Injongo yeGrogenics kukugcina iyantlukwano kunye nobuninzi bezinto eziphilayo zaselwandle. Bakwenza oku ngokujongana nentaphane yeenkxalabo kuluntu lwaselunxwemeni ngokuvuna sargassum elwandle ngaphambi kokuba ifike elunxwemeni. Umgquba weGrogenics 'organic compost ubuyisela umhlaba ophilayo ngokubuyisela izixa ezikhulu zekhabhoni emhlabeni nakwizityalo. Ngokuphumeza izenzo zokuvuselela, injongo yokuphela kukubamba iitoni ezininzi zeemetric zekhabhonidayoksayidi eza kwenza ingeniso eyongezelelweyo kumafama okanye kumashishini ehotele ngokusebenzisa i-carbon offsets.
