Ukubuyiselwa kweMangrove ekhokelwa luluntu eXcalak, eMexico

Iqela lethu kutshanje liye e-Xcalak, eMexico njengenxalenye ye-Ocean Foundation's Inyathelo leBlue Resilience (BRI). Ngoba? Ukufumana izandla zethu kunye neebhutsi zimdaka - ngokoqobo - kwenye yeeprojekthi zethu zokubuyiselwa kwe-mangrove.

Khawucinge ngendawo apho i-mangrove ime yomelele ngokuchasene nempepho yolwandle kunye neyesibini ngobukhulu i-coral reef emhlabeni - i-Mesoamerican Reef - ikhusela uluntu ukusuka kwi-Caribbean, eyenza i-Xcalak National Reef Park. 

Ngu Xcalak ngamafutshane. Indawo yogcino lwetropikhi ekwiiyure ezintlanu ukusuka eCancún, kodwa ilizwe elikude nendawo ephithizelayo yabakhenkethi.

Ngelishwa, iparadesi ayikhuselekanga kutshintsho lwemozulu kunye nokwakhiwa. I-ecosystem ye-mangrove yase-Xcalak, ikhaya leentlobo ezine ze-mangrove, zisengozini. Kulapho le projekthi ingena khona. 

Kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, sibambisene noluntu lwaseXcalak, lwaseMexico IKomishini yeeNdawo eziKhuselweyo zeNdalo (CONANP), Iziko loPhando kunye neZifundo eziPhambili zeNational Polytechnic Institute - Mérida (CINVESTAV), Programa Mexicano del Carbono (PMC), kunye ne KwiYunivesithi yeSizwe ezimeleyo yaseMexico (UNAM) ukubuyisela ngaphezu kwe-500 yeehektare ze-mangrove kulo mmandla.  

La maqhawekazi aselunxwemeni awekho mahle nje; badlala indima ebalulekileyo ekulweni utshintsho lwemozulu. Ngenkqubo ebizwa ngokuba yi-carbon sequestration, batsalela ikhabhoni emoyeni baze bayitshixe emhlabeni ongaphantsi kweengcambu zabo – inxalenye ebalulekileyo yomjikelo wekhabhoni eluhlaza. 

Ukutshatyalaliswa KweMangrove: Ukungqinela Iimpembelelo Zokutshintsha Kwemozulu

Ukuya edolophini, umonakalo wabonakala ngokukhawuleza. 

Indlela inqumla kwithafa elikhulu apho kwakukho umgxobhozo. Ngelishwa, ukwakhiwa kwendlela kwaphazamisa ukuhamba kwemvelo kwamanzi olwandle kwimithi yemithi. Ukongezelela koko, iinkanyamba zakutshanje ziye zabangela intlenga engakumbi, zathintela ukuhamba kwamanzi ngakumbi. Ngaphandle kwamanzi olwandle amatsha okugungxula inkqubo, izondlo, izinto ezingcolisa umoya kunye netyuwa ziyakha kumanzi amileyo, zijike imigxobhozo ye<em>mangrove ibe yimigxobhozo yodaka.

Le ndawo yindawo yokulinga kuyo yonke iprojekthi ye-Xcalak - impumelelo apha ivula indlela yomsebenzi kwiihektare eziseleyo ezingama-500+.

Intsebenziswano yoLuntu: Isitshixo seMpumelelo kuBuyiselo lweMangrove

Ngosuku lwethu lokuqala olupheleleyo e-Xcalak, siye sazibonela ngawakho indlela iprojekthi eqhuba ngayo. Ngumzekelo oqaqambileyo wentsebenziswano kunye nokubandakanyeka koluntu. 

Kwi-workshop ekuseni, sava malunga nokuqeqeshwa kwezandla okwenzekayo kunye nentsebenziswano kunye ne-CONANP kunye nabaphandi kwi-CINVESTAV exhasa abahlali be-Xcalak ukuba babe ngabagcini bendawo yabo yangasemva. 

Bexhobe ngeefotsholo kunye nolwazi lwezenzululwazi, abasusi nje intlenga kwaye babuyisela ukuhamba kwamanzi kwimangrove, bakwajonge impilo ye-ecosystem yabo endleleni.

Bafunde okuninzi ngoobani abahlala phakathi kwemithi ye<em>mangrove. Ziquka iindidi zeentaka ezili-16 (ezine zisengozini, enye isesichengeni), amaxhama, iiocelots, impungutye engwevu – nkqu neejaguars! Iimangrove zaseXcalak zinyakazela ngokoqobo bubomi.

Ukujonga phambili kwiXcalak's Future Mangrove Restoration

Njengoko iprojekthi iqhubela phambili, amanyathelo alandelayo kukwandisa ukugrunjwa kwichibi elikufutshane elijikelezwe yimimango efuna ngamandla amanzi amaninzi. Ekugqibeleni, iinzame zokwemba ziya kudibanisa ichweba kwindawo enodaka esiye sayiqhuba kwindlela yethu yokuya edolophini. Oku kuya kunceda ukuhamba kwamanzi njengoko kwakunjalo kuyo yonke i-ikhosistim.

Sikhuthazwa kukuzinikela koluntu kwaye asikwazi kulinda ukubona inkqubela eyenziweyo kutyelelo lwethu olulandelayo. 

Sikunye, asigcini nje ngokubuyisela i-ecosystem ye-mangrove. Sibuyisela ithemba lekamva eliqaqambileyo, isihlangu esinye esinodaka ngexesha.
