Uhambile Wild e Salamanca

Ngu: Mark J. Spalding (Isiseko soLwandle) kunye noShari Sant Plummer (iKhowudi yeBlue Foundation)
Inguqulelo yale bhlog yavela kuqala kwiNational Geographic's Iimboniselo zoLwandle.

Sibhala emva kokuchitha iintsuku ezixakekileyo eSalamanca apho mna noShari sathatha inxaxheba kwi-Wild10, i-10th World Wilderness Congress enesihloko esithi “Ukwenza iHlabathi libe yindawo enqabileyo”. ISalamanca sisixeko saseSpain esineenkulungwane zakudala apho ukuhamba ezitratweni kusisifundo sembali ephilayo. Unyaka wama-2013 uphawula unyaka wama-25 njengeSiza seLifa leMveli leHlabathi le-UNESCO. Yayisilungiselelo esimangalisayo - ukugcinwa okubonakalayo kwelifa elide lomntu ukusuka kwibhulorho yaseRoma ukuya kwiyunivesiti esele ikho malunga ne-800 iminyaka. Ngoku kwakhona lilifa lenzame zezopolitiko zokulawula iilwandle zethu zasendle nemihlaba yethu: iSalamanca ingaphantsi kweyure ukusuka apho amagunya amakhulu amabini eHlabathi, iPortugal neSpain, atyikitya iSivumelwano sowe-1494 saseTordesillas apho ahlula khona imihlaba esanda kufunyanwa ngaphandle. IYurophu ngokuzoba ngokoqobo umgca kwimephu yoLwandlekazi lweAtlantiki. Ke, yayikwayindawo egqibeleleyo yokuthetha ngohlobo olwahlukileyo lwelifa lomntu: Ilifa lokulondoloza umhlaba wasendle apho sinako.

Ngaphezu kwewaka labazimasi be-Wild10 abavela kwiindlela ezahlukeneyo zobomi kunye namaziko bahlanganisene ukuze baxoxe ngokubaluleka kwentlango. Amaqela aquka izazinzulu kunye namagosa karhulumente, iinkokeli ze-NGO kunye nabafoti. Umdla wethu oqhelekileyo wawukwiindawo zasendle zokugqibela zehlabathi kunye nendlela engcono yokuqinisekisa ukukhuselwa kwazo ngoku nakwixesha elizayo, ngokukodwa kunikwe iingcinezelo ezininzi ezivela ebantwini kwimpilo yabo.

Umzila weeLwandle zasendle kunye naManzi waba neentlanganiso ezininzi zokusebenza malunga nemiba yaselwandle kuquka iworkshop yentsebenziswano yaseLwandle lwaseLwandle eyavulwa nguGqr. Sylvia Earle. Umsebenzi weNorth American Intergovernmental Wilderness Areas Protected Areas waboniswa, ochaza iNdawo yaseLwandle yaseLwandle kwaye ibeka iinjongo zokukhusela nokulawula le mimandla. I-9 ka-Okthobha yayilusuku lwe-crossover kunye nengoma ye-Wild Speak, ebonisa unxibelelwano kulondolozo oluxhaswa yi-International League of Conservation Photographers. Abafoti abasebenza kwimo engqongileyo yaselwandle banike intetho ebonakalayo emangalisayo kunye neengxoxo zephaneli zaqaqambisa ukusetyenziswa kwezixhobo zosasazo kulondolozo lwehlabathi.

Sifunde ngeenzame zokukhusela ikorale eethe-ethe kwiiBhanki zaseCordelia eHonduras eziye zanempumelelo. Emva kweminyaka emininzi yemizamo yezazinzulu kunye neeNGO, uRhulumente waseHonduras ukhusele le ndawo kwiveki ephelileyo! Inqaku eliphambili lokuvala iWild Speak ngugxa wethu uRobert Glenn Ketchum kuMgodi wePebble eAlaska yayikhuthaza. Iminyaka yakhe emininzi yobutshantliziyo esebenzisa ukufota kwakhe iyahlawula kuba uninzi lweenkampani ezenza utyalo-mali kulo mgodi wegolide ucetywayo otshabalalisayo kwindawo eyintlango ngoku ziye zarhoxa. Kukhangeleka kunethemba lokuba ekugqibeleni le projekthi iya kuyekiswa!

Ngelixa kukho umkhethe okudala umi emhlabeni kule ndibano yonyaka kwishumi leminyaka loku-1, ugqaliselo luka-2013 loluhlu lweepaneli ezili-14 yayiyintlango yethu yaselwandle yehlabathi-indlela yokukhusela, indlela yokunyanzelisa ukhuseleko, kunye nendlela yokukhuthaza ukhuseleko olongezelelweyo ngokuhamba kwexesha. . Bekukho ngaphezu kwama-50 abathathi-nxaxheba abavela kumazwe ali-17 ababehlanganisene ukuze baphendule le mibuzo neminye yasentlango. Kuyavuyisa ukubona le ngqalelo ivelayo kwimeko eyodwa yentlango yolwandle, ebandakanya izithuba zamazwe ngamazwe ezingaphandle kwegunya likarhulumente ngamnye, kunye nokukhukuliseka kokhuseleko lwayo olungeyonjongo ngenxa yokungafikeleleki kwayo kwangaphambili.

I-Wild Speak ibonise "Abafazi basendle" yonke imihla, ebaleni, nasemva kwemiboniso. UShari uthathe inxaxheba kwiiphaneli ezininzi kunye noSylvia Earle, uKathy Moran ovela kwiNational Geographic, uFay Crevosy waseWild Coast, uAlison Barratt ovela kwiKhaled bin Sultan Living Ocean Foundation, kunye nabanye abaninzi.

Kuthi kwi-Ocean Foundation, ibiliwonga ukuba nenani leeprojekthi zethu kunye nabantu ababonakalisiweyo!

• UMichael Stocker UPhando loLondolozo loLwandle (kungcoliseko lwengxolo yolwandle), kunye noJohn Weller Iprojekthi yokugqibela yoLwandlekazi (ukufuna ukhuseleko loLwandle lweRoss e-Antarctica) apho iiprojekthi ezimbini ezixhaswa ngemali.
• IGrupo Tortuguero, kunye neFuture Ocean Alliance yayiziimali ezimbini zesisa esizibambela “abahlobo” beeakhawunti eTOF.
• Njengoko kuphawuliwe ngasentla, inkwenkwezi yethu yeBhodi yeeNgcebiso, uSylvia Earle wavula kwaye wavala iiworkshops ze-Wild Seas kunye naManzi, kwaye wanikela intetho ephambili yokuvala yonke inkomfa ye-Wild10.
• UMarko uhlonitshwe ukuthetha ngomsebenzi wethu kunye ne-Western Hemisphere Migratory Species Initiative, kunye nokunyanzeliswa kweendawo ezikhuselweyo zaselwandle.
• UMarko wakwazi ukudibana nabadlali abatsha kwaye aphinde adibanise nabahlobo abalungileyo kunye noogxa be-TOF bexesha elide kuquka uFay Crevoshay, uSerge Dedina, u-Exequiel Ezcurra, uKaren Garrison, u-Asher Jay, uXavier Pastor, uBuffy Redsecker, uLinda Sheehan, u-Isabel Torres de Noronha, uDolores Wessen , uEmily Young, kunye noDoug Yurick

Amanyathelo alandelayo

Ukucinga nge-Wild11, kuya kuba kuhle ukuyila intlanganiso ngendlela engazange yahlulwe ibe yimizila yolwandle kunye nentlango yomhlaba, kwaye ngaloo ndlela ivumele ukwabelana ngokuthe ngqo ngakumbi. Ukuba sonke sinokufunda kwiimpumelelo, sabelane ngezifundo kwaye sikhuthazwe, inkomfa elandelayo ingafeza nangakumbi. Sihlala sinethemba lokuba ikwayiveki ebeka isiseko sokhuseleko olutsha kwilifa lethu lolwandle lwasendle.

Isifundo esinye esithathwe kwi-Wild10 kukuzinikela okumangalisayo kwabo basebenzela ukugcina ilifa lethu lentlango yehlabathi. Esinye isifundo esinokuthi sithathelwe ingqalelo kukuba utshintsho lwemozulu luchaphazela izityalo, izilwanyana, kunye nejografi yeendawo ezikude nentlango. Ke, akunakwenzeka ukuxoxa ngayo nayiphi na imiba yokhuseleko lwasentlango ngaphandle kokuqwalasela okwenzekayo kunye nokuba kusenokwenzeka ntoni. Kwaye ekugqibeleni, kukho ithemba kunye nethuba lokufunyanwa-kwaye yiloo nto isivusa sonke kusasa.
