Esi sithuba savela okokuqala kwiwebhusayithi yePlaya Viva. I-Playa Viva yi-Friends of Fund ngaphakathi kwe-Ocean Foundation kwaye ikhokelwa nguDavid Leventhal.

Kwiveki enye edlulileyo ndibe nethamsanqa lokukhapha amalungu endawo yofudo iLa Tortuga Viva kwenye yeepatroli zabo zasebusuku kunxweme olukufutshane nePlaya Viva nangaphaya. Bakhangela iindlwane zamafudo olwandle ukuze bakhusele amaqanda kubazingeli ngokungekho mthethweni nakwizilwanyana ezizingelayo ngokuwasa kwindawo yawo yokugcina abantwana ukuze agcinwe de aqandusele aze akhululwe.

Bekunomdla kakhulu ukubona kuqala umsebenzi owenziwa ngala mavolontiya asekuhlaleni kunye nokuqonda ngcono iinzame abazenzayo rhoqo ebusuku nakusasa (i-patroli enye iqala nge-10pm ukuya ezinzulwini zobusuku kwaye enye iqala nge-4 am) Iinkwenkwezi phezu kolwandle. sasimangalisa njengoko sasitsiba kwinqwelo-mafutha yelo qela. U-Elias, intloko yeTortuga Viva kunye nesikhokelo sam sobusuku, wachaza indlela yokukhangela amathrekhi e-turtle kunye neendlwana. Asiba nethamsanqa, nangona kunjalo: sifumene iindlwana ezimbini, kodwa ngelishwa abazingeli abangabantu basibethele kuzo kwaye amaqanda aphelile. Siphinde sabona ufudo olu-3 olufileyo kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo elunxwemeni, ekunokwenzeka ukuba lurhaxwe elwandle yiminatha yeentlanzi zokuloba.

Yonke into yayingalahlekanga, sasinethamsanqa elikhulu kuba sathi sakubuyela kwindawo ebiyelweyo ezinzulwini zobusuku indlwane yayiqanduselwa, yaye ngokwenene ndabona amantshontsho ofudo enyuka entlabathini! U-Elias ngobunono waqalisa ukushenxisela isanti ecaleni kwaye waqokelela ngocoselelo izandla zosana lwe-Olive Ridley Turtles ukuze lukhululwe lubuyele elwandle.

Kwiveki enye kamva, xa thina amavolontiya e-WWOOF safika e-Playa Viva emsebenzini ngo-6: 30 ekuseni saxelelwa liqela le-Playa Viva ukuba ufudo lwaluselunxwemeni kanye phambi kwehotele. Sabaleka i-pell-mell saya entlabathini, sikhangela iikhamera zethu, sisoyika ukuphoswa ngumbono; Ngethamsanqa kuthi ufudo lwalungashukumi ngokukhawuleza, ngoko sakwazi ukubukela njengoko wayengena elwandle. Kwakuyi-turtle enkulu kakhulu (malunga ne-3-4 ubude ubude) kwaye kuvela ukuba sinethamsanqa ngokwenene kuba yayinqabile kakhulu i-Black turtle, ebizwa ngokuba yi-"Prieta" ngabemi basekhaya (chelonia agassizii).

Amavolontiya endawo yofudo ekhona, elindele ukuba abuyele elwandle ngaphambi kokuba akhusele amaqanda akhe ngokuwakhusela kumarhamncwa kwindawo engcwele. Kwakuvuyisa kakhulu ukubona iingoma awayezenzile enyuka elunxwemeni, iindlwane ezimbini zobuxoki awayezenzile (ekubonakala ukuba yayiyindlela yokuzikhusela yendalo kumarhamncwa) kunye nemikhondo yakhe isihla. Amavolontiya awayelapho ayiphonononga ngobunono isanti ngentonga ende, ezama ukufumana indlwane yokwenene, kodwa enexhala lokuba asenokuwonakalisa amaqanda. Omnye wabuyela edolophini ukuya kulanda isibini samagqala eTortuga Viva amalungu ngelixa elinye lahlala apha ukuphawula indawo kunye nokugada indlwane kuphazamiseko olunokwenzeka. Wachaza ukuba nangona bebesoloko bejikeleza unyaka wonke, abazange bayifumane indlwane yasePrieta ngaphambili. Akuba efikile amalungu aphezulu onogada u-Elias noHector, bazi kanye ukuba bajonge phi, baza baqalisa ukugrumba. UHector mde kwaye uneengalo ezinde, kodwa wemba ezantsi de wangqiyama ngokupheleleyo emngxunyeni phambi kokuba afumane amaqanda. Waza wabanyusa ngothantamiso, ngababini, nokuba bathathu ngaxeshanye; zazingqukuva kwaye zilingana nobukhulu beebhola zegalufa ezinkulu. Amaqanda angama-81 ewonke!

Ngeli xesha babenabaphulaphuli bonke amavolontiya e-WWOOF, ilungu labasebenzi be-Playa Viva abaye behlisa ifosholo ukuze bancede xa kuyimfuneko, kunye neendwendwe ezininzi ze-Playa Viva. Amaqanda afakwa kwiingxowa ezimbalwa aze asiwe kwindawo yokugcina ufudo, kwaye sasilandela sibukele yonke inkqubo yokukhusela amaqanda ukuze afukamele. Emva kokuba amaqanda angcwatywe ngokukhuselekileyo kwindlwane yawo entsha, eyenziwe ngumntu, i-65 cm ubunzulu, sanikwa uhambo lokubuyela ePlaya Viva.

Ufudo oluMnyama lusemngciphekweni omkhulu wokuphela; unethamsanqa lokuba abe namavolontiya achaphazelekayo ukuze akhusele amaqanda akhe, kwaye leliphi ithamsanqa kuthi ngokubona uhlobo olunqabileyo oluphantse lutshabalale.

Malunga nabahlobo baseLa Tortuga Viva: Kwikona esezantsi-mpuma ye-Playa Viva, ihotele ye-boutique ezinzileyo, abasebenzi bokuzithandela bonke, abaqulethwe ngamalungu oluntu lwendawo yaseJuluchuca, bamise indawo yokugcina i-turtle. Aba ngabalobi kunye namafama aye aqaphela umonakalo owenziwe kuluntu lwamafudo asekuhlaleni kwaye bagqiba ekubeni benze umahluko. Eli qela lathatha igama elithi "La Tortuga Viva" okanye "I-Living Turtle" kwaye yafumana uqeqesho kwiSebe laseMexico loKhuseleko lweZilwanyana eziseMngciphekweni. Ukunikela nceda cofa apha.
