Indlela iPhilanthropy yoLwandle enokuguqula ngayo iTide

NguCatharine Cooper kunye noMark Spalding, uMongameli, i-Ocean Foundation

Inguqulelo yale blog yavela kuqala kwiNational Geographic's Ocean Views

Kunzima ukucinga nabani na ongekatshintshwa ngamava olwandle. Nokuba kukuhamba ecaleni kwakhe, ukuqubha kumanzi akhe apholileyo, okanye ukudada phezu komphezulu wakhe, isibhakabhaka esikhulu solwandle lwethu siyaguquka. Sikhwankqisiwe bubungangamsha bakhe.

Sikhwankqisiwe yimbonakalo yakhe eguquguqukayo, isingqi samaza akhe, kunye nokubetha kwamaza abethayo. Ubomi obuninzi ngaphakathi nangaphandle kolwandle businika isondlo. Ulungelelanisa ubushushu bethu, ufunxa ikharbon diokside, usenzela ukuzonwabisa, aze achaze isijikelezi-langa sethu esiluhlaza.

Sijonge kumbono wakhe owothusayo, umgama oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kunye namava okungenamda esikwaziyo ngoku ukuba bubuxoki.

Ulwazi lwangoku lutyhila ukuba iilwandle zethu zisengxakini enkulu - kwaye zifuna uncedo lwethu. Ixesha elide kakhulu besiluthatha lula ulwandle, kwaye silindele ngomlingo ukuba angafunxa, asetyise kwaye alungise konke esikuphose kuye. Ukuncipha kwamanani eentlanzi, ukuwohloka kweingqaqa zekorale, iindawo ezifileyo, ukwanda kweasidi, ukuchitheka kweoyile, ukufa okunetyhefu, indawo yenkunkuma elingana neTexas - zonke ziingxaki ezenziwe ngumntu, kwaye yindoda ekufuneka itshintshe ukukhusela amanzi. ezixhasa ubomi kwisijikelezi-langa sethu.

Sifikelele kwinqanaba lokuphucula - indawo apho ukuba asiguquki / asizilungisi izenzo zethu, sinokubangela isiphelo sobomi elwandle, njengoko sisazi. USylvia Earle uwubiza lo mzuzu, “indawo emnandi,” kwaye uthi into esiyenzayo ngoku, ukhetho esilwenzayo, izenzo esizenzayo, zinokujika umsinga kwindlela exhasa ubomi, kulwandle kunye nathi. Siye saqalisa ukuhamba kancinci sisiya kwicala elifanelekileyo. Kuxhomekeke kuthi - thina abaluxabisayo ulwandle - ukuthatha amanyathelo anesibindi ukukhusela impilo kunye nekamva lolwandle.

Iidola zethu zinokujikwa zibe zizenzo ezibukhali. I-Ocean philanthropy lolunye lokhetho esinokulwenza, kwaye iminikelo ibalulekile ekuqhubeni nasekukhuliseni iinkqubo zolwandle ngenxa yezizathu ezithathu ezibalulekileyo:

• Iingxaki kunye nocelomngeni olujongene neelwandle zininzi kunangaphambili
• Iimali zikarhulumente ziyehla- zide zinyamalale kwezinye iinkqubo ezibalulekileyo zolwandle
• Uphando kunye neendleko zenkqubo ziyaqhubeka nokunyuka

Nazi izinto ezintlanu ezibalulekileyo onokuzenza ngoku ukunceda ukugcina ubomi bolwandle lwethu:

1. Nika, kwaye Nika iNqaku.

Bhala itshekhi. Thumela ucingo. Yabela i-asethi enomdla. Izitokhwe ezixatyisiweyo zesipho. Tyala umnikelo kwikhadi lakho letyala. Sasaza isipho ngeentlawulo zenyanga eziphindelelayo. Khumbula isisa kwintando yakho okanye ithemba. Yiba nguMxhasi weNkampani. Yiba liqabane loLwandle. Nika isipho ngokuhlonipha usuku lokuzalwa lomhlobo okanye isikhumbuzo sabazali bakho. Nika kwinkumbulo yesithandwa solwandle. Bhalisela inkqubo yesipho somqeshi wakho ehambelana nesipho.

2. Landela intliziyo yakho

Khetha awona maqela asebenzayo olondolozo lolwandle adibana nentliziyo yakho. Ngaba ungumntu wofudo lwaselwandle? Ukuthandana neminenga? Unexhala malunga neingqaqa zekorale? Ubudlelwane yinto yonke! Inkwenkwezi kwaye Charity Navigator bonelela ngocazululo oluneenkcukacha lwengeniso xa lithelekiswa neendleko zezona nkampani zinkulu zase-US ezingenzi nzuzo. I-Ocean Foundation inokukunceda ukuba ufumane iprojekthi ehambelana nomdla wakho, kwaye uya kuvuna umvuzo njengoko iminikelo yakho ixhasa impumelelo yolwandle.

3. Bandakanyeka

Wonke umbutho oxhasa ulwandle unokusebenzisa uncedo lwakho, kwaye kukho amakhulu eendlela zokuba namava ezandla. Uncedo nge Isiganeko soLwandle lweHlabathi (nge-8 kaJuni), bathathe inxaxheba kucoceko lolwandle (Isiseko seSurfrider okanye Umanyano lwabagcini bamanzi). Ukujikela uSuku lweHlabathi lokuCoca unxweme. Survey fish for IREF.

Zifundise, abantwana bakho, nabahlobo bakho ngemiba ephathelele ulwandle. Bhalela amagosa karhulumente iileta. Ukuvolontiya kwimisebenzi yombutho. Zithembise ukunciphisa impembelelo yakho kwimpilo yeelwandle. Yiba sisithethi solwandle, unozakuzaku wolwandle lomntu.

Xelela usapho lwakho kunye nabahlobo ukuba unikele ngolwandle kwaye ngoba! Bameme ukuba badibanise nawe ekuxhaseni izizathu ozifumeneyo. Yincokole! Thetha izinto ezintle malunga nesisa sakho esikhethiweyo kuTwitter okanye kuFacebook, nakwamanye amajelo asekuhlaleni.

4. Nika izinto eziyimfuneko

Abangenzi ngeniso badinga iikhompyutha, izixhobo zokurekhoda, izikhephe, izixhobo zokuntywila, njl.njl. ukwenza umsebenzi wabo. Ngaba unezinto onazo, kodwa ungazisebenzisi? Ingaba unawo amakhadi esipho kwiivenkile ezingathengisiyo into oyifunayo? Uninzi lwemibutho yesisa luthumela "uluhlu lweminqweno kwiwebhusayithi yabo." Qhagamshelana nesisa sakho ukuze uqinisekise isidingo ngaphambi kokuba uthumele. Ukuba umnikelo wakho uyinto enkulu, njengephenyane okanye isithuthi esihamba ngeendlela zonke, cinga kwakhona ukunika imali efunekayo ukuze uyikhusele kwaye uyigcine unyaka okanye ngaphezulu.

5. Sincede sifumane “kutheni?”

Kufuneka siqonde ukuba kutheni bekukho ukunyuka okubalulekileyo kwimitya-enje pilot whales eFlorida, or amatywina e-UK. Kutheni na Inkwenkwezi yolwandle lwePasifikis bafa ngendlela engaqondakaliyo kwaye yintoni unobangela wokutshayisa kwentlanzana kunxweme olusentshona. Uphando luthatha iiyure zomntu, ukuqokelelwa kwedatha, kunye nokutolikwa kwenzululwazi - ixesha elide ngaphambi kokuba izicwangciso zesenzo ziphuhliswe kwaye zisebenze. Le misebenzi ifuna inkxaso-mali – kwaye kwakhona, kulapho indima yobubele bolwandle isisiseko kwimpumelelo yolwandle.

I-Ocean Foundation (TOF) sisiseko soluntu esisodwa esinomnqophiso wokuxhasa, ukomeleza, nokukhuthaza loo mibutho ezinikele ekubuyiseleni umva umkhwa wokutshatyalaliswa kokusingqongileyo kolwandle kwihlabathi jikelele.

• Senza lula ukunika ukuze abanikeli bakwazi ukugxila kwiminqweno yabo ekhethiweyo yamanxweme kunye nolwandle.
• Sifumana, sivavanye, size emva koko sixhase - okanye umphathi wezimali - eyona mibutho isebenzayo yolondolozo lwaselwandle.
• Siqhubela phambili izisombululo ezitsha, ezilungiselelwe umntu ngamnye, iinkampani kunye nabaxhasi bakarhulumente.

Iisampulu yeeNqaku ze-TOF zika-2013 ziquka:

Wamkele iiprojekthi ezine ezintsha ezixhaswa ngemali

1. Iphulo leMigodi yoLwandle oluNzulu
2. Ufudo lwaseLwandle oluBambisayo
3. Iprojekthi yoLondolozo lweTuna yeHlabathi
4. Ixesha laseLagoon

Ithathe inxaxheba kwingxoxo-mpikiswano yokuvula “Imingeni eSisiseko kuLwandle Lwethu namhlanje kunye neeMpembelelo kuBantu ngokuBanzi kunye naMazwe aseluNxwemeni ngakumbi.”

Kuqalwe ngophuhliso lokuzinikela kukaClinton Global Initiative malunga nokugcinwa kwezilwanyana zasemanzini kumazwe ngamazwe.

Zinikiwe kwaye zathatha inxaxheba kwiinkomfa/iintlanganiso/iitheyibhile ezijikelezayo eziyi-22 ezathi zenziwa kuzwelonke nakumazwe ngamazwe. Ithathe inxaxheba kwiNgqungquthela ye-10 yeZizwe ngezizwe yokutya kwaselwandle eHong Kong

Uncedise kwinguqu eyayifudula ixhaswa ngemali kwiiprojekthi zeBlue Legacy International kunye ne-Ocean Doctor zibe yimibutho ezimeleyo engenzi nzuzo.

IiMpumelelo zeNkqubo ngokuBanzi

• I-TOF's Shark Advocate International yasebenza ukuze iCITIES yamkele iingcebiso zokudwelisa iindidi ezintlanu zookrebe abarhweba kakhulu.
• Abahlobo baka-TOF bePro Esteros bacele kwaye baphumelela ukufumana urhulumente waseCalifornia ukuba akhusele i-Ensenada Wetland eBaja California, eMexico.
• Iprojekthi ye-TOF ye-Ocean Connectors iseke intsebenziswano neSithili seZikolo seSizwe ukuzisa i-Ocean Connectors kuzo zonke izikolo zamabanga aphantsi kule minyaka mihlanu izayo.
• IProjekthi ye-TOF ye-SEEtheWild yaphehlelela inyathelo layo leBhiliyoni loMntwana woFudo elithe ukuza kuthi ga ngoku lincede ekukhuseleni amantshontsho aqanduselwayo amalunga nama-90,000 kunxweme oluzalela ufudo kwiLatin America.

Ulwazi oluthe vetshe ngeenkqubo zethu zika-2013 kunye nezinto esizifezileyo zinokufumaneka kwi-intanethi ye-TOF 2013 yeNgxelo yoNyaka.

Isiqubulo sethu sithi "Sixelele into ofuna ukuyenzela uLwandle, siza kubakhathalela abanye."

Ukukhathalela abanye, thina - kunye noluntu lwaselwandle luphela - sidinga uncedo lwakho. I-philanthropy yakho yolwandle inokuguqula umsinga ukuya kwiilwandle ezizinzileyo kunye neplanethi esempilweni. Nika kakhulu, kwaye uphe ngoku.
