Gcina i-Loreto yomlingo

Imibuliso evela kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseLoreto apho ndilinde ukukhwela inqwelomoya yam ndibuyela e-LAX emva kweveki exakeke kakhulu.  

Kuhlala kumnandi ukubuyela e-Loreto, kwaye ihlala isenza i-melancholy ukuhamba. Ndiyakuthanda ukubukela ilanga liphuma phezu kweLoreto Bay National Park. Ndiyakuthanda ukubona abahlobo bakudala kunye nokudibana nabantu abatsha. Ndityelele apha iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabini anesihlanu-kwaye ndiyabulela ngawo onke amathuba endinawo okusebenza ekukhuselweni kwemithombo yendalo kunye nenkcubeko eyenza le nxalenye ye-Baja California Sur ibe yinto ekhethekileyo.

Kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo, i-Loreto Bay National (Marine) Park yathiywa ngokuba yiNdalo yeLifa leMveli yeHlabathi. Kule veki, ndibe nethamsanqa lokuzimasa ukutyhilwa kwecwecwe elisesikweni elichonga eli gama likhethekileyo lale ndawo intle nekhethekileyo. IPaki ilikhaya kuthotho lweentlanzi kunye nezilwanyana ezincancisayo zaselwandle, kwaye iyinxalenye yendlela yokufuduka yeminenga eluhlaza, iminenga, iminenga, iminenga ebulalayo, iminenga yokulingwa, iminenga yesidoda nokunye.

Enye yeenjongo zotyelelo lwam yayikukuhlanganisa uluntu ukuze luthethe ngokudalwa kwepaki yesizwe kumhlaba osemazantsi edolophu yaseLoreto. Bamalunga nama-30 abantu ababezimase iworkshop yokuqala kwaye sathetha ngobungakanani obuthile kunye nohlobo oluthile lwepaki, kunye nendima karhulumente waseMexico, kunye nesidingo senkxaso yoluntu. Imincili yokuqala iphezulu kule nxalenye ye-2,023-hektare (5,000 acre) ukufumana ukhuseleko.

Utyelelo lwam lube lithuba lokuthetha neenkokeli zasekuhlaleni, abanini bamashishini, kunye nabasebenzi abangenzi ngeniso malunga neendlela ezizezona zokuqinisekisa ukuba umthetho weLoreto wolondolozo oluphawulekayo, iPOEL, okanye i-Ecological Ordinance iphunyezwa njengoko bekucetyiwe. Njengoko unokucinga, i-Loreto ifana nezinye iindawo ze-BCS-eyomileyo kwaye ixhomekeke ekukhuseleni imithombo yamanzi kwintlalontle, indalo, kunye nempilo yezoqoqosho kunye nokuzinza. Kudla ngokubakho inkxalabo emandla xa kukho nawuphi na ubungozi obunokwenzeka kubutyebi bendalo bommandla. Ukwembiwa kwemingxuma evulekileyo ngomnye umzekelo womsebenzi onzima wamanzi, ongcolisa amanzi obhabha ebusweni bePOEL. Ndineentlanganiso ezininzi ezibalulekileyo eziye zanceda ukwazisa okunokwenziwa ukuqinisekisa ukuba uluntu aluvuleli umnyango wemigodi ngokusebenzisa indalo.n yenkuthazo yengeniso ngohlobo lwerhafu yepropathi yemigodi kumhlaba ongaphuhliswanga.

Okokugqibela, ndiye ndakwazi ukuya kwigala ye-8 yonyaka ye-Eco-Alianza, ebibanjwe kwiHotele yeMission kumda wamanzi eLoreto. Ababekho baquka abahlali basekuhlaleni, abahlali bamaxesha athile, iinkokeli zoshishino kunye nabanye abaxhasi. Ifandesi ethe cwaka ihlala igcwele ubugcisa obuhle obuvela kubantu bommandla, kunye nezinye izinto ezivela kumashishini asekhaya-ukuzinikela kulwakhiwo loluntu oluluphawu Umsebenzi ka-Eco-Alianza. Ndisebenza njengomcebisi ku-Eco-Alianza, eyasungulwa ukufundisa, ukukhuthaza, kunye nokunxibelelana ngeendlela impilo yemithombo yendalo ye-Loreto echaphazela ngayo impilo yabo bonke. Yayiyingokuhlwa eyonwabisayo, njengesiqhelo.

Kuhlala kunzima ukushiya indawo entle kangaka enabemi abohlukeneyo nabanomdla kuluntu. Nangona umsebenzi wam uzoqhubeka uquka ipaki yesizwe, imiba yezemigodi, kunye neenkqubo ze-Eco-Alianza xa ndibuyela e-DC, sele ndijonge ukubuya kwam.

Sincede sigcine i-Loreto yomlingo.
