Indawo Yokusabela Yokugqibela

nguBrad Nahill, uMlawuli kunye noMseki we-SEEtheWILD

Ulwandle olubanzi ngorhatya olufudumeleyo olucacileyo lunokuba yeyona ndawo iphumlayo emhlabeni. Kwakungenakufane kwenzeke ukuba sidibane nofudo oluzalelayo ngale ngokuhlwa intle kwikona ekumntla-ntshona weNicaragua (amaza ayengafanelekanga), kodwa asizange sibe nangxaki. Isandi esithambileyo se-surf sinikeze isandi sesandi seMilky Way eqaqambileyo endikhe ndayibona kwiminyaka. Ukuphuma nje entlabathini yayilulonwabo olwaneleyo. Kodwa asizange sihambe iiyure ezili-10 ngebhasi ukusuka e-El Salvador ukuya kuhambo oluzolileyo elunxwemeni.

Siye safika Padre Ramos Estuary kuba likhaya lelona phulo lolondolozo lweefudo zaselwandle ezikhuthazayo ehlabathini. Iqela lethu lemotley leengcaphephe zofudo lwaselwandle lwamazwe ngamazwe bebekhona njengenxalenye yephulo lophando lokufunda nokukhusela elinye labona bantu basemngciphekweni wokuphela kofudo ehlabathini, iMpuma yePasifiki. ufudo lwaselwandle lwehawksbill. Ikhokelwa ngabasebenzi baseNicaragua be Izilwanyana kunye neFlora International (I-FFI, iqela lolondolozo lwamazwe ngamazwe) kwaye iqhutywe ngenkxaso evela kwi- Inyathelo le-Hawksbill yaseMpuma yePasifiki (eyaziwa ngokuba yi-ICAPO), le projekthi yofudo ikhusela enye yeendawo ezimbini eziphambili zokuzalela aba bantu (enye El Salvador kwiJiquilisco Bay). Le projekthi ixhomekeke ekuthatheni inxaxheba kwabahlali basekuhlaleni; ikomiti ye-18 yemibutho yasekuhlaleni engenzi nzuzo, amaqela oluntu, oorhulumente basekhaya, kunye nokunye.

Indlela eselunxwemeni ekhokelela kwidolophu yasePadre Ramos yaziva njengezinye iindawo ezininzi kunxweme loMbindi Merika kunxweme lwePasifiki. Iikhabhinethi ezincinci zidweliswe elunxwemeni, zivumela abaqhubi beelwandle ukuba bachithe iiyure ezimbalwa ngaphandle kwamanzi ubusuku ngabunye. Ukhenketho alukhange luyichukumise idolophu ephambili nangona kunjalo kwaye ukujonga kwabantwana basekhaya kubonise ukuba iigringos azikabikho ngumbono oqhelekileyo xa uhamba edolophini.

Ndithe xa ndifika kwiikhabhinethi zethu, ndathatha ikhamera yam ndakhe ndahambahamba edolophini. Umdlalo webhola ekhatywayo wasemva kwemini wakhuphisana nokuqubha kumanzi apholileyo kumdlalo othandwayo wabahlali. Ndaphuma ndaya elunxwemeni xa ilanga lalitshona ndalilandela ngasemantla emlonyeni wechweba elijikeleza idolophu. Icrater ethe tyaba yentaba-mlilo yaseCosigüina ijonge i-bay kunye neziqithi ezininzi.

Ngemini elandelayo, siphumle ngokupheleleyo, sanduluka kwangethuba ngamaphenyane amabini sizama ukubamba inkunzi yehawksbill emanzini. Uninzi lwamafudo afundwe kulo mmandla ibe ngamabhinqa abanjwe lula elunxwemeni emva kokuzalela. Sabona i-hawksbill ecaleni kwesiqithi esibizwa ngokuba yi-Isla Tigra, ngqo phambi kwePeninsula yaseVenecia, kwaye iqela laqala ukusebenza, umntu omnye ephuma enqanaweni enomsila womnatha ngelixa isikhephe sajikeleza kwisemicircle enkulu, umnatha wawutwabulula emva komkhombe. Sakuba isikhephe sifikile elunxwemeni, wonk’ ubani watsiba ukuze ancede ukutsala incam ezimbini zomnatha, ngelishwa lingenanto.

Ngaphandle kwethamsanqa lethu ekubambeni ufudo emanzini, iqela likwazile ukubamba ufudo oluthathu ebesilufuna kumnyhadala wophando ngesathelayithi. Size nofudo olunye olusuka eVenecia, ebekwe ngaphesheya kwebhayi ukusuka kwidolophu yasePadre Ramos, ukubandakanya amalungu oluntu athatha inxaxheba kwiprojekthi kumsitho wokuthegiswa kwesathelayithi. Kuncinci okwaziwayo malunga nofudo, kodwa abathumeli besathelayithi babe yinxalenye yophando lophando oluye lwatshintsha indlela izazinzulu ezijonga ngayo imbali yobomi bolu hlobo. Enye into eyafunyaniswayo eyothusayo iingcali ezininzi zofudo sisibakala sokuba aba khetshe bakhetha ukuhlala kumachweba e<em>mangrove; Ukuza kuthi ga ngelo xesha abaninzi babekholelwa ukuba babehlala kuphela kwiingqaqa zekorale.

Abantu abambalwa bahlanganisana njengoko iqela lethu lalisebenza ukucoca iqokobhe likafudo kwi-algae kunye ne-barnacles. Emva koko, salisakha iqokobhe ukuze kubekho indawo erhabaxa ekunokuncamathiselwa kuyo isidluliseli. Emva koko, sigubungela indawo enkulu ye-carapace kunye neengqimba ze-epoxy ukuqinisekisa ukulingana okuqinileyo. Nje ukuba siqhoboshele isidluliseli, iqhekeza letyhubhu yePVC ekhuselayo yabekwa kufutshane ne-eriyali ukuyikhusela kwiingcambu kunye nolunye ubutyobo olunokuthi lukhulule i-eriyali. Inyathelo lokugqibela yayikukupeyinta umaleko wepeyinti echasayo ukuthintela ukukhula kwealgae.

Emva koko, sabuyela eVenecia ukuya kubeka oofudo ababini abangakumbi kufutshane neprojekthi yokuqandusela, apho amaqanda e-hawksbill aziswa khona ukusuka kufutshane nechweba ukuze akhuselwe ade aqandusele emva koko akhululwe. Imizamo engapheliyo yee-"careyeros" ezininzi zendawo (igama lesiSpanishi kubantu abasebenza kunye ne-hawksbill, eyaziwa ngokuba yi-"carey") yavuzwa ngethuba lokusebenza kunye nobuchwepheshe obuphezulu kolu phando lubalulekileyo lwezenzululwazi. Ukuzingca kwabo ngomsebenzi wabo kwabonakala kuncumo lwabo njengoko babebukele ofudo ababini besiya emanzini xa sele kubotshelelwe oomatshini bokuhambisa amanzi.

Ukulondolozwa kofudo ePadre Ramos kungaphezulu nje kokuncamathisela izinto zombane kumaqokobhe azo. Uninzi lomsebenzi wenziwa yi-careyeros phantsi kobumnyama, beqhuba izikhephe zabo kwichweba lomlambo bekhangela ii-hawksbill zokuzalela. Xa enye ifunyenwe, babiza abasebenzi beprojekthi abancamathelisa i-ID yentsimbi kumaphiko ofudo baze balinganise ubude nobubanzi bamaqokobhe abo. Emva koko icareyeros izisa amaqanda kwindawo yokuqandusela ize ifumane umvuzo wayo ngokuxhomekeke ekubeni mangaphi amaqanda ewafumanayo kunye nokuba mangaphi amantshontsho aqanduselayo aphuma kwindlwane.

Kwakuyiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo apho la madoda manye athengisa la maqanda ngokungekho mthethweni, ekhupha iidola ezimbalwa kwindlwana nganye ukunika amadoda angazithembanga kwi-libido yawo ukomeleza ngakumbi. Ngoku, uninzi lwala maqanda akhuselwe; kwixesha elidlulileyo ngaphezu kwe-90% yamaqanda akhuselwe kwaye ngaphezu kwe-10,000 amantshontsho aqanduselweyo ayenze ngokukhuselekileyo emanzini ngomsebenzi weFFI, i-ICAPO, kunye namaqabane abo. Olu fudo lusajongene nezoyikiso ezininzi kwi-Padre Ramos Estuary nakuluhlu lwazo zonke. Ekuhlaleni, esinye sezona zoyikiso zinkulu kukunyuka ngokukhawuleza kweefama ze-shrimp ukuya kwi-mangrove.

Esinye sezixhobo i-FFI kunye ne-ICAPO enethemba lokusebenzisa ukukhusela ezi turtles kukuzisa amavolontiya kunye nabakhenkethi bendalo kule ndawo intle. A inkqubo entsha yamavolontiya inika izazi zebhayoloji ezisakhasayo ithuba lokuchitha iveki ukuya kwiinyanga ezimbalwa zisebenza neqela lasekuhlaleni ukulawula indawo yokuqandusela, ukuqokelela idatha kwiifudo, nokunceda ukufundisa uluntu malunga nokuba kutheni kubalulekile ukukhusela ezi fudo. Kubakhenkethi, akukho nqongophala yeendlela zokuzalisa zombini iimini nobusuku, ukusuka kwi-surfing, ukuqubha, ukuthatha inxaxheba kuhambo oluselunxwemeni lokuhlala, ukukhwela intaba, kunye ne-kayaking.

Ngentsasa yam yokugqibela ePadre Ramos, ndivuke kwangentseni ukuba ndibe ngumkhenkethi, ndiqeshe umkhokeli ukuba andithathe kuhambo lokuhamba ngekayaking kwihlathi le-mangrove. Umkhokeli wam kunye nam sabheqa kumjelo obanzi kwaye sinyuka ngendlela emxinwa eyandayo ecela umngeni kubuchule bam obulinganiselweyo bokuhamba. Embindini wendlela, sema kwindawo ethile saza senyuka induli encinane esiyibona kakuhle loo ndawo.

Ukusuka phezulu, ichweba, elikhuselwe njengendawo yokulondoloza indalo, lalikhangeleka likhuselekile. Esona siphako sicacileyo yayiyifama enkulu yeshrimps exande eyayimi ngaphandle kwigophe eligudileyo leendlela zendalo zamanzi. Inkoliso yeembaza zehlabathi ngoku ziveliswa ngolu hlobo, zikhuliswa kumazwe asakhasayo anemithetho embalwa yokukhusela amahlathi emithi exhomekeke kuwo izidalwa ezininzi. Ngoxa ndandinqumla umjelo obanzi kuhambo lokubuyela edolophini, ufudo oluncinane lwathi gqi emanzini ukuze luphefumle malunga neemitha ezingama-30 phambi kwam. Ndiyathanda ukucinga ukuba ibisithi “hasta luego”, ndide ndikwazi ukubuyela kwakhona kulomlingo uphuma kwikona yaseNicaragua.

IFauna kunye neFlora iwebhusayithi yeNicaragua

Ivolontiya ngale projekthi! -Yiza uthathe inxaxheba kule projekthi, unceda abaphandi basekhaya ukuba balawule iindawo zokuqandusela, iifudo zethegi, kunye nokukhulula amantshontsho. Iindleko ze-45 / ngosuku ezibandakanya ukutya kunye nokulala kwiikhabhinethi zendawo.

KHANGELA ooFudo bewuxhasa lo msebenzi ngeminikelo, bencedisa ekufuneni amavolontiya, nokufundisa abantu ngezoyikiso ezijamelene nazo olu fudo. Yenza umnikelo apha. Yonke idola enikelwe ngayo igcina amantshontsho ama-2 hawksbill!
