Umhlaba sisiPlanethi esiBlue
Bhiyozela uMhla woMhlaba kunye nathi ngokuhlonipha isizathu sokuba umhlaba ubizwe ngokuba yiplanethi eluhlaza - ulwandle! Ukugubungela iipesenti ezingama-71 zesijikelezi-langa sethu, ulwandle londla izigidi zabantu, luvelisa ioksijini esiyiphefumlayo, lulawula imozulu yethu, luxhasa iintlobo ngeentlobo zezilwanyana zasendle, kwaye ludibanisa uluntu kwihlabathi liphela.
Ihektare enye yengca yolwandle ixhasa iintlanzi ezingama-40,000 kunye nezigidi ezingama-50 zezilwanyana ezincinci ezingenamqolo eziquka oononkala, oonokrwece, iinkumba, nokunye.
Njengokuphela kwesiseko soluntu solwandle, umbono weSiseko soLwandle ngowolwandle oluhlaziyayo oluxhasa bonke ubomi eMhlabeni. Sisebenzela ukuphucula impilo yolwandlekazi lwehlabathi, ukomelela kwemozulu, kunye noqoqosho oluluhlaza. Qhubeka ufunda ku ulwandle utshintsho senza:
Blue Resilience – Eli phulo libonelela ngenkxaso kuluntu olujongene nowona mngcipheko mkhulu wokutshintsha kwemozulu. Kwezi ndawo, sisebenzela ukulondoloza nokubuyisela iindawo zokuhlala ezonakeleyo zekhabhoni eluhlaza njengengca yolwandle, iimangrove (imithi yaselunxwemeni), imigxobhozo yetyuwa kunye neingqaqa zekorale. Idla ngokubizwa ngokuba zii-blue carbon ecosystems, zidlala indima ebalulekileyo ekubambiseni ikharbhon, ukukhusela amanxweme kukhukuliseko kunye nezaqhwithi kwaye ziyindawo yokuhlala yeentlobo ezininzi ezibalulekileyo zolwandle. Funda malunga nomsebenzi wethu wamva nje kwi Mekhsikho, iPuerto Rico, ICuba kunye neDominican Republic ukuba Ulwandle imigama eyenziwa luluntu ekubuyiseleni le nkqubo yendalo.
ULingano lweNzululwazi yoLwandle -Sisebenzisana nabaphandi ukuyila izixhobo zenzululwazi ezifikelelekayo kwaye zisifake ezandleni zoluntu oludingayo ukulinganisa ukutshintsha kweemeko zolwandle, kuquka ne-asidi yolwandle. Isuka e EUnited States ukuya eFiji ukuya eFrench Polynesia, Ulwandle indlela esikhulisa ngayo ulwazi kwihlabathi liphela ngokubaluleka kokugxila ekuhlaleni ukuze sikhonze ngcono uluntu lwehlabathi.
iiplastiki -Sisebenzela ukutshintsha indlela iiplastiki zenziwa ngayo kwaye sikhuthaze imigaqo-nkqubo yohlengahlengiso kwinkqubo yomgaqo-nkqubo, njengaleyo kuxoxwa ngayo kwiSivumelwano sePlastiki seGlobal. Sizibandakanya ekhaya nakwihlabathi jikelele ukuze siguqule incoko yababini ukusuka ekugxininiseni kuphela kwingxaki yeplastiki ukuya ekubeni samkele indlela ejolise kwisisombululo ephinda ivavanye iindlela zokuvelisa iplastiki. ulwandle sinjani ukunxibelelana nabachaphazelekayo kwihlabathi liphela ngalo mba ubalulekileyo.
Fundisa uLwandle -Siphuhlisa ulwazi ngolwandle ukulungiselela ootitshala baselwandle - ngaphakathi nangaphandle kumagumbi okufundisela esintu. Sivala umsantsa wolwazi ukuya kwisenzo ngokutshintsha indlela esifundisa ngayo malunga nolwandle sibe izixhobo kunye nobuchule obukhuthaza iintshukumo ezintsha zolwandle. ulwandle le qhubela phambili elona nyathelo lethu litsha wenza kwisithuba sokufunda nokubhala elwandle.
NgoMhla woMhlaba (kunye yonke imihla!), bonisa inkxaso yakho kulwandlekazi ukusinceda ukuba sifikelele kumbono wethu wolwandle olusempilweni kumntu wonke. Ungasinceda ukuba siqhubeke sisenza ubambiswano oludibanisa bonke abantu kwiindawo esisebenza kuzo kulwazi, ubugcisa, kunye nemithombo yemali abayidingayo ukuze bafezekise iinjongo zabo zokulawula ulwandle.
