I-Caribbean Biodiversity Fund Iklomelisa ngo-$1.9M ku-Ocean Foundation Yezisombululo Ezisekelwe Kwimvelo eCuba naseDominican Republic.

Washington, DC, September 7^th, 2021 - I-Caribbean Biodiversity Fund (CBF) imemezele u-$1.9 million wokuxhasa i-The Ocean Foundation (TOF) ukuze igxile emisebenzini yokuthuthukisa ugu eCuba naseDominican Republic. I I-CBF's Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) Uhlelo lwezibonelelo lugxile kumaphrojekthi asebenzisa izinhlobonhlobo zemvelo kanye nezinsizakalo ze-ecosystem ukusiza imiphakathi yasogwini ikwazi ukubhekana nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, ukunciphisa izinhlekelele, kanye nokwakha imvelo eqinile. Uhlelo lwe-EbA luxhaswe ngezimali i-International Climate Initiative (IKI) yoMnyango Wezemvelo WaseJalimane Wendawo, Ukongiwa Kwemvelo, kanye Nokuphepha Kwenuzi ngokusebenzisa i-KfW.

Isibonelelo sikahulumeni siyisibonelelo sikahulumeni esikhulu kunazo zonke emlandweni we-TOF futhi yakhela phezu kwesisekelo somsebenzi owenziwa yi-TOF's. I-CariMar futhi I-Blue Resilience Initiatives, ezichithe ishumi leminyaka elidlule zigxile ekuthuthukiseni ukumelana nesimo sezulu kuso sonke isifunda saseCaribbean. I-TOF futhi ingesinye sezinhlangano ezingenzi nzuzo zemvelo ezisebenza isikhathi eside e-US ezisebenza eCuba.

I-Cuba kanye ne-Dominican Republic babelana ngezinhlobo nezindawo eziningi ezisogwini ezisongelwa ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Ukukhuphuka kwezinga lolwandle, ukucwazimula kwamakhorali kanye nezifo, kanye nokwanda okuphawulekayo kokuxhunywa okuvela sargassum ulwelwe yizinkinga ezilimazayo kuzo zombili izizwe. Ngale phrojekthi, womabili la mazwe azokwabelana ngezixazululo ezisekelwe emvelweni ezibonakale zisebenza ngempumelelo esifundeni.

“I-Cuba ne-Dominican Republic amazwe amabili esiqhingi esikhulu kunazo zonke e-Caribbean futhi anomlando ofanayo nokuncika olwandle ekudobeni, ezokuvakasha nokuvikela ugu. Ngokuphana nombono we-CBF bazokwazi ukusebenzisana ezisombululweni ezintsha zokwakha ukuqina emiphakathini yabo egudle ugu.”

E-Cuba, amaphrojekthi enziwe abe nokwenzeka ngenxa yalesi sibonelelo ahlanganisa ukusebenzisana noMnyango Wezesayensi, Ubuchwepheshe Nezemvelo waseCuba ukuze kubuyiselwe indawo ehlala imihlume engamakhulu futhi kuhileleke nabasebenzi baseGuanahacabibes National Park emizamweni yokuthuthukisa ukubuyisela amakhorali okwakhiwa kwezixhobo zamatshe nokubuyisela ukugeleza kwemvelo yomhlume. E-Jardines de la Reina National Park, i-TOF kanye neNyuvesi yaseHavana izoqala iphrojekthi entsha yokubuyisela amakhorali ngenkathi siqhubeka nomsebenzi wethu weminyaka eminingi ekuqapheni impilo yamakhorali.

UMark J. Spalding, uMongameli we-The Ocean Foundation, ukuqinisekisile ukuthi “siyahlonishwa futhi siyakhuthazeka ngokuqaphela kwe-CBF umsebenzi wethu esifundeni saseCaribbean. Lesi sibonelelo sizovumela i-TOF kanye nozakwethu ukuthi bakhe amandla endawo ukuze basekele ukumelana neziphepho ezizayo ezithuthukisiwe zokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu, kuqinisekiswe ukuvikeleka kokudla okukhudlwana, nokugcina amanani abalulekile ezokuvakasha kwemvelo - ukuthuthukisa umnotho oluhlaza nokudala amathuba emisebenzi - ngaleyo ndlela enze izimpilo zabantu labo abahlala eCuba nase-DR ephephile futhi enempilo.”

E-Dominican Republic, i-TOF izosebenza nayo I-SECORE International ukutshala kabusha amakhorali emanzini ase-Bayahibe eduze kwase-Parque del Este National Park kusetshenziswa izindlela ezintsha zokusakaza ucansi ezizowasiza ukuthi amelane nokuphuma mhlophe nezifo. Le phrojekthi futhi inweba phezu kobudlelwane obukhona be-TOF I-Grogenics ukuguqula inkathazo sargassum kube umquba ozosetshenziswa imiphakathi yezolimo - ukususa isidingo somanyolo obizayo osuselwa ku-petroleum onomthelela ekungcoliseni izakhi kanye nokucekela phansi imvelo yasogwini.

I-Ocean Foundation ijabule kakhulu ngokuqala lo mzamo weminyaka emithathu okuhloswe ngawo ukushintshana phakathi kososayensi, odokotela, umkhakha wezokuvakasha kanye nohulumeni. Sithemba ukuthi lo mzamo uzoletha imibono emisha kakhulu yokwakha amandla okumelana nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu emazweni amabili amakhulu e-Caribbean.

Mayelana ne-Ocean Foundation

Njengokuphela kwesisekelo somphakathi solwandle, umgomo we-Ocean Foundation 501(c)(3) uwukusekela, ukuqinisa, nokukhuthaza lezo zinhlangano ezizinikele ekubuyiseleni emuva inkambiso yokucekelwa phansi kwezindawo zolwandle emhlabeni jikelele. Sigxilisa ubuchwepheshe bethu obuhlangene ezinsongweni ezivelayo ukuze sikhiqize izixazululo ezisezingeni eliphezulu kanye namasu angcono okusebenzisa.

Isungulwe ngo-2012, i-Caribbean Biodiversity Fund (CBF) iwukufezekiswa kombono onesibindi wokudala uxhaso oluthembekile, lwesikhathi eside lokongiwa kwemvelo kanye nentuthuko esimeme esifundeni saseCaribbean. I-CBF kanye neqembu le-National Conservation Trust Funds (NCTFs) ndawonye bakha i-Caribbean Sustainable Finance Architecture.

Mayelana ne-SECORE International

Umgomo we-SECORE International uwukudala nokwabelana ngamathuluzi nobuchwepheshe bokubuyisela ngokuqhubekayo izixhobo zamakhorali emhlabeni wonke. Ihlangene nabalingani, i-Secore International iqale Uhlelo Lokubuyiselwa Kwamakhorali Emhlaba Wonke ngo-2017 ukuze kusheshiswe ukuthuthukiswa kwamathuluzi amasha, izindlela namasu ngokugxila ekwandiseni ukusebenza kahle kwezenzo zokubuyisela kanye nokuhlanganiswa kwamasu okuthuthukisa ukuqina njengoba etholakala.

Mayelana ne-Grogenics

Umgomo we-Grogenics ukulondoloza ukuhlukahluka kanye nobuningi bezinto eziphilayo zasolwandle. Lokhu bakwenza ngokubhekana nenqwaba yezinto ezikhathazayo emiphakathini yasogwini ngokuvuna sargassum olwandle ngaphambi kokuba ifike ogwini. Umquba ophilayo we-Grogenics ubuyisela inhlabathi ephilayo ngokubuyisela inani elikhulu lekhabhoni emhlabathini nasezitshalweni. Ngokusebenzisa izinqubo zokuvuselela kabusha, umgomo wokugcina uwukuthwebula amathani amaningana e-metric e-carbon dioxide ezongenisa imali eyengeziwe kubalimi noma izimboni zamahhotela ngokusebenzisa i-carbon offset.
