Ukubuyiselwa kweMangrove okuholwa ngumphakathi e-Xcalak, eMexico

Ithimba lethu lisanda kuvakashela e-Xcalak, e-Mexico njengengxenye ye-The Ocean Foundation I-Blue Resilience Initiative (BRI). Kungani? Ukuze singcolise izandla namabhuzu ethu - ngokwezwi nezwi - kwenye yephrojekthi yethu yokubuyisela imihlume.

Cabanga ngendawo lapho imihlume ime iqinile khona lapho ishaya umoya wolwandle kanye nendawo yesibili ngobukhulu emhlabeni - i-Mesoamerican Reef - ivikela umphakathi ogwini lwase-Caribbean, yakha i-Xcalak National Reef Park. 

Lowo nguXcalak ngamafuphi. Indawo yezindawo ezishisayo etholakala amahora amahlanu ukusuka e-Cancún, kodwa izwe elikude nendawo yezivakashi ephithizelayo.

Ngeshwa, ngisho nepharadesi alivikelekile ekushintsheni kwesimo sezulu nasekwakhiweni. I-Xcalak's mangrove ecosystem, ikhaya lezinhlobo ezine zomhlume, isengozini. Yilapho le phrojekthi ingena khona. 

Kule minyaka embalwa edlule, sihlanganyele nomphakathi wendawo we-Xcalak, waseMexico Ikhomishini Yezindawo Ezivikelekile Zemvelo (CONANP), Isikhungo Sokucwaninga Nezifundo Ezithuthukisiwe se-National Polytechnic Institute - Mérida (CINVESTAV), I-Programa Mexicano del Carbono (PMC), kanye I-National Autonomous University yaseMexico (UNAM) ukubuyisela amahektha angaphezu kuka-500 omhlume kule ndawo.  

Lawa maqhawe asogwini awawona nje amahle; badlala indima ebalulekile ekulweni nokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu. Ngenqubo ebizwa ngokuthi i-carbon sequestration, badonsa ikhabhoni emoyeni bese beyivalela enhlabathini ngaphansi kwezimpande zabo - ingxenye ebalulekile yomjikelezo wekhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. 

Ukubhujiswa KweMangrove: Ukufakaza Imithelela Yokushintsha Kwesimo Sezulu

Lapho singena edolobheni, umonakalo wabonakala ngokushesha. 

Umgwaqo udlula endaweni enodaka lapho kwake kwaba khona ixhaphozi lomhlume. Ngeshwa, ukwakhiwa komgwaqo kuphazamise ukuhamba kwemvelo kwamanzi olwandle phakathi kwemihlume. Ukwengeza inhlamba ekulimaleni, iziphepho zamuva zaletha inhlabathi eyengeziwe, zavimba ukugeleza kwamanzi nakakhulu. Ngaphandle kwamanzi olwandle ahlanzekile okugeza uhlelo, imisoco, ukungcola kanye nosawoti kuyanqwabelana emanzini amile, kuphendule amaxhaphozi omhlume abe yizindawo ezinodaka.

Le ndawo iyisivivinyo kuwo wonke amanye amaphrojekthi e-Xcalak - impumelelo lapha ivula indlela yomsebenzi kumahekthare angu-500+ asele.

Ukusebenzisana Komphakathi: Isihluthulelo Sempumelelo Ekubuyiseleni Umhlume

Ngosuku lwethu lokuqala olugcwele e-Xcalak, sazibonela mathupha ukuthi iphrojekthi iqhubeka kanjani. Kuyisibonelo esihle sokusebenzisana nokuzibandakanya komphakathi. 

E-workshop ekuseni, sezwa mayelana nokuqeqeshwa kwezandla okwenzekayo kanye nokusebenzisana ne-CONANP kanye nabacwaningi e-CINVESTAV abasekela abantu bendawo be-Xcalak ukuba babe ngabaqaphi begceke labo. 

Njengoba behlome ngamafosholo nolwazi lwesayensi, abagcini nje ngokususa inzika futhi babuyisela amanzi emihlumeni, baphinde baqaphe impilo ye-ecosystem yabo endleleni.

Bafunde okuningi ngokuthi obani abahlala phakathi kwemihlume. Zihlanganisa izinhlobo zezinyoni ezingu-16 (ezine ezisengozini, eyodwa esengozini), izinyamazane, ama-ocelots, impungushe empunga - ngisho nama-jaguar! Imihlume ye-Xcalak igcwele ukuphila.

Sibheke Phambili Ekubuyiselweni Kwe-Xcalak's Future Mangrove

Njengoba umsebenzi uqhubeka, izinyathelo ezilandelayo ziwukwandisa ukumba echibini eliseduze elizungezwe imihlume edinga kakhulu ukugeleza kwamanzi amaningi. Ekugcineni, imizamo yokumba izoxhuma ichweba endaweni enodaka esiyishayele sisendleleni eya edolobheni. Lokhu kuzosiza ukugeleza kwamanzi njengoba kwake kwenza kuyo yonke i-ecosystem.

Sikhuthazwe ukuzinikela komphakathi futhi asikwazi ukulinda ukubona inqubekelaphambili eyenziwe ekuvakasheni kwethu okulandelayo. 

Ngokuhlangene, asigcini nje ngokubuyisela i-ecosystem yomhlume. Sibuyisela ithemba lekusasa eliqhakazile, isicathulo esisodwa esinodaka ngesikhathi.
