I-Gone Wild e-Salamanca

Ngu: Mark J. Spalding (The Ocean Foundation) kanye noShari Sant Plummer (Code Blue Foundation)
Inguqulo yale bhulogi yaqala ukuvela ku-National Geographic's I-Ocean Views.

Sibhala ngemuva kokuchitha izinsuku ezimatasa eSalamanca lapho mina no-Shari sibambe iqhaza ku-Wild10, i-10th World Wilderness Congress enetimu ethi “Ukwenza Umhlaba Ube Indawo Engajwayelekile”. I-Salamanca iyidolobha laseSpain elakhiwe amakhulu eminyaka lapho ukuhamba emigwaqweni kuyisifundo somlando ophilayo. Unyaka wezi-2013 uphawula unyaka wawo wama-25 njengeNdawo Yamagugu Omhlaba ye-UNESCO. Kwakuyisimo esimangalisayo - ukulondolozwa okubonakalayo kwefa elide lomuntu kusukela ebhulohweni laseRoma ukuya enyuvesi osekuyiminyaka engaba ngu-800 ikhona. Kukhona futhi ifa lemizamo yezombangazwe yokulawula ulwandle nezindawo zethu zasendle: ISalamanca ingaphansi kwehora ukusuka lapho imibuso emibili emikhulu yomhlaba, iPortugal neSpain, yasayina iSivumelwano Sango-1494 saseTordesillas lapho zahlukaniselana khona amazwe asanda kutholwa ngaphandle. IYurophu ngokudweba umugqa ngokoqobo kumephu yoLwandlekazi i-Atlantic. Ngakho-ke, bekuyindawo efanelekile yokukhuluma ngohlobo oluhlukile lwefa lomuntu: Ifa lokulondoloza umhlaba wasendle lapho singakwazi khona.

Abangaphezu kwenkulungwane abahambele i-Wild10 abavela emikhakheni eyahlukene yempilo nasezikhungweni bahlangane ukuze baxoxe ngokubaluleka kogwadule. Amalungu eqembu ahlanganisa ososayensi nezikhulu zikahulumeni, abaholi be-NGO nabathwebuli bezithombe. Isithakazelo sethu esivamile sasisezindaweni zokugcina zasendle kanye nendlela engcono kakhulu yokuqinisekisa ukuvikeleka kwazo manje nasesikhathini esizayo, ikakhulukazi uma kubhekwa izingcindezi eziningi ezitholwa abantu ngempilo yabo.

Ithrekhi ye-Wild Seas and Waters ibe nemihlangano eminingana yokusebenza mayelana nezindaba zasolwandle okuhlanganisa ne-Marine Wilderness workshop yokusebenzisana evulwe nguDkt. Sylvia Earle. Umsebenzi weNorth America Intergovernmental Wilderness Protected Areas wethulwa, ochaza i-Marine Wilderness futhi ubeka izinjongo zokuvikela nokuphathwa kwalezi zindawo. Umhla ziyisi-9 kuMfumfu bekuwusuku oluphambene nengoma ethi Wild Speak, ehlanganisa ukuxhumana kwezokongiwa kwemvelo okuxhaswe yi-International League of Conservation Photographers. Abathwebuli bezithombe abasebenza endaweni yasolwandle banikeze izethulo ezibukwayo ezimangalisayo kanye nezingxoxo zephaneli ezigqamisa ukusetshenziswa kwamathuluzi emidiya ekongiweni kwamazwe ngamazwe.

Sifunde ngemizamo yokuvikela i-coral entekenteke e-Cordelia Banks eHonduras ephumelele. Ngemva kweminyaka eminingi yemizamo yososayensi nama-NGO, uHulumeni waseHonduras uvikele le ndawo ngesonto eledlule! Inkulumo eyisihluthulelo ye-Wild Speak kazakwethu u-Robert Glenn Ketchum kuMayini iPebble e-Alaska ibikhuthaza. Ubushoshovu bakhe beminyaka eminingi esebenzisa izithombe zakhe buthela izithelo njengoba iningi lezinkampani ezitshala imali kule mayini yegolide ecekela phansi ecekelwe phansi endaweni ewugwadule ehlanzekile manje isiphumile. Kubukeka kunethemba lokuthi le phrojekthi izogcina imisiwe!

Yize kunobandlululo oselunesikhathi eside lukhona emhlabeni kule minyaka eyishumi yokuqala yalo mhlangano waminyaka yonke, ukugxila kuka-1 kochungechunge lwamaphaneli angu-2013 kwakuyihlane lethu lasolwandle lomhlaba wonke—indlela yokulivikela, ukuphoqelela ukuvikela, kanye nendlela yokukhuthaza ukuvikela okwengeziwe ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. . Kwakukhona amaphaneli angaphezu kuka-14 avela emazweni angu-50 ayehlangene ukuze aphendule le mibuzo neminye yasogwadule lolwandle. Kuyajabulisa ukubona lokhu kunakekela okuvelayo kwesimo esiyingqayizivele sehlane lolwandle, okubandakanya izindawo zamazwe ngamazwe ezingaphandle kwezindawo zikahulumeni ngamunye, kanye nokuguguleka kokuvikelwa kwayo okungahlosiwe ngenxa yokungafinyeleleki kwayo kwangaphambili.

I-Wild Speak ifake “Abesifazane Basendle” nsuku zonke, enkundleni nangemuva kwezigcawu. UShari ubambe iqhaza kumaphaneli amaningana kanye noSylvia Earle, uKathy Moran waseNational Geographic, uFay Crevosy waseWild Coast, u-Alison Barratt ovela ku-Khaled bin Sultan Living Ocean Foundation, nabanye abaningi.

Kithina e-The Ocean Foundation, kube yilungelo ukuba nenani lamaphrojekthi ethu nabantu abavezwe!

• UMichael Stocker Ucwaningo Lokongiwa Kolwandle (ekungcolisweni komsindo wolwandle), kanye nekaJohn Weller Iphrojekthi yeLast Ocean (ifuna isivikelo soLwandle lwaseRoss e-Antarctica) lapho amaphrojekthi amabili axhaswe ngokwezimali.
• I-Grupo Tortuguero, kanye ne-Future Ocean Alliance kwakuyizinhlangano ezimbili ezisiza abampofu zakwamanye amazwe esibamba ngazo ama-akhawunti “abangane” e-TOF.
• Njengoba kuphawuliwe ngenhla, isihlabani sethu seBhodi Lokweluleka, uSylvia Earle wavula futhi wavala izinkundla zokucobelelana ngolwazi lwe-Wild Seas and Waters, futhi wanikeza amazwibela okuvala ayo yonke ingqungquthela ye-Wild10.
• UMark uhlonishwe ngokukhuluma ngomsebenzi wethu neWestern Hemisphere Migratory Species Initiative, kanye nokuphoqelelwa kwezindawo ezivikelekile zasolwandle.
• UMark ukwazile ukuhlangana nabalingisi abasha futhi aphinde axhumane nabangane abahle kanye nozakwabo we-TOF wesikhathi eside okuhlanganisa uFay Crevoshay, Serge Dedina, Exequiel Ezcurra, Karen Garrison, Asher Jay, Xavier Pastor, Buffy Redsecker, Linda Sheehan, Isabel Torres de Noronha, Dolores Wessen , u-Emily Young, noDoug Yurick

Izinyathelo Okulandelayo

Uma ucabanga nge-Wild11, kungaba kuhle ukuklama umhlangano ngendlela engazange ihlukaniswe yaba amathrekhi olwandle kanye nehlane eliwumhlaba, futhi ngaleyo ndlela kuvunyelwe ukwabelana okuqondile okwengeziwe. Uma sonke singafunda empumelelweni, sabelane ngezifundo futhi sigqugquzeleke, inkomfa elandelayo ingafeza okukhulu nakakhulu. Sihlala sinethemba lokuthi futhi kuyisonto elenza isisekelo sokuvikela okusha kwefa lethu lolwandle lwasendle.

Isifundo esisodwa esingazithatha ku-Wild10 ukuzinikela okumangalisayo kwalabo abasebenzela ukulondoloza ifa lethu lomhlaba wonke eliwugwadule. Esinye isifundo esithathwayo ukuthi ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu kuthinta izitshalo, izilwane, ngisho nendawo yezindawo ezikude kakhulu ehlane. Ngakho-ke, akunakwenzeka ukuxoxa nganoma yiziphi izindaba zokuvikela ihlane ngaphandle kokucabangela ukuthi kwenzekani nokuthi yini engenzeka. Futhi ekugcineni, kukhona ithemba kanye nethuba lokutholakala-futhi yilokho okusivusa sonke ekuseni.
