I-Ocean Foundation kanye ne-New England Aquarium Partner ne-Network of Engaged International Donors for Ocean-Focused Giving Circle

Naphezu kokusebenza njengosinki wekhabhoni omkhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni kanye nesilawuli sezulu esikhulu kunazo zonke, ulwandle lungenye yezindawo ezitshalwe imali encane kakhulu emhlabeni. Ulwandle lumboza ama-71% omhlaba. Kodwa-ke, ibala kuphela cishe i-7% yengqikithi yokusiza kwezemvelo e-United States. Kusukela emiphakathini yasendaweni yasogwini ebhekene nobunzima obungalingani bokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu, kuya ekushintsheni ezimakethe zomhlaba wonke emhlabeni jikelele, ulwandle, kanye nendlela isintu esiluphatha ngayo, lokhu kunemiphumela edabukisayo cishe kuwo wonke amagumbi omhlaba. 

Ngenxa yalokho, umphakathi womhlaba wonke usuqala ukuthatha isinyathelo.

I-United Nations isimemezele ukuthi i-2021-2030 iyona Ishumi Leminyaka Lesayensi Yasolwandle Yentuthuko Esimeme. Abaphathi bempahla nezikhungo zezezimali baqoqana a I-Sustainable Blue Economy, kuyilapho imiphakathi yasendaweni yeziqhingi iqhubeka nokubonisa izibonelo eziphawulekayo zokubhekana nesimo sezulu. Sekuyisikhathi sokuba iPhilanthropy nayo ithathe isinyathelo.

Ngakho-ke, ngokokuqala ngqa, i-Network of Engaged International Donors (NEID) ibizele Umbuthano Wokunikeza Ogxile Olwandle (Umbuthano) ukuze uhlole ukuhlangana kokugcinwa kolwandle, impilo yendawo kanye nokumelana nesimo sezulu ngokuhlola izinsongo ezinkulu kakhulu olwandle lwethu lomhlaba izixazululo ezisebenza kahle kakhulu ezisatshalaliswa endaweni. Kusukela ekulawuleni isimo sezulu kuya ekuhlinzekeni ukuvikeleka kokudla ezigidini zezigidi zabantu emhlabeni wonke, lo Mbuthano wawusekelwe enkolelweni eqinile yokuthi kufanele sitshale olwandle olunempilo uma sifisa ukuba nekusasa elinempilo. Umbuthano ubugqugquzelwa ngu-Jason Donofrio ovela ku-The Ocean Foundation kanye no-Elizabeth Stephenson ovela ku-New England Aquarium. 

I-Network of Engaged International Donors (NEID Global) iyinethiwekhi eyingqayizivele yokufunda kontanga esekelwe e-Boston esebenzela umphakathi wabashisekeli bokuphila emhlabeni wonke abashisekayo nabazinikele emhlabeni wonke. Ngokusebenzisa amasu okuxhumana, amathuba emfundo, kanye nokwabelana ngolwazi silwela uguquko lomphakathi. Amalungu e-NEID Global akhuthaza ubudlelwano obulinganayo, afunde komunye nomunye, axhumane ngokujulile, ayakhuthazane, futhi asebenze ndawonye ukuze akhe umhlaba lapho wonke umuntu engachuma khona.

I-New England Aquarium (NEAq) iyimbangela yoshintsho embulungeni yonke ngokuzibandakanya komphakathi, ukuzibophezela ekongiweni kwezilwane zasolwandle, ubuholi kwezemfundo, ucwaningo olusha lwesayensi, kanye nokumela okuphumelelayo kwezilwandle ezibalulekile nezidlangile. U-Elizabeth usebenza njengoMqondisi weMarine Conservation Action Fund (MCAF), esekela impumelelo yesikhathi eside, umthelela, kanye nomthelela wabaholi bezokongiwa kolwandle emazweni anemali engenayo ephansi naphakathi emhlabeni wonke.  

I-Ocean Foundation (TOF) yasungulwa ngo-2002 njengokuwukuphela kwesisekelo somphakathi solwandle esinomgomo wokusekela, ukuqinisa, nokukhuthaza lezo zinhlangano ezizinikele ekubuyiseleni emuva inkambiso yokucekelwa phansi kwezindawo zolwandle emhlabeni jikelele. U-Jason Donofrio usebenza njengeSikhulu Esibhekele Ubudlelwano Bangaphandle esisingatha ubudlelwano bomphakathi nezinkampani, ubudlelwano babanikeli kanye nabezindaba. U-Jason uphinde abe nguSihlalo we-Climate Strong Islands Network (CSIN) kanye namaKomidi Okuthuthukisa Inethiwekhi Yeziqhingi Zase-2030. Ngomuntu siqu, usebenza njengePhini likaSihlalo kanye noSihlalo Wokuthuthukiswa Kwebhodi Labaqondisi le-The School of Architecture (TSOA) elasungulwa nguFrank Lloyd Wright.  

Umbuthano udlule ochungechungeni lwezinyanga eziyisithupha, ugxile kuzo zombili izihloko eziqondene nolwandle (okuhlanganisa i-blue carbon, ocean acidification, ukuphepha kokudla, ukungcoliswa kwepulasitiki, izindlela zokuziphilisa zendawo, ukumelana nesimo sezulu, idiplomacy yolwandle, imiphakathi yeziqhingi, ukuvikelwa kwezilwane ezisengozini), njengoba kanye namanani abalulekile okunikeza imali. Ekupheleni koMbuthano, umfelandawonye wabanikezeli abangaba ngu-25 kanye nezisekelo zomndeni zahlangana futhi zahlinzeka ngenani lezibonelelo emiphakathini yasendaweni ehlanganisa izindinganiso nezinto ezibalulekile zoMbuthano. Iphinde yanikeza ithuba lokuthi abaxhasi bafunde okwengeziwe njengoba begxile ekunikeleni kwabo kwaminyaka yonke.

Amanye amanani ayisihluthulelo okunikezwayo ahlonzwe kule nqubo bekungamaphrojekthi noma izinhlangano ezibonisa indlela ehlelekile ngemiphumela esheshayo, ezomdabu noma eziholwa endaweni, okuholwa abesifazane noma ukubonisa ukulingana ngokobulili ngaphakathi kwamazinga okwenza izinqumo enhlangano, kanye nokubonisa izindlela zokwandisa ukufinyelela noma ukulingana. ukuze imiphakathi isebenzise izixazululo zendawo. Umbuthano uphinde wagxila ekususeni imigoqo yokuthi izinhlangano zendawo zithole izimali zosizo, njengokwesekwa okungakhawulelwe kanye nokwenza lula inqubo yesicelo. Umbuthano ulethe ochwepheshe bendawo abaphambili bagxile ezindabeni ezibalulekile zolwandle ukuze kutholakale izisombululo kanye nabantu abasebenza ukuzenza.
