NguJessie Neumann, Umsizi Wezokuxhumana

UMashi yiNyanga Yomlando Wabesifazane, isikhathi sokugubha impumelelo yabesifazane kwezenhlalo, ezomnotho, ezamasiko nezombusazwe! Umkhakha wezokongiwa kwemvelo olwandle, owake wabuswa ngabesilisa, manje ubona abesifazane abaningi bengena ezinhlwini zawo. Kunjani Ukuba Owesifazane Emanzini? Yini esingayifunda kulaba bantu abanothando nabazinikele? Ukuze sigubhe Inyanga Yomlando Wabesifazane, sixoxisane nabalondolozi bemvelo besifazane abambalwa, kusukela kumaciko nabatshuzi kuya kubabhali nabacwaningi bezindawo, ukuze sizwe mayelana nolwazi lwabo oluyingqayizivele emhlabeni wokongiwa kwemvelo olwandle, kokubili ngaphansi nangemuva kwedeski.

Sebenzisa #WomenInTheWater & @oceanfdn ku-Twitter ukuze uhlanganyele engxoxweni.

Abesifazane Bethu Emanzini:

• Asher Jay ingumlondolozi wemvelo kanye ne-National Geographic Emerging Explorer, esebenzisa idizayini ephusile, ubuciko be-multimedia, izincwadi, nezifundo ukuze akhuthaze isenzo somhlaba wonke sokulwa nokushushumbiswa kwezilwane zasendle ngokungekho emthethweni, ukuthuthukisa izinkinga zemvelo, nokukhuthaza izimbangela zobuntu.
• U-Anne Marie Reichman ungumsubathi wezemidlalo yasemanzini okhokhelwayo kanye nenxusa lase-Ocean.
• Ayana Elizabeth Johnson ungumxhumanisi ozimele wamakhasimende kuwo wonke ama-philanthropy, ama-NGO, nabaqalayo. Une-PhD yakhe kubhayoloji yasolwandle futhi wayenguMqondisi Omkhulu we-The Waitt Institute.
• Erin Ashe wasungula ngokuhlanganyela ucwaningo nokongiwa kwe-Oceans Initiative engenzi nzuzo futhi muva nje uthole i-PhD yakhe eNyuvesi yase-St. Andrews, e-Scotland. Ucwaningo lwakhe lugqugquzelwa isifiso sokusebenzisa isayensi ukwenza imithelela ebonakalayo yokongiwa kwemvelo.
• UJuliet Eilperin ungumbhali futhi IWashington Post's Isikhulu se-White House Bureau. Ungumbhali wezincwadi ezimbili - eyodwa emayelana noshaka (Demon Fish: Travels Through the Hidden World of Sharks), nenye ngeCongress.
• UKelly Stewart ungusosayensi wocwaningo osebenza ku-Marine Turtle Genetics Programme e-NOAA futhi ohola iphrojekthi ye-Sea Turtle Bycatch lapha e-The Ocean Foundation. Omunye umzamo omkhulu owenziwa u-Kelly ugxile ekuthatheni iminwe ngofuzo izimfudu ze-leatherback ezichanyuselwa njengoba zisuka ogwini ngemva kokuphuma ezidlekeni zazo, ngenjongo yokunquma ubudala ukuya ekuvuthweni kwama-leatherback.
• Oriana Poindexter ungumtshuzi omangalisayo, umthwebuli wezithombe ongaphansi kwamanzi futhi okwamanje ucwaninga ngezomnotho ezimakethe zomhlaba wonke zokudla kwasolwandle, egcizelela ekukhetheni kwabathengi/ukuzimisela ukukhokha ezimakethe zase-US, Mexico nase-Japan.
• Rocky Sanchez Tirona uyiPhini likaMongameli we-Rare e-Philippine, ehola ithimba labantu abacishe babe ngu-30 abasebenza ekuguquleni abadobi abadobela ukuziphilisa ngokubambisana nomasipala bendawo.
• Wendy Williams umsunguli we I-Kraken: Isayensi Enelukuluku, Ejabulisayo, Nephazamisa Kancane Yesquid futhi usanda kukhipha incwadi yakhe entsha, Ihhashi: The Epic History.

Sitshele kancane ngomsebenzi wakho njengomlondolozi wemvelo.

Erin Ashe – Ngiyisazi sebhayoloji yokongiwa kwasolwandle — ngisebenza ngokukhethekile ocwaningweni ngemikhomo namahlengethwa. Ngasungula ngokuhlanganyela i-Oceans Initiative nomyeni wami (Rob Williams). Senza amaphrojekthi ocwaningo anomqondo wokongiwa kwemvelo, ikakhulukazi ePacific Northwest, kodwa nasemhlabeni jikelele. Nge-pHD yami, ngafunda amahlengethwa anezinhlangothi ezimhlophe eBritish Columbia. Ngisaqhubeka ngenza umsebenzi kulo mkhakha, futhi mina noRob sibambisene kumaphrojekthi aphathelene nomsindo wolwandle nokubamba okungasogwini. Siphinde siqhubeke nokufunda ngemithelela ye-anthropogenic emikhomeni ebulalayo, e-US naseCanada.

Ayana Elizabeth Johnson - Njengamanje ngingumxhumanisi ozimele namakhasimende kuwo wonke ama-philanthropy, ama-NGO, nabaqalayo. Ngeseka ukuthuthukiswa kwamasu, inqubomgomo, kanye nezokuxhumana ezokongiwa kolwandle. Kuyajabulisa ngempela ukucabanga ngezinselele zokongiwa kolwandle kanye namathuba ngokusebenzisa lawa malensi amathathu ahluke kakhulu. Futhi ngiyisakhamuzi e-TED ngisebenza ngenkulumo kanye nezindatshana ezithile mayelana nekusasa lokuphathwa kolwandle.

Kelly Stewart - Ngiyawuthanda umsebenzi wami. Ngikwazile ukuhlanganisa uthando lwami lokubhala nokwenza isayensi. Ngifunda izimfudu zasolwandle ikakhulukazi manje, kodwa nginentshisekelo kukho konke ukuphila kwemvelo. Ingxenye yesikhathi, ngisenkundleni ngibhala amanothi, ngibheka, futhi ngisebenza nezimfudu zasolwandle ogwini oluhlala izidleke. Enye ingxenye yesikhathi ngihlaziya idatha, ngisebenzisa amasampula elebhu kanye namaphepha okubhala. Ngisebenza kakhulu ne-Marine Turtle Genetics Programme e-NOAA - eSouthwest Fisheries Science Center eLa Jolla, CA. Sisebenza emibuzweni ethinta ngokuqondile izinqumo zabaphathi ngokusebenzisa izakhi zofuzo ukuze siphendule imibuzo emayelana nezimfudu zasolwandle - lapho kukhona khona abantu ngabanye, yini esongela lezo zibalo (isb., ukubanjwa kwezinhlanzi) kanye nokuthi ziyanda noma ziyancipha yini.

U-Anne Marie Reichman - Ngingumsubathi okhokhelwayo wezemidlalo yasemanzini kanye nenxusa lasolwandle. Ngiqeqeshe abanye kwezemidlalo yami kusukela ngineminyaka engu-13 ubudala, engikubiza ngokuthi “ukwabelana ngesitoko”. Ngizwa isidingo sokuxhuma nezimpande zami futhi (u-Anne Marie ungowokudabuka e-Holland), ngaqala ukuhlela nokugijima i-SUP 11-City Tour ngo-2008; umcimbi wezinsuku ezi-5 wokugwedla (amamayela angu-138 emiseleni yasenyakatho ye-Holland). Ngithola ubuhlakani bami obuningi olwandle ngokwalo, ngibumba amabhodi ami okusefa okuhlanganisa nezinto zemvelo lapho ngikwazi. Lapho ngiqoqa udoti emabhishi, ngivame ukuphinda ngisebenzise izinto ezifana ne-driftwood futhi ngiyipende “ngobuciko bami bokuntweza, ubuciko bezimbali nokugeleza kwamahhala.” Ngaphakathi komsebenzi wami njengomgibeli, ngigxila ekusabalaliseni umlayezo othi “Go Green” (“Go Blue”). Ngiyakujabulela ukuhlanganyela ekuhlanzeni amabhishi kanye nokukhuluma kuma-beach club, abahlengi abancane kanye nezikole ukuze ngigcizelele iqiniso lokuthi sidinga ukwenza umehluko emhlabeni wethu; siqala THINA. Ngivame ukuvula ingxoxo ngokuthi yini ngamunye esingayenzela iplanethi yethu ukuze sakhe ikusasa elinempilo; ungawunciphisa kanjani udoti, uzophinda usetshenziswe kuphi, uzogaywa kanjani futhi yini ongayithenga. Manje ngiyabona ukuthi kubaluleke kangakanani ukuhlanganyela umlayezo nawo wonke umuntu, ngoba sindawonye sinamandla futhi singenza umehluko.

UJuliet Eilperin - [Njengoba IWashington Post's White House Bureau Chief] sekuyinselele kakhulu ukubhala mayelana nezindaba zasolwandle endaweni yami yamanje, nakuba ngithole izindlela ezahlukene zokuzihlola. Okunye kwakho ukuthi uMongameli uqobo ngezikhathi ezithile ucubungula izindaba ezihlobene nolwandle ikakhulukazi kumongo Wezikhumbuzo Zikazwelonke, ngakho-ke ngiphushe kanzima ukuze ngibhale ngalokho akwenzayo ukuvikela izilwandle kuleso simo, ikakhulukazi njengoba kuqhamuke nePacific. U-Ocean nokwandiswa kwakhe kwezikhumbuzo zezwe ezikhona lapho. Bese-ke, ngizama ezinye izindlela engingashada ngazo isigqi sami samanje nesidala. Ngakhava uMongameli ngesikhathi eseholidini eHawaii, futhi ngasebenzisa lelo thuba ukuya eKa'ena Point State Park, esenyakatho yedolobha. O'ahu futhi unikeze ilensi yokuthi i-ecosystem ibukeka kanjani ngale kweziqhingi zase-Hawaiian ezisenyakatho-ntshonalanga. Lokho gangithole ithuba lokuhlola izindaba zolwandle ezisengozini ePacific, eduze nekhaya likaMongameli, nokuthi lokho kuthini ngefa lakhe. Lezi ngezinye zezindlela engikwazile ukuqhubeka ngihlola ngazo izindaba zasolwandle, njengoba ngihlanganisa i-White House.

Rocky Sanchez Tirona – Ngiyi-VP ye-Rare e-Philippines, okusho ukuthi ngengamela uhlelo lwezwe futhi ngihola ithimba labantu abacishe babe ngu-30 abasebenza ekuguquleni abadobi abadobela ukuziphilisa ngokubambisana nomasipala bendawo. Sigxile ekuqeqesheni abaholi bezindawo zokongiwa kwemvelo ekuhlanganiseni ukuphathwa kwezindawo zokudoba nezixazululo zemakethe nezindlela zokushintsha ukuziphatha - ngethemba okuholela ekwandeni kokudotshwa kwezinhlanzi, impilo engcono kanye nezinhlobonhlobo zemvelo, kanye nokumelana nomphakathi ekuguqukeni kwesimo sezulu. Empeleni ngifike sekwephuzile kwezokongiwa kwemvelo - ngemva komsebenzi wokukhangisa, nganquma ukuthi ngifuna ukwenza okuthile okunenjongo kakhulu ngempilo yami - ngakho ngashintshela ekukhulumeni nasekuxhumaneni nomphakathi. Ngemuva kweminyaka eyi-7 ngenza lokho, ngangifuna ukungena ohlangothini lwezinto, futhi ngijule kunomkhakha wezokuxhumana, ngakho-ke ngafaka isicelo kwa-Rare, okwathi, ngenxa yokugcizelela kwayo ukuguqulwa kokuziphatha, kwaba yindlela ephelele kimi. ukungena kwezokongiwa kwemvelo. Zonke ezinye izinto - isayensi, ukudoba kanye nokubusa olwandle, kwadingeka ngifunde emsebenzini.

Oriana Poindexter - Esimeni sami samanje, ngisebenza ezimakethe eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka zokukhuthaza ukudla kwasolwandle okusimeme. Ngicwaninga ngezomnotho ezimakethe zezilwane zasolwandle ukuze ngiqonde indlela yokukhuthaza abathengi ukuthi bakhethe ukudla kwasolwandle okuvunwe ngendlela efanele okungasiza ngokuqondile ukongiwa kwezinhlobonhlobo zezilwane zasolwandle kanye nezilwane ezisengozini yokushabalala. Kuyajabulisa ukuzibandakanya ocwaningweni olusebenzisa olwandle kanye nasetafuleni lesidlo sakusihlwa.

Yini eyavusa isithakazelo sakho olwandle?

Asher Jay – Ngicabanga ukuthi ngabe angizange ngiphelele kule ndlela ukube angizange ngisheshe ngichayeke noma ngizwe ngezilwane zasendle kanye nezilwane kusukela ngisemncane okuyinto umama wami ayenza. Ukuvolontiya endaweni lapho ngisemncane kwasiza. Umama wayehlale engikhuthaza ukuthi ngiye ohambweni lwaphesheya…Ngadingeka ngibe yingxenye yokongiwa kofudu, lapho sasisusa khona izindawo zokuchanyuselwa futhi sizibuke zenza indlela eya emanzini lapho zichanyuselwa. Babenalokhu kucabanga okumangalisayo futhi badinga ukuba sendaweni abahlala kuyo. Futhi lokho kuyakhuthaza kakhulu… Ngicabanga ukuthi yilokho okungenze ngaba lapho ngikhona mayelana nokuzibophezela kanye nothando lokuhlala ehlane kanye nezilwane zasendle…Futhi uma kuziwa kwezobuciko bokudala, ngicabanga ukuthi ukufinyelela njalo ezikhathini ezibukwayo kulo mhlaba kuwumphumela. enye indlela engikhuthazwe ngayo ukuthi ngibe nalesi sikhundla esivuna ukwakheka nokuxhumana. Ngibona ukuxhumana kuyindlela yokuvala izikhala, ukushintsha ukuqaphela amasiko, nokuhlanganisa abantu ezintweni abangazazi. Futhi ngiyakuthanda ukuxhumana futhi! ...Uma ngibona isikhangiso angiwuboni umkhiqizo, ngibheka ukuthi ukwakheka kwenza lo mkhiqizo uphile kanjani nokuthi uwuthengisa kanjani kumthengi. Ngicabanga ngokongiwa kwemvelo ngendlela efanayo engicabanga ngayo ngesiphuzo esifana ne-coca cola. Ngiyibheka njengomkhiqizo, ukuthi imakethwa ngempumelelo uma abantu bazi ukuthi kungani ibalulekile …khona-ke kukhona indlela yangempela yokuthengisa ukongiwa kwemvelo njengomkhiqizo othokozisayo wendlela yokuphila yomuntu. Ngoba kufanele kube njalo, wonke umuntu unesibopho sokuvumelana komhlaba wonke futhi uma ngingasebenzisa ubuciko bokudala njengendlela yokuxhumana nabo bonke futhi ngisinike amandla okuba yingxenye yengxoxo. Yilokho kanye engifuna ukukwenza….Ngisebenzisa ubuhlakani kwezokongiwa kwemvelo.

Erin Ashe - Lapho ngineminyaka engaba ngu-4 noma engu-5 ubudala ngavakashela u-anti wami esiqhingini saseSan Juan. Wangivusa phakathi nobusuku, futhi wangikhipha phezu kwe-buff ebheke i-Haro Straight, futhi ngezwa amagalelo e-pod yemikhomo ebulalayo, ngakho-ke ngicabanga ukuthi imbewu yatshalwa isencane kakhulu. Ngemva kwalokho ngacabanga ukuthi ngifuna ukuba udokotela wezilwane. Lolo hlobo lwashintshela ekubeni nesithakazelo sangempela ekongiweni nasezilwaneni zasendle lapho imikhomo ebulalayo ifakwa ohlwini ngaphansi kwesenzo sezilwane ezisengozini.

Rocky Sanchez Tirona – Ngihlala ePhilippines – iqoqo leziqhingi elineziqhingi ezingu-7,100 plus, ngakho bengilokhu ngilithanda ulwandle. Sengiphinde ngatshuza iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20, futhi ukuba seduze noma olwandle kuyindawo yami ejabulisayo ngempela.

Ayana Elizabeth Johnson – Umndeni wami waya Key West lapho ngineminyaka emihlanu. Ngafunda ukubhukuda futhi ngawathanda amanzi. Lapho sithatha uhambo ngesikebhe esingaphansi kwengilazi futhi ngibona izixhobo zamatshe nezinhlanzi ezimibalabala ngokokuqala ngqá, ngahlabeka umxhwele. Ngakusasa saya e-aquarium sathinta ama-sea urchins kanye nezinkanyezi zasolwandle, ngabona i-eel kagesi, futhi ngabanjwa!

U-Anne Marie Reichman – Ulwandle luyingxenye yami; indlu yami engcwele, uthisha wami, inselele yami, isingathekiso sami futhi uhlala engenza ngizizwe ngisekhaya. Ulwandle luyindawo ekhethekile okufanele usebenze ngayo. Yindawo engivumela ukuthi ngihambe, ngiqhudelane, ngihlangane nabantu abasha futhi ngithole umhlaba. Kulula ukufuna ukumvikela. Ulwandle lusinika okuningi mahhala, futhi luwumthombo oqhubekayo wenjabulo.

UKelly Stewart – Ngangihlale nginesithakazelo emvelweni, ezindaweni ezithule nasezilwaneni. Isikhathi esithile lapho ngisakhula, ngangihlala ogwini lolwandle oluncane lwaseNyakatho Ireland futhi ngihlola ama-tidepool nokuba ngedwa ngokwemvelo kwangikhanga ngempela. Kusukela lapho, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, isithakazelo sami ezilwaneni zasolwandle njengamahlengethwa nemikhomo sakhula futhi sathuthuka saba nesithakazelo koshaka nezinyoni zasolwandle, ekugcineni ngahlala phezu kwezimfudu zasolwandle njengokugxila emsebenzini wami wokuthweswa iziqu. Izimfudu zasolwandle zanamathela kimi futhi ngangifisa ukwazi ngakho konke ezikwenzayo.

Oriana Poindexter – Bengilokhu ngikuthanda kakhulu ulwandle, kodwa angizange ngiqale ukuphishekela umsebenzi ohlobene nolwandle kuze kube yilapho ngithola iminyango yamaqoqo e-Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO). Amaqoqo ayimitapo yolwazi yasolwandle, kodwa esikhundleni sezincwadi, anamashalofu ezimbiza anazo zonke izinto eziphilayo zasolwandle ongazicabanga. Isizinda sami sisobuciko obubonakalayo nokuthwebula izithombe, futhi amaqoqo abesesimweni 'esiyingane esitolo sikaswidi' - bengifuna ukuthola indlela yokubonisa lezi zinto eziphilayo njengezinto ezimangalisayo nobuhle, kanye namathuluzi okufunda abalulekile esayensi. Ukuthwebula izithombe emaqoqweni kungigqugquzele ukuthi ngigxile kakhulu kusayensi yasolwandle, ngijoyine uhlelo lwe-masters e-Center for Marine Biodiversity & Conservation e-SIO, lapho ngathola khona ithuba lokuhlola ukongiwa kwasolwandle ngombono wemikhakha eyahlukene.

UJuliet Eilperin - Esinye sezizathu ezenza ngingene olwandle kwakungoba lwalumboziwe, futhi kwakuyinto eyayingabonakali iheha izintshisekelo eziningi zobuntatheli. Lokho kwanginika ithuba. Kwakuyinto engangicabanga ukuthi yayingabalulekile nje kuphela, kodwa futhi yayingenazo izintatheli eziningi ezazihilelekile. Oyedwa owehlukile kwaba ngowesifazane - okunguBeth Daley - owayesebenza naye ngaleso sikhathi Boston Globe, futhi wasebenza kakhulu ezindabeni zasolwandle. Ngenxa yalokho, angikaze ngizizwe ngincishwe amathuba ngokuba umuntu wesifazane, futhi uma kukhona engangicabanga ukuthi kwakuyinkundla evulekile ngoba zazimbalwa izintatheli ezazinaka okwakwenzeka olwandle.

UWendy Williams - Ngakhulela eCape Cod, lapho kungenzeki khona ukuthi ungafundi ngolwandle. Kuyikhaya le-Marine Biological Laboratory, futhi eduze ne-Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Iwumthombo wokwaziswa okuthakazelisayo.

Yini eqhubekayo ukukukhuthaza?

UJuliet Eilperin - Ngingasho ukuthi kimina udaba lomthelela luhlala luyinto ephambili. Impela ngiyayidlala iqonde ekubikeni kwami, kodwa noma iyiphi intatheli ifuna ukucabanga ukuthi izindaba zayo zenza umehluko. Ngakho-ke uma ngigijima ucezu - kungakhathaliseki ukuthi lumayelana nolwandle noma ezinye izinkinga - ngithemba ukuthi luzophindela futhi lwenze abantu bacabange, noma baqonde umhlaba ngendlela ehlukile. Lokho kungenye yezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu kimi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngigqugquzelwa yizingane zami ezisencane kodwa ezikhule zingena olwandle, oshaka, emcabangweni wokuthi sixhumene nolwandle. Ukuzibandakanya kwabo emhlabeni wamanzi kuyinto enethonya ngempela indlela engibheka ngayo umsebenzi wami nendlela engicabanga ngayo ngezinto.

Erin Ashe - Iqiniso lokuthi imikhomo isesengcupheni futhi isengozini enkulu liyisikhuthazo esinamandla. Ngiphinde ngithole ugqozi olukhulu ngokwenza umsebenzi wasensimini ngokwawo. Ikakhulukazi, eBritish Columbia, lapho kuqhelile khona futhi ubona izilwane ezingenabantu abaningi. Ayikho le mikhumbi emikhulu yamabhokisi...ngithola ugqozi olukhulu kontanga yami nokuya ezingqungqutheleni. Ngibona okusafufusa kulo mkhakha, iziphi izindlela ezisezingeni eliphezulu zokubhekana nalezo zinkinga. Ngiphinde ngibheke ngaphandle kwensimu yethu, ngilalele ama-podcasts futhi ngifunde ngabantu abavela kweminye imikhakha. Muva nje ngithole ugqozi oluningi endodakazini yami.

UKelly Stewart – Imvelo ihlala iwugqozi lwami olukhulu futhi ingisekela empilweni yami. Ngiyathanda ukukwazi ukusebenza nabafundi futhi ngithola ukuthi umdlandla wabo, intshisekelo yabo kanye nesasasa lokufunda kuyabakhuthaza. Abantu abahle abaveza ithemba esikhundleni sokungabi nathemba ngomhlaba wethu nabo bayangikhuthaza. Ngicabanga ukuthi izinkinga zethu zamanje zizoxazululwa yizingqondo ezintsha ezikhathalelayo. Ukuba nombono onethemba ngendlela umhlaba oshintsha ngayo nokucabanga ngezixazululo kuqabula kakhulu kunokubika ukuthi ulwandle lufile, noma ukukhala ngezimo eziyinhlekelele. Ukubona kudlule ezingxenyeni ezidabukisayo zokongiwa kwemvelo kuze kube yinhlansi yethemba yilapho amandla ethu elele khona ngoba abantu bayakhathala ukuzwa ukuthi kunenhlekelele abazizwa bengenakuzisiza ngayo. Izingqondo zethu zilinganiselwe ngezinye izikhathi ekuboneni inkinga kuphela; izixazululo yizinto nje esingakaziklami. Futhi ezindabeni eziningi zokongiwa kwemvelo, cishe kukhona isikhathi.

Ayana Elizabeth Johnson - Abantu baseCaribbean abahlakaniphile nabaqinile engisebenze nabo kule minyaka eyishumi edlule babe umthombo omkhulu wogqozi. Kimina bonke bangamaMacGyver - benza okuningi ngokuncane kakhulu. Amasiko aseCaribbean engiwathandayo (ngokwengxenye ngenxa yokuba ingxenye yamaJamaican), njengamasiko amaningi asogwini, ahlanganiswe kakhulu nolwandle. Isifiso sami sokusiza ukulondoloza lawo masiko aphilayo sidinga ukulondoloza imvelo yasogwini, ngakho lokho nakho kuwumthombo wogqozi. Izingane engisebenze nazo ziyakhuthaza futhi - ngifuna zikwazi ukuhlangana nolwandle ngendlela ebabazekayo engike ngaba nayo, zihlale emiphakathini egudle ugu enomnotho othuthukayo, futhi zidle ukudla kwasolwandle okunempilo.

U-Anne Marie Reichman – Ukuphila kuyangikhuthaza. Izinto zihlala zishintsha. Nsuku zonke kunenselelo okufanele ngizivumelanise nayo futhi ngifunde kuyo - ukuvuleleka kulokho okuyikho, okulandelayo. Ukujabula, ubuhle kanye nemvelo kuyangikhuthaza. Futhi “okungaziwa”, uhambo, ukuhamba, ukholo, kanye nethuba lokuguqukela ekubeni ngcono kuyimithombo ehlala njalo yokungikhuthaza. Nabanye abantu bayangigqugquzela. Ngibusisekile ngokuba nabantu empilweni yami abazinikele futhi abanothando, abaphila amaphupho abo futhi benze abakuthandayo. Ngiphinde ngigqugquzelwe ngabantu abazethembayo ukuthi bamele abakholelwa kukho futhi bathathe izinyathelo lapho kudingeka khona.

Rocky Sanchez Tirona - Imiphakathi yendawo izimisele kangakanani olwandle lwayo - ingaziqhenya kakhulu, ibe nothando futhi isungule ukwenza izixazululo zenzeke.

Oriana Poindexter – Ulwandle luzohlala lungikhuthaza – ukuhlonipha amandla emvelo nokuqina, ukumangala ngokuhlukahluka kwayo okungapheli, nokuhlala nginelukuluku lokwazi, ngiqaphile, ngimatasa, futhi ngizibandakanye ngokwanele ukuze ngizizwele konke mathupha. Ukusefa, ukutshuza, nokuthwebula izithombe ngaphansi kwamanzi yizaba engizikhonzile zokuchitha isikhathi esiningi emanzini, futhi angehluleki ukungikhuthaza ngezindlela ezahlukene.

Ingabe unazo izibonelo ezikusize ukuqinisa isinqumo sakho sokuphishekela umsebenzi? 

Asher Jay - Lapho ngisemncane ngangivame ukuzungeza okuningi kukaDavid Attenborough, Izilingo Zokuphila, Impilo Emhlabeni, njll. Ngikhumbula ngibuka lezo zithombe futhi ngifunda lezo zincazelo ezicacile nemibala nokuhlukahluka abhekana nakho, futhi angikaze ngikwazi ukuvele ngiphelelwe uthando ngalokho.. Nginesifiso esingapheli, esizwakalayo sokudla izilwane zasendle. Ngilokhu ngenza engikwenzayo ngoba wangikhuthaza ngisemncane. Futhi muva nje uhlobo lokugwetshwa kuka-Emmanuel de Merode (umqondisi weVirunga National Park eDemocratic Republic of the Congo) kanye nohlelo lwakhe nendlela aqhubeke ngayo nezenzo eziqinile e-DRC, yinto engiyitholayo. ukuze ujabule ngendlela emangalisayo. Uma engakwenza ngicabanga ukuthi kukhona angakwenza. Ukwenze ngendlela enamandla nenentshiseko, futhi uzibophezele ngokujule kangangokuthi kungiphushele phambili ukuthi ngibe ngumuntu ophansi, umlondolozi wemvelo okhuthele njengenxusa lasendle. Omunye umuntu oyedwa - uSylvia Earle - ngiyamthanda nje, ngiseyingane wayeyisibonelo esihle kodwa manje usewumndeni engingakaze ngibe nawo! Ungowesifazane omangalisayo, umngane, futhi ube yingelosi yomqaphi kimi. Ungumthombo wamandla omangalisayo emphakathini wezokongiwa kwemvelo njengomuntu wesifazane futhi ngiyamthanda ngempela…Unamandla okucabanga ngawo.

UJuliet Eilperin - Ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwami ​​​​okuhlanganisa izindaba zasolwandle, kunedlanzana labesifazane abadlala indima evelele futhi ebucayi ngokokubili isayensi esezingeni eliphezulu kanye nokumela. Lokho kwabonakala kimi kusukela ekuqaleni kwesikhathi sami sokuphatha imvelo. Ngakhuluma nabesifazane abafana noJane Lubchenco, ngaphambi kokuba abe yiNhloko yeNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, lapho esenguSolwazi e-Oregon State University, edlala indima enkulu ekugqugquzeleni ososayensi ukuthi babambe iqhaza ezindabeni zenqubomgomo ngoHlelo lwe-Alpha Leopold. Ngiphinde ngaba nethuba lokukhuluma nedlanzana lososayensi nochwepheshe bakashaka, okwakwenzeka kwakungabesifazane - noma ngabe kwakungu-Ellen Pikitch, Sonya Fordham (Inhloko Ye-Shark Advocates International), noma uSylvia Earle. Kuyathakazelisa kimina, ngoba kunezindawo eziningi lapho abesifazane behlangabezana nezinselelo lapho bephishekela imisebenzi yesayensi, kodwa ngokuqinisekile ngathola amathani ososayensi besifazane nabameli ababelolonga ngempela isimo sezwe kanye nengxoxo ngezinye zalezi zinkinga. Mhlawumbe abesifazane baba matasa kakhulu ekongiweni koshaka ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokuthi abazange bathole ukunakwa kakhulu noma bafundelwe futhi bekungekho nzuzo kwezentengiso amashumi eminyaka. Lokho kwakungase kunikeze ithuba kwabanye besifazane okungenzeka ukuthi bahlangabezane nezithiyo.

Ayana Elizabeth Johnson - URachel Carson uyiqhawe lesikhathi sonke.
