Okwamanje okuqhubekayo Ubhubhane lwe-COVID-19 silethe ezokuvakasha nezokungcebeleka emadolweni eSri Lanka nasemhlabeni jikelele. Ngokubekelwa isikhathi esinqunyiwe nemikhawulo eqinile yokuhamba, cishe zonke izikhungo zivaliwe. Amapaki ezilwane zasendle eSri Lanka nawo avaliwe cishe inyanga manje.
Kunemibiko yezilwane zasendle ezijabulela inkululeko engaphazanyiswa eziyithola ngokungazelelwe. Isimo semvelo ngokujwayelekile naso sibukeka sithathe ushintsho. Hhayi eSri Lanka kuphela, kepha nasemhlabeni wonke, kuyabonakala ukuthi imvelo ingazelapha, uma inikezwa isikhala nesikhathi.
Kuyaziwa ukuthi eminyakeni eyedlule yentuthuko esheshayo yangemva kwempi, sisebenzise izimpahla zethu zemvelo kanye nezilwane zasendle egameni lezokuvakasha cishe kwaze kwaba seqophelweni lokungabuyeli, ngokugcwala ngokweqile kanye nokuvakasha ngokweqile. Silandele ubuningi ngaphezu kwekhwalithi.
Le ndlela yokuvakasha kwezilwane zasendle ibangele inqwaba yamazwana amabi ezinkundleni zokuxhumana mayelana nokuhlangenwe nakho kwabavakashi ngamapaki ezilwane zasendle eSri Lanka. Ukuqhubeka kwesimo "sebhizinisi njengokujwayelekile" kuzoqinisekisa ukuphela komkhakha wezokuvakasha wezilwane zasendle esikhathini eside. Ngenkathi ukuvakasha kwezilwane zasendle eSri Lanka kunamandla amakhulu kwezomnotho, akufanele kukhuthazwe ngokungcolisa ukongiwa kwemvelo.
Kungokonga izimpahla zethu zemvelo okuzoqinisekisa ukusimama komkhakha wezokuvakasha wezilwane zasendle. Kodwa-ke, izilwane zasendle ezindaweni eziningi ezidumile zezilwane zasendle kuleliya lizwe bezihlukunyezwa futhi zixoshwa ngenxa yokuvakashelwa ngokuhlanya. Futhi imbangela enkulu yalokhu kube wukungaziphathi kahle kwabashayeli be-safari ngokunganaki kwabo imithetho nokuhluleka koMnyango Wezokulondolozwa Kwezilwane (DWC) ukuphoqelela umthetho nokuhleleka kahle emapaki.
Manje sekuyisikhathi esifanelekile sokwesula i-slate bese uqala okusha ngezinkombandlela nemithetho efanele yokusebenzisa kahle amapaki ezilwane zasendle.
Ezinye iziphakamiso zinikezwe ngezansi.
Imithetho yabo bonke abavakashi nabaqhubi be-Safari Jeep
Le mithetho kufanele iphoqelelwe ngokuqinile lapho amapaki ezilwane zasendle evulekele izivakashi. Ukunganamatheli kulokhu okulandelayo kufanele kuholele ekuhlawulisweni noma ekumisweni komshayeli noma isivakashi esithintekayo. I-DWC kufanele inikezwe igunya eligcwele lokuphoqelela le mithetho ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka okuvela kunoma yimiphi imithombo yangaphandle.
- Umkhawulo omkhulu wejubane elingu-25 km / ihora ngaphakathi kwamapaki ezilwane zasendle
- Akukho kudla okufanele kufakwe epaki ngaphandle kokuthi uvakashelwe usuku lonke
- Akukho kubhema noma ukuphuza utshwala ngaphakathi kwepaki
- Akukho ukungcola
- Hhayi ukubanga umsindo noma ukumemeza
- Ayikho i-flash photography
- Akukho ukulandela isilwane ukuze ubone kahle
- Akukho ukuminyana nxazonke zesilwane ukuze usibuke kangcono. Ubuningi bemizuzu emi-5 ngokubukwa ngakunye ngemuva kwalokho okunikeza abanye indlela.
- Ukuhamba emigwaqweni eqokiwe kuphela (akukho ukuhamba okungekho emgwaqeni)
- Ukuqondiswa yilokho i-tracker (ranger) ekutshela ukuthi ukwenze
- Cha ukusondela kakhulu esilwaneni bese usiphazamisa
- Akukho ukwehla emotweni noma ukugibela phezu kophahla lwezimoto
UMnyango Wezokulondolozwa Kwezilwane Zasendle
Ukuze kuqinisekiswe isipiliyoni sezivakashi esingcono, i-DWC kufanele futhi yenze ngokushesha ukulungiselela uhlelo olunemininingwane oluphathelene nesikhathi lokuphathwa kwezivakashi ngezenzo zesikhathi esifushane, esimaphakathi nesikhathi eside. Lokhu kufanele kwenziwe kuwo wonke amapaki kazwelonke avakashelwe ngokweqile (iYala, i-Uda Walawe, iMinneriya, iKaudulla, iWilpattu, neHorton Plains)
Lolu hlelo lokuphathwa kwezivakashi kufanele lubandakanye lezi zenzo ezilandelayo okungenani:
- Uhlelo lwe-uniflow ngaphakathi kwamapaki kazwelonke lapho kungenzeka khona ukuze isiminyaminya sezimoto sincishiswe
- Ukushayisana kwejubane emigwaqeni enethrafikhi ephezulu emapaki ukuqinisekisa ukunamathela emikhawulweni yejubane
- Ngokubheka ukuthi i-DWC inabasebenzi abenele ukuhambisana nazo zonke izimoto ezingena epaki likazwelonke, okungenani imoto eyodwa ye-DWC ukugada ipaki phakathi kuka-6 ekuseni-10 ekuseni no-2 ntambama-6 ntambama, nsuku zonke, lapho inombolo yemoto idlula izimoto ezingama-50 ngeseshini ukuphatha ukugcwala kwabantu lapho kubukwa izilwane zasendle kanye nokulandela imithetho nemigomo yepaki
Leli cebo kufanele libhalwe ngalesi sikhathi “sokuvala,” sisebenze online, futhi lenziwe lilungele ukusetshenziswa ngokuncoma kokuvakashelwa kwamapaki kazwelonke.
UDkt Sumith Pilapitiya naye unikele kulo mbhalo.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- It is common knowledge that in the past years of post-war rapid development, we have exploited our natural assets and wildlife in the name of tourism to almost a point of no return, by overcrowding and over-visitation.
- Considering that DWC has inadequate staff to accompany all vehicles entering a national park, at least one DWC vehicle to patrol the park between 6 am-10 am and 2 pm-6 pm, daily, when the vehicle number exceeds 50 vehicles per session to manage overcrowding at wildlife sightings and adherence to park rules and regulations.
- And the main cause for this has been the irresponsible behavior of safari drivers with their blatant disregard of rules and the inability of the Department of the Wildlife Conservation (DWC) to effectively enforce law and order inside the parks.
