“Umbiko omusha kufanele uhehe kakhulu izindlovu zasehlathini. Njengoba zingabonakali kalula futhi ziqashwa kalula kunezindlovu ezingama-savanna, zivame ukunganakwa ohulumeni nabanikeli, ”kusho uKathleen Gobush, umhloli ohola phambili wezindlovu zase-Afrika. "Izidingo zabo zisitshekelwe yilabo babazala babo abakhulu njengezinhlobo ezisengozini nezisengozini kakhulu," kusho uKathleen.
Kusetshenziswa idatha eyabhalwa ngeminyaka yama-1960 yezindlovu ezingama-savanna kanye nama-1970 wezindlovu zasehlathini, uGobush nozakwabo bakha imodeli yezibalo ukulinganisa ukwehliswa kwabantu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Izindlovu zingenye yezinhlobo ezifunwa kakhulu ngabashushumbisi bezilwane zasendle. Ukuze kutholakale izinga lobungozi, ochwepheshe e-IUCN bavumile ukuthi izindlovu zase-Afrika empeleni zihlukaniswe ngezinhlobo ezimbili. Indlovu eyi-savanna inkulu, inezinyosi ezigobile, futhi izula emathafeni avulekile e-Afrika eseningizimu yeSahara ngenkathi indlovu yehlathi incane futhi imnyama, inezinyosi eziqondile, futhi ihlala emahlathini enkabazwe aseCentral naseNtshonalanga Afrika.
UMqondisi wezinhlobo zase-Afrika e-World Wildlife Fund (WWF), uBas Huijbregts, uthe umthelela omuhle ongaba khona wokulondolozwa kwezindlovu zehlathi nezama-savanna zibe yizinhlobo ezihlukene awunakushiswa ngokweqile. "Izinselelo kuzo zombili lezi zinhlobo zihluke kakhulu, kanjalo nezindlela zokululama kwazo," esho.
Inani lezindlovu zasehlathini lehle kakhulu ngamaphesenti angama-86 eminyakeni engama-31 edlule kanti lelo lezindlovu ze-savanna lehle ngamaphesenti angama-60 eminyakeni engama-50 edlule, ngokusho kwe-IUCN, eyaphawula ukuthi zombili izinhlobo zezinhlobo zazo ezinabantu abalinganiselwa ku-415,000 bahlupheke kakhulu kusukela ngo-2008 ngenxa yokwanda okukhulu kokuzingela ngokungemthetho okweqise ngo-2011.
Ukuphikelela ukufunwa kwendlovu yendlovu ngenxa yobuhle bayo nokusetshenziswa kwayo kwezobuciko kunciphise kakhulu inani lezindlovu ezwenikazi lase-Afrika, kwasheshisa ukulahleka kwezinhlobo zamatshe amakhulu ezibamba iqhaza elibalulekile ekugcineni izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo zemvelo.
Isivumelwano samazwe amaningi sokuvikela izitshalo nezilwane ezisengozini yokuqothulwa (i-CITES) savimbela ukuhwebelana kwamazwe omhlaba ngezinyo lendlovu ngo-1989, kodwa akuwona wonke amazwe abambelele Esivumelwaneni, futhi kube khona iziqongo nezigodi zokuthengiswa kwezinyo lendlovu kule minyaka engamashumi amathathu edlule.
Amazwe amaningi ase-Asia naseningizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia asenengxenye ekuhwebeni kwendlovu okungekho emthethweni. Ngaphambi kobhadane lomhlaba wonke lwe-COVID-19, izindlovu ezibalelwa ku-20,000 XNUMX zase-Afrika zazisabulawa unyaka nonyaka ngenxa yezinyo lendlovu, kanti imizila yokuhweba yezindlovu zase-Afrika isagobhoza kakhulu kubathengisi base-Asia, kodwa eminyakeni yamuva nje, iChina isinyusile imizamo yokumisa ukuhweba ngezinyo lendlovu.
"Ukwakhiwa kabusha kwezindlovu kudinga ukuvikela indawo ezihlala kuyo kanye nokuqhubeka nokucija ukuzingelwa ngokungemthetho nokushushumbiswa kwezinyo lendlovu," kusho uScott Schlossberg, ongumhlaziyi wedatha e-Elephants without Borders, okuyinhlangano yaseBotswana evikela izilwane zasendle i-Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO).
"Siyasisekela isinqumo se-IUCN ngalesi sikhathi sokuvuselela indlovu yasehlathini lase-Afrika ukuba isengozini enkulu futhi indlovu eyi-savanna isengozini, futhi sikholwa ukuthi ilandela imigomo ngokuhambisana nenqubo yabo yokufakwa ohlwini olubomvu," kusho uDkt. Philip Muruthi, oyiPhini likaMongameli we-Africa Wildlife Foundation (AWF) ophethe ukongiwa kwezinhlobo kanye nesayensi.
Ukuhlolwa kwe-IUCN kuphawule nokuthi kube nezinhlelo eziphumelelayo zokongiwa kwemvelo eGabon naseCongo-Brazzaville zezindlovu zasehlathini kanye ne-Okavango-Zambezi Trans frontier Conservation Area yezinhlobo ze-savanna.
Bruno Oberle, uMqondisi Jikelele we-IUCN esitatimendeni sabezindaba uthe lokhu kufakazela ukwehla kwezindlovu kungaguqulwa. “Kumele sisebenzisane ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isibonelo sabo siyalandelwa,” kusho yena.
I-IUCN ithembele ezintweni ezahlukahlukene ukunquma isimo sokongiwa kwesilwane, njengokuthi zingakanani izinombolo nobubanzi bazo obehlile.
Izilwane zasendle zihamba phambili ekuheheni izivakashi futhi zingumthombo wemali yezokuvakasha e-Afrika. Abantu bezindlovu banikeza i-safaris enezithombe eyingqayizivele eheha izigidi zabavakashi ikakhulukazi abavela eYurophu naseMelika bavakashela izindawo ezivikelekile zezilwane zasendle e-Afrika.
