Amazwe azingela kakhulu izindlovu emhlabeni ayadedelwa

I-CITES, uhlelo olubalulekile lwamazwe ngamazwe olusungulwe ukunqanda ukubulawa kwezindlovu eziningi, iKenya, i-Uganda, iTanzania, iChina, iThailand, nePhilippines, amanye amazwe abi kakhulu emhlabeni ngokuzingela nokuhweba ngokungemthetho kwezinyo lendlovu avunyelwe ukuphuma esivumelwaneni. .

I-CITES iyisivumelwano sezizwe eziningi sokuvikela izitshalo nezilwane ezisengozini. Yabhalwa ngenxa yesinqumo esamukelwa ngo-1963 emhlanganweni wamalungu e-International Union for Conservation of Nature. Umhlangano wavulwa ukuze usayinwe ngo-1973 futhi i-CITES yaqala ukusebenza mhla lu-1 kuJulayi 1975.

Bavunyelwe ukuphuma ohlelweni lwe-National Ivory Action Plan (NIAP) emhlanganweni wakamuva we-CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) ngoba kuthiwa bafeze izinhlelo zabo zeNational Ivory Action Plans.

Nokho, i-Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) ayivumelani kakhulu nalokho okubizwa ngokuthi yimpumelelo. Ithi amagebe abalulekile asekhona mayelana nokusetshenziswa phansi futhi igcizelela ukuthi umbono wenqubekelaphambili uhlanekezelwe. "Isinqumo sokuvumela la Mahlangothi ukuthi aphume ohlelweni lwe-NIAP siyinkinga kakhulu ngoba senzeke ngaphandle kokuxoxisana nochwepheshe abazimele, futhi besingasekelwe ekuhlolweni komthelela wangempela phansi," in. Umbiko we-EIA ngenqubo okugqamisa izikhala ezinkulu njengokushoda kokushushiswa kanye nokugwetshwa okuvimbayo.

I-NIAP yasungulwa njengepulani lamazwe abalulekile ahileleke ekuzingeleni ngokungemthetho noma ukuhweba ngamazinyo endlovu okungekho emthethweni ukuze asebenzise. Iqukethe izinhlelo eziqondene nezwe elithile, ezichaza izinyathelo zomthetho eziphuthumayo kanye nezinyathelo zokuphoqelela okufanele zithathwe ukuze kuliwe nokuhweba ngamazinyo endlovu okungekho emthethweni, i-NIAP ngayinye eyingqayizivele ihlanganisa izikhathi ezibekiwe kanye nezinyathelo ezibalulekile zokuqaliswa futhi idinga ukubika njalo ku-CITE.

Ngokombiko we-EIA, iChina iyizwe elikhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni lapho kuhanjwa khona amazinyo endlovu, i-Uganda ibalwa namazwe angu-10 ahamba phambili ngesibalo esikhulu sokubanjwa kwamazinyo endlovu, iTanzania ihlaselwe ngokwehla kakhulu kwezindlovu zayo, iThailand idlala indima ebalulekile njengendawo yokuthutha yokushushumbiswa kwamazinyo endlovu futhi iKenya iyindawo ebalulekile yokuphuma yamazinyo endlovu angekho emthethweni aqondiswe e-Asia.

Lo mbiko ukhuluma futhi ngenkohlakalo edla lubi, ukuntuleka kokushushiswa kanye nokwanda kobugebengu obuhleliwe. “La mazwe asabhekene nezinselele ezinkulu ekulweni nokuzingelwa kwezindlovu nokushushumbiswa kwamazinyo endlovu,” kusho i-EIA.

“Ngokubambisana (ngaphandle kwePhilippines), bamele u-40% yenani lokubanjwa kwezinyo lendlovu okubikwe emhlabeni wonke kanye namaphesenti angaphezu kuka-50 yenani eliphelele lesisindo samazinyo endlovu abanjwe emhlabeni wonke phakathi kuka-2007 no-2017,” kusho. isitatimende esihlanganyelwe esikhishwe ama-NGO aphezulu ezilwane zasendle. Lesi sitatimende siphinde sikhombe iJapan, iSingapore kanye neNingizimu njengamazwe akhathazayo, sifuna ukuthi nawo abambe iqhaza ohlelweni lwe-NIAP.

Lawa mazwe amabili aphakathi kwedlanzana elisavumela ukuhwebelana kwasekhaya ngamazinyo endlovu naphezu kwalokho isincomo esivela ku-CITES ukuthi lezi zimakethe zohwebo lwangaphakathi zivalwe ngokushesha. Engqungqutheleni ye-IUCN ngo-2016 bona  wamelana nokuvinjelwa kohwebo lwasekhaya ngamazinyo endlovu. Umbiko we-TRAFFIC mayelana nokuhweba ngamazinyo endlovu eJapane kubonisa ngokusobala ukuthi imakethe yasekhaya yaseJapane igqugquzelwa kanjani ukungabibikho kokuzibophezela okusezingeni eliphezulu ekuqedeni ukuhweba ngamazinyo endlovu, okuholela emakethe engalawulwa kahle futhi empeleni imema ukuthengiswa okungekho emthethweni kwamazinyo endlovu. Kube nezibalo eziphezulu zokuthunyelwa ngaphandle ngokungemthetho kusuka eJapan kuya eChina, izwe elithathwa njengenye yezimakethe ezinkulu zamazinyo endlovu e-Asia.

Emhlanganweni we-17 we-Conference of Parties to CITES owawubanjelwe eGoli ngo-2016, iNingizimu Afrika yaphakamisa ukuthi kuvulwe kabusha uhwebo lwamazwe ngamazwe, icela ukuba bavunyelwe ukuthengisa izinqwaba zabo zendlovu. Nokho, lesi siphakamiso esihlanganyelwe yiNingizimu Afrika, iZimbabwe kanye neNamibia asizange sigunyazwe.
