Izilwane zasendle ezidumile ezihlupheka ngenxa yezithombe ozishuthe zona izivakashi

Umkhuba oqhumayo wezithombe ozishuthe zona ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ugqugquzela ukuhlupheka nokuxhashazwa kwezinye zezilwane ezidumile emhlabeni wonke e-Amazon, kusho inhlangano esiza abantulayo, iWorld Animal Protection.

Igxile emadolobheni amabili ase-Amazon: i-Manaus, i-Brazil kanye ne-Puerto Alegria, e-Peru, abaphenyi benhlangano esiza abantulayo baveza ukuthi izilwane zithathwa endle - ngokuvamile ngokungekho emthethweni - futhi zisetshenziswa abavakashi abangenacala abaxhaphaza futhi balimaze izilwane zasendle ukuze bajabulise futhi banikeze amathuba ezithombe ayingozi. kubavakashi.

Ngokubuka komphakathi nangemuva kwezigcawu, abaphenyi bathole ubufakazi bonya obenziwa ezilwaneni zasendle, okuhlanganisa:

• Izidwaba ezibanjwa endle, ezingasindi isikhathi esingaphezu kwezinyanga eziyisithupha
• Izinyoni ezinjengotoucan ezinamanxeba amabi ezinyaweni
• Izinhlwathi eziluhlaza zilimele futhi ziphelelwe amanzi emzimbeni
• Izingwenya ze-Caiman ziboshwe ngamabhande enjoloba emihlathini yazo
• Inyamazane enkulu, ebanjwe futhi eshaywa umnikazi wayo

UJosey Kitson, uMqondisi Omkhulu ku-World Animal Protection uthi:

“Isithombe ozishuthe sona kanye empilweni singasho impilo yosizi esilwaneni sasendle. Abavakashi baseCanada banendaba nezilwane futhi abaningi abaqapheli imboni enonya abayibhebhezelayo.

“Ngemuva kwe-lens, izilwane zihlwithwa endle futhi ziyahlukunyezwa. Ezinye zezilwane ezihilelekile zisengozini yokushabalala futhi eziningi zivikelwe umthetho. Sicela ohulumeni abafanelekile ukuthi basebenzise imithetho nezinkampani zezokuvakasha kanye nezivakashi ukuthi ziyithobele.”

Inhlangano esiza abantulayo ihlanganyele ne-Grassriots, isikhungo sedijithali esizinze e-Canada ukuze sihlinzeke ngocwaningo oluseqophelweni eliphezulu mayelana nokusabalala nokuthrendayo kwezithombe ozishuthe zona ezilwaneni zasendle. Imiphumela ibonisa:

• Ukwenyuka okungu-292% enanini lezithombe ozishuthe zona zasendle ezithunyelwe ku-Instagram phakathi kuka-2014 namanje
• Ngaphezu kuka-40% wezithombe ozishuthe zona zithathwa njengezithombe ozishuthe zona 'ezimbi' - okungukuthi umuntu ukwanga, obambe noma othintana ngokungafanele nesilwane sasendle.
• Abantu cishe bazolayisha isithombe ozishuthe sona sezilwane zasendle 'esihle' lapho befundile noma bevezwe unya olungemuva kwezigcawu.

Ngalolu cwaningo, iWorld Animal Protection iphinde yethula I-Wildlife Selfie Code ukuze izivakashi zifunde ukuthatha isithombe nezilwane zasendle ngaphandle kokubhebhezela imboni yokuzijabulisa yezilwane zasendle ezinonya.
