OSLO - Idolobha lase-Inca e-Machu Picchu e-Andes yasePeru lidinga ukuvikelwa okungcono ezingozini zemvelo okuhlanganisa ezokuvakasha kanye nokwanda okusheshayo kwedolobha eliseduze, kusho iqembu elihamba phambili lezokongiwa kwemvelo ngoMsombuluko.
UDavid Sheppard, we-International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), naye wathi abahleli baseRussia beMidlalo Yama-Olympic Yasebusika ka-2014 kufanele bacabangele kabusha izindawo lapho i-bobsleigh izoba nazo ukuze kunqandwe izinsongo zezilwane zasendle entshonalanga yeCaucasus.
"I-Machu Picchu ibhekene ... nezinselelo eziningi eziphathelene nezokuvakasha, ukukhula okungalawuleki kwezindawo zokuhlala zasemadolobheni, ukudilika kwenhlabathi, imililo," uSheppard utshele abeReuters ngaphambi komhlangano we-UNESCO ngoJulayi 2-10 eCanada ozobuyekeza uhlu lwezindawo eziyigugu emhlabeni.
Uthe i-IUCN ifuna i-Machu Picchu, eyakhiwa ehlathini ngekhulu le-15, ifakwe ohlwini lwezindawo ezingaba ngu-30 ezisengozini yokushabalala emhlabeni wonke phakathi kwempahla engu-851 eyenganyelwe yi-UNESCO, i-UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
Ezinye iziza ezikalwe njengezisengozini ohlwini Lwezamagugu Omhlaba Lwe-UN zihlanganisa amapaki ezwe amane angamahlathi e-Democratic Republic of Congo, iziqhingi zaseGalapagos ezingase-Ecuador, amatshe esikhumbuzo enkathi ephakathi e-Kosovo kanye nedolobha lemivubukulo lase-Samarra lase-Iraq.
"Kunecala lokufakwa ohlwini kwengozi ye-Machu Picchu," esho. U-Sheppard uhola uhlelo lwezindawo ezivikelwe e-IUCN, enamalungu angaphezu kwe-1,000 okuhlanganisa nezinhlaka zikahulumeni, izikhungo zesayensi kanye namaqembu ezokongiwa kwemvelo.
Uhlu lwezingozi lungasiza ukuhlanganisa abaxhasi kodwa lungabonakala njengokugxeka izinqubomgomo zamanje zokuvikela. “Asikezwa lutho ngePeru,” esho. “Asizami ukushaya indweba. Sizama ukuthola izimpendulo ezisebenzayo,” kusho yena.
Ukuntuleka kokulawula okwanele kumanani aphezulu ezivakashi kanye nokunwetshwa kwedolobha lase-Aguas Caliente esigodini esingaphansi kwamamitha angu-2,430 (7,972 ft) ukuphakama kwe-Inca citadel kwakuphakathi kwezinsongo.
“Kumele kube nohlelo lokuphatha ezokuvakasha oluqinile,” kusho uSheppard. "Okunye ukuhlela amadolobha kudinga ukulawulwa ngokuqinile."
Ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke, okungase kuphazamise imvula futhi kube nomthelela ekubhidlikeni kwenhlabathi nemililo yamahlathi, nakho kwakuphakathi kwezingozi zedolobha, ezakhiwa ngaphambi kokuba uColumbus ahambe ngomkhumbi i-Atlantic.
U-Sheppard uthe Imidlalo yama-Olympic ye-Sochi yaseRussia yango-2014 iyakhathaza. Umkhankaso ohlanganyelwe we-UNESCO/IUCN uphakamise ukuthi kuthuthwe isikhungo se-luge ne-bobsleigh kanye nedolobhana lasentabeni lama-Olympic ukusiza ukuvikela izilwane nezitshalo, esho.
NgoJuni 2, i-UN Environment Programme iphinde yanxusa abagqugquzeli bama-Olympic aseRussia ukuthi bafune ezinye iziza ze-bobsleigh.
