Inani labantu be-Snow Leopards e-Bhutan Rose ngo-2023: Ucwaningo

I 2022-2023 Inhlolovo Yengwe Yeqhwa Kazwelonke, esekelwe i-Bhutan For Life initiative kanye ne-WWF-Bhutan, iveze ukwanda okumangazayo okungu-39.5% kwenani lezingwe zeqhwa uma kuqhathaniswa nocwaningo lokuqala olwenziwe ngo-2016.

Inhlolovo ebanzi isebenzise ubuchwepheshe bokucupha ikhamera obusezingeni eliphezulu. Ihlanganisa indawo engamakhilomitha-skwele angaphezu kuka-9,000 yendawo yokuhlala yezingwe zeqhwa eBhutan (enyakatho yeBhutan).

Ucwaningo luthole izingwe zeqhwa ezingu-134 eBhutan, okuwukunyuka okuphawulekayo kwesibalo sango-2016 sabantu abangu-96. Lokhu kugqamisa imizamo eyimpumelelo yokongiwa kwe-Bhutan nokuzinikela ekuvikeleni izindawo ezihlala izingwe zeqhwa.

Ukwengeza, ucwaningo lubonise umehluko ekumineni kwezingwe zeqhwa eBhutan ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene. I-Western Bhutan ibe nokuminyana okuphezulu kakhulu kwala makati amakhulu angaqondakali. Lo mehluko wesifunda ugqamisa isidingo sezindlela zokongiwa kwemvelo ngendlela oyifisayo ukusekela ukukhula okuqhubekayo kwezingwe zeqhwa.

Okunye okuvelele kwenhlolovo ukuhlonzwa kwezingwe zeqhwa ezindaweni ezingarekhodwa ngaphambilini njenge-Bumdeling Wildlife Sanctuary kanye nezifunda eziphakeme eziseduze neHhovisi le-Divisional Forest eThimphu. Lokhu kwanda kwezindawo zabo ezaziwayo kugcizelela isikhundla esibalulekile saseBhutan njengenqaba yalezi zilwane ezisengozini.

With ebanzi futhi efanelekayo snow ingwe izindawo kanye nemingcele yayo nge India (I-Sikkim ne-Arunachal Pradesh) kanye ne-China (ithafa lase-Tibetan), i-Bhutan ibekwe esikhundleni sokusebenza njengomthombo obalulekile wezingwe zeqhwa esifundeni.

I-IUCN Red List ihlukanisa ingwe yeqhwa “njengesengozini,” okubonisa ukuthi ngaphandle kwemizamo yokulondoloza, lolu hlobo lwezilwane ezinhle kakhulu lusengozini yokushabalala maduze nje.

I-Bhutan yenze izinyathelo zokuvikela izingwe zeqhwa, zizihlukanisa njengeShejuli I ngaphansi koMthetho Wokongiwa Kwamahlathi Nemvelo 2023, lapho izenzo ezingekho emthethweni ezimelene nazo zithathwa njengezigebengu zezinga lesine. Inhlolovo inikeze imininingwane ebalulekile ekusebenzisaneni kwezingwe zeqhwa nezinye izilwane ezidla inyama ezinkulu, okuhlanganisa amahlo nezingwe ezivamile.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, yabeka irekhodi elisha lezilwane ngaphandle kwezingwe zeqhwa eBhutan ngokuthumba inyamazane enezindebe eziMhlophe/inyamazane kaThorold (Cervus albirostris) eHhovisi Lokuhlukaniswa Kwamahlathi e-Paro.
