I-Momentum for Transfrontier Conservation (TFCA) eNingizimu Afrika

Lo mbuthano wezinsuku ezine ubuhlanganise ababambiqhaza abangaphezu kwekhulu abavela kuHulumeni, eziNhlanganweni Ezizimele, emiphakathini Yasendaweni, Embonini Ezizimele, Ezemfundo, kanye nabalingani beNtuthuko.

Inikeze amathuba abanzi okubambisana kanye nokwabelana ngezinqubo ezingcono kakhulu, amathuluzi, kanye nezixazululo ezintsha zokuphatha ngokuqhubekayo izindawo ze-TFCA ezihlanganisa amahektha ayizigidi ezingu-950 esifundeni sonke.

USteve Collins, I-SADC TFCA Network Umdidiyeli, uthe: “Kube kukhuthaza ngendlela emangalisayo ukubona umdlandla nothando lwama-TFCA phakathi kwabo bonke ababambiqhaza abavela emazweni nemikhakha eminingi ehlukene. Yize sonke sidlala izindima ezihlukene, ukuzinikela kwethu ngokubambisana ekuthuthukiseni ukongiwa kwe-transfrontier kuyasihlanganisa.”

Uhulumeni waseMozambique ubambe lo mcimbi oyingqopha-mlando, okuhlanganisa nokuvakashela kuwo I-Maputo National Park, ingxenye yeLubombo Transfrontier Conservation Area ehlanganisa iMozambique, Eswatini, neNingizimu Afrika, kanye ne-TFCA yokuqala nokuwukuphela kwayo yasolwandle ezwenikazi.

Izihambeli zizibonele ngawabo uguquko olumangalisayo lwesiqiwu ekubeni isibani sokuvuselelwa nokuvikelwa kwezilwane zasendle njengoba selunqobe izibazi zempi yombango eyathatha iminyaka engu-16 eyaholela ekuncipheni kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo. Izikhulu zePaki ziphinde zagqamisa amathuba amakhulu eMaputo National Park okukhiqiza uxhaso olusimeme kanye nezinzuzo zenhlalo-mnotho yemiphakathi yendawo ngokukhula okuqhubekayo kokuvakasha okusekelwe emvelweni.

Ukubeka inkundla yengxoxo, Ndapanda Kanime, Isikhulu Esiphezulu Sohlelo-Izinsiza Zemvelo, kanye Nezilwane Zasendle ezivela kuNobhala We-SADC, bethule Uhlelo olusha olusanda kugunyazwa lwe-TFCA luka-2023-2033 ukuze kusungulwe imigomo ecacile kanye nesiqondiso samasu weshumi leminyaka elizayo.

Ngombono oqinisekisiwe okhona, ababambiqhaza bangagxila ezingxoxweni ekusetshenzisweni okungokoqobo, ukwakha ubudlelwano bokusebenzisana, kanye nokunqoba izinselele ezicindezelayo kuwo wonke umhlaba we-TFCA.

Izindlela zokusebenza ezizinikele zazidingida izindaba ezinjengokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu, ukuvumelana kokusetshenziswa komhlaba nokuphathwa kolwandle, ukuthuthukisa izimpilo zomphakathi wasemakhaya ngokulondolozwa kwezilwane zasendle, ukunqanda izingxabano ezikhulayo phakathi kwabantu nezilwane zasendle esifundeni sonke, kanye nokwakha abantu ngokuqeqeshwa, ucwaningo, nokucobelelana ngolwazi.

“Ukuhlukahluka kwabadlali etafuleni kusisize ukuba sikhiphe izihloko eziyinkimbinkimbi emibonweni eminingi futhi sihlonze izixazululo ezihlangene,” kuchaza uCollins. “Siyaqaphela ukuthi lezi zinselelo azikwazi ukuxazululwa zodwa.”

Iseshini enkulu yahlola izindlela zokuxhasa ngezimali ezisimeme njengezimakethe zekhabhoni, ukushintshaniswa kwezikweletu zemvelo, kanye nezikhwama zokwethenjwa zokongiwa kwemvelo ezinganciphisa ukuthembela kwama-TFCAs ekuxhasweni ngabanikeli bangaphandle. “Kwakukhuthaza ukubona Amazwe Angamalungu ewazisa ngempela ama-TFCA futhi aphenya ngokuqhubekayo amamodeli ahlakaniphile, ahlukene ezezimali,” kusho uCollins.

Umhlangano usekelwe uMnyango Wezokubambisana Kwezomnotho Nentuthuko YaseJalimane (BMZ) ngokusebenzisana kwawo kwezobuchwepheshe (GIZ) nokubambisana kwezezimali (KfW), i-USAID Southern Africa, IUCN, kanye ne-MozBio.

Ozakwethu ababalulekile bamazwe ngamazwe njenge-EU kanye ne-IUCN babuyekeze ababambiqhaza ezinhlelweni ezinkulu ezengeziwe zokusekela ze-TFCA ezenzeka esifundeni sonke. Lokhu kuhlanganisa i-TFCA Financing Facility exhaswe nguhulumeni waseJalimane isimemo sayo sesibili sezibonelelo esisanda kuvalwa.

IHhovisi likaNobhala le-SADC libike inqubekelaphambili eqhubekayo ekwamukeleni amasu abalulekile nemihlahlandlela yokusungula ngokusemthethweni kanye nokuphakamisa ama-TFCA kusukela ezigabeni zokuqala zomqondo ukuze asebenze ngokugcwele.

Ngesikhathi sokubuyekezwa koHlelo lwe-SADC TFCA, Amazwe Angamalungu achibiyela imibandela yokufakwa ohlwini kwe-TFCA okuholele ekuncishisweni kwe-TFCA eyaziwa ngokusemthethweni isuka ku-18 iye ku-12 kanti amanye amabili kuya kwamathathu angase ahlonishwe ngo-2024.

I-TFCA ngayinye kweziyi-12 eziqashelwa ngokusemthethweni ze-SADC inikeze ngezibuyekezo mayelana nezimpumelelo ezibalulekile, imisebenzi, kanye nenqubekelaphambili phakathi kuka-Okthoba 2022 no-Okthoba 2023. Isibonelo, i-Iona-Skeleton Coast Transfrontier Park iqhubekisele phambili imizamo yokumaketha okuhlanganisa ingxenye yayo yasolwandle, kuyilapho i-Kavango Zambezi (KAZA) I-TFCA yenze ucwaningo lwayo lokuqala lwezindlovu eziwela imingcele, nezilinganiselwa ku-227,900 izindlovu emazweni ase-Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia kanye neZimbabwe.

I-Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park ixhumanise ukugada, yagcina ucingo lwayo, futhi yagunyaza nezinqubo ezijwayelekile zokusebenza zokuphatha izilwane ezidla inyama kanye nezindiza ngaphakathi kwepaki. Lezi zibuyekezo zigqamise ukufezwa kwezinhlobonhlobo zokongiwa kwemvelo, ukuthuthukiswa kanye nokuzibandakanya komphakathi kuwo wonke ama-TFCAs onyakeni odlule.

IHhovisi likaNobhala le-SADC, i-Boundless Southern Africa, kanye nephrojekthi ye-GIZ Yokumelana Nesimo Sezulu Nezinsiza Zemvelo (C-NRM) inikeze izibuyekezo mayelana nokuqaliswa koHlelo Lwezokuvakasha Lwe-SADC lowezi-2020-2030. Imisebenzi esemqoka ihlanganisa inqubekelaphambili kuphrojekthi ye-SADC “Univisa” ukuze kube lula ukuhamba kwesifunda, ukuhlola ukusebenza kahle kwemingcele, kanye nocwaningo lokuma oluyimpumelelo lwezinqubomgomo zokufinyelela emoyeni, izinqubo, nengqalasizinda.

Imizamo yokumaketha ye-Boundless Southern Africa ihlanganisa imibukiso yezokuvakasha, uhambo lwabezindaba, imikhankaso yenkundla yezokuxhumana, kanye nokuthuthukiswa kohlelo lokubonisa ama-TFCA.

Lolu hlelo, njengoba kwagqanyiswa kulo mcimbi, luhlose ukuqinisa ukudidiyelwa kwezifunda, ukuthuthukisa umnotho wezokuvakasha, ukuthuthukisa imingcele, ukwakha amandla, kanye nokukhuthaza ama-TFCA njengendawo esezingeni lomhlaba yezokuvakasha kwemvelo.

Ebheke emhlanganweni olandelayo ohlelelwe ukuphela konyaka wezi-2024, u-Collins waphetha: “Ngethemba ngempela ukuthi ngaleso sikhathi, sesisebenzise izinkundla zokuxhumana ezisebenziseka kalula, sisungule ngokusemthethweni amanye ama-TFCA amabili kuya kwamathathu, futhi saqalisa ukuthuthukiswa kwezindawo zasemakhaya nokulondolozwa kwezilwane zasendle esimeme. kuzo zonke lezi zindawo. Uma kunjalo, sizokwenza unyaka ka-2023 ube unyaka oyingqopha-mlando wokuthuthukisa ukongiwa kwemingcele eNingizimu Afrika.”

Mayelana ne-SADC TFCA Network

Inethiwekhi ye-SADC TFCA yasungulwa eminyakeni eyishumi edlule ngo-2013 yi-Secretariat ye-SADC kanye namaZwe ayo angamaLungu ayi-16 ukuze kugqugquzelwe ukudidiyela nokucobelelana ngolwazi phakathi kwabalingani abaningi ababambe iqhaza ekuthuthukiseni i-Transfrontier Conservation Areas kuso sonke isifunda.

INethiwekhi namuhla inamalungu angaphezu kuka-600 avela kuhulumeni, imiphakathi, ama-NGO, izifundiswa, kanye nozakwethu bentuthuko abakhuthele kuma-TFCA ayi-12 aqashelwa ngokusemthethweni ahlanganisa ngaphezu kuka-950,000 km2 wezinhlelo ezivulekile zezemvelo kulo lonke elaseNingizimu Afrika.
