Izibonelo eziyisithupha ze-Lear's Macaw (Anodorhynchus leari) ezalelwe ezikhungweni ze-Loro Parque Foundation futhi zathuthela eBrazil ngo-Agasti odlule ukuze zibuyiselwe emvelweni sezikwazile ukuzivumelanisa nezimo ezinzima zendawo yazo e-Caatinga futhi manje zindiza mahhala zasendle. Upholi ungomunye wamaphrojekthi abaluleke kakhulu eSisekelo, esikwazile ukuhambisa isigaba sawo ohlwini Olubomvu lwe-International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) sisuka 'esengozini enkulu' siye 'esengozini'.
Ukuvikelwa nokululama okuqhubekayo kwalezi zinhlobo kube ngumgwaqo omude nomsebenzi omningi, lapho kugqanyiswa khona umsebenzi owenziwe i-ex-situ yiLoro Parque Foundation, uHulumeni waseBrazil owadlulisela kuye ngababili eminyakeni eyi-13 eyedlule, ngo-2006 , benesifiso sokuthi bangakhulisa futhi basindise uhlobo olwalusesimweni esifana nalesi se-Spix's Macaw, manje eseyaphela.
Ezinyangeni eziyisithupha, bakwazi ukusiza izinyoni ziqale ukuzala futhi, kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, kuye kwazaliswa izinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-30 eTenerife. Kodwa-ke, inhloso yeSisekelo bekulokhu kuwukubenza bakwazi ukubuyela endaweni yabo yemvelo futhi, uma sebefikile, baqinisekise ukusimama kwabo. Ngalesi sikhathi, sekuthunyelwe isamba sezibonelo eziyi-15, eziyisishiyagalolunye kuzo ukuba zibambe iqhaza oHlelweni Lokusebenza Lukazwelonke Lokulondolozwa kwezinhlobo zezilwane, okufezekisa ukwanda okuphawulekayo kwenani labantu.
Abantu bokugcina abayisithupha abafike eBrazil bachithe isikhathi sokuzijwayeza endaweni enkulu yezindiza ezinze endaweni yemvelo, nezitshalo ezijwayelekile zemvelo yalolo hlobo nalapho bejwayelene nemisindo yemvelo kanye nemibandela indawo lapho i-Lear's Macaw yatholakala khona ngaphambilini.
Phakathi nalolu hlelo, ithimba lephrojekthi kwadingeka libhekane nezinselele ezimbalwa: ukuthi izinyoni zazikwazi ukuzijwayeza ukudla izithelo zesundu i-licuri - lezo zinhlobo ezidla ngazo - ngesivinini esifanayo nezinye izinyoni zasendle, ngenxa yokuthi zazijwayele ukudla okuthambile. ukudla, noma ukuthi bayeka ukuphuza amanzi ngokuqondile emkhombeni wokuphuza futhi baqala ukudla lokho ababekuthola esithelweni sesundu kubabili nje babo. Kodwa-ke, bonke banqotshwa kancane kancane futhi ngempumelelo, kuyilapho baqeqeshelwa ukukhulisa amandla abo okuphefumula kwenhliziyo kanye nokusabela emisindo yezilwane ezidla ezinye.
Kwakuyisibonelo esinqunyelwe kakhulu, esinelukuluku kakhulu kwabayisithupha esaphuma okokuqala esikhumulweni sezindiza esithambile ukuze sihlole indawo futhi sisebenze njengomqaphi wangaphambili weqembu lonke. Kulesi simo, nangenxa yezizathu zokuphepha, wenza izindiza zokuqala ezinendawo yokurekhoda ukunyakaza kwakhe. Wathi esewaqiqile amabanga, wabuyela egcekeni ngokuphepha, lavulelwa abanye isango.
Izintende zezandla eziseduze zanikezwa iziqwaba ezinkulu zezithelo zelayisensi ukuzigwema ukuthi zenze imizamo emikhulu ekufuneni ukudla ngesikhathi bezizwa okokuqala endaweni yazo yemvelo. Ngakho-ke, kancane kancane bashiya indawo ebiyelwe bathola izimo ezifanayo ngaphandle kokuthatha uhambo olude.
Ngale mpumelelo enkulu, iLear's Macaw ifinyelele kwesinye sezigaba ezibaluleke kakhulu ekululameni kwayo, futhi ukuhlanganiswa kwayo nemvelo kuzoqhubeka nokuqashwa ososayensi baseBrazil - eholwa ngusosayensi wezinto eziphilayo u-Erica Pacifico, uMxhumanisi Jikelele wephrojekthi yokukhipha - ngubani , ngokuxhumana ngqo nochwepheshe beLoro Parque Foundation, bazoqhubeka nokuqapha ukuvela kwenqubo.
