I-Tanzania National Parks (i-TANAPA) ivume ukuthi kuthunyelwe ama-drones esiqiwini sesithathu ngobukhulu kuleli empini yezobuchwepheshe nabazingeli abazingela ngokungemthetho, abasongela imboni yezokuvakasha yezilwane zasendle eyizigidigidi zamarandi.
Kutholakala eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeTanzania, empumalanga yeLake Tanganyika, iPaki kazwelonke yaseKatavi yi-Afrika ezindaweni zayo zasendle ezingonakalisiwe kakhulu, ukubukwa okumangazayo, nezilwane zasendle ezicebile.
I-TANAPA ithi ipaki yikhaya lezindlovu ezilinganiselwa ku-4,000, kanye nemihlambi eminingana yezinyathi ezihlanganisa i-1,000 XNUMX, kanti inqwaba yezindlulamithi, amadube, izimpala kanye nezinhlanga.
"Sisayine uhlelo lokuqapha ukuzingela ngokungemthetho oluzokwenziwa yinhlangano ezimele, iBathawk Recon, ePaki National Park izinyanga eziyisithupha" Okhulumela i-TANAPA, uMnu Pascal Shelutete utshele i-e-Turbonews ngocingo.
Umshayeli wokuqala wezinyanga eziyisithupha weSuper Bat DA-50 kanye nemishini edingekayo yokuqapha e-Katavi, kulindeleke ukuthi inikeze imininingwane yesikhathi sangempela mayelana nemisebenzi yokuzingela ngokungemthetho.
Lesi sinyathelo silandela ukuvivinywa kweminyaka emithathu okubabazekayo nokwenzekile eTarangire naseMkomanzi National Parks, zombili ezisenyakatho neTanzania, lapho imiphumela ibikwe ukuthi inkulu kakhulu, okusobala ukuthi ikhuthaza esinye sezikhungo eziyinhloko zokuvikela kuleli, i-TANAPA ukukhulisa ububanzi bezindawo iphrojekthi.
Ngempela, uBathawk Recon, opharetha we-UAV ubesebenza ngokubambisana neTanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA), ezempi, uMnyango Wezemvelo kanye neTANAPA ukwenza inketho yokusebenza iminyaka emithathu elandelanayo.
Uhlelo lwe-UAV luyindlela emisha ngezindlela eziningi hhayi esikhungweni lapho umzamo uyingxenye yobambiswano lukahulumeni nabazimele olusekelwa yiTanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF).
Ukuvumelana nokusebenza ndawonye kuyingxenye ebalulekile yohlelo.
"Impela uhulumeni nezinhlangano ezingenzi nzuzo zibalulekile ekongeni imvelo, kepha isimo esiphuthumayo sokuzingela ngokungemthetho sidinga yonke imikhakha futhi ikakhulukazi imikhakha ezimele ukuthi ibandakanywe," kusho umphathi we-TPSF futhi onguSihlalo wePrivate Sector Anti Poaching Initiative, uMnu Godfrey Simbeye.
Kepha ingxenye ecabangayo neya phambili yalokhu kusungula isehlangothini lobuchwepheshe nokusebenza.
Kuneminye imiklamo yokulwa nokuzingelwa ngokungemthetho kwe-UAV e-Afrika kodwa kuze kube manje ukusebenza kwaleyo mizamo kusabhekwa.
Ingabe i-UAV anti poaching rally iyasebenza? Kahle eBathawk Recon bathi; "Kuphela uma ukwenza kahle".
Izindleko nemizamo yokuthenga idrone, ukufaka iqembu nokuzifaka ehlathini kumele kubize kakhulu futhi kulethe imiphumela.
Lo mbuzo wokusebenza kahle wukushintsha okubalulekile kwecebo lendawo yokuvikela okwamanje. Kukhona ushintsho olubanzi lwezwenikazi kusuka kokumboza umhlabathi omningi ngangokunokwenzeka ngama-rangers kuze kuchazwe lapho abagadli bangangena khona noma kufanele badlule kubunhloli.
Ukushintshela kuleli su lakamuva elithi "Intelligence Led" kukhombisa amasu obuphoyisa ezimeni eziningi, hhayi nje ezindaweni zokuvikela.
Isivumelwano sika-TANAPA noBathawk Recon sokusabalalisa 'Ubufakazi Bomqondo', esizovivinya uhlelo lokusebenza nobuchwepheshe izinyanga eziyisithupha, empeleni siwukuthuthuka okuphindwe kabili.
Yebo kungukukhonjiswa kokusebenza ngokubambisana nemikhakha ehlukene esebenza ukufaka isandla, igxathu negxathu, kunqubo eyodwa.
Kepha ngasikhathi sinye lezo zici eziqinile nezikhathele isikhathi esithile ziphakamisa ushintsho olukhulu 'ekucabangeni kwendawo yokuvikela'.
UMike Chambers, uMqondisi eBathawk Recon, uchaza ukuthi "i-hardware nesoftware esiyiphakamisayo ku-Super Bat DA-50 izohlangana namaqembu aphansi kanye nabaqaphi ukuletha ithuluzi eliholwa ngobuhlakani beqiniso ekuphathweni kwezindawo zokuvikela".
Ngakho-ke lesi sivumelwano phakathi kweBathawk neTANAPA akusibo abalingani ababili kuphela abafuna ukusebenzisana, kuyisiphakamiso sokukhombisa ithuluzi elisha lokulwa nokuzingela ngokungemthetho elingaqhubekisela phambili insimu futhi lisebenze ezindaweni eziningi nasemazweni amaningi.
Bazokuyihlola ePaki National Park ngokushesha okukhulu: Abazingeli abangekho emthethweni mabaqaphele!
Ukuzingela ngokungemthetho kuphakeme, phakathi kokunye, kusongela izilwane zasendle zaseTanzania futhi ekugcineni imboni yezokuvakasha ekhulayo yezigidigidi zamarandi, imisebenzi ehlobene nayo, imali engenayo nalo lonke uchungechunge lwamavelu, kungekudala, ngeke kube khona okuheha izivakashi.
Eminyakeni eyisikhombisa edlule, izindlovu ezingaphezu kuka-80,000 60 zaleli zwe ziye zahlatshwa ngenxa yezindlovu zazo, ezimelela amaphesenti angama-XNUMX abantu, kolunye uphawu lwesintu kungekudala lungaqeda ama-pachyderms amakhulu
"Kuyimfihlo evulekile ukuthi uma, thina maTanzania singazigcini izilwane zethu zasendle futhi sinakekela izimpahla zethu zemvelo ngakho-ke ezokuvakasha ezenzelwe imvelo ngeke zikwazi ukuheha izivakashi eziyizigidi ezimbili eza ngo-2020" Isikhulu esiphezulu seTanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO), uSirili U-Akko uyachaza.
Ukuvakasha kwezilwane zasendle eTanzania kuyaqhubeka nokukhula, njengoba kunezivakashi ezingaphezu kwesigidi esisodwa ezivakashela izwe minyaka yonke, zithola izwe ama- $ 1 billion, okulingana namaphesenti acishe abe yi-2.05 e-GDP.
Ngokwengeziwe, ezokuvakasha zihlinzeka ngemisebenzi eqondile engama-600,000 kumaTanzania; abantu abangaphezu kwesigidi esisodwa bathola imali kwezokuvakasha ingasaphathwa eyenani lezokuvakasha elisekela, amapaki, izindawo zokongiwa kwemvelo nezindawo manje zokuphathwa kwezilwane zasendle ezenzelwe umphakathi (ama-WMA's) kepha futhi nabalimi, abathuthi, iziteshi zikaphethiloli, abahlinzeki bezinto zokungcebeleka, abakhi, amatende abenzi, abahlinzeki bokudla neziphuzo.
