Ucwaningo lwe-TAT luhlonze isidingo sokubeka izifundazwe zesibili ezingama-55 “esithombeni esikhulu” sokuthuthukiswa kwezokuvakasha eThailand. Uhlelo luwukwakha amasu omqondo aqondene ngqo nesifundazwe ngasinye, ikakhulukazi izindawo zasemakhaya lapho ezolimo zisewumthombo oyinhloko wokuphila kwabantu bendawo. Ngisho nokuvela kwemishini yesimanje yasepulazini, isibopho phakathi kwabantu baseThailand nezilwane sihlala siqine kakhulu emaphandleni. Lokhu kuyingxenye yensika ye-TAT ethi “Local Experience” enikeza izivakashi ulwazi olujulile; njengezokuvakasha ezizinze emphakathini, indlela yokuphila, ubuhlakani, ubuwena bendawo kanye nokwehlukana kwendawo ngayinye.
UDkt. Patrapol Maneeorn, Udokotela Wezilwane Zasendle woMnyango Wezamapaki Kazwelonke, Izilwane Zasendle kanye Nokugcinwa Kwezitshalo (I-DNP) ikhuluma ngesibopho sabantu base-Thai esinamakhulu eminyaka ubudala nezilwane, nokuthi uhlale enethemba lokuhle ngokongiwa kanye nenhlalakahle yezilwane, amapaki ezwe, nezilwane zasendle eThailand.
Q: Uthini umbono wakho ngesimo samanje senhlalakahle yezindlovu/yezilwane e-Thailand?
Kunezinkinga ezimbili ezinkulu eziphathelene nenhlalakahle yezilwane eThailand. Okokuqala ukungqubuzana phakathi kwezilwane zasendle nabantu. Kulezi zinsuku abantu nezilwane zasendle bahlala eduze kakhulu kunangaphambili ngenxa yokulahlekelwa indawo yokuhlala yezilwane zasendle. Ngokuphathelene nezici zihlanganisa ukugawulwa kwamahlathi, ukuthandwa kokugcina izilwane zasendle njengezilwane ezifuywayo, nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Esifundeni sakithi (e-Asia), ukuziphatha kwabantu njengokuhweba kwezilwane nokudliwa okungekho emthethweni nakho kuyizici ezibalulekile. Sekukonke, lezi zici zenza izilwane zasendle zixabane nabantu.
Olunye udaba unya lwezilwane, oluthinta kokubili umuzwa womphakathi kanye nesithunzi seThailand. Esikhathini esidlule, bekunzima kakhulu ngathi ukuphenya. Kodwa namuhla ngenxa yobuchwepheshe, izakhamuzi zaseThailand kanye nezivakashi zingasiza ukubika izinsolo zazo zonya kwezilwane kuhulumeni ngokusebenzisa izinkundla zokuxhumana noma esikhungweni sezingcingo seWildlife First Aid Coordination Centre (Tel. 1362).
Q: Ngokomlando bebuyini ubudlelwano phakathi kwabantu baseThailand nezindlovu?
Ngokomlando, kube khona ubuhlobo obuqinile phakathi kwabantu baseThailand nezindlovu. Ziyingxenye yamasiko nempilo yethu.
Ukuqeqeshwa kwendlovu ye-Mahout kusebenzisa isistimu yokuklomelisa. Kuyinqubo edinga isineke nokuqonda izici nezici zobuntu bendlovu ngayinye. Njengendlela abantu abaqeqesha ngayo amahhashi abo, awahlukunyezwa. Abantu kufanele baqaphele ukuthi laba baqeqeshi bayazithanda izindlovu zabo.
Kwezinye izithombe namavidiyo, ezinye zazo azihleliwe kodwa zingamacala angaphambili abesevele aphenywa yizikhungo zikahulumeni. Kwesinye isikhathi, isithombe esisodwa singonakalisa isithunzi sezwe ngamandla e-inthanethi nezinkundla zokuxhumana. Ngakho-ke, kuwumsebenzi wethu ukuchazela umphakathi, futhi abantu kufanele baqaphele ngaphambi kokwabelana ngezindaba.
Q: Ngabe uMnyango Wezamapaki Kazwelonke, Izilwane Zasendle kanye Nokugcinwa Kwezitshalo usebenze kanjani kwezenhlalakahle zezilwane e-Thailand?
Izikhungo zikahulumeni waseThailand bezilokhu zizama ukubhekana nale nkinga ngezindlela eziningi: ukwakhiwa kwemithetho, ukusekela ucwaningo ngezilwane zasendle, ukuvuselela izilwane ezilimele, nokuqeda ukuhwebelana kwezilwane zasendle ngokungemthetho. Ngemva kwemizamo eminingi, eqhubekayo emikhakheni eminingi, ukusebenza kwethu kanzima sekuqalile ukuthela izithelo. Ukuphumelela komsebenzi wethu yinani lezilwane esinazo endle, futhi namuhla inani lezindlovu, amahlosi, ama-banteng nezinye izilwane zasendle eziningi liyakhula.
Elinye isu, elisebenza ngempumelelo kakhulu futhi elibambe iqhaza elibaluleke kakhulu ekuvikeleni izilwane kuyo yonke le minyaka i-Social Boycotting. Amabhizinisi okuvakasha kanye nezivakashi ngabanye zingasiza izinhlangano zikahulumeni ngokuduba amabhizinisi angazinakekeli kahle izilwane. Uma engekho amakhasimende, amanye azovala futhi amanye azoshintsha. Uma bekhetha ukushintsha, ama-ejensi kahulumeni angasiza ngokunikeza ukuqeqeshwa kochwepheshe ukuze bathuthukise futhi bahlangabezane namazinga adingekayo.
Q: I-Thailand ingayithuthukisa kanjani imikhuba yayo emihle yenhlalakahle yezilwane futhi iqwashise nomphakathi ojikelezayo?
Sigxile ekwamukeleni isu elisebenzayo; njengokuthi, ukuxhumana ngqo namalungu omphakathi waseThailand. Lokhu kungenziwa ngokusebenzisa inkundla yezokuxhumana noma ukwakha inethiwekhi yolwazi lapho umphakathi ojikelezayo uhlanganyela khona futhi uvuselelwe ngezindaba ezibalulekile ukuze uqwashise. Ngokombono wami, imithetho ekhona yonya kwezilwane kumele iqiniswe ngokuqinile futhi ukuboshwa kwabenzi bobubi kumenyezelwe ukuze kwakhiwe inqubekelaphambili enhle eyenziwe kuze kube manje.
Q: Iyiphi indima ongathanda ukubona uMnyango Wezamapaki Kazwelonke, Izilwane Zasendle kanye Nokugcinwa Kwezitshalo udlala ekukhuthazeni inhlalakahle yezilwane e-Thailand?
Ngicabanga ukuthi sihamba ngendlela efanele ukuze sikhuthaze inhlalakahle yezilwane. Esikwenzayo ukusebenzisana nezinhlangano nemikhakha ehlukene eThailand ukuze sinciphise futhi ngethemba ukuthi siqeda unya lwezilwane ngangokunokwenzeka. Sisebenzisana ne-Zoological Park Organisation, inkampani kahulumeni ebhekele izilwane zasendle ezihlala ngaphandle kwezindawo zazo zemvelo. Ngokubambisana ne-Zoological Park Organisation, inhloso yethu wukucwaninga, ukuzalanisa kanye nokukhulula izilwane zasendle eziningi zibuyele endaweni yazo yemvelo.
Ngikholelwa ukuthi unya ezilwaneni eThailand lwehle kakhulu. Njengoba inhlalakahle yezilwane nokuvikelwa kuye kwathuthuka, kanjalo nokuqonda komphakathi komphakathi waseThailand kuthuthukile. Nakuba lezi kuyizinyathelo ezimbalwa nje ezincane eziya endleleni efanele, ziyingxenye yesizathu sokuthi kungani nginethemba elikhulu ngekusasa lokongiwa kwezilwane kanye nenhlalakahle eThailand.
