Ekugcineni kwamaphakathi nethemu ukusebenzelana kwe Inhlangano yabasebenza e-Uganda Tour Operators (AUTO) ngo-August 6, 2019, e-Hotel Africana e-Kampala, e-Uganda, uMqondisi Wezokuvakasha Nezamabhizinisi We-Wildlife Authority, uMnu. Stephen Masaba, wenze isimemezelo esikhulu esibonisa izinguquko ezimbalwa ezindlekweni ezihlanganisa nokukhuphuka kancane izimvume ze-gorilla kusuka ku-USD 600 kuya ku-USD 700 imvume ngayinye. Ukwenyuka kuza ngokukhuthazwa ngethuba lokungena kwepaki mahhala e-Semliki nase-Mt. Elgon National Parks usuku olulodwa. Okunye okunyusiwe yizindleko zokulandelela izimfene e-Kibale Forest National Park zisuka ku-USD 150 ziye ku-USD 200 imvume ngayinye.

Ezinye izinguquko zihlanganisa ukwehliswa okukhulu kwezimali ezikhokhelwa umsebenzi wokuthwebula ama-gorilla zisuka ku-USD 4,000 zehle ziye ku-30% wezimali zemvume yama-gorilla, ukuncishiswa ngo-50% kwezindleko zokuhamba kwemvelo, kanye nokwehliswa kwezindleko zokungena zibe ngu-USD 50 eMt. Elgon National Park. Umuzwa wokuhlala ama-gorilla uhlala ungashintshile ku-USD 1,500 imvume ngayinye.
Ekuxoxisaneni ngaphambili nabaqhubi bezokuvakasha bendawo, iningi labo elihlulekile ukuthola izimvume zama-gorilla kumakhasimende abo ngenxa yesidingo esirekhodiwe kule sizini ephezulu, uMasaba, obephethwe yi-Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) Manager Sales Authority (UWA) uPaul Ninsiima, umemezele ukuthi i-UWA manje isizogodla. U-80% wezimvume zokubhuka ngabanikezeli bezokuvakasha ababhalisiwe base-Uganda kanye no-20% womphakathi wonke. Uhlelo olusha lokubhukha luzophinda lwamukele izinkokhelo ze-inthanethi kanye nezinkokhelo ngomakhalekhukhwini (imali ephathwayo) ezihlinzekwa ngabasebenzi bendawo ngezingcingo. UMasaba unxuse abavakashi ukuthi bahambisane nohlelo oluqhubekayo lokuhlola nokukhipha amalayisense olwenziwa yi-UTB njengenqubo yokufinyelela ku-80% wezimvume.
Uphinde wamemezela ukuthi izibalo zezivakashi ezivakashela eziqiwini zikhule ngo-10% zisuka ku-303,000 ngowezi-2016/17 zaya ku-344,000 onyakeni wezimali wezi-2017/18.
Ukuthengiswa kwezimvume zama-gorilla kukhuphuke kusuka ku-40,714 kuya ku-43,124 ngokudayiswa kwesizini ephezulu phakathi kukaJulayi no-Okthoba ngaphezu kuka-100%, isilinganiso esingu-73% sonyaka wezimali odlule. ngabantu base-Uganda nabaseMpumalanga Afrika.
I-Murchison Falls National Park iqophe inani elikhulu lezivakashi ezingu-104,000 ilandelwa yi-Queen Elizabeth National Park ngezingaphezu kuka-84,000. Wonke amapaki ngaphandle kwaseSemliki kanye neNtaba i-Elgon, akhula ngamanani ezivakashi.
Kulo mhlangano kuphinde kwamenywa isikhulu seBhodi Lezokuvakasha lase-Uganda uLily Ajarova osebenzise lo mcimbi ukwethula ithimba lakhe elisha okuhlanganisa nePhini le-CEO u-Bradford Ochieng, isikhulu sezomthetho u-Aida Wada Samora Semakula kanye noMphathi Wokuqinisekisa Ikhwalithi kanye noMphathi Wezobudlelwano Nomphakathi uSandra Natukunda.
U-Ajarova uchaze impumelelo nezinhlelo ze-UTB kusukela ethathe izintambo ngo-Ephreli walo nyaka okuhlanganisa nokuthuthukiswa kwesu lohlelo; ukudluliswa kwe-Meetings Incentives Conferences and Events (MICE) Convention Bureau isuka ku-Ministry of Tourism Wildlife & Antiquities engumzali iye ku-UTB; ubudlelwano phakathi kwe-UTB ne-Ministry of Foreign Affairs ngenhloso yokuthumela abamele indawo yemakethe; umthethosisekelo weKomidi Lezinhlekelele, Ezokuphepha kanye Nezokuphepha; iqembu elisebenzayo lobuchwepheshe bezempilo ukuqapha kanye nokwenza lula ukubika ngezifo ze-zoonotic; ukusungulwa kwesikhwama sokutshalwa kwezimali kwezokuvakasha semboni ezimele; ukuhlinzekwa kwezibonelelo zentela kanye nokuqaliswa kwentela yezokuvakasha ehlinzekwe kuMthetho wezokuvakasha wezi-2008; kanye nokuxhumana njalo nababambe iqhaza kwezokuxhumana. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umemezele ukuthi zonke izindawo zokuwela inkabazwe zamasu ezweni zimakwe ukuthi zithuthukiswe phakathi kokunye.
Ngo-2017, ngenkathi i-Rwanda Development Board imemezela ukwenyuka kwentengo yezimvume ze-gorilla isuka ku-USD 800 iye ku-USD 1,500, i-Uganda Wildlife Authority yakhetha ukugcina izimvume ku-USD 600 kuze kube manje okudala ukwanda kwesidingo sezimvume zama-gorilla ikakhulukazi ezinze eRwanda. abavakashi abakhethe ukubhuka izimvume ngaphesheya komngcele ikakhulukazi eMgahinga, Nkuringo, Rushaga, naseRuhija.
Ingagculisekile ngezimfuno zabaqhubi bezokuvakasha abaphelelwe yithemba abalahlekelwe isiphakamiso sokuthi mhlawumbe i-UWA ivumele imindeni yamagorilla ukuthi ilandelelwe kabili ngosuku, kuncishiswe isikhathi sokulandela umkhondo noma ikhulise isibalo sabalandeleli beqembu ukusuka ku-8, i-UWA imile kwelokuthi angehlisi inani. kokuhlangenwe nakho noma ukubanjwa izilingo ezibona kafushane zokukhushulwa kwemali engenayo ngokulahlekelwa kwemvelo ngokuhambisana nomsebenzi nomsebenzi wayo.
Ekhuluma ngokwanda kwesibalo sezimvume kusukela kwaqala ukulandelela ama-gorilla ngo-1993, uMasaba wafingqa: “Kusuka emaqenjini ama-gorilla ama-2 ... namuhla, sinamaqembu angu-19 nezimvume ezingu-152 ngosuku e-Bwindi Impenetrable Forest NP. Ngakho besilokhu siphendula izitayela kanye nezidingo.
“Kodwa kufanele kube … imikhawulo yokusetshenziswa okwamukelekayo. Isidingo asineliseki ikakhulukazi ngenkathi ephezulu. Amabhizinisi angasihlanyisi ukucekela phansi izinsiza esizihloniphayo.” Izinguquko ziqala ukusebenza ngoJulayi1, 2020.
Umcimbi ubuphethwe futhi uxhaswe yi-AUTO ebimelwe nguSihlalo wayo, u-Everest Kayondo, iPhini likaSihlalo uBen Ntale, unobhala uFarouk Busulwa, nelungu uBrian Mugume. Isikhulu se-AUTO, uGloria Tumwesigye kanye nethimba lakhe - u-Jonathan Ayinebyona kanye no-Sarah Nakawesi - bathembise ukuxoxisana okufanayo ukuze kunikeze amalungu ithuba lokuxhumana futhi athole izibuyekezo ezindabeni ezibalulekile ezithinta ukusebenza kwawo.
