Inhlanganiso yeZimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Authority yathi kuphephandaba leZimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Authority kuviki edluleyo iveze ukuthi indlovu ziyizigidi ezilikhulu njalo zinengi kakhulu ukuthi zingaziphatha.
Okhulumela iZimparks, uCaroline Washaya-Moyo, uthe isibalo sezindlovu - okuyisibalo sesithathu ngobukhulu emhlabeni - sikhuza izinsiza eziqiwini zezwe kanti izilwane seziyahlaselwa kalula abazingeli.
“Ukugcinwa komthetho kudinga izinto zokusebenza ezifana nezimpahla zokugada, umfaniswano, izinsiza zokuxhumana ngomsakazo, izimoto, izikebhe, imishini yokulandela umkhondo [isib. GPS],” kusho uWashaya-Moyo.
“Njengamanje iningi lemishini yasensimini isindala futhi ayisasebenzi. Abazingeli abangekho emthethweni sebeba yinkimbinkimbi. Kwezinye izimo abazingela ngokungemthetho basebenzisa amagiya e-hi-tech ahlanganisa okokubona ebusuku, okokuthambisa izilwane, izithulisi nezindiza ezinophephela emhlane.”
Washaya-Moyo uthe, akufani lakwamanye amazwe, iZimparks kayikhokhelwa nguhulumende. Iziphathimandla zezamapaki njengamanje zinamathani angu-62 374.33 amazinyo endlovu abiza u-$15.6-million (cishe izigidi ezingu-R159.5-million), okwakungavunyelwe ukuzithumela kwamanye amazwe njengoba kuhambisana nemithetho ye-Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites). ).
“Ngakho iziphathimandla zithi izindlovu ezigciniwe zimelela izilwane esezifile kakade. Kungani kungafanele sisebenzise abafileyo ukuze banakekele izilwane eziphilayo?” ebuza.
Abalondolozi bemvelo eZimbabwe nokho bayangabaza ngesibalo sezindlovu ezicashuniwe.
Ukubalwa kwabantu kwendlovu okokugcina elizweni kwenziwa ngomnyaka ka 2001, lapho kwabalwa inani lendlovu eHwange National Park. Izilinganiso zezindlovu ezivela ku-International Union for Conservation of Nature database zangonyaka odlule zibonisa izilwane ezilinganiselwa ku-76930 ezweni kanti zingu-47366 kuphela “eziqinisekile”.
"Noma iyiphi inombolo yezindlovu iwukuqagela okungamanga," kusho uSally Wynn, umkhulumeli weZambezi Society.
UJohnny Rodrigues, umgcinisihlalo weZimbabwe Conservation Task Force, uthe iziphathimandla zezamapaki zizama ukusabalalisa "inkulumo-ze" ukuze amaCites avumele ukuthengiswa kwamazinyo endlovu.
“Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule izinombolo zezindlovu ezweni beziphakathi kuka-40000 no-45000 futhi lokho bekusimama. Manje [inombolo yezindlovu] isiyi-100 000. Bayithola kanjani lezo zibalo?” uthe.
I-Cities yavala ukudayiswa kwamazinyo endlovu ngo-1989, kodwa ngo-1997 yavumela iBotswana, iNamibia kanye neZimbabwe ukuthi idayisele iJapan amazinyo endlovu ngo-1999 futhi yavumela ukuthengiswa kwesibili okuhlanganisa iNingizimu Afrika ngo-2008.
UDaphne Sheldrick, ongumlondolozi wemvelo ozinze eNairobi, ngeledlule uthe zibalelwa ku-36000 izindlovu ezabulawa e-Afrika ngonyaka odlule, kanti izindlovu zingase ziphele eminyakeni engu-12.
