Mai i te Wāhi Tākaro ki te Ao: Te Wetewete i te Pānga Taiao o ngā Pākete Tīhi
Humane Foundation
Kupu Whakataki:
Kia ora, e te hunga e aroha ana ki ngā pēkana! Whakaarohia tēnei: kei te totohu koe i tētahi pēkana tīhi reka, momona, me te pārekareka ki ōna reka reka. Engari kua mutu kē koe ki te whakaaro mō ngā pānga whānui ki te taiao e huna ana i muri i taua kai reka? I roto i tēnei pou rangitaki, kei te wetewetehia e mātou te utu huna o tō pēkana tīhi – te tūhura i te pānga nui o te ahuwhenua kararehe, te kaha kei muri i te hanga pēkana, ki tō tātou ao.
Te Tapuwae Waro o te Ahuwhenua Kararehe
Me tīmata tātou mā te ruku hohonu ki te tapuwae waro o te ahuwhenua kararehe, e uru ana ki te whakatipu me te whakaputa uri kararehe mō te mīti me ngā hua miraka.
Ngā Tukunga Methane mai i ngā Kararehe
Kua rongo kē koe i aua pūtu kau rongonui, he methane? Āe, he tūturu rātou, ā, kei te whai wāhi atu rātou ki te huringa āhuarangi. Ka tukuna e ngā kau me ētahi atu kararehe ruminant te methane mā roto i ā rātou tukanga nakunaku, ā, ka whai wāhi nui rātou ki ngā tukunga hau kati kōtuhi.
Ehara i te mea whakakatakata te pānga o tēnei tukunga methane ki te huringa āhuarangi. He nui ake te kaha o te methane ki te whakamahana i te hauhā waro, ahakoa ka tere ake te memeha. Heoi anō, kāore e taea te whakakorekore i te pānga tāpiri o te methane i hangaia e ngā kararehe, ā, me tino aro atu ki tēnei.
E whakaatu ana ngā tatauranga i te nui whakaharahara o ēnei tukunga: e ai ki te whakatau tata, ko te ahuwhenua kararehe te take o te 14-18% o ngā tukunga hau kati kōtuhi katoa e puta mai ana i te tangata puta noa i te ao. He wāhanga nui tēnā!
Te Whakangaromanga i ngā Ngāherehere hei Whakatipu Kararehe me te Whakaputa Whāngai
Kua whakaarohia e koe te nui o te whenua e hiahiatia ana mō te tini o ngā kararehe i roto i te umanga kararehe? Kia rite – he nui whakaharahara.
Ko te whāngai kararehe me te whakaputa kai te take matua o te whakangaromanga o te ngahere puta noa i te ao. He nui ngā whenua e whakawāteahia ana hei wāhi noho mō ngā kararehe, ā, ka nui ake ngā tukunga hauhā. Hei tāpiri, ko te ngaronga o ngā rākau ka nui ake te kino o te huringa āhuarangi nā te mea ko ngā ngahere te kaihopu waro tūturu.
Tirohia ngā rohe motuhake pērā i te Ngāherehere o Amazon, kua ngaro atu ngā whenua nui mō te mahi pāmu kau. Ehara i te mea ka whakangaromia noa ngā pūnaha rauropi utu nui e tēnei whakangaromanga engari ka tukuna atu hoki he nui rawa o te waro kua rongoatia ki te āhuarangi.
Te Parahanga Wai me te Korekore
Ehara i te mea ko te tapuwae waro anake te mea ka mahue mai i te ahuwhenua kararehe – engari ka whai pānga nui hoki ki ngā rauemi wai me te wātea mai o te wai.
Para Kararehe me te Parahanga Wai
Me kōrero tātou mō te paru – arā, te paru kararehe. Ko te nui o te paru e puta mai ana i ngā kararehe he tūmomo mōrearea nui ki ō tātou puna wai.
Ki te kore e whakahaerea tika, ka taea e ngā paru kararehe te whakapoke i ngā awa, ngā roto, me te wai whenua, ka puta he parahanga kino. Ka whakaitihia e tēnei parahanga ngā taumata hāora i roto i te wai, ka whakamate i ngā mea ora i roto i te wai, ka hanga hoki i ngā "rohe mate." Hei tāpiri, ko te nui o ngā matūkai i roto i ngā paru kararehe ka arahi ki te eutrophication, ka whakatairanga i te tipu nui o te rimurimu e kino ai ngā pūnaha rauropi.
Te Whakamahinga Wai Nui rawa atu i roto i te Ahuwhenua Kararehe
He iti noa te wai, te rauemi tino nui mō tātou. Heoi anō, he nui te wai e pau ana i ngā mahi ahuwhenua kararehe, ā, ka nui ake te taumahatanga ki ngā puna wai kua kore e taea te whakarato.
Whakaarohia tēnei – e tata ana ki te 1,800 ki te 2,500 karani wai e hiahiatia ana hei whakaputa i te kotahi pauna mīti kau. Ki te whakatauritea ki ētahi atu ahumahi, ko te ahuwhenua kararehe te take nui o te whakamahinga nui o tā tātou rauemi tino utu nui.
E hono ana tēnei whakamahinga kino o te wai ki te raruraru o te korenga o te wai o te ao, nō reira he mea nui kia arotake anō i ā tātou kaupapa matua me te kimi huarahi pumau hei whakatutuki i ā tātou matea kai me te kore e whakapiki ake i te taumahatanga.
Te Ngaronga o te Kanorau Koiora me te Whakangaromanga o te Nohoanga
Ehara i te mea ko te tapuwae waro me te wai anake te pānga o te ahuwhenua kararehe ki te taiao – engari he pānga kino ki te kanorau koiora me ngā nohoanga o tō tātou ao.
Te Tūkino ki ngā Pūnaha Rauropi Ngāwari
Ka whai wāhi tika te ahuwhenua kararehe ki te ngaronga me te whakangaromanga o ngā nohoanga. Ka whakahoroa ngā ngahere kia nui ake ai ngā kararehe, ka pā ki ngā rauropi ngoikore, ā, ka peia te tini o ngā momo kararehe.
He tino raruraru te hurihanga whenua mō te ahuwhenua kararehe i ngā wāhi wera nui o te kanorau koiora me ngā rohe kei reira ngā momo kararehe e tata ana ki te ngaro, ā, ka neke atu rātou ki te pari o te ngaro.
Te Pirautanga o te Oneone me te Ngaronga o te Whenua Mahi Ahuwhenua
Ahakoa ka whakaitihia te kanorau koiora o runga i te whenua e te ahuwhenua kararehe, ka kino anō hoki ki te oneone kei raro i ō tātou waewae.
Ko te whāinga o ngā mahi ahuwhenua tauwhiro he tiaki i te hauora me te momona o te oneone; heoi, i roto i te maha o ngā pūnaha ahuwhenua kararehe kaha , ehara i te mea koinei te āhua. Ko te nui rawa o te kai me te whakahaere paru koretake ka whai wāhi ki te horo o te oneone, ka memeha te oneone o runga, ka whakaiti i tōna kaha ki te tautoko i te tipu o ngā hua.
Ka tūpono te pirau o te oneone mō te wā roa ki te haumarutanga kai me te pumau o te ahuwhenua, ka hangaia he huringa kino o te memeha haere o ngā rauemi.
Whakakōhatutanga
I a tātou e whakaoti ana i tā tātou haerenga ki ngā utu huna mō te taiao o tāu tīhi parāoa e arohaina nei, he mea nui kia maumahara tonu ki te pānga nui o te ahuwhenua kararehe ki tō tātou ao. Ko te tapuwae waro, te parahanga me te korenga o te wai, te ngaronga o te kanorau koiora, me te whakangaromanga o ngā nohoanga, he pānga katoa ēnei e hiahia ana kia arohia tonutia.
Ahakoa te āhua koretake o ngā whiringa kai whaiaro i roto i te kaupapa whānui, he mea nui ia taahiraa iti. Mā te whakatau whai whakaaro, te tautoko i ngā huarahi kē atu e whai hua ana, me te tautoko i ngā huringa, ka taea e tātou te anga tahi ki tētahi huarahi e pai ake ana ki te taiao.
Nō reira, ā te wā e ngau anō ai koe i tētahi tīhi pāpaka reka, kia maumahara ki te haerenga i mahia - mai i te pāki ki te ao whānui - ā, kia waiho taua mōhiotanga hei whakahihiko i a koe kia hanga he rerekētanga.
