Ihlathi lemvula lase-Amazon, elivame ukubizwa ngokuthi “amaphaphu omhlaba,” libhekene nenkinga engakaze ibonwe. Nakuba ukugawulwa kwamahlathi kudala kwaqashelwa njengenkinga yezemvelo ebucayi, imbangela eyinhloko yalokhu kucekelwa phansi ngokuvamile ayinakwa. Ukukhiqizwa kwenyama yenkomo, imboni ebonakala ingahlobene, empeleni iyimbangela ecashile yokususwa okukhulu kwalesi simiso sezinto eziphilayo esibalulekile. Naphezu kokwehla kwakamuva kwamazinga okugawulwa kwamahlathi emazweni afana ne-Brazil kanye ne-Colombia, isidingo senyama yenkomo siyaqhubeka nokubhebhezela ukucekelwa phansi kwe-Amazon. Imibiko yophenyo iveze imikhuba ethusayo “njengokugezwa” kwezinkomo ezifuywe ngokungemthetho emasimini oMdabu, okuqhubeza phambili inkinga. Njengomkhiqizi ohamba phambili emhlabeni wenyama yenkomo, izinga lokugawulwa kwamahlathi eBrazil cishe liphezulu kunabikiwe, liqhutshwa ukufunwa kwenyama ebomvu emhlabeni jikelele. Lokhu kugawulwa kwamahlathi okuqhubekayo akugcini nje ngokusongela izigidi zezinhlobo zezinto eziphilayo ezibizwa ngokuthi ikhaya lase-Amazon kodwa futhi kubukela phansi indima ebalulekile yehlathi ekukhiqizeni umoya-mpilo kanye nokukhipha isikhutha. Ukuphuthuma ukubhekana nalolu daba kubaluleke kakhulu, njengoba i-Amazon ibhekene nezinsongo ezengeziwe zokushintsha kwesimo sezulu kanye nezigameko zomlilo ezandayo.

Isizathu Sangempela Sokulahlekelwa Ihlathi Lemvula lase-Amazon? Ukukhiqizwa Kwenyama Yenkomo

Ukugawulwa kwamahlathi, ukugawulwa kwezihlahla noma amahlathi, kuyinkinga ekhathaza umhlaba wonke, kodwa enye imboni inecala elikhulu.
Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi ukugawulwa kwamahlathi eBrazil naseColombia, amazwe amabili aqukethe ingxenye enkulu yehlathi lase-Amazon, kwehla ngo-2023. Nokho, umbiko wophenyo owanyatheliswa ngonyaka odlule wathola ukuthi kugawulwe izihlahla ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-800 eBrazil kusukela ngo-2017 kuya ku-2022—ngonyaka imboni yenkomo yesizwe, ethumela emazweni omhlaba, kuhlanganise ne-United States.
Eqinisweni, iBrazil iyindawo ehamba phambili yokuthekelisa inyama yenkomo emhlabeni, futhi ukugawulwa kwamahlathi ezweni kungase kuphakame nakakhulu kunalokho umphakathi obungakwazi.
Umbiko wango -2024 uveze "ukugezwa" kwezinkulungwane zezinkomo ezifuywe ngokungemthetho emhlabeni okungewaboHlanga e-Amazon, zabe sezithunyelwa kubafuyi, okwathi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi lezi zilwane zakhuliswa ngokuphelele ngaphandle kokugawulwa kwamahlathi lapho bezithengisa ezindaweni zokulahla abakhiqizi abakhulu njenge-JBS. .
Isidingo somhlaba wonke senyama ebomvu, esisamile kahle nakuba inyama yenkomo ilimaza imvelo kanye nomthelela wayo omubi empilweni yomuntu ngamunye, ibhebhezela le nkinga.
Amahlathi ayinethiwekhi ebalulekile yokwesekwa kwezinhlobo ezihlala kuwo. Ihlathi lemvula lase-Amazon lilodwa liyindawo yokuhlala yezigidi zezinhlobo zezitshalo nezilwane—esinye sesimiso sezinto eziphilayo ezinhlobonhlobo kakhulu emhlabeni.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, amahlathi abalulekile ngisho nokuphila okungaphezu kwawo. Njengolwandle, amahlathi adlala indima ebalulekile ekukhiqizeni omunye womoya-mpilo esiwuphefumulayo futhi athathe igesi eyingozi ebamba ukushisa, i-carbon dioxide (CO2), emkhathini wethu.
Kufanele siqhubeke nokulwa nokugawulwa kwamahlathi ngoba amahlathi ethu abhekana nezinye izinsongo. Isibonelo, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yesomiso nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, kube khona imililo okungenani engamaphesenti angama-61 e-Amazon phakathi nezinyanga eziyisithupha zokuqala zika-2024 uma kuqhathaniswa nesikhathi esifanayo ngo-2023.
I -United Nations Environment Programme iyabhala , “Amahlathi abalulekile ukuze kugcinwe izinga lokushisa embulungeni yonke lifinyelela ku-2C. Bangabaza bethu bemvelo abangcono kakhulu ekwehliseni ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni kuyilapho sithuthukisa izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo kanye nezinzuzo ze-ecosystem.
Kodwa-ke, ngo-2021, ososayensi bathola ukuthi i-Amazon yayikhipha ikhabhoni eningi kunaleyo eyayiyigcina okokuqala—isikhumbuzo esiqinile sokuthi ukugawulwa kwamahlathi kusiqhubezela phambili enkingeni yesimo sezulu.
Ukugawulwa kwamahlathi kungase kubonakale kuyinkinga ephuma ezandleni zethu njengabantu ngabanye, kodwa isikhathi ngasinye lapho udla, ukhetha ukuthi uzovikela yini izihlahla namahlathi ethu.
Ngokugcwalisa ipuleti lakho ngokudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni esikhundleni semikhiqizo yezilwane (ikakhulukazi inyama yenkomo), ukhetha ukungasekeli umlandu omkhulu ekugawulweni kwehlathi: ukulima kwezilwane.
Ungase futhi uzwakalise ukusekela eminye yemizamo ephumelela kakhulu yokulondoloza amahlathi: leyo eholwa aboMdabu evikela umhlaba osekunesikhathi eside behlala kuwo. Ucwaningo lwakamuva lubonisa ukugawulwa kwamahlathi okunciphe ngamaphesenti angu-83 ezindaweni zase-Amazon ezivikelwe imiphakathi yaboMdabu.
