Indawo yokuhlala ye-White Crane

Izinhlobo eziningi zezilwane nezitshalo sezivele zifakwe eNcwadini Ebomvu. Lokhu kusho ukuthi izinhlobo ezithile zezilwane zisengozini. Ama-Cranes aseSiberia, inqwaba yama-cranes atholakala eRussia kuphela, manje asesondele onqenqemeni oluyingozi kangaka.

Uyazi ukuthi siqonde ukuthini ngempela ngegama elithi “sterkh”? I-Crane yaseSiberia ingomunye wabameleli abakhulu bezinhlobo ze-crane. Kodwa kuze kube manje akukho okuningi okwaziwayo mayelana nalolu hlobo.

Ake siyibhekisise. Okokuqala, ukunaka kudonswa ekubukeni kwenyoni. I-Siberian Crane inkulu kunamanye ama-cranes, kwezinye izindawo ifinyelela ubude obungamamitha angu-1,5, futhi isisindo sayo siphakathi kwamakhilogremu amahlanu kuya kwayisishiyagalombili. Ubude bamaphiko bungamasentimitha angama-200-230, kuye ngokuthi yisiphi isibalo sabantu. Izindiza zamabanga amade azivamile kulolu hlobo; bakhetha ukungayishiyi insimu yabo, lapho benesidleke khona nomndeni.

Uzoyibona le nyoni ngoqhwaku lwayo olude olubomvu, olunezichoko ezibukhali phezulu, okuyisiza ukuba ikwazi ukudla. Futhi, i-Crane yaseSiberia ihlukaniswa ngokuba khona komthunzi obomvu wesikhumba eduze kwamehlo naseduze noqhwaku, kodwa azikho izimpaphe. Yingakho i-crane ibonakala kude. Ngikhuluma ngombala nezinye izici, ngingathanda ukwengeza imilenze emide ebomvana, umugqa ophindwe kabili wezimpaphe emzimbeni, namabala amnyama awolintshi angaba emzimbeni nasentanyeni yama-cranes alolu hlobo ohlwini.

Kuma-Cranes aseSiberia amadala, amehlo avame ukuphuzi, kanti amatshwele azalwa enamehlo aluhlaza, ashintsha umbala kuphela ngemva kwesigamu sonyaka. Isilinganiso sokuphila kwalolu hlobo yiminyaka engamashumi amabili, futhi azikho izinhlobo ezincane ezidaliwe. Inhloko ye-Cranes yaseSiberia ihlukaniswa ngokungaguquki kwendawo futhi ihlala kuphela endaweni yaseRussia, ingalokothi ishiye.

Namuhla, maye, ama-cranes aseNtshonalanga aseSiberia asezoshabalala, kukhona angu-20 kuphela. Lona ngumsebenzi we-International Cranes Conservation Fund, eyavela kudala - ngo-1973, futhi iyacelwa ukuba iqaphe le nkinga.

Njengoba sesike sabhala lapha, u-crane omhlophe uhlomisa isidleke sawo kuphela eRussia, kodwa lapho nje kubanda futhi kuqala nesithwathwa, ziyatheleka zifuna indawo efudumele. Imvamisa, ebusika baseSiberia Cranes eduze nogu loLwandle lweCaspian, noma emaxhaphozini aseNdiya, futhi kwesinye isikhathi enyakatho e-Iran. Ama-cranes abesaba abantu, futhi lokhu kuyafaneleka, njengoba abazingeli abangekho emthethweni batholakala kuwo wonke amajika.

Kodwa lapho nje kufika intwasahlobo, futhi nokufudumala kwayo, ama-Cranes aseSiberia abuyela ezindaweni zawo zokuhlala. Izifunda eziqondile zendawo yazo yi-Komi Republic, enyakatho-mpumalanga ye-Yakutia nase-Arkhangelsk. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi kunzima ukuzibona kwezinye izindawo.

Izindawo ezithandwa kakhulu zama-Cranes aseSiberia amaxhaphozi kanye nezindawo ezinamaxhaphozi, ikakhulukazi, i-tundra nehlathi. Cishe unesithakazelo kulokho ama-cranes amhlophe asebenzisa ekubhaleni. Ukudla kwabo kuhlukahlukene, futhi kuqukethe kokubili uhlaza nenyama: ngaphezu kwemihlanga, uhlaza lwasemanzini kanye nezinhlobo ezithile zamajikijolo, zidla izinhlanzi, amagundane namabhungane ngaphandle kwenjabulo encane. Kodwa ebusika, njengoba bengekho ekhaya, badla izitshalo kuphela.

Ngesikhathi sokufuduka, lezi zidalwa ezibabazekayo azilokothi zithinte izingadi namasimu abantu, ngoba ama-Yakuts akanalutho oluphikisana neqiniso lokuthi ama-cranes akhetha izindawo zawo zokuchitha ubusika.

Njengoba kwaziwa, ngenxa yosongo lokuqothulwa kwenani labantu eYakutia, kwasungulwa indawo yokulondoloza imvelo. Ama-Cranes amaningi aseSiberia athola indawo yawo yokukhosela lapho, manje eseyifihle ngokuphepha kubazingeli nasezinhlekeleleni zemvelo.

Abantu abaningi bayazi ukuthi kukhona empumalanga nasentshonalanga eSiberia Cranes, umehluko phakathi kwabo kuphela endaweni izidleke zabo. Kuyacasula kakhulu ukuthi bobabili baya ngokuya bencipha: abasekho ngaphezu kuka-3000 babo abasele. Kungani inani lama-cranes amhlophe lehla ngokushesha kangaka? Ngokudabukisayo, akukona ukuzingela ngokungemthetho okuyisizathu esiyinhloko, kodwa izimo zemvelo nesimo sezulu esibi, amakhaza nesithwathwa.

Izifunda lapho ama-cranes ahlala khona ziyashintsha, okuyisizathu sesidingo seziqiwi kanye nokuvela kwezindawo ezivalekile ezikhululekile nezifanelekile zendawo yokuhlala evamile yalezi zinyoni. Ebusika, ama-Cranes amaningi aseSiberia andiza e-China, lapho, ngenxa yentuthuko yezobuchwepheshe nesayensi, izindawo ezifanele ukuphila kwezinyoni zinyamalala ngokushesha okukhulu. Ngokuqondene nezindawo zasePakistan, eRussia nase-Afghanistan, abazingeli abangekho emthethweni basongela ama-cranes lapho.

Umsebenzi wokulondoloza inani lama-cranes amhlophe useqhulwini namuhla. Lokhu kwanqunywa ngesikhathi sokwamukelwa kweSivumelwano Sokuvikelwa Kwezilwane Ezifudukela Kwezinye Izifunda. Ososayensi abaningi basemazweni lapho kuhlala khona i-Siberian Cranes bahlangana njalo ngemva kweminyaka emibili engqungqutheleni futhi baxoxe ngezindlela ezintsha zokulondoloza nokuvikela izinyoni ezisengozini.

Uma kucatshangelwa wonke la maqiniso adabukisayo, iphrojekthi ye-Sterkh yadalwa futhi iyasebenza, futhi umsebenzi wayo oyinhloko ukugcina nokuphindaphinda lezi zinhlobo ezingavamile, ezinhle zama-cranes, okwenza ikhono labo lokukhiqiza kabusha uhlobo lwazo kanye nokwandisa inani labantu.

Ekugcineni, kukho konke esikwaziyo, ngingathanda futhi ukuqaphela ukuthi amaqiniso alandelayo: kukhona amathuba aphezulu okuthi ama-Cranes aseSiberia azonyamalala ngokushesha. Ngakho-ke, lesi simo, ngokufanele, siyinkinga yomhlaba wonke ezingeni lomhlaba. Ama-Cranes avikelwe ngazo zonke izindlela futhi azama ukugcina izinombolo zawo, kancane kancane ziyanda.
