He mau lāhui ʻelua nā ʻelepani ma Kenya a me Tanzania!

ʻO ke kamaʻāina kaulua ʻole ʻia he kānāwai ʻole; ʻAʻole kūpale wale nā ​​ʻelepani i ke kānāwai i hana ʻia e ke kanaka i kēlā lā i kēia lā, akā ke hoʻopuka nei nō hoʻi i ka loaʻa kālā mākaʻikaʻi e makemake nui ʻia no Tanzania a me kona hoalauna ʻākau.

ʻO Kenya's Amboseli National Park Assistant Warden Ua haʻi aku ʻo Daniel Kipkosgey i kahi papahana hoʻololi aʻo ke aʻo palena palena i loaʻa nā jumbos like ma Amboseli ma Kilimanjaro National Park, Tanzania hoʻi.

"ʻAi nā ʻelepa i ka Amboseli National Park i ka manawa o ke ao a i ke ahiahi i ka palena i Kilimanjaro National Park ma Tanzania e hiamoe ai," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia, me ke koʻikoʻi: "Hana ʻia kēia i kēlā me kēia lā i loko o ka makahiki." 

Kūkākūkā ʻia kahi ʻaha kūkā, nā alakaʻi a me kahi ʻaelike ma waena o Kenya a me Tanzania no ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻāpana passport ʻelua kupa ma ke ʻano he kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe. 

Mahalo iā European Union (EU) no ke kākoʻo kālā ʻana i ka papahana Pan-ʻApelika e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ke kamaʻilio trans-palena ma waena o nā luna holoholona a me nā keʻena mai nā ʻāina ʻelua no lākou e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ka mālama ʻana i nā alaloa o nā holoholona hihiu a e kamaʻilio i nā pilikia kūpilikiʻi e kū nei i ke ala o nā kamaʻāina pālua.

ʻO nā kūlana e hoʻohuli nei i ka noho ʻana o nā elepani ma Kenya ʻokoʻa i nā mea ma Tanzania; hiki i nā conservationist ma nā ʻāina ʻelua ke hoʻokele i nā ʻelepani me ka maikaʻi inā maopopo iā lākou.

Hoʻopili kēia i ka makemake politika, nā papa hana mālama kānāwai, ka hoʻokele a me ka mālama ʻana i nā wahi mālama, ke kālā, ke aʻo ʻana, nā hakakā a nā holoholona holoholona a inā paha ʻaʻole i mālama ʻia nā palapala ʻāina alanui a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.

ʻO Oikos East ʻApelika me ka laulima pū ʻana me ka Center Conservation ʻApelika i kōkua ʻia i ka papahana hoʻolilo aʻo palena ʻāina i hāʻawi ʻia e EU i kapa ʻia ʻo CONNEKT (Conservation Neighboring Ecosystems ma Kenya a me Tanzania) ma waena o Iulai a ʻAukake i kēia makahiki. 

Ua aʻo nā luna ʻāhiu a me nā bureaucrats mai nā ʻāina ʻelua i nā ʻokoʻa o ka hoʻokele hoʻokokoke ʻana a me nā pilikia ʻē aʻe e pili ana i ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻelepani ma ka ʻōnaehana kaiaola ʻo Amboseli-Kilimanjaro ma o ka palena ʻo Kenya-Tanzania.

Ua hui pū lākou me nā luna kiʻekiʻe mai Amboseli, Arusha a me Kilimanjaro National Parks; nā ʻelele o ka Olgulului-Olorashi Group Ranch a me Amboseli Area ma Kenya; nā luna o nā wahi hoʻokele holoholona a me nā conservancies, ʻo ia ʻo Enduimet WMA, Conservancy ʻo Kitirua a me Rombo Conservancy; a me nā limahana hoʻokele holoholona nui mai Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority (TAWA) a me ka moku ʻo Longido.

 Ma waho o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i nā ʻike a me ke aʻo ʻana e pili ana i nā pilikia mālama mai Kenya a me Tanzania, ua ʻimi pū nā luna i nā manawa kūpono no ke kākau pū ʻana i nā noi hāʻawi.  

Ua ʻike lākou, i waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe, aia ka manaʻo politika i ka mālama ʻana i ka palena palena ma waena o nā kaona o East Africa Community (EAC) kahi o Kenya a me Tanzania i lālā.

ʻO nā luna aupuni kiʻekiʻe i hoʻokumu ʻia ma ka palena ʻo Kenya-Tanzania e hui mau nei e kūkākūkā i nā pilikia pili i ka palena, me ka palekana o nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe.

Ua kipa aku nā luna ʻāhiu a me nā bureaucrats i nā pūnaewele like ʻole e kālailai a hoʻohālikelike i nā mea e hoʻoweliweli i ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻelepani ma nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua a ʻike i nā synergies a me nā ʻokoʻa.

Ke hele nei i ke kūlana mālama o nā pāka aupuni, ua kūpono ʻo Kilimanjaro-Amboseli Ecosystem e lilo i Man a me Biosphere Reserve. ʻOiai ʻike ʻia ʻo Kilimanjaro National Park e UNESCO ma ke ʻano he ʻāina hoʻoilina kūlohelohe, ʻo Amboseli National Park kahi Man a me Biosphere Reserve.

Na Kenya Wildlife Service ke kuleana no ka mālama ʻana i nā holoholona āpau āpau ʻoiai ʻo Tanzania National Parks e mālama i nā holoholona hihiu wale nō ma nā pāka aupuni wale nō, akā ʻo TAWA ke nānā aku i nā holoholona lōhiu i nā waihona holoholona hihiu a me nā alaloa holoholona me nā ʻano mālama e ʻokoʻa ana mai nā mea i hoʻohana ʻia no nā pāka aupuni.

Nā ʻokoʻa i ke ʻano o ka mālama ʻana o Kenya a me Tanzania i kā lākou kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe i nā ʻōnaehana noho ʻāina pū kekahi. I Kenya, aia nā pāka aupuni i nā ʻāina kaiāulu ma Tanzania i nā ʻāina lehulehu.  

ʻO nā holoholona hihiu i nā kaiāulu a i ʻole nā ​​ʻāina ʻona pilikino ma Kenya hiki ke loaʻa pinepine ʻia ma 'conservancies', ʻoiai ma Tanzania hiki ke loaʻa ma ka ʻāina kaiāulu i kapa ʻia ʻo WMA. ʻO nā conservancies ka like o WMA ma Tanzania.

I kēia manawa, noi ʻo Kenya a me Tanzania i nā kulekele hoʻokele a i ʻole nā ​​kaʻina hana kūʻokoʻa i kekahi i kekahi. Pono e laulima i kēia mau mea e hoʻonui i ka pale o ka Kilimanjaro-Amboseli Ecosystem nui loa i ka honua. 

Hoʻonohonoho hou ʻia nā luna ʻāhiu a me nā bureaucrats e hui hou i ka hapaha hope o ka makahiki no kahi forum cross-border follow-up e hoʻomohala hou i nā manaʻo mua a me nā papahana hui pū.
