MOKUAHI KOMODO, ʻInidonesia - He niho manō me nā lāʻau ʻawaʻawa nā Komodo derons e hiki ke pepehi i ke kanaka i loko o nā hola o ka nahu. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole makaʻu nā kamaʻāina i noho mau makahiki ma kahi o ka moʻo nui loa o ka honua - a hiki i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā deragona e hoʻouka.
Hoʻolahalaha koke nā moʻolelo ma kēia wāwahi ʻia o nā mokupuni tropical ma ka hema hikina o Indonesia, kahi wale nō e ʻike ʻia ai nā mea kolo e kokoke ana i ka nāhelehele: Ua make he ʻelua mau kānaka mai ka makahiki 2007 - he keikikāne a me kahi lawaiʻa - a ua hōʻeha ʻeha ʻia kekahi poʻe ma hope o ka hoʻopiʻi ʻia ʻana. hoʻopiʻi ʻole ʻia.
Kākaʻikahi ka hoʻouka kaua deragona Komodo, e hoʻomaopopo ka poʻe loea. Akā ke ʻōwili nei ka makaʻu ma nā kauhale lawaiʻa, me nā nīnau e pili ana i ka maikaʻi e noho ai me nā deragona i ka wā e hiki mai ana.
ʻO Main, kahi mea mālama papa paka 46 makahiki, e hana pepa ana i ka wā i hele aku ai kahi deragona i ke alapiʻi o kāna hale lāʻau ma Komodo National Park a hele aku no kona mau kuʻekuʻe wāwae e kau ana ma lalo o ka pākaukau. I ka wā i hoʻāʻo ka luna e wehe i nā iwi ā o ka holoholona, ua laka ʻia kona mau niho i kona lima.
"Ua manaʻo wau ʻaʻole wau e ola ... ua hoʻohana wau i ka hapalua o koʻu ola e hana pū ana me Komodos a ʻaʻole wau i ʻike i kekahi mea e like me ia," i ʻōlelo ʻo Main, e kuhikuhi ana i kāna mau ʻōpala, i humuhumu ʻia me 55 humuhumu a pehu nō naʻe ʻekolu mau mahina ma hope. "Laki, ua lohe koʻu mau hoaaloha i kaʻu ʻuwē ʻana a lawe iaʻu i ka haukapila i ka manawa."
ʻO Komodos, kahi i makemake nui ʻia ma nā zoo ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a i ʻEulopa, ulu a 10 kapuaʻi (3 mika) ka lōʻihi a me 150 paona (70 kilo). Hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā 2,500 i koe i ka nahelehele ma loko o ka 700-square-mile (1,810-square-mile) ʻo Komodo National Park, ka hapanui ma kāna mau mokupuni nui ʻelua, ʻo Komodo a me Rinca. Ua hoʻopau ʻia nā moʻo ma kahi kokoke iā Padar i nā makahiki 1980 i ka wā i luku ai nā mea alualu i kā lākou mea pio nui, dia.
ʻOiai ʻaʻohe kūpono i ka lawaiʻa ʻana, ka nui o ka paka - a me ka hapa o nā rangers - aneane hiki ʻole ke mākaʻikaʻi, i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Heru Rudiharto, he loeaola a me ka mea kolo kolo. Wahi a ka poʻe kamaʻāina ua pōloli nā ʻīlio hihiu a ʻoi aku ka huhū i nā kānaka no ka mea ua ʻānai ʻia kā lākou meaʻai, ʻoiai ʻaʻole wikiwiki nā luna o ka pāka e kūlike ʻole.
ʻO nā moʻo nunui ka mea weliweli loa, wahi a Rudiharto. Eia nō naʻe ke ʻano hiki ke nānā ʻia, e waiho ana ma lalo o nā kumulāʻau a nānā i ke kai mai nā kahakai one keʻokeʻo, wikiwiki, ikaika a make hoʻi lākou.
Ua manaʻo ʻia ua iho nā holoholona mai kahi moʻo nui ma ka mokupuni nui o Indonesia ʻo Java a ʻo Australia paha ma kahi o 30,000 mau makahiki i hala. Hiki iā lākou ke piʻi i nā wikiwiki a hiki i 18 mile (kokoke 30 mau mile) i kēlā me kēia hola, ke kīwī nei ko lākou mau wāwae a puni i ko lākou mau poʻohiwi haʻahaʻa a ʻehā e like me ka poʻe manu hua manu.
Ke hopu lākou i kā lākou mea pio, lawe lākou i kahi spree biting spree e hoʻokuʻu i ka lāʻau make, e like me kahi noiʻi hou i kēia mahina i ka puke pai ʻOihana o ka National Academy of Science. ʻO nā mea kākau, nāna i hoʻohana i nā ʻōpala i ʻokiʻoki ʻia mai kahi deragona maʻi ma ka Zoo o Singapore, ua hoʻokuʻu i ke kumumanaʻo e make ka mea pio mai ka lāʻau make koko i hoʻokumu ʻia e nā koʻohune ʻino i ka waha o ka moʻo.
“ʻO nā niho lōʻihi a lōʻihi ka mea kaua mua. Hāʻawi lākou i kēia mau ʻeha hohonu, hohonu, "wahi a Bryan Fry o ke Kulanui o Melbourne. "Akā mālama ka ʻona i ke kahe a hoʻohaʻahaʻa hou i ke kahe o ke koko, no laila e hoʻokokoke aku nei i ka holoholona."
ʻEhā mau kānaka i make i nā makahiki he 35 i hala (2009, 2007, 2000 a me 1974) a ma ka liʻiliʻi he ʻewalu i hōʻeha ʻia i loko o ke anahulu wale nō. Akā ua ʻōlelo nā luna o ka pāka ʻaʻole nui ka pīhoihoi o kēia helu i ka hāʻawi mau ʻia o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi a me nā poʻe 4,000 e noho nei i waenakonu o lākou.
"I kēlā me kēia manawa ke hoʻouka kaua, ʻike nui ʻia ia," wahi a Rudiharto. "Akā ʻo ia no ka mea he exotic kēia moʻo, archaic, a ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa ma nā wahi āpau akā ma aneʻi."
Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole hiki i nā hoʻouka kaua hou ke hele mai i kahi manawa ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.
Ke neʻe ikaika nei ke aupuni e kiʻi i ka pāka i kahi papa inoa hou o ʻEhiku Kupanaha o Kūlohelohe - he kī lōʻihi, akā he hoʻāʻo e hoʻāla i ka ʻike. ʻO nā puʻu ʻoʻoleʻa a me nā savannahs kahi home o nā manu ʻalani wawae, he puaʻa hihiu a me nā lio hihiu liʻiliʻi, a me nā ʻākoʻakoʻa e pili ana a me nā kahawai e kū nei ma mua o ke kakini o nā kohola kohola, nā dolphins a me nā kuhukukū kai.
ʻO Claudio Ciofi, ka mea e hana nei ma ke Keʻena ʻo Biology Animal a me Genetics ma ke Kulanui o Florence ma ʻItalia, i ʻōlelo inā inā pōloli nā komodos, hoihoi paha lākou i nā kauhale e ka ʻala o ka iʻa maloʻo a me ka kuke ʻana, a "hiki i nā hālāwai ke hele pinepine pinepine. ”
Makemake nā kamaʻāina ua maopopo iā lākou ka pane.
'Lelo lākou ua noho maluhia lākou me Komodos. Wahi a kahi moʻolelo kuʻuna kaulana e pili ana i ke kāne i mare mua ʻia i kahi deragona "aliʻi wahine." ʻO kā lāua māhoe, kahi keikikāne kāne, ʻo Gerong, a me kahi kaikamahine moʻo, ʻo Orah, i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia i ka wā hānau.
I ka wā i nui ai ʻo Gerong, hele ka moʻolelo, ua hālāwai ʻo ia me kahi holoholona ʻāhiu loko o ka nahele. Iā ia nō naʻe e pili ana i ka ʻōʻō ihe, ua kū mai kona makuahine, a hōʻike aku iā ia he kaikaina a kaikuahine hoʻi lāua.
"Pehea e hiki ai i nā deragona ke hele i loko o ka hakakā?" ʻO Hajj Amin, 51, e lohi lohi ana i kāna mau ʻaka paka, ʻoiai nā ʻelemakule kauhale ʻē aʻe e ʻākoakoa ana ma lalo o kahi hale lāʻau ma luna o nā lāʻau kūlou. Ua lohi kekahi mau deragona ma kahi kokoke, ua huki ʻia e ka honi o ka iʻa e hoʻomaloʻo ana i nā moena ʻohe ma lalo o ka lā e ʻā ana. E holoholo pū ana hoʻi he mau kao a me nā moa.
"ʻAʻole lākou i hoʻouka kaua iā mākou ke hele wāwae mākou i ka nahele, a i ʻole hōʻeha i kā mākou poʻe keiki," wahi a Amin. "Ke hopohopo maoli nei mākou āpau i kēia."
ʻAi nā deragona i ka 80 pakeneka o ko lākou kaupaona a laila hele me ka ʻole o ka ʻai no kekahi mau pule. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Amin a me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe ua pōloli kekahi o nā deragona ma muli o kahi kulekele 1994 e pāpā ana i nā kamaʻāina mai ka hānai ʻana iā lākou.
"Ua hāʻawi mākou iā lākou i nā iwi a me nā ʻili o ka dia," wahi a ka lawaiʻa.
Ua ʻimi ʻae nā kamaʻāina i kahi ʻae e hānai i nā puaʻa ʻāhiu i nā Komodos i nā manawa he nui i ka makahiki, akā ua ʻōlelo nā luna o ka paka ʻaʻole e hiki.
"Inā mākou e ʻae i ka poʻe e hānai iā lākou, e palaualelo wale lākou a lilo i ko lākou hiki ke alualu," wahi a Jeri Imansyah, kekahi loea kolo kolo. "I kekahi lā, e pepehi ia iā lākou. ”
ʻO ka hoʻouka kaua i hoʻomaka mua e makaʻala i nā kamaʻāina i hana ʻia i ʻelua mau makahiki i hala aku nei, i ka wā i luku ʻia ai ʻo Mansyur nona ka makahiki he 8 i ka wā e hemo ana i ka nahele lāʻau ma hope o kona hale lāʻau.
Ua noi ka poʻe no ka kūkulu ʻia ʻana o kahi pā pōhaku he 6 kapuaʻi (2-mika) e pili ana i ko lākou mau kauhale, akā ua hōʻole ʻia kēlā manaʻo. Ua ʻōlelo ke poʻo o ka paka, ʻo Tamen Sitorus: “He noi ʻē. ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kūkulu i ka pā e like me kēlā i loko o kahi pāka aupuni! ”
Ua hana ka poʻe kamaʻāina i kahi pale āpana mai nā kumulāʻau a haki nā lālā, akā ʻōhumu lākou maʻalahi loa i nā holoholona ke haki.
"Makaʻu loa mākou i kēia manawa," wahi a Riswan, 11 ona makahiki, e hoʻomanaʻo nei i ka hala ʻana o kekahi mau pule i hala aku nei ua ʻuwī nā haumāna ke ʻike lākou i kekahi o nā moʻo nunui i loko o kahi pā lepo ma hope o kā lākou kula. "Ua manaʻo mākou e komo ana ia i loko o kā mākou lumi papa. Ma hope ua hiki iā mākou ke alualu iā ia i kahi puʻu ma ka hoʻolei ʻana i nā pōhaku a me ka ʻuwā ʻana iā 'Hoohh Hoohh.' ”
A laila, ʻelua wale nō mahina i hala aku nei, ua pepehi ʻia ka lawaiʻa ʻo Muhamad Anwar nona ka makahiki 31 i kona wā i hehi ai i kahi moʻo i ka mauʻu iā ia e hele ana i kahi māla e ʻohi i nā hua mai kahi kumu kō.
ʻOiai hopohopo nā mākaʻi kiaʻi.
Ua hala nā lā o ka hele a puni me nā moʻo, ke kīkī nei i ko lākou mau huelo, e ʻapo ana i ko lākou kua a holo i mua o lākou, me he mea lā e alualu ʻia ana lākou, wahi a Muhamad Saleh, ka mea i hana pū me nā holoholona mai 1987.
"ʻAʻole hou," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia, e hāpai ana i kahi lāʻau he 6 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi (2-mika) ma kahi āna e hele ai no ka pale. A laila, i ka hana hou ʻana i kahi laina kaulana na ka haku mele kaulana loa o Indonesia, ua ʻōlelo hou ʻo ia: "Makemake au e noho no hoʻokahi tausani makahiki hou aku."
