Playa Grande, Costa Rica - Ma kahi pō mālie i Pepeluali, i ka wā i hāʻule ai ke anuanu o ka hoʻoilo ma ʻAmelika Hema, ua huki ʻia nā kuhukukū ʻili i ka nui o nā kaʻa kolepa i kau i kēia kahakai tropical e hoʻomoe i kā lākou mau hua.
Eia nō naʻe kahi hele wāwae one wale nō, i ke kai heʻe nalu o Tamarindo, ke hoʻolilo nei ka hoʻomohala huakaʻi holo i ke kai i kahi waipuna hāmama.
Ua mālama ʻia nā hoʻokolohua maikaʻi e ka wai e ka Water and Sewer Institute (AyA) o ka makahiki i ka makahiki i hala i ʻike ʻia ka haumia fecal ma luna o nā pae i manaʻo ʻia e ka United States Protection Agency (EPA).
ʻO kēia mau mea kūlike ʻole i kēia manawa kahi ʻāpana o ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā, no ka mea, ʻo kēia ecohaven ka nui o West Virginia e hakakā nei e hana me kahi mākaʻikaʻi a me ka ulu ulu i ʻekolu manawa ka awelika o ka honua.
"Welina i ka Costa Rica ʻaʻole makemake nā mea hoʻolaha e hoʻolohe iā ʻoe," i ʻōlelo ʻo Gadi Amit, alakaʻi alakaʻi ʻole o kahi hui activist kūloko i kapa ʻia ʻo Guanacaste Brotherhood Association.
I nā makahiki he 600 i hala iho nei, ua piʻi ka hana o nā hōkele, nā home ʻelua, a me nā condominiums i nā wahi kai, e hoʻohana pono ana i ka hakahaka o ka hoʻolālā a me ka hoʻokō ʻana. ʻO ka nui o ka ʻāpana ʻāina i hoʻomohala ʻia e ulu ana he XNUMX pākēneka i kēlā manawa, e like me ka hōʻike aupuni.
A ʻo kahi hopena, ke nalowale nei nā meaolaola i makemake nui i nā malihini kipa e nalowale ana, wahi a ka poʻe ʻepekema. Ke hāʻule nei nā mōneka a me nā manu kuhukukū, a ua hoʻokaumaha ʻia nā ʻōnaehana i kahi kokoke i kahi haʻihaʻi.
I kēia manawa kahi o nā pōʻino kūpilikiʻi weliweli i hopu ʻia e ke aupuni i kahi kaua ma waena o nā mea hoʻopukapuka a me nā mea hoʻomalu e makemake ana e pale i nā waiwai kūlohelohe.
"He manuahi kēia no ka poʻe āpau," wahi a Mr. Amit, "a ke uku ʻia nei nā kaiāulu kūloko a me ke kaiapuni. Inā ʻaʻole i hana koke ʻia kekahi mea ... ʻaʻohe kumu i koe no ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e hele mai i aneʻi. ”
ʻO ka hōʻike a Costa Rica i mahalo nui ʻia, hōʻike ʻole ʻia e ka mokuʻāina nonpartisan o ka Nation i hōʻike ʻia i ka lole holoi lepo o ka ʻāina i ka mahina ʻo Nowemapa i hala, e pīhoihoi ana i ka nūpepa a me ka lehulehu.
Ua hōʻike ʻia nā helu helu he 97 ka pākēneka o kā Costa Rica kahe o ka wai i mālama ʻole ʻia i loko o nā kahawai, nā kahawai, a i ʻole ke kai, a ʻoi aku ka nui o 300,000 mau tona o nā ʻōpala i waiho ʻole ʻia ma nā alanui i ka makahiki 2006. i kahi ʻāina e hāʻule ana i ka 20 kapuaʻi ua i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
ʻOiai ka haunaele, aia ma lalo o ka hapahā o nā kūlanakauhale kahakai ka hoʻolālā zoning e kaulike i ka hoʻomohala huakaʻi me nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe a me nā lawelawe aupuni e like me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe wai a me ka lako o ka lehulehu
Ua hoʻoholo nā mea kākau o ka hōʻike ua "nele ke aupuni i ka hoʻokō politika" e hōʻemi i ka hopena o ke kaiapuni, a "nele ka hoihoi" o nā mea hoʻopukapuka.
ʻO ke koi ʻana i ke kūkā kamaʻilio ʻana i nā pilikia ua lilo i mantra o ka neʻe ʻana o ka nohona kaiāulu. Ke hoʻonohonoho nei nā mea hana kaiāulu, waiho i nā hoʻopiʻi, e kāhea ana i nā kapu e hoʻomohala, a koi i ko lākou kuleana kumukānāwai i kahi "ʻano olakino."
I ka makahiki i hala, ua kū ka nui o nā hōʻike weliweli i ko lākou makaʻu.
ʻO ka lehulehu o nā mōneka, nā hōʻailona o ka ululāʻau ua a me kahi mea mākaʻikaʻi charismatic, ua hōʻole ʻia i kahi 50 pakeneka i ʻoi aku ma mua o kahi mau makahiki he XNUMX, e like me kahi hōʻike o kahi hui o nā ʻepekema holoholona hihiu.
Ma ke komohana ʻākau ma ke komohana ʻākau o Guanacaste, ʻaʻole lohe ʻia nā hōkele hanohano a me nā condominium. Akā ma kēlā mau kapakai e hoʻonui ʻia ana, i poni mua ʻia e like me ke Gold Coast, ʻo ia nā ʻano noho i kēia manawa ka maʻamau.
ʻO kēia mau hanana holomua, me kā lākou mauʻu lawaiʻa maikaʻi ʻia a me nā papa kolepa, hana i kahi wai momona, wai momona e hānai ana i nā caulerpa sertularioides, kahi ʻano limu o nā limu e hoʻopulapula nei i nā koʻa kai ma ke kahawai o Papagayo.
"He pōʻino kaiaola ia," i ʻōlelo ʻia e ka mea kālaimeaola kai ʻo Cindy Fernández, nāna i hala ka makahiki i ka helu ʻana i nā mea i hōʻino ʻia.
Hoʻoweliweli pū ʻia nā kuhukukū, kahi punahele mākaʻikaʻi ʻē aʻe. Ua heleleʻi ka heluna kanaka o ka leatherback Pasifika weliweli loa i ka 97 pakeneka i loko o 20 mau makahiki, i ʻōlelo ʻia e nā ʻepekema. ʻOiai ke kū nei nā ʻōlelo hoʻoweliweli mai ka lawaiʻa ʻana a i ka hoʻomehana honua, manaʻo ka poʻe ʻepekema he nui ka hoʻomohala ʻana, ʻo ia hoʻi ma nā kahakai ʻo Costa Rica, ʻo ia paha ka mauʻu hope loa.
Ua lohi ke aupuni e hōʻuluʻulu i ka pale o nā honu.
"Ua māʻona nā kānaka āpau," wahi a Frank Paladino, he biologist a me ka hope pelekikena o The Leatherback Trust, kahi mea nonprofit i hoʻokumu ʻia ma New Jersey i hōʻiliʻili ʻia he mau miliona miliona e pale aku i nā kuhukukū. ʻO ka hui, huhū a me ka manaʻo koʻikoʻi mai nā mea hāʻawi, i wāwahi iho nei i kahi ʻaelike loaʻa kālā lōʻihi me ka lawelawe o ka nohona o ka ʻāina. "ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomau i ke kali no ke aupuni ʻo Costa Rican e hana i ka mea kūpono," wahi a Kauka Paladino.
ʻO ka hopena, ʻae ka hapanui o nā mea hoʻouluulu a me nā ʻepekema, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻolālā a me nā palekana o ke kaiapuni.
"ʻAʻole mākou e noi e hoʻopau i nā hoʻolālā āpau," wahi a Jorge Lobo, he loea ʻo ke Kulanui o Costa Rica. "ʻO ka mea a mākou e pono ai e hoʻomaha iki, i hiki i kā mākou mau kaona kai ākea ke hopu i ka hanu, hoʻonohonoho i nā hoʻolālā zoning a me nā kānāwai ma kahi, a laila hoʻomaka hou, akā i kahi wikiwiki mau loa." Ua alakaʻi ʻo Polofesa Lobo i ka uku no ka hoʻomohala moratorium ma nā wahi koʻikoʻi o ka Osa Peninsula, wahi a nā ʻepekema ʻāpana e kaena nei he 2.5 pākēneka o ka honua.
ʻO ke kahawai o ka hōʻike ʻana i ka uhi kaomi kūloko a kūwaho hoʻi e kaomi i ka ʻāina e huli i ke kihi.
Nā alakaʻi alakaʻi, me ke kaʻina ʻo "Lonely Planet", i alakaʻi i ke ala. Hoʻomaopopo ka puke hou loa: "Inā manaʻo kekahi e heluhelu ana i kēia ʻo Costa Rica kahi eco-paradaiso kamepiula kahi e mālama mau ʻia ai ka mālama ʻana i ke kaiapuni ma mua o nā loaʻa kālā kapitalist ..., e aʻo iā ʻoe iho…."
Akā ʻo Michael Kaye, kahi mea kanu o NūIoka i manaʻo nui ʻia ma ke ʻano he paionia o ka ʻoihana kaiāulu o ka ʻāina, i ʻōlelo nā mākaʻikaʻi ponoʻī ʻaʻole hoʻokuʻi ikaika.
"ʻO Ecotourism kahi hanana pāpāho," wahi a Mr. Kaye. "ʻO ka poʻe makemake maoli e kaumaha i ka hōʻoluʻolu no ka hoʻomau ʻana he kakaikahi ia. Pono ia e loli. ”
Hoʻokaʻawale i nā ʻaoʻao, nā mea hoʻolaha e like me Kaye, a me nā mea hōʻino he nui, e hōʻoia nei e noho mau ana ʻo Costa Rica i mua o kona mau hoalauna. Aia ma mua o ka 26 pākēneka o kāna panalāʻau i mālama ʻia ma ke kūlana pale, 80 pākēneka o kona ikehu i hoʻopuka ʻia mai nā kumuwaiwai hou e like me ka makani a me ka hydropower, a ke ulu nei ka ʻāina i nā kumulāʻau ma mua o ka ʻoki ʻana - kahi anomaly ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ʻilihuna.
Hoʻohanohano like nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe o Costa Rica, me kona ʻano 11,450 o nā mea kanu, 67,000 ʻano ʻelala, 850 ʻano manu, a me nā kiʻekiʻena kiʻekiʻe o nā mea kanu, holoholona, a me nā kaiaolaola o kēlā me kēia ʻāina ma ʻAmelika.
I kēia mau lā, ke aupuni, ke ʻike nei i ka wikiwiki o ke kūlana, makemake nui e hoʻolohe.
I Ianuali, ua pani ke Keʻena Ola i ka Occidental Allegro Papagayo, kekahi o nā hōkele nui āpau o ka ʻāina, i ka wā i ʻike ai nā luna nānā i nā paipu e ninini ana i ka wai kahe i loko o ka muā kokoke.
Ua piʻi aʻe ka Institute Water and Sewer Institute e ka mokuʻāina, e kāpae ana i ka "Ecological Blue Flags" mai ʻehiku kahakai, me nā mea e kū pono ana i nā kauhale mākaʻikaʻi kaulana o Dominical a me Tamarindo ma ka Pākīpika, a me Puerto Viejo, ma ka Caribbean, e hōʻike ana i ka haumia fecal i ka moana wai.
A i ka lā 9 o ʻApelila, ua hoʻopuka ke aupuni ʻo Costa Rican i kahi palapala kuikawa e kaohi ana i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka hale a me ka momona ma ka ʻaoʻao komohana komohana o ka Pākīpika, kahi e ulu nei me ka wikiwiki loa, hoʻokahi wale nō me ka ʻole o nā hoʻolālā zoning.
"Eʻoi aku paha ka maikaʻi o nā mea ma mua o ka hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi. E hoʻomanaʻo, ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ke hopu ʻia nei nā muliwai i ke ahi 30 mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ”i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Kaye alakaʻi alakaʻi ʻo Ecoindustry. "Ke holomua nei mākou."
