Hoʻonohonoho kahi kikowaena hydropower i ka pūhoho mākaʻikaʻi no ka mālama ʻana i nā holoholona lōhiu ma Tanzania

ʻO ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi mea kanu hanauna hydropower nui loa ma loko o ka Selous Game Reserve ma ka hema o Tanzania i hoʻāla i kahi pū waikaua i nā mea mālama holoholona hihiu e makaʻu ana e ʻike i nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ka hoʻomohala hoʻokipa ma loko o kēia wahi nui o nā holoholona i mālama ʻia ma ʻApelika.

Makaʻu ka poʻe loea mālama i ka ʻike ʻana i ka mea kanu mega-mana ma Stiegler's Gorge ma ka Selous Game Reserve, no ka mea he mea ia e hoʻopilikia ai i ka mālama ʻana i nā holoholona hihiu a me nā kūlohelohe i loko o kēia puʻuhonua holoholona nui ʻApelika e hoʻopilikia nui ʻia e nā mea ʻai holoholona elepani.

Makau lākou i ka Stiegler's Gorge hydropower hanauna hanauna e paipai i nā ʻoihana hana ma nā ʻāpana ʻākau o ka Selous Game Reserve, kaulana no ka mālama holoholona holoholona ma ʻApelika.

ʻO ke aupuni Kelemania, ma o ka Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS) a me ka WWF Fund for Nature, he mea hāʻawi nui i ka mālama ʻana i ka Selous Game Reserve ma o ka anti-poaching a me nā papahana hoʻolaha kaiāulu.

ʻO ka Bank World kahi ʻoihana ʻē aʻe ʻē aʻe e kākoʻo kālā nei i ka hoʻomohala huakaʻi ma South Tanzania, no ka mea ua hāʻule ka Reserve ma waena o kahi kahua hoʻokipa maikaʻi.

Kūkulu ʻia ke kūkulu ʻana o kahi mea kanu hydropower controversial plant ma Stiegler's Gorge ma loko o Selous Game Reserve i ka hopena o Pepeluali 2018 ke loaʻa i ke aupuni ʻo Tanzanian ka mea hana pono no ka papahana mega-power.

ʻO nā Kakauolelo paʻa mai nā lawelawe aupuni nui i mālama ʻia i kahi hālāwai kuhina hui pū ma ke kapikala hou o Tanzania ʻo Dodoma e hoʻolālā i nā hoʻolālā no ke kūkulu ʻana i ka 2,100-megawatt hydro-power plant ma loko o Selous Game Reserve.

ʻO kā lākou hālāwai kuhina i manaʻo ʻia e hoʻokau i mua o ke kūkulu ʻana i ka papahana hydropower nui ma Stiegler's Gorge i mea e hoʻokō ai i kā Pelekikena John Magufuli i hoʻoholo ai e hoʻonui i ka lako mana ma Tanzania. ʻO Stiegler's Gorge Hydropower papahana e manaʻo ʻia he $ 2.6 biliona.

ʻO ka luna kiʻekiʻe e mālama ana i ka papahana Stiegler's Gorge Power, ʻenekinia ʻo Leonard Masanja, i ʻōlelo ʻo nā noi e hoʻopaʻa i kahi mea ʻaelike no ka hoʻokō ʻana ua hoʻomaka ʻia i Pepeluali.

Ua hana hou ʻo Pelekikena Magufuli i kāna hoʻolālā e kūkulu i kahi papahana hanauna mega-mana ma Stiegler's Gorge. ʻO ka uila a me ka ʻoihana hana nā kumuhana waiwai nui ma lalo o kā kā Pelekikena Magufuli aupuni 2016/17 a 2020/21 ʻElima Makahiki.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ke nānā nei kāna aupuni e kūkulu i ka Stiegler's Gorge Hydro-power plant ma ke ʻano he hoʻolālā e hoʻonui i ka lako mana a catalyze ʻoihana ulu hana ma Tanzania.

ʻO ka hana ʻana o ka papahana hydropower i loko o ka Selous Game Reserve i loaʻa ka hōʻino a me ke kūʻē ʻana mai nā pūʻulu mālama holoholona a me nā kūlohelohe kūlohelohe, e ʻōlelo ana e lilo ia i nā pōʻino koʻikoʻi o ke kaiapuni a me nā kaola i ka Selous Game Reserve, ka wahi wao nahele nui o ʻApelika i koe.

ʻO ka Stiegler's Gorge Hydropower hanauna hanauna a me ka US $ 215 miliona Kidunda Dam ma Morogoro wahi, nā mea a pau i loko o ka Selous kaiaolaola i hoʻonāukiuki i nā hana kūʻē a puni ka honua, e kāhea ana i ke aupuni o Tanzania e ʻimi i nā mea ʻē aʻe e hana i ka uila, ʻo ka hapa nui mai ke kinoea maoli.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo WWF i loko o kāna hōʻike 2017 e pili ana ka hopena o ka papahana hydropower i loko o ka Selous Game Reserve i ka mālama ʻana i nā holoholona a me nā holoholona hihiu i loko o kahi mālama me nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ka poʻe 200,000 e lilo ana kā lākou hana ma o ka mahiʻai ʻana a me ka lawaiʻa ʻana a hiki i ka pā Rufiji. ma ke Kai ʻInikia a me nā mokupuni ma ʻō aku.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo WWF International i loko o kāna hōʻike ua pilikia ka papahana mana uila ʻo Stiegler's Gorge i ka hōʻino ʻana i nā wahi wai o nā mea nui o ka honua ma kona kaiāulu ʻo Rufiji, Mafia, a me Kilwa Marine Ramsar Site.

Kūkulu ʻia ka papahana ʻo Stiegler's Gorge Hydropower i kahi awāwa 8-mile ka lōʻihi a 100 mika ka hohonu. Noho ke awāwa ma waenakonu o Selous Game Reserve, kekahi o nā wahi holoholona hihiu nui a nui a koʻikoʻi hoʻi o ka honua, e like me ka nui o Switzerland, i ʻōlelo ai ka WWF i loko o kāna hōʻike.

Ua noi aku nā kaiāulu, i ke aupuni e kāpae i ka papahana, nona ka hale kūkulu e hana ai ma ka puʻuwai o Selous Game Reserve, aia ma ka papa inoa o kahi kahua hoʻoilina o UNESCO. Ua mālama ʻia ka mālama ʻia e ka United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site no ka waiwai nui o ke ao holoʻokoʻa o kāna kaolaola kū hoʻokahi i 1982.

Eia naʻe, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Pelekikena Magufuli ua paʻa kona aupuni e hoʻokō i ka papahana, i hoʻomaka ʻia ma mua o 40 mau makahiki i hala. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e kālā kālā ʻia ke kūkulu ʻana o ka papahana ma kahi kūloko e ka hoʻouluulu waiwai kūloko ponoʻī o ke aupuni.

ʻO ka Selous Game Reserve, me kahi hoʻoilina waiwai a waiwai hoʻi i ke kanaka, piha me nā holoholona laka ʻole ʻole, mai ka midge liʻiliʻi a hiki i ka makuakāne elepani kahiko. Eia kekahi, ke kaena nei kēia mālama i ka nui o nā elepani i ka honua - ʻoi aku ma mua o 110,000 mau bipi, e hana nei he microcosm o ka mōʻaukala i kēia ʻāpana o ka honua.

Uhi ʻia ma kahi o 50,000 mau kilomika kilomika, ʻo ka Selous Game Reserve kahi o nā mālama holoholona lūlū nui ʻia i mālama ʻia ma ka honua a ʻo kekahi o nā wahi wao nahele hope loa o ʻApelika. Hāʻawi ka mālama i nā kālā he US $ 6 miliona mai nā mākaʻikaʻi i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
