E helu ana i na poho mai ka makaikai i ka wa Kaneka-COVID-19 ma ʻApelika Hikina, ʻo nā kaiāulu kūloko e noho ana i nā wahi mālama holoholona hihiu a me ka poʻe e hilinaʻi nei i ka mākaʻikaʻi no ko lākou ola i kēlā me kēia lā ke kū nei i nā pōʻino mai ka pōloli a me ka nele o nā lawelawe kōkua kanaka ma muli o ka ʻApelika mākaʻikaʻi hoʻoliʻiliʻi.
ʻO nā laka ma ʻEulopa, ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, a me nā kumu mākaʻikaʻi mākaʻikaʻi koʻikoʻi ma waho o ʻApelika i helu ʻia he hopena koʻikoʻi koʻikoʻi i nā kaiāulu o ʻApelika nona ke ola e pili pono ana i ka mākaʻikaʻi a me ka hopena multiplier mai ka mākaʻikaʻi.
ʻO nā mokuʻāina ʻo ʻApelika Hikina, waiwai i nā kumuwaiwai holoholona no ka hopu holoholona a me nā safaris kiʻi kiʻi, ua helu ʻia i waena o nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi honua i nalowale i nā kālā nui mai ka mākaʻikaʻi mai Malaki o kēia makahiki i ka wā i hoʻokomo ʻia ai nā laka i nā pae honua.
I loko o kā lākou waihona kālā makahiki i waiho ʻia i mua o ko lākou mau pāremata i ka Pōʻalima i kēia pule hope, ua wehewehe nā aupuni o Tanzania, Kenya, a me Uganda i kā lākou mau hoʻolālā hoʻolālā e hoʻolaʻa hou i ka mākaʻikaʻi me ka ʻole o nā hoʻolālā paʻa e kōkua i nā kaiāulu kūloko i hoʻopilikia ʻia e ka pohō huakaʻi.
ʻO ka huina o 21 mau mokulele mokulele i kāpae i nā mokulele 632 i Tanzania mai Malaki 20, e hōʻemi ana i ka huakaʻi a me nā lawelawe i hāʻawi ʻia i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi - ʻo ka hapa nui o ka lawe ʻana i nā mākaʻikaʻi, noho, meaʻai, mea inu, a me nā ʻoliʻoli.
Ua wehe ʻo Tanzania i kāna mau paka holoholona hihiu a me nā mokulele no ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi akā me ka mālama olakino e mālama i ka COVID-19 ma ke kai.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kuhina Waiwai ʻo Tanzania, ʻo Phillip Mpango, ua pani ʻia kekahi mau hōkele e alakaʻi ana i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā limahana. Pēlā nō, ua kāpae ʻo Tanzania i nā mokulele honua e alakaʻi ana i nā lilo kālā.
No ka laʻana, ua hoʻopilikia nui ʻia ʻo Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA), Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA), a me Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority (TAWA) i ka nalowale o nā loaʻa ma hope o ka emi ʻana o ka huakaʻi ma muli o COVID-19 i kēlā me kēia ʻāina. kumu, wahi a ke Kuhina.
Ma ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ke kūlana, ua ʻōlelo ke Kuhina e hoʻolilo ke aupuni o Tanzania i nā kālā no kēlā mau ʻoihana mālama holoholona e hoʻēmi i nā hopena maʻi maʻi COVID-19.
E loaʻa i kēia mau keʻena nā ʻāpana kālā mai ka waihona kālā makahiki o ke aupuni no ka uhi ʻana i kā lākou mau koina hana no ka uku o ka limahana a me nā uku ʻē aʻe a me nā lilo hoʻomohala, me ka mālama ʻana i nā alanui a me nā ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi ʻē aʻe mai ka luku ʻia e ka ua nui.
Ma Kenya, ua hoʻokaʻawale ke aupuni i nā kālā i ka mākaʻikaʻi e kōkua i ka ʻoihana e hoʻi hou i ka loaʻa kālā ma muli o ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19.
Ua ʻōlelo ke aupuni Kenyan e hoʻonui ia i nā hana e hoʻoikaika i ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi ma o ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka kūʻai aku ʻana i ka mākaʻikaʻi post-COVID-19 a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i ke kākoʻo no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka hōkele ma o nā hōʻaiʻē palupalu e hoʻoili ʻia i nā hui kālā hoʻokele.
E hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ke kālā no ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka hana hou ʻana o nā hale mākaʻikaʻi a me ka hoʻoponopono hou ʻana i nā hana ʻoihana e nā mea hana ma kēia ʻoihana.
E māhele pū ʻia nā kālā me ka Tourism Promotion Fund a me ka Tourism Fund. Ua haʻalele ke aupuni Kenyan i nā uku pae ʻana a me nā kaʻa kaʻa ma nā mokulele i mea e maʻalahi ai ka neʻe ʻana i loko a i waho o Kenya.
ʻO ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ka ʻāpana he $4.75 miliona i waiho ʻia e ke aupuni ma mua o kēia makahiki e kūʻai aku i nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi o Kenya e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai e noho mau ʻo Kenya i wahi huakaʻi makemake ʻia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa.
Ma ʻApelika, ua pā ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19 i nā kaiāulu e hilinaʻi nei i ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi holoholona hihiu no ko lākou ola ʻana ma nā ʻāina e like me Tanzania, Rwanda, Kenya, a me Botswana.
ʻOi aku ma mua o 70 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi i kipa aku iā ʻApelika i ka makahiki i hala no nā safaris kiʻi kiʻi, nā pāʻani pāʻani, a i ʻole ka hopu kiʻi.
Akā me nā mokulele a me nā palena i pani ʻia i ka hapa nui o nā ʻāina, ʻaʻohe loaʻa kālā mai nā mākaʻikaʻi e kākoʻo i nā kaiāulu kūloko ma hope o ka puka ʻana o ka maʻi.
Akā ʻo nā kaiāulu kūloko ma East Africa, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā kahu hānai Maasai ma Tanzania a me Kenya, ʻo ia ka mea i hoʻopilikia nui ʻia e ka pani ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi, no laila ka emi ʻana o ka loaʻa kālā.
Noho ka hapanui o nā kaiāulu ʻo Maasai ma ʻApelika Hikina i nā wahi waiwai mākaʻikaʻi a kahi i hoʻololi ʻia ai ka ʻāina i mau paka ʻāina, nā wahi mālama, nā mālama pāʻani, a me nā poloka hopu holoholona.
Ma Kenya a me Tanzania, ua hoʻololi ʻia nā ʻāpana nui o ka ʻāina ʻo Maasai i mau wahi mālama holoholona a me nā wahi palekana kahi e alakaʻi ai i nā paka aupuni ma Kenya a me Tanzania ma nā wahi o Maasai.
Ua hōʻike ʻo Ngorongoro Conservation Area ma Northern Tanzania i kahi hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi e noho nei nā kaiāulu Maasai a kaʻana like i nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe me nā holoholona hihiu, e kaʻana like ana i nā loaʻa kālā mai ka mākaʻikaʻi.
Ma o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi, loaʻa i nā kaiāulu ʻo Maasai e noho ana i loko o ka wahi mālama holoholona i ka hapa o ka loaʻa kālā mākaʻikaʻi i loaʻa mai ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi.
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia nā papahana lawelawe kaiāulu a laila hoʻokō ʻia ma o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi, e manaʻo ana e pōmaikaʻi nā kaiāulu Maasai i ka hoʻonaʻauao, olakino, wai, hoʻonui holoholona, a me nā papahana e loaʻa kālā.
Ma hope o ka puka ʻana o COVID-19 e alakaʻi ana i nā palena huakaʻi i nā mākeke mākaʻikaʻi koʻikoʻi me ka ʻole o nā mākaʻikaʻi hoʻokahi e kipa aku ana i nā paka holoholona hihiu i nā mahina i hala iho nei, ua pilikia ka Maasai a me nā kaiāulu ʻē aʻe i ka loaʻa kālā o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i ka nele o nā lawelawe kaiāulu a me nā hana waiwai.
I ka wehewehe ʻana i ka hopena o COVID-19 i nā kaiāulu, ʻōlelo ka poʻe mālama holoholona hihiu i ka manaʻo o ka honua i ka poʻe a i ʻole nā kaiāulu kūloko.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ka luna hoʻokele o ka ʻepekema a me ka mālama mālama ʻo WWF UK, ʻo Mike Barrett, ʻo ia ka manawa kūpono e pono ai ka manaʻo o ka honua i ka pale ʻana i nā ola kanaka i kēia maʻi maʻi pōʻino, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā wahi i hilinaʻi nui ai nā kaiāulu i ka ecotourism no ko lākou ola.
Me ka liʻiliʻi o ke kālā kālā a ke aupuni, hilinaʻi nui nā paka aupuni o ka ʻāina i ka loaʻa kālā o ka mākaʻikaʻi e holo i kā lākou hana a mālama i nā holoholona a me nā mea kanu e ulu ana ma laila.
"ʻO ka nele o ke kālā, ʻaʻole hiki i nā paka ke hana i nā mākaʻikaʻi pinepine, no ka mea, pono lākou i ka wahie no kā lākou kaʻa a pono lākou i ka meaʻai no ka poʻe mākaʻi e hele i ka mākaʻikaʻi," wahi a Kaddu Sebunya, ka luna nui o ka African Wildlife Foundation.
"ʻAʻohe mea mākaʻikaʻi a me nā mea liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi a puni ma muli o ke kaʻina hele ʻana o ka nohona, e maʻalahi ai i nā ʻoihana lawehala e hōʻiliʻili i nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe," wahi a Sebunya.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻo kāna hopohopo nui loa no ka 20 a 30 miliona ʻApelika i loaʻa i ke ola maoli a i ʻole mai ka mākaʻikaʻi.
Nui ka poʻe i komo i nā papahana kaiaola mai ka holo ʻana i nā hale hoʻokipa safari a i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā mākaʻikaʻi kauhale a i ʻole ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā huahana kuʻuna a me nā mea hana lima i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi.
Ke kū nei ʻo ia ka lua o ka huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi wikiwiki loa o ka honua, ua manaʻo ʻo ʻApelika i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 2020 e nānā i kahi makahiki waiwai, e ʻohi i nā piliona kālā. Akā i ka wā i hahau ai ʻo COVID-19, ua pau nā mākaʻikaʻi i ka hele ʻana mai, a ua kū koke ka ʻoihana.
Akā i kēia manawa, ʻo ka hui pū ʻana o nā laka aupuni, kahi kumu kūʻai mea kūʻai mākaʻikaʻi kūloko, a me kahi ʻoihana e kuhikuhi ana i nā malihini kipa uku kiʻekiʻe ʻo ia ka mea ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻololi koke ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi o ʻApelika e pale aku i ka hāʻule.
ʻO ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā mākaʻikaʻi kūloko a me ka ʻāina ʻo ia ka hoʻolālā maikaʻi loa e hoʻolilo i ka ʻāina ʻApelika i wahi hoʻokahi, me ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi waiwai i loko o ka ʻāina, e like me ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi huakaʻi a me nā mea pāʻani mākaʻikaʻi.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kuhina ʻo Kenyan no ka mākaʻikaʻi a me nā holoholona hihiu, ʻo Mr. Najib Balala, i ka hopena o ka mahina i hala aku nei ʻo ka mākaʻikaʻi kūloko a me ka ʻāina ʻo ke kī a me ke ala maikaʻi loa e lawe ai i ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻApelika i ka hoʻōla koke ʻana mai ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19.
