Ua neʻe aku kahi ʻohana gorwanda Rwanda i Uganda: e nānā pono nā alakaʻi o ka pāka aupuni

Wahi a nā kumuwaiwai i loko o ka wahi mālama ʻo Virunga, he 20 mau gorila mai ka ʻohana Hirwa i hele aʻe i Mt. ʻO Mgahinga Gorilla National Park ma ke komohana hema o Uganda. Aia lākou ma laila ma kahi o hoʻokahi pule i kēia manawa.

Ua hōʻoia kēia e ʻO Uganda Wildlife Authority'O (UWA's) luna pūnaewele a me ka mea paʻi kiʻi, ʻo Paddy Musiime Muramura, nāna i hōʻoia ua noho nā gorila ma Uganda no kekahi mau pule, a ke mālama ʻia nei lākou ma ka ʻaoʻao o nā gorillas e noho nei i loko o nā kulekele o ka International Gorilla Conservation Program (IGCP)

Māhele ʻia ka loaʻa kālā o ka papahana 50-50 ma waena o Rwanda a me Uganda ke nānā ʻia nā gorillas ma kēlā me kēia palena. ʻO ka paradox ka like ʻole o ke kumukūʻai o nā ʻae ma waena o nā ʻāina 2. Loaʻa nā ʻae a Rwanda i $ 1,500 i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me Uganda ma $ 600. Ua kaulike nā ʻāina ʻelua i kā lākou kumu kūʻai ma mua o ka haʻalele ʻana o Rwanda.

Neʻe manuahi nā gorillas mauna, e hele i kēia mau palena ʻāina i hāʻawi ʻia e Uganda a me Rwanda, a ʻo DR Kongo i ka mea i ʻike ʻia ʻo Greater Virunga Landscape. ʻO ka ʻohana Hirwa i hele mai mai ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o Rwanda i kapa ʻia ʻo Kinigi, a ua hoʻomoana lākou i kēia manawa ma Mgahinga. ʻAʻole kēia ka manawa mua e hiki ai kēia. Ma mua o kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻopaʻa puke i nā ʻae gorilla ma Mgahinga no ka mea ua neʻe ka ʻohana Mgahinga ma ka palena kokoke i kahi mau makahiki he XNUMX i hala.

Aia ʻo Mgahinga Gorilla National Park ma ke ao i kahi kiʻekiʻe ma waena o 2,227 a me 4,127 mau mika. E like me ka manaʻo o kona inoa, ua hana ʻia ia e pale aku i nā gorillas mauna kuʻuna e noho ana i kāna mau ululāʻau paʻa. He wahi nui nō hoʻi ia no ka mōneka gula mōʻī loa

ʻOiai he mea nui no nā holoholona laka, he waiwai nui nō hoʻi ka pāka no nā pygmies ʻōiwi o Batwa. ʻO kēia ʻohana o ka poʻe ʻāhiu holoholona he "poʻe mua" o ka nahele, a mau ʻole ka ʻike kuʻuna o kā lākou mau mea huna.

ʻO Mgahinga kahi ʻāpana o ka Greater Virunga Landscape kahi ʻāpana hoʻi o ka Albertine Rift. ʻOi aku ka momona ma nā endemikā a hoʻoweliweli pū me nā ʻano gorillas mauna mauna o ka honua, nā gorillas grauers, a me nā chimpanzees. Aia i loko o nā pāka aupuni he 8, 4 mau mālama ulu nahele, a me 3 mau mālama holoholona lōhiu, hele a puni kēia palena ʻāina i ka palena o ka Lepupalika Kemokalaka o Kongo, Rwanda, a me Uganda. ʻO Virunga, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a me Rwenzori National Parks he mau hoʻoilina hoʻoilina o ka Honua, ʻoiai ʻo Queen Elizabeth National Park kahi UNESCO Biosfir Reserve, a ʻo Lake George kahi pūnaewele Ramsar.

Nui loa ka hiki ke kūʻai aku ʻana i kēia ʻāpana, a me DRC me ka lana o ka manaʻo e komo i ka East Africa Community (EAC) ma ke ʻano he bloc āpana, lana ka manaʻo e hōʻaiʻē nā alakaʻi EAC i kahi lau mai ka ʻohana Hirwa a me ke koena o nā gorila i ka hoʻopili ʻana o kēia mau paka ʻāina.
