Ke hoʻohana nei i kekahi mau lā i ka Selous Game Reserve ma ka hema ʻo Tanzania

ʻEkolu mau makahiki ma hope o ka haki maikaʻi ʻana o ka kipi Maji Maji ma 1907 ma waena o nā kamaʻāina a me nā pūʻali Kelemania i kēlā manawa ʻo Deutche Ost ʻApelika, ʻo Tanzania i kēia manawa, a ʻo Kaiser Wilhelm I o Kelemania, i hāʻawi aku i kāna wahine i ka makahiki hoʻomanaʻo male i kēia manawa.

Me ke kanalua ʻole, ʻo ka pāka holoholona luhi i kēia manawa a ke alakaʻi Kelemania i hāʻawi aku ai i kāna wahine ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻano nui loa o nā ʻano makahiki o ke aloha.

ʻO ia ka māla holoholona nui loa o ka honua, ʻo Selous Game Reserve.

ʻAʻole ia he mea haohao no ka ʻike nui ʻia o ka mālama mālama pāʻani i ka poʻe ʻelemākule ma ia wahi ma ke kula ʻo Tūtū.

ʻO ka Selous Game Reserve, waiwai a waiwai hoʻoilina i ke kanaka, piha me nā holoholona laka ʻole ʻole, mai ka pulu liʻiliʻi a hiki i ka makuakāne elepani kahiko. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo kēia mālama, ke kaena nei i ka nui o nā elepani i ka honua - ma mua o 110,000 mau bipi, a he microcosm ia o ka mōʻaukala o 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 lōkō nui i pale ʻia ma ka honua a ʻo kekahi o nā wahi wao nahele nui ma ʻApelika.

Ma mua o ka nui o nā ʻelepani, ʻo Selous Game Reserve, aia ia ma ka hema o Tanzania, kahi home o nā rhino ʻeleʻele, cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, a me nā crocodiles, a ʻaʻole i hoʻopilikia ʻia e nā kānaka. Noho ʻia kēia ʻāina mālama e nā crocodile nui loa o ʻApelika, hippos, ʻīlio hihiu, a me nā buffaloes.

Ke hele nei ma waena o kona mau panoramic papu me ka mauʻu gula, kona ululāʻau, nā kahawai o ka muliwai, kona mau loko me he palena ʻole ʻole, a me kāna muli wai kope ʻeleʻele Rufiji, e ʻike ʻia kekahi e pili ana i nā kumu lāʻau mango.

He mau mea hoʻomanaʻo kēia mau kumulāʻau mango o kahi pōpilikia kaumaha 18th a me 19 kenekulia i loaʻa i nā keiki kāne a me nā kaikamahine o kēia ʻāina, The Arab Slave Trade.

Ua kākau ʻo Eric Robins i kāna puke, "Secret Eden: Africa's Enchanted Wilderness," ua ulu nā kumulāʻau mango i ka Selous Game Reserve mai nā pōhaku o nā hua ʻalani momona i hoʻolei ʻia e nā hui o nā kāne ʻeleʻele, wahine, a me nā keiki he nā mea i loaʻa i ke kālepa kauā ʻumikūmāiwa.

ʻO ka poʻe pio pio ʻole, e ʻūlū ana i nā haukā lāʻau, ʻai i nā mango e pale aku ai i ka wī i ko lākou ala mai loko a i ke Kai ʻInikia ma mua o ke kūʻai kūʻai ʻia aku i nā mea kālepa Arab ma Zanzibar.

Ua hoʻohui ʻo Eric Robins ma loko o kāna puke, "ʻO nā kumulāʻau mango o ka Selous nā mea e hoʻomanaʻo mau ai i ka wā keu i ke kālepa ʻana o nā mea kālepa i ka ʻiʻo kanaka."

Ua ʻike ʻo Selous Game Reserve i nā hanana mōʻaukala i kū mai ka luʻuluʻu kanaka. Ma mua o ka hiki ʻana mai o ka poʻe ʻAlapia a me ko ʻEulopa i kēia ʻāpana o ʻApelika, nā hoʻokele waiwai a me nā hana politika ma Tanzania ma hope o ke kūʻokoʻa ʻana mai Pelekane 55 mau makahiki i hala, ua hoʻololi kēia mau mea a pau i ke kiʻi o kēia paradaiso holoholona i kikowaena o nā hakakā kū mau.

Hoʻokumu ka muliwai i kahi delta - ka Delta Rufiji - ka nui nui o kona ʻano ma ʻApelika Hikina. ʻO kēia delta ka mea i ʻike maka i ka pūʻali koa Pelekania e kaua kūʻē aku ana i nā pūʻali Kelemania i loko o ke kaua wits a me guts. Ua lilo ka mālama i kahua kaua ma waena o nā pūʻali koa Pelekania a me Kelemania i ke Kaua Honua Mua a ʻo ia ka delta kahi hoʻomaha kūpono a kūpono hoʻi no nā pūʻali Kelemania.

ʻO ke ʻano o ka delta ponoʻī ke lilo i kumu nui no ka lilo ʻana i kahua kaua. I hoʻokahi manawa, he wahi huna maikaʻi loa ka delta no nā dhow o nā mea kālepa kauā ʻAlapia, e hoʻolilo ana i wahi huna no kahi koa Kelemania, ʻo SMS Konigsberg.

ʻO Kāpena Alan Villiers (1903-1982) he luina, mea kākau, a mea paʻi puke hoʻi i holoholo ma ka honua me kahi dhow Arab, e hoʻohana wale ana i ka makani e holo ai, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "Inā ma kēia ao kahi wahi i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka delta Rufiji, lana koʻu manaʻo ʻAʻole paha wau e loaʻa. ʻO ka delta holoʻokoʻa he kaumaha, morose, a me ke kaumaha e ʻaneʻane ma mua o ka hoʻomanawanui. "

Ma ka ʻāina hikina o kēia waihona, ʻo Kāpena Courteney Frederick Selous, kekahi o nā poʻe ʻimi keʻokeʻo nui loa, i alualu i nā ʻelepani haneli i loko o kāna wao nahele i kapa ʻia ma hope ona.

Ua kī ʻia ʻo Frederick Selous e kahi sniper Kelemania ma Ianuali 4,1917, a ua waiho ʻia kona kino e waiho ana ma kahi kikoʻī kahi o nā poka Kelemania i pīpī ʻia i loko o kona kino ma ke kahua ʻo Beho Beho.

ʻElima mau makahiki ma hope o ka make ʻana o Kāpena Selous, ma 1922, ua hoʻokumu ke aupuni Pelekane i ka Selous Game Reserve a mākou e ʻike nei i kēia lā.

Ua hoʻohui pū ka poʻe Pelekania i nā waihona Mahenge a me Muhoro i hoʻokahi waihona nui - ka Selous Game Reserve.

Hāʻawi ka Selous i nā safari moku ma ke kahawai ʻo Rufiji, e lilo ana i wahi kūʻokoʻa i ʻApelika kahi e hiki ai i nā safari moku no kahi mamao loa. ʻOluʻolu loa nā pāʻani pāʻani ma nā kihi o nā loko liʻiliʻi a me nā kahawai i loko o kona mau palena. Hāʻawi nā pihi pāʻani ahiahi i ka ʻike hiki ʻole ke hoʻopoina i ka napoo ʻana o ka lā ma luna o nā loko.

Hiki i ka mea huakaʻi huakaʻi ke ʻimi i kēia wao nahele ma ka wāwae, kahi pono e hiki wale nō i nā paka liʻiliʻi a me nā mālama i ʻApelika.

ʻOi aku ka nui o nā adventurous nā safaris trekking i hala no kekahi mau lā. Hoʻomaka kahi hui liʻiliʻi o nā trekkers mai kahi hoʻomoana kahua me nā alakaʻi a me nā mākaʻikaʻi pāʻani.

Hiki ke kiʻi maʻalahi ʻia ka Selous Game Reserve e ka ea, ke alanui, a me ke kaʻaahi ma o ka laina laina ʻo Tanzania Zambia. Ma kahi o 8 mau hola e kalaiwa aku ai mai ke kapena nui o Tanzania ʻo Dar es Salaam.

Aia he 6 mau wahi hoʻomoana kūikawā - kū mau loa a hoʻokumu ʻia i loko o kahi mālama me kahi nui o nā kahua hoʻomoana i kahakaha ʻia no nā poʻe hoʻomoana.

ʻOiai ka momona o kāna mau pua a me nā holoholona, ​​ua ʻike maopopo ʻole ʻia ka Selous Game Reserve e ka hapa nui o ka poʻe, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i nā makahiki i hala, koe wale nō i kahi mau haneli holoholona hihiu nui, nā kālaimeaola, nā mea kanu huaʻai, nā kālaihonua, a, ʻoiai, nā hanauna mai nā koa ka mea i kaua i ke Kaua Honua Mua ma luna o kāna ʻāina.

Eia nō naʻe, i kēia mau lā, ua kupu aʻe nā wahi hoʻomoana mākaʻikaʻi ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ka mālama e mālama ai i ka nui o nā mākaʻikaʻi e piʻi mai ana e ʻike i kēia Māla o ʻEdena.

Ua hoʻomohala ʻia nā lumi hoʻokipa mākaʻikaʻi kiʻekiʻe ma ka palena ʻākau o ka Selous Game Reserve. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Serena Mivumo River Lodge a me Selous Serena Camp no kahi hoʻi hope loa o ka wao nahele.

I kēia mau lā, i waena o kēia wahi holoholona holoholona kupanaha a puʻupaʻa, hiki i kekahi ke noho a puni kahi lāʻau Baobab a kauoha i kahi gin a i ʻole tonic. ʻO ka Selous Game Reserve kahi home o nā kumulāʻau baobab nunui, i ʻike ʻia a heleleʻi ʻia ma nā kula ākea āpau o ka mālama.

Ua hoʻomohala ʻia nā mokulele mokulele no kēlā mau mākaʻikaʻi e makemake ana i kahi kulu wikiwiki, e hoʻolilo ana i ka Selous Game Reserve i wahi mākaʻikaʻi a me nā ʻāina holoholona kahi e loaʻa ai nā holoholona i koe mai ka Noa Ark. ʻO ia kahi laʻa holoholona hope loa ma ka honua kahi e ʻike maʻalahi ʻia ai nā mea huna a ke Akua i hana ai.

ʻO ka ʻimi nui ʻana i nā holoholona laka, ka hoʻoulu ʻana o ka uranium, kahi papahana mana uila uila, a me ka papahana Kidunda Water Dam ka ʻoihana a me nā ʻoihana hoʻokele waiwai e hopohopo nei i ka mōʻaukala o Selous Game Reserve.

ʻO ka mining uranium zealous a me ka hanauna mana i loko o kahi mālama ka ʻenemi o kēia manawa e hana nei i kēia papa holoholona holoholona kaʻao me ka maluhia ʻole, ma muli o ke kuko kālā.

Ua ʻike ʻia ka luhi kanaka ma laila mai ka wā kālepa kauā ʻAlapia, i ka wā i luku ʻia ai kāna mau ʻelepani no ka nui o kā lākou mau kua. ʻO ka luku ʻia ʻana o nā ʻelepani a me nā ʻano holoholona ʻē aʻe ke ʻano o ka lā i loko o kēia mālama.

Ua helu ʻia ʻo Selous Game Reserve e like me kekahi o nā elepani ʻoi loa "Killing Fields" ma ʻApelika e ka Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA).

Akā, ʻo ka World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), i ʻike ʻia ʻo World Wildlife Fund ma US a me Kanada, a me nā hui mālama kūlohelohe ʻē aʻe i piʻi me nā puʻupuʻu, e ʻōlelo ana he hapa iki ka waiwai o nā hana ʻoihana a me ka hoʻouma ʻana o ka uranium ma Selous Game Reserve. hoʻohālikelike ʻia i nā pohō i hoʻokumu ʻia ma o ka mining ʻana i nā minela radioactive.

Wahi a ka WWF Tanzania Office ka mining uranium a me nā papahana ʻoihana ʻē aʻe i noi ʻia e nā ʻoihana lehulehu i ka mālama e alakaʻi i ka hōʻino maikaʻi ʻole, ʻaʻole wale i ke kaiapuni e pili ana i kāna kaiaolaola, akā i ka ʻoihana huakaʻi waiwai nui hoʻi a Tanzania.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Professor Hussein Sossovele, he kanaka noiʻi kaiapuni kiʻekiʻe ma Tanzania, hiki i ka mining uranium ma loko o ka Selous Game Reserve ke alakaʻi i nā hopena weliweli i ka pā.

Hoʻohālikelike, hiki i ka mining uranium ke hana ma lalo o US $ 5 miliona i kēlā me kēia makahiki, ʻoiai he $ 6 miliona ka loaʻa o ka mākaʻikaʻi mai nā mākaʻikaʻi e kipa ana i ka pā i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
