Hoʻoweliweli ka pāhana pono ʻole i nā holoholona lōhiu

ʻO kekahi o nā mea kolo loa loa o ka honua, ʻo ka Siamese crocodile i hoʻoweliweli ʻia, ua hoʻoweliweli nui ʻia e kahi pā i manaʻo ʻia ma kahi ʻāina ʻole o Cambodia, ua ʻōlelo aku ka poʻe mālama mālama Pelekania.

ʻO ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o ka pā Chay Areng ma nā mauna Cardamom e hoʻopau i ka hapalima a ʻoi aku paha o ke koena o ka heluna kanaka o nā crocodiles, aia ma lalo o 200 mau kānaka i ka nahele, e like me ka Fauna and Flora International (FFI), kahi i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Cambridge.

E hoʻoneʻe ia i nā haneli o ka poʻe ʻōiwi mai ko lākou mau home, a e hōʻino nui i ka holoholona hihiu ma ke awāwa kahi e paʻa ai ma mua o 30 mau ʻano mea hoʻoweliweli honua o nā mammals, nā manu, nā mea kolo, nā iʻa a me nā amphibians, mai nā tigers, nā elepani ʻAsia a me nā gibbons. i ka ʻiʻo ʻēheu keʻokeʻo, ka honu luakini poʻo melemele a me kekahi o nā iʻa kakaʻikahi a kaulana loa o ka honua, ʻo ka arowana Asia.

Eia kekahi, wahi a FFI, ua hōʻike ʻia kahi loiloi hoʻokele waiwai ʻo ka 120ft dam, ka mea e hoʻolaha ʻia nei e kahi hui mana Kina, ʻaʻole pono ia no ka koi uila o Cambodia e hiki mai ana a he koena i nā koi. Ke kāhea nei ʻo FFI i ke aupuni Cambodia e kāpae i ka hoʻolālā.

Inā e hele i mua, ʻo nā crocodile Siamese ka mea i make nui loa o ka papahana ma nā ʻano holoholona hihiu. ʻO ka mea kolo, 10ft ka lōʻihi, e hānai nui ana i nā iʻa a me nā nahesa, ua pau ma luna o 99 pākēneka o kona ʻano kumu, me nā pūʻulu liʻiliʻi i koe ma Laos, Thailand a me Vietnam ma waho o Cambodia, kahi i palekana loa ai ka muliwai ʻo Areng. a me kahi kahua hānai nui ma ka honua, e hoʻopaʻa ana ma waena o 40 a 50 mau kānaka.

Inā hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka muliwai ʻo Areng, wahi a FFI, e hoʻemi nui ʻia kēia heluna kanaka palupalu. E hoʻopau ka wai i nā wahi pūnana koʻikoʻi ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka loko, nā wahi hānai pāpaʻu, nā wahi hoʻoneʻe one ma ka muliwai, a me nā lua ma ka moana nui i hoʻohana ʻia no ka malu. Ke makaʻu nei ka hui e hoʻomaka ana nā limahana Kina he 1,000-nui e lawe ʻia mai e kūkulu i ka pā i nā holoholona hihiu ʻē aʻe ma ke awāwa, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua hana ʻia kēia i nā hana like ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe.

ʻO ka laulā holoʻokoʻa o nā mauna Cardamom ma ke komohana ʻo Cambodia i kēia manawa kekahi o nā wahi maikaʻi ʻole o ka wao nahele mauna ma Asia Hema-hikina, ua pale ʻia mai ka hoʻohana ʻana no nā makahiki he mau makahiki e nā kaua o ka ʻāina. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo FFI ʻo ia ka "mea i hoʻopaʻa ʻole ʻia i ka lei o nā ʻano olaola o ʻAsia".

Akā i kēia manawa ke wehe ʻia nei, ʻo ia hoʻi e ka poʻe Kina, ka mea e hāʻawi nei e kūkulu i ka hydropower a me nā mea hana hana ʻē aʻe no nā Cambodian i mea e hoʻololi ai i kahi mahele o ka wā e hiki mai ana i nā waiwai kūlohelohe o ka ʻāina, ʻo ia hoʻi ka aila a me ke kinoea. ʻO ka nui o nā kahawai o ka Cardamom he mau pā wai i manaʻo ʻia no lākou, a ʻo kekahi, ma O'Som, ke hele nei i mua.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo FFI ua ʻike ʻo ia e pono ana ʻo Cambodia i ka uila a e hele mai kekahi o ia mea mai ka hydropower. Akā ua ʻōlelo ʻia he hōʻike 2007, ʻo ka Master Plan Study of Hydropower Development in Cambodia, i kauoha ʻia e ka Japan International Co-operation Agency a me ka Cambodian Ministry of Mines and Energy, ua ʻike ʻia he 10 mau wahi koʻikoʻi e lawa no ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā koi aupuni i manaʻo ʻia. - a ʻo ka mea nui, ʻaʻole i komo kēia mau Chay Areng.

"ʻAʻole pono ka dam Areng a he koena i nā koi," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Jenny Daltry, he loea mālama ola kino me FFI. "E hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā haneli o nā hale o kahi poʻe ʻōiwi, ʻo Khmer Daeum, a pono e neʻe. He poe kanaka keia i noho malaila no na haneri makahiki a e noho kulike ana me ke ano maoli a ua kukulu i ko lakou mau wahi i hoomaluia ma ka ululaau, a e hele ana eono kauhale o lakou, a ehiku paha.

"Ma nā ʻōlelo holoholona hihiu, he pōʻino. ʻO nā koʻokoʻo, ʻo ia ka mea e hōʻike ana ma kahi o ka hapalima o ka heluna kanaka o ka honua i ka nahele, e nalowale a loaʻa ka pōʻino nui i nā holoholona hihiu ʻē aʻe.

"Aia i ke aupuni Cambodia e ʻae a hōʻole paha i ka noi mai ka hui Kina a manaʻo mākou e hōʻole ʻia."
