Kuwerengera zotayika chifukwa cha zokopa alendo pa COVID-19 mliri ku East Africa, madera akumidzi omwe amakhala m'malo osungira nyama zamtchire komanso omwe amadalira ntchito zokopa alendo tsiku lililonse akukumana ndi zoopsa za njala komanso kusowa kwa ntchito zothandiza anthu chifukwa cha Africa zokopa alendo kukana.
Zovuta ku Europe, United States, ndi misika ina yayikulu yakunja kwa Africa akuwerengedwa kuti zidayambitsa mavuto azachuma kumadera aku Africa omwe moyo wawo umadalira zokopa alendo mwachindunji komanso zochulukitsa kuchokera ku zokopa alendo.
Maiko aku East Africa, omwe ali ndi chuma chambiri chakutchire posaka padziko lonse lapansi komanso zithunzi zapa safaris, ali m'gulu la malo opitako alendo padziko lonse lapansi omwe adataya ndalama zambiri kuchokera kuzokopa alendo kuyambira Marichi chaka chino pomwe kubowoleza kunayambika padziko lonse lapansi.
Muma bajeti awo apachaka omwe adatumizidwa kumanyumba awo Lachinayi sabata yatha, maboma aku Tanzania, Kenya, ndi Uganda adalongosola malingaliro awo okonzanso zokopa alendo popanda malingaliro apadera othandiza madera omwe akhudzidwa ndi kutayika kwa zokopa alendo.
Ndege zapadziko lonse za 21 zidachotsa ndege zawo 632 zopita ku Tanzania kuyambira Marichi 20, zomwe zidapangitsa kuwonongeka kwa zokopa alendo ndi ntchito zoperekedwa kwa alendo - makamaka mayendedwe a alendo, malo ogona, chakudya, zakumwa, ndi zosangalatsa.
Tanzania idatsegula malo ake osungira nyama zamtchire komanso ma eyapoti kuti aziyendera alendo koma ndi zodzitetezera ku COVID-19.
Unduna wa Zachuma ku Tanzania, a Phillip Mpango, ati ma hotelo ena adatsekedwa zomwe zidapangitsa kuti kuchotsedwa ntchito kwa ogwira ntchito. Momwemonso, Tanzania idayimitsa maulendo apandege omwe amatsogolera kuwonongeka kwa ndalama.
Mwachitsanzo, Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA), Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA), ndi Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority (TAWA) zakhudzidwa kwambiri ndi kuchepa kwa ndalama kutsatira kuchepa kwakukulu kwa zokopa alendo chifukwa cha COVID-19 m'maiko osiyanasiyana ochokera kwawo, Nduna idatero.
Pofuna kuthana ndi mavutowa, Undunawu wanena kuti boma la Tanzania lipereka ndalama zothandizila mabungwe oteteza nyama zakutchire kuti achepetse miliri ya COVID-19.
Mabungwewa alandila ndalama kuchokera kuboma la pachaka la boma kuti zithandizire pantchito zawo pamalipiro a ogwira ntchito ndi zolipiritsa zina komanso ndalama zachitukuko, kuphatikizapo kukonza misewu ndi zida zina zokopa alendo kuchokera kuwonongeko komwe kumadza chifukwa cha mvula yambiri.
Ku Kenya, boma lapereka ndalama zothandizira zokopa alendo kuti zithandizire gawoli kubwerera phindu chifukwa cha kufalikira kwa COVID-19.
Boma la Kenya lati lipititsa patsogolo ntchito yolimbikitsa ntchito zokopa alendo polimbikitsa kugulitsa kwaukapolo pambuyo pa COVID-19 komanso popereka thandizo kukonzanso kwama hotelo kudzera kubweza ngongole zochepa zomwe zingaperekedwe kumakampani azachuma.
Ndalamazi zidzaikidwa pambali kuti zithandizire kukonzanso malo oyendera alendo komanso kukonzanso kwamabizinesi ndi omwe akuchita nawo ntchitoyi.
Ndalamazi zidzagawidwanso ndi Thumba la Kupititsa patsogolo Tourism ndi Fund ya Tourism. Boma la Kenya latulutsanso ndalama zolowera komanso zoyimika magalimoto kuma eyapoti kuti athandize kulowa ndi kutuluka ku Kenya.
Kugawidwa kwa gawo lino kumapitilira $ 4.75 miliyoni yomwe boma lidapatula koyambirira kwa chaka chino kuti igulitse zokopa alendo ku Kenya kuti Kenya ikhale malo oyendera padziko lonse lapansi.
Ku Africa, mliri wa COVID-19 wagunda madera omwe amadalira ntchito zokopa nyama zakutchire kuti apulumuke m'maiko ngati Tanzania, Rwanda, Kenya, ndi Botswana.
Opitilira 70 miliyoni adapita ku Africa chaka chatha kukawona zithunzi zapa safaris, zoyendetsa masewera, kapena kusaka zikho.
Koma popeza ma eyapoti ndi malire tsopano atsekedwa m'maiko ambiri, palibe ndalama kuchokera kwa alendo kuti athandizire anthu am'deralo matendawa atayamba.
Koma madera akum'mawa kwa Africa, makamaka azibusa a Maasai ku Tanzania ndi Kenya, ndi omwe akukhudzidwa kwambiri ndi kutseka kwa zokopa alendo, chifukwa chake kuchepa kwa ndalama zokopa alendo.
Madera odyetserako ziweto a Maasai ku East Africa amakhala makamaka m'malo olemera alendo ndipo malo asinthidwa kukhala mapaki, malo osungira, malo osungira nyama, komanso malo osakira nyama.
Ku Kenya ndi Tanzania, zigawo zikuluzikulu za dziko la Maasai zasandulika malo osungira ndi kuteteza nyama zakutchire komwe kuli malo osungirako zachilengedwe ku Kenya ndi Tanzania omwe amakhala m'malo a Amasai.
Malo a Conservation Area a Ngorongoro kumpoto kwa Tanzania apereka chitsanzo chabwino momwe anthu amtundu wa Amasai akukhalira ndikugawana zachilengedwe limodzi ndi nyama zakutchire, ndikugawana phindu lomwe lapeza chifukwa cha zokopa alendo.
Kudzera mu ndalama zokopa alendo, madera a Amasai omwe amakhala mkati mwa malo osungira nyama zamtchire amalandila gawo la ndalama zomwe alendo amabwera kuchokera kwa iwo.
Ntchito zothandiza anthu zakhazikitsidwa ndikukhazikitsidwa kudzera mu ndalama zokopa alendo, zomwe zikufuna kupindulitsa anthu amtundu wa Amasai pamaphunziro, zaumoyo, madzi, kuwonjezera ziweto, ndi mapulogalamu opezera ndalama.
Pambuyo pa kubuka kwa COVID-19 komwe kumabweretsa zoletsa kuyenda m'misika yayikulu yokaona alendo omwe alibe alendo omwe angayendere malo osungira nyama zakutchire m'miyezi yapitayi, Amasai ndi madera ena omwe akugawana ndalama za alendo tsopano akuvutika ndikusowa ntchito zachitukuko komanso zochitika zachuma.
Pofotokoza momwe COVID-19 yakhudzira madera, oteteza nyama zakutchire adati chidwi padziko lonse lapansi chiyenera kukhala pa anthu kapena madera akumidzi.
Wotsogolera wamkulu wa sayansi ndi zachilengedwe ku WWF UK, Mike Barrett, adati ndi nthawi yoyenera kuti cholinga padziko lonse lapansi chikhale kuteteza miyoyo ya anthu mu mliri wowonongawu, makamaka m'malo omwe anthu amadalira kwambiri zachilengedwe kuti azipeza zofunika pamoyo wawo.
Pokhala ndi ndalama zochepa zaboma, malo osungirako zachilengedwe ku kontrakitala amadalira ndalama zokopa alendo kuti aziyendetsera ndi kusamalira nyama ndi zomera zomwe zimakula bwino kumeneko.
"Kuperewera kwa ndalama kumatanthauza kuti mapaki sangayende pafupipafupi, chifukwa amafunikira mafuta agalimoto zawo ndipo amafunikira chakudya cha oyang'anira kuti ayende," atero a Kaddu Sebunya, wamkulu wa African Wildlife Foundation.
"Palibe oyendera alendo komanso oyang'anira ochepa chifukwa chakuchulukana, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti zikhale zosavuta kuti magulu azigawenga akoleze zachilengedwe," adatero Sebunya.
Anati nkhawa yake yayikulu ndi ya anthu aku Africa aku 20 mpaka 30 miliyoni omwe amapeza ndalama mwachindunji kapena mwanjira zina kuchokera ku zokopa alendo.
Ambiri amatenga nawo mbali pantchito zokopa zokopa alendo kuchokera kumayendedwe ogwiritsira ntchito safari kupita kukagonera kumudzi kapena kugulitsa zokolola zachikhalidwe kwa alendo.
Pokhala malo achiwiri omwe akukula mwachangu padziko lonse lapansi, Africa idayembekezera kuti chaka cha 2020 chizichita chaka chopindulitsa, kupeza madola mabiliyoni ambiri. Koma COVID-19 itayamba, alendo adasiya kubwera, ndipo bizinesiyo idangoima mwadzidzidzi.
Koma tsopano, kuphatikiza koopsa kwa kutsekedwa kwa mayiko, makasitomala ang'onoang'ono azokopa alendo, komanso makampani omwe amalipira alendo ochokera kumayiko ena amatanthauza kuti makampani azokopa alendo aku Africa sangasinthe msanga kuti zisagwe.
Kupititsa patsogolo zokopa alendo zakunyumba ndi zigawo ndi njira yabwino kwambiri yomwe ingapangitse kontinenti ya Africa kukhala malo amodzi, poganizira zokopa alendo ambiri mdziko muno, malinga ndi omwe aku Africa akuchita zamaulendo komanso zokopa alendo.
Nduna Yowona Zokopa ndi Zinyama ku Kenya, a Najib Balala, adati kumapeto kwa mwezi watha kuti zokopa alendo zakunyumba ndi zigawo ndiye njira yofunikira komanso yabwino kwambiri yomwe ingabweretsere zokopa alendo ku Africa msanga ku mliri wa COVID-19.
