“Lipoti latsopanoli liyenera kukopa chidwi cha njovu za m’nkhalango. Zosaoneka bwino komanso zoyang'aniridwa mosavuta kuposa njovu za ku savanna, zimakonda kunyalanyazidwa ndi maboma ndi opereka ndalama," anatero Kathleen Gobush, wofufuza wamkulu wa njovu za ku Africa. Kathleen anati: “Zosoŵa zawo zimaphimbidwa ndi za asuweni awo aakulu monga zamoyo Zangozi Pangozi ndi zimene zili pangozi yaikulu.
Pogwiritsa ntchito zidziwitso zakale za m'ma 1960 za njovu za ku savanna ndi 1970s za njovu za m'nkhalango, Gobush ndi anzake adapanga chiŵerengero cha ziwerengero kuti ayese kuchepetsa chiwerengero cha anthu pakapita nthawi.
Njovu ndi imodzi mwa mitundu yofunidwa kwambiri ndi ozembetsa nyama zakuthengo. Pofuna kudziwa kuchuluka kwa ngozi, akatswiri a ku IUCN avomereza kuti njovu za ku Africa zimagawidwa m'magulu awiri. Njovu ya m’nkhalangoyi ndi yaikulu, ili ndi minyanga yokhotakhota, ndipo imayendayenda m’zigwa za kum’mwera kwa chipululu cha Sahara ku Africa pamene njovu ya m’nkhalangoyi ndi yaing’ono komanso yakuda kwambiri, ili ndi minyanga yowongoka, ndipo imakhala m’nkhalango za equatorial ku Central ndi West Africa.
Mtsogoleri wa zamoyo za ku Africa ku World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Bas Huijbregts, adati zotsatira zabwino zomwe zingakhalepo pakugawa njovu za nkhalango ndi savanna kukhala mitundu yosiyana sizinganenedwe mopambanitsa. "Zovuta za mitundu yonse iwiriyi ndi zosiyana kwambiri, monganso njira zopulumutsira," adatero.
Chiŵerengero cha njovu za m’nkhalango chatsika ndi 86 peresenti m’zaka 31 zapitazi pamene chiŵerengero cha njovu za m’nkhalango chatsika ndi 60 peresenti m’zaka 50 zapitazi, malinga ndi bungwe la IUCN, lomwe linanena kuti mitundu yonse iwiri ya njovu zimene panopa zikuyerekezeredwa kukhala pafupifupi 415,000. zatsika kwambiri kuyambira 2008 chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa nyamakazi zomwe zidafika pachimake mu 2011.
Wolimbikira kufuna minyanga ya njovu chifukwa cha kukongola kwake ndi ntchito zake mwaluso zachepetsa kwambiri kuchuluka kwa njovu mu kontinenti yonse ya Africa, kuthamangitsa kutayika kwa mitundu yamtengo wapatali yomwe imagwira ntchito yofunika kwambiri pakusunga zachilengedwe zamitundumitundu.
Pangano la mayiko osiyanasiyana pofuna kuteteza zomera ndi nyama zomwe zili pangozi (CITES) zinaletsa malonda a nyanga za njovu padziko lonse mu 1989, koma si mayiko onse omwe adatsatira Mgwirizanowu, ndipo pakhala nsonga ndi zigwa zogulitsa minyanga ya njovu pazaka makumi atatu zapitazi.
Mayiko ambiri a ku Asia ndi kum’mwera chakum’mawa kwa Asia akugwirabe ntchito yogulitsa minyanga ya njovu popanda chilolezo. Mliri wapadziko lonse wa COVID-19 usanachitike, njovu zaku Africa pafupifupi 20,000 zinkaphedwabe chaka chilichonse chifukwa cha minyanga yawo, ndipo njira zogulitsira minyanga ya njovu ku Africa zikuyendabe kwa ogulitsa ku Asia, koma m'zaka zaposachedwa, China yawonjezera ndalama zake. zoyesayesa zoletsa malonda a minyanga ya njovu.
"Kumanganso kuchuluka kwa njovu kumafuna kuteteza malo awo komanso kupitilizabe kuletsa kupha nyama mozembera ndi kugulitsa minyanga ya njovu," adatero Scott Schlossberg, kadaulo wa data ku Elephants without Borders, bungwe loteteza nyama zakutchire ku Botswana Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO).
"Tikugwirizana ndi lingaliro la IUCN pakadali pano losintha njovu za ku Africa kuti zikhale pachiwopsezo chachikulu komanso kuti njovu ya savannah ikhale pachiwopsezo, ndipo tikukhulupirira kuti ikutsatira njira zotsatirira," adatero Dr. Philip Muruthi, Wachiwiri kwa Purezidenti. a Africa Wildlife Foundation (AWF) omwe amayang'anira kasungidwe ka mitundu ndi sayansi.
Kuwunika kwa IUCN kudawonetsanso kuti pakhala mapologalamu oteteza njovu m'nkhalango ku Gabon ndi Congo-Brazzaville komanso Okavango-Zambezi Trans frontier Conservation Area yamitundu ya savanna.
Bruno Oberle, Director General wa IUCN adanena m'mawu atolankhani kuti izi zikutsimikizira kuchepa kwa njovu kutha kuthetsedwa. "Tiyenera kugwirira ntchito limodzi kuti tiwonetsetse kuti chitsanzo chawo chitha kutsatiridwa," adatero.
IUCN imadalira pa zinthu zosiyanasiyana kuti idziwe mmene nyama ilili yosamalira, monga kuchuluka kwa chiwerengero chake ndi mitsinje yake.
Zinyama zakutchire ndizotsogola zokopa alendo komanso gwero la ndalama zokopa alendo ku Africa. Kuchuluka kwa njovu kumapereka maulendo apadera ojambulira zithunzi omwe amakopa alendo mamiliyoni ambiri ochokera ku Europe ndi America kumayendera madera otetezedwa ndi nyama zakuthengo ku Africa.
