Miyendo yanga itayingidwa bwino kuseri kwa makutu ake, kukhala pamwamba kumawoneka ngati kotonthoza kuposa kukhala pansi. Kugwiritsitsa pamphumi pa njovu pamene inkasambira mumtsinje woyenda pang'onopang'ono kunali kosangalatsa kulingalira.

Kukwera njovu yodekha, yazaka 48, yomwe kale inali yodula mitengo ku Anantara Resort Golden Triangle, ndinakhala ngati kutenga nawo mbali pa zinthu zakale osati kungoima movutikira panjira ya alendo; ngati kuti sizikanakhala zokwanira.

Oyang'anira njovu ndi anzawo odalirika kwambiri a njovu ndipo miyambo yawo, moyo wawo wodziletsa, komanso chilankhulo chawo kuyambira kalekale.

John Roberts, wobadwira ku Devon, mkulu wa njovu pa malo ochitirako holidewo, anati: “Anthu achikhalidwe chawo mwina ndiwo amene anandibweretsa kuno,” anatero John Roberts, yemwe ndi mkulu wa njovu pa malo ochitirako holidewo, “Moyo wozungulira iwo ndiwo unandikopa kwambiri mofanana ndi njovuzo.”

Roberts amalankhula ndi professorial air of anthropologist koma chidwi cha omenyera ufulu. Iye anati: “Oweta ng’ombe alidi anyamata a ng’ombe a kum’maŵa, chifukwa ali ndi chikhalidwe ndiponso moyo wapadera,” iye anatero, “yomwe ikutha.”

Kudzipereka kwa moyo wonse
Malo achitetezo a Anantara ku Chiang Rai ali m'mphepete mwa Mtsinje wa Sob Ruak, mtsinje wa Mekong wolemera, womwe umapanga malire pakati pa Thailand ndi Burma. Nditayamba ulendo wanga m'bandakucha, nkhunguyo inaphimba malo ochezera a maekala mazana atatu, omwe, monga mlendo, anali kuseri kwa nyumba yanu komanso malo enieni oyendayenda a njovu.

Tsiku lina pamsasapo lidayamba ndi oyang'anira m'bandakucha kukatenga njovu. Kenako tonse tinayenda mpaka m'mphepete mwa mtsinje kuti tikasambitse nyama zomwe zinali surreal choreography. Njovuzo zinathamanga uku ndi uku pamene ozisamalirawo mwachikondi akusenda fumbi ndi nsangalabwi kuchokera pakhungu lawo lokanda ndi makwinya, pamene alendofe tinali titapitirizabe kutero. Mosiyana ndi ife, oyang’anira njovuwo anakhomeredwa pa njovuzo ngati kuti anazisema m’malo mwake.

Njovuzo zikuseweretsa zinathira madzi ochuluka m’mbiya zawo kenaka n’kulavula katundu wawo ngati zokonkha zimphona.

Wosamalira wachichepere wina, K. Khanchai (Khan) Yodlee akuseweretsa njovu ya njovu yake yaimuna ya zaka zisanu ndi zinayi, Pepsi, chilombo chimene walera kuyambira ali wamng’ono.

"Pepsi ndi mnyamata, koma ndi wakhalidwe labwino komanso wokondwa kwambiri," adatero Khan, "Njovu yanga ili ngati mwana, mchimwene kapena wachibale wanga. Tili pamodzi kuyambira pachiyambi, ndipo ndidzakhala naye mpaka kalekale.

Khan, wochokera ku Surin, akuchokera m'banja lomwe limatsatira miyambo yake yosamalira mibadwo yakale. Agogo ake aamuna ankaweta njovu ndipo m’badwo wa abambo ake ankazigwiritsira ntchito pa miyambo, miyambo, ndi maphwando.

Tsiku pakati pa anyamata a ng'ombe
Ngati uku kunali kulawa kukhala woweta ng'ombe ndiye kuti kunali kuyesa kofatsa koma komasuka kwa ine. Ewong, yemwe anali wakhungu, anali atakokerapo mitengo mkati mwa nkhalango zapakati pa Burma ndi Thailand. Anzanga omwe ndimayenda nawo ku Canada - palibe anyamata oweta ng'ombe koma ochita chidwi kwambiri paulendo wawo - adakwera njovu zambiri za Bow, Makam, ndi Lanna. Njovu zimenezo zinabwera kumsasawo zitakhala m’misewu ya Bangkok, Chiang Mai, kapena Pataya. Ankakanda mwapang'onopang'ono pamiyala kapena kupatuka panjira kuti akatenge mphukira zowoneka bwino za nsungwi kapena zobiriwira zina.

Kumsasawo tinaphunzirapo ena mwa malamulo makumi asanu ndi awiri a thupi omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi oyang'anira. "Motani" amatanthauza kuyimitsa, pomwe "Pai" anali kupita patsogolo. “Map Lung” linali lamulo la kukhala pansi, pamene njovu inkaweramitsa mutu itauzidwa kuti “Tak Lung.”

Tinaphunzitsidwa njira zosiyanasiyana zokwera ndi kutsika, mwina kuchokera m’mbali kapena kuyenda kwachilendo kokankhidwira pamphuno yake. Chodabwitsa n’chakuti sizinatenge nthawi kuti ndizolowere moyo kuchokera pamwamba. Mmodzi mwa anzanga a pa facebook adanenanso, "galimoto yabwino," pa chithunzi cha njovu yanga.

Ntchito yophunzitsa anthu oyendetsa njovuyi ndi yofanana ndi malo oteteza zachilengedwe omwe anakhazikitsidwa m'chaka cha 2003. Msasa wa Njovu unakhala wothandizana ndi malowa. Ntchitoyi idayamba ndi njovu zinayi zomwe zidachita lendi mogwirizana ndi bungwe loyang'anira njovu la Thai Elephant Conservation Center. Koma posakhalitsa malowa anayamba kupulumutsa njovu m’misewu ya m’matauni akuluakulu.

Njovu zoposa 30 ndi kuwirikiza kawiri chiwerengero cha oyang'anira ndi mabanja awo tsopano akukhala pabwalo la Anantara lero.

Miyoyo ya ma Mahouts ili ndi chiyambi cha mafuko
"Zinanditengera zaka zingapo kuti ndidziwe a Chao Gui," adatero Roberts, "kwa anthu awa, ndi mayitanidwe apadera a fuko lawo. Alonda a ku Surin ndi chilichonse chokhudza miyambo yawo, yomwe imakhazikika poyang'anira njovu."

Zaka mazana angapo zapitazo, akuti mbadwa za ena mwa akapolo a masiku ano a ku Thailand ankaweta njovu zakutchire. Mofanana ndi agogo ake a Khan, anyamata oweta ng’ombe amenewa ndi amene ankaphunzitsa njovuzo ndipo pamodzi anapitiriza kukonza njira zodula mitengo m’dzikoli.

Chizoloŵezi cha oyendetsa njovu chokhalira limodzi ndi njovu chinali kufala ku mibadwomibadwo. Patapita nthawi, alangiziwa anakula n’kukhala gulu la anthu olankhula chinenero chawochawo, ngakhalenso zinenero zosiyanasiyana.

Zonse zinasintha pambuyo pa 1989. Munali m’chaka chimenecho pamene dziko la Thailand linakhazikitsa lamulo loletsa kudula njovu, ndipo mbadwo wina wa oyang’anira mwadzidzidzi unadzipeza ulova. Nyamazo ndi abusa awo anabwerera kumalo amene kale anali okonda njovu ku Surin, koma vuto la kupeza zofunika pa moyo wawo linachititsa kuti ambiri a iwo apite m’misewu yaphokoso ya ku Bangkok akulipiritsa alendo odzaona malo chifukwa chojambula zithunzi ndi njovu kapena kukhala ndi njovu. Amadyetsa nyama zanjala nzimbe kapena mphukira zansungwi.

"M'misewu, wosamalira njovu m'modzi amayendetsa njovu pomwe ena awiri amalipiritsa alendo 20 kapena 30 baht kuti awadyetse, kapena 10 kapena 20 baht pa chithunzi," woyang'anira kampu ya Anantara Elephant K. Prakorn (Seng) Saejaw anandiuza kuti, "Iwo akhoza kukhala m’makwalala mpaka pakati pa usiku, ndipo izi sizili bwino kwa iwo.”

Malamulo aposachedwapa anakhazikitsidwa kuti alange kudyetsa njovu pagulu, ndipo magulu achidwi akukakamizika kuwongolera maola awo ogwirira ntchito, kukhazikitsidwa kwa kadyedwe koyenera, ngakhale zaka zovomerezeka zopuma pantchito kwa nyama. Komabe, Roberts akudandaula kuti kuchepa kwa chidwi kwa apolisi komanso kufunika kopeza ndalama kumapangitsa kuti malamulo onse aziyenda bwino.

Kuyang'ana ndalama zina
Chifukwa cha chiletsocho, bungwe loyang’aniridwa ndi boma la Thai Elephant Conservation Center linayamba kufunafuna njira zina zopezera osamalira, ntchito zimene lerolino zimaphatikizapo gulu la oimba a njovu, njovu zomwe zimapenta, kapena zina zosonyeza luso lawo lodula mitengo.

Malo achitetezo a Anantara adakhazikitsa Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation yomwe imapereka pogona njovu. Oyang'anira omwe ali ndi mwayi wokhala pano amapindulanso ndi njira yatsopano yopezera ndalama pamene amaphunzitsa komanso kukwera njovu kwa alendo ogona.

"Zinali surreal kotheratu," honeymoonler Lori Anders Grubsztajn anati atatha tsiku ophunzitsidwa mahout pa hotelo, "Nyama zinali zazikulu ndithu, koma zofatsa kwambiri. Amakhala atsitsi kwambiri kuposa momwe ndimaganizira, ndipo tsitsi lawo ndi losauka kwambiri.

"Koma tinali ndi chibwenzi, ndipo tinapsompsonana tisananyamuke."
