Anapereka chitsanzo cha malo omwe atchulidwa posachedwapa a World Heritage Namib Sand Sea ku Namibia, omwe atsimikizira kuti anthu omwe akukhala kale kumeneko ndi ziweto zawo apitirize kukhala ndi ufulu wa nthaka ndi chuma.

Msonkhanowu unamva kuti ntchito zina zachitukuko sizikugwirizana ndi kulembedwa kwa malo ndipo izi zikuphatikizapo ntchito zokopa alendo zosalamulirika komanso zosayang'aniridwa zomwe zimapangitsa kuti anthu azichulukirachulukira komanso migodi m'kati mwa malowa ndi malo otetezedwa. Pankhani ya chitukuko cha zokopa alendo, zolemba zosankhidwa ku Botswana zikupereka mabedi opitilira 1,300 kapena 700 pamalo oyambira, komanso mabedi 24 panyumba iliyonse. Mwachiwonekere pa chitukuko cha migodi, ndandandayo imathetsa ntchito zofufuza kapena migodi pa malo onse omwe atchulidwa.

M’nkhani yake, woyang’anira wamkulu mu dipatimenti yosungiramo zinthu zakale ndi zipilala za dziko (DNMM), Gertrude Matswiri, ananena kuti cholinga chonse n’chakuti “sipadzakhalanso ziphaso zofufuza ndi/kapena zamigodi zoperekedwa m’chigawo cha delta ndi panhandle. Palibe zilolezo zatsopano zofufuza ndi/kapena zamigodi zomwe zimaperekedwa mdera la 15km kuchokera ku delta ndi panhandle.

Malayisensi omwe alipo omwe ali ndi nkhawa pazachitetezo amayenera kuchotsedwa ndi boma akangowachotsa ndi omwe ali ndi ziphaso pano, adawonjezera. Pakali pano, malo okhawo a dziko la Botswana, Tsodilo Hills akuti akupita patsogolo, akulembetsa alendo pafupifupi 20 000 pachaka, makamaka pambuyo popereka ndalama zomwe zikufunika P10 miliyoni kuchokera ku Debswana-run Diamond Trust.

Mabowo awiri akumbidwa kwa anthu ammudzi - amalizidwa ndi kuthira madzi kumudzi ndipo anthu ambiri akugwira ntchitoyo. Matsweri adaulula kuti pali mapulani omanga nyumba zogona ziwiri pafupi ndi malowa, ndikubowola chitsime china chomwetsa madzi ziweto.
