Kuchira ku mliriwu komanso kulimba mtima ku zovuta zomwe zidzachitike m'tsogolo ndi ... imodzi mwamitu yayikulu pamsonkhanowu," atero Dr Nikhil Advani, Mtsogoleri wa Project for the African Nature Based Tourism Platform.

ngakhale Kenya ndi Namibia ali ndi chuma cha ndale, njira ndi njira zosiyana kwambiri, pamodzi amapereka maphunziro ofunikira a momwe angakhazikitsire ndi kusunga bwino kasamalidwe ka chilengedwe ndi zachilengedwe.

Zotayika za kugwa kwa zokopa alendo ku Kenya zidayerekezedwa pa KES 5 biliyoni (US$ 45.5 miliyoni). Malo oteteza zachilengedwe ku Kenya ndi pafupifupi 11% ya malo onse a dzikolo ndipo amakhudza mwachindunji mabanja pafupifupi 930,000 - anthu 100,000 omwe ali mdera la Maasai Mara lokha.

Chifukwa cha mliri wa COVID-19, 80-90% ya malo osungirako zachilengedwe ku Namibia adataya ndalama, zomwe zimafika pafupifupi US $ 4.1million pachaka kuphatikiza $ 4.4million (N$ 65 miliyoni) m'malipiro a ogwira ntchito zokopa alendo omwe amakhala ndi kugwira ntchito m'malo awa.

Onse a Kenya ndi Namibia adasonkhanitsa bwino ndalama zothandizira anthu mwadzidzidzi kuti asungitse chitetezo cha anthu ammudzi pa nthawi ya mliriwu pokonza njira zobwezeretsanso magulu ankhondo oteteza zachilengedwe komanso mabizinesi okopa alendo.

Ku Kenya, thandizo lalikulu linaphatikizapo ndondomeko yolimbikitsa ya boma yomwe inapereka ndalama zokwana madola 9.1 miliyoni zothandizira anthu 160 osamalira zachilengedwe komanso US $ 9.1 miliyoni kulipira malipiro a asikauti 5,500 omwe angolembedwa kumene pansi pa Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). Kuphatikiza apo, boma lidapereka ngongole zofewa zokwana $ 18.2 miliyoni kwa ogwira ntchito zokopa alendo kuti athe kukonzanso malo awo ndikukonzanso mabizinesi awo. Boma lidachepetsanso msonkho wamtengo wapatali (VAT) kuchoka pa 16% kufika pa 14% ndikusintha mfundo zina kuti zitsimikizire kuti mabizinesi abwerera mwakale pambuyo poti mliri wa COVID-19 wachepa.

Ku Namibia, ndalama zopitilila US$2.4 miliyoni zinamwazikana, kuthandiza anthu opitilila 3,600 ndi mabungwe 129 a m’maiko okhudza zokopa alendo ndi kasungidwe ka chilengedwe. "COVID-19 Facility ku Namibia idatha kusamutsa ndalama mwachangu kumadera onse osamalira chitetezo chifukwa cha momwe zidaliri - Community Conservation Fund ya Namibia - CCFN," akutero Richard Diggle, Wogwirizanitsa WWF Namibia. "Pulogalamuyi idakhazikitsidwa mchaka cha 2017 ndipo cholinga chake ndikukhazikitsa ndalama zokhazikika."

Zoyesayesa izi zidayenda bwino chifukwa cha utsogoleri wamphamvu komanso mgwirizano. Zomangidwa zaka 30 zapitazi, maiko awiriwa akhazikitsa mgwirizano wamphamvu pakati pa maboma, mabungwe omwe siaboma ndi ogwira nawo ntchito pagulu ndipo adapanga malo oti athandizire ntchito zosamalira zachilengedwe komanso zachilengedwe.

"Kenya ndi Namibia zili ndi madera ochita bwino pakati pa anthu, mabungwe omwe siaboma, mabungwe aboma, ndi boma, onse omwe apereka ndalama zambiri pantchito zoteteza zachilengedwe komanso zokopa alendo kwa zaka zambiri," atero Dr Nikhil Advani, Project Lead for the African Nature Based. Tourism Platform. 

"Zokumana nazo zawo zosiyana koma zopambana zawonetsa momwe angakhazikitsire, kuthandizira ndikupangitsa kuti ntchito zosamalira zachilengedwe komanso zosamalira zachilengedwe zikhale zopambana komanso zolimba, ndikusunga mapindu owoneka kwa madera omwe adawakhazikitsa ndikuwongolera."
