Ntchito zokopa alendo za primate zimalimbikitsa chuma cha Uganda ndi USD 16 miliyoni chaka chilichonse

Pamsonkhano wachiwiri wa Congress womwe wangotha ​​posachedwa African Primatological Society (APS) ku Entebbe, uganda, kuyambira Seputembara 3-5, 2019, a Hon. Ephraim Kamuntu, Minister of Tourism Wildlife and Antiquities, kuyimira Prime Minister waku Uganda, Rt. Hon. Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda ndiye adatsegula mwambowu.

Mothandizidwa ndi Arcus Foundation, Margot Marsh Biodiversity Foundation, Houston Zoo, Ernest Kleinwort Charitable Trust, Solidaridad, San Diego Zoo, Primate Conservation Inc., Rare Species Fund, Zoo Victoria, Heidelberg Zoo, PASRES, ndi West African Primate Conservation Action ( WAPCA), chochitika cha masiku atatu chinasonkhanitsa akatswiri opitilira 3 a anyani, kuphatikiza omwe akufuna akatswiri a primatologists, ofufuza, osamalira zachilengedwe, okhudzidwa ndi zokopa alendo, komanso opanga mfundo ku Africa ndi padziko lonse lapansi kuti agawane malingaliro ndi zomwe apeza pakufufuza, kukambirana mutu wachaka chino: "Mavuto ndi Mwayi pa Kusamalira Kwachilengedwe mu Africa," ndikupeza njira zolimbikitsira kutengapo gawo mwachangu kwa akatswiri a primatology aku Africa m'bwalo lapadziko lonse la primatology. Ndi nthumwi za 300 mwa 250 zochokera ku mayiko 312 osiyanasiyana a ku Africa, APS inakwaniritsa cholinga chake chopereka njira yofikira kwa akatswiri a primatologists a ku Africa, makamaka, kuti agwirizane, kulumikizana, ndikukambirana zovuta ndi zovuta, komanso mwayi ndi zotheka. mayankho omwe akukumana ndi anyani aku Africa. USA, Europe, UK, Asia, Australia, ndi Latin America onse adayimilira bwino pamsonkhanowu.

Dr. Rugunda adanena kuti madera otetezedwa ndi nkhalango ndi 20% ya nthaka yonse ya Uganda, adatsindika kuti atsogoleri a Uganda anali odzipereka pa kuteteza, zomwe ndizofunikira makamaka chifukwa cha mpikisano wokhudzana ndi kukwera kwa nthaka komanso kufunikira kwa mphamvu. Zamoyo zosiyanasiyana za ku Uganda zikuphatikizapo 54 peresenti ya anyani omwe atsala padziko lapansi; 11% ya mitundu ya mbalame yolembedwa padziko lonse lapansi, yomwe imapanga 50% ya mitundu ya mbalame za ku Africa; 39% ya zinyama zaku Africa; ndi mitundu 1,249 yojambulidwa ya agulugufe; pakati pa zikhalidwe zina zambiri zakuthengo.

Kupyolera mu khama lophatikizana, adathokoza UWA, mabungwe omwe siaboma, komanso othandizira mayiko akunja makamaka kuti kuchuluka kwa anyani a m'mapiri komwe kunkacheperako ku Uganda kwasinthidwa ndipo tsopano akuwonetsa kukula kwabwino. Komabe, malo awo okhala akuwopsezedwa, zomwe zimasonyezanso chifukwa chake msonkhanowu uli wofunika kwambiri. Anyani ndi malo awo okhala ali pangozi chifukwa cha kudula mitengo mwachisawawa, matenda, kusaka nyama zakutchire, kupha nyama zakutchire, ndi mikangano ya anthu ndi nyama zakutchire. Kuwonjezeka kwa chiwerengero cha anthu ndi vuto lalikulu lomwe likukumana ndi madera otetezedwa ku Uganda, nyama zakuthengo, ndi anyani.

Kamuntu adatsindika kufunika koteteza anyani kuti atetezedwe ndi chitukuko chokhazikika, ponena kuti m'pofunika kuyesetsa mwakhama m'magawo osiyanasiyana. Ananenanso kuti Uganda ndiyonyadira kukhala ndi msonkhano wachiwiri wa APS.

Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka, Vice President wa APS, Founder and CEO of Conservation Through Public Health and Chair of the APS Conference 2019 organising committee, apereka chidule cha msonkhanowu ndipo anathokoza madonors ndi mabwenzi chifukwa cha thandizo lawo kuti msonkhanowu ukhale wotheka komanso wokhazikika. kumene mabotolo amadzi a aluminiyamu ogwiritsiridwanso ntchito m’malo mwa mabotolo apulasitiki ndi khofi wa Gorilla Conservation wochokera kwa alimi ozungulira Bwindi Impenetrable National Park anaperekedwa kwa nthumwi. Mwambowu udatsatiridwanso ndi zosangalatsa za anthu amtundu wa Batwa ku Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.

Kalema adawonetsa kufunika kwa msonkhanowu pothandizira primatology ya ku Africa ndi kasungidwe ka anyani a ku Africa, ponena kuti gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu a anyani amapezeka mu Africa, ena mwa iwo ali pangozi kapena ali pangozi yaikulu. Kanema wa msonkhano wa APS 2019 adaseweredwanso, kuwonetsa ziwopsezo kwa anyani aku Uganda, omwe ali ndi mitundu yopitilira 15 ya anyani.

Dr. Inza Kone, Purezidenti wa APS ndi Directeur General wa Center Suisse de Recherches Scientifiques ku Ivory Coast, anapereka mwachidule mbiri ya APS. "Kuyambira 2012, akatswiri odziwika bwino a primatologists a ku Africa akhala akuyesetsa kukhazikitsa gulu lomwe lidzalimbikitse kuchitapo kanthu komanso kuphatikizika kwa anthu aku Africa omwe amagwira ntchito yosamalira nyama zakutchire ndi kafukufuku, kugwirizanitsa zoyesayesa za akatswiri akale a ku Africa, kupititsa patsogolo luso lawo komanso chikoka pantchito zawo zosiyanasiyana. ndi kulimbikitsa zotsatira za zochita zawo zoteteza.” Zoyesayesa izi zidafika pachimake pakukhazikitsidwa kwa African Primatological Society (APS) mu Epulo 2016. APS idachita msonkhano wotsegulira ku Bingerville, Côte d'Ivoire, mu Julayi 2017.

Msonkhanowo udawonanso nkhani zingapo za akatswiri odziwika bwino a primatologists ndi akatswiri, kuphatikiza a Sam Mwandha, Executive Director wa UWA, omwe adawunikira kufunikira kwa anyani pachuma cha Uganda powonetsa kuti 60% ya ndalama za UWA zimachokera ku zokopa alendo. UWA imalandira pafupifupi 60 biliyoni ya UGX (yofanana ndi pafupifupi 16 miliyoni USD) chaka chilichonse kuchokera ku zokopa alendo.

Msonkhano wa APS udachitira umboni nkhani zolemera zochokera kwa ofufuza ku Africa konse akukambirana za momwe anyani a ku Africa ali ndi mndandanda wofiira wa IUCN komanso mkhalidwe wa primatology m'magawo 6 aliwonse mu Africa (Kummawa, Kumadzulo, Kumwera, Kumpoto, Pakati pa Africa, ndi Madagascar) . N'zomvetsa chisoni kuti panali mutu wofananawo womwe unkachitika pa zokambirana za dera lililonse, ndi anyani kudera lonselo akukhala pachiopsezo chifukwa cha zochita za anthu. Izi mwina zinayambitsa zokambirana tsiku lotsatira pamene nthumwi zinagawanika m'magulu malinga ndi madera awo akatswiri. Mitu yofunika kwambiri ya tsiku lachiwiri idaphatikizapo Kusunga ndi Kasamalidwe; Ecology ndi Makhalidwe; Zosiyanasiyana, Taxonomy ndi Status; Ecology ndi Makhalidwe; ndi Zaumoyo, Tourism ndi Maphunziro. Panalinso msonkhano wapadera wokhazikika wokonzekera mapulani a Red Colobus, omwe ndi gulu la anyani omwe ali pachiwopsezo kwambiri mu Africa. Anyani a Red Colobus amaonedwa kuti ali pa Red Alert, akukumana ndi vuto lakutha lomwe likufuna kuchitapo kanthu mwachangu, kolunjika, komanso kogwirizana. Maulaliki olimbikitsa okhudza momwe apitira patsogolo polimbikitsa anthu a ku Uganda pa maphunziro a primatology adaperekedwa ndi akatswiri odziwika bwino a primatology ochokera ku UK, USA, ndi Japan, Prof Vernon Reynolds, Dr. Jessica Rothman, ndi Pulofesa Takeshi Furuichi.

Prof. Jonah Ratsimbazafy, anakambilana za kuthekera kwa utsogoleri wa mu Africa mu primatology pokonza mfundo zoteteza dziko ndi zigawo. Dr Fabian Leendertz wa The Robert Koch Institute anatsatira ndi kukambirana nkhani za miliri m’mapulojekiti ofufuza anyani ndi kasungidwe ka zinthu.

Omwe analipo pa msonkhanowo anali Ambassador wa Japan ku Uganda, Olemekezeka Kazuaki Kameda ndi Meya wa Entebbe, Wopembedza Vincent de Paul Mayanja.

Oyimilira ochokera ku Uganda Tourism Board, UWA, Conservation Through Public Health, International Gorilla Conservation Program, Institute of Tropical Forest Conservation, Volcanoes Safaris, Great Lakes Safaris, ndi Arcus Foundation adakambirana za mwayi ndi zovuta za chitukuko chokhazikika. Kupyolera mu primate ecotourism, kuyang'ana kwambiri zomwe zikuchitika ku Uganda.

Iwo adagawana nawo malingaliro awo, akuvomereza kuti ntchito yoyendera anyani yayikulu yakweza chuma cha Uganda, koma iyenera kuchitidwa mosamalitsa komanso kudzera m'maso mwathu. Lingaliro linalake linali kuvala masks paulendo wopita ku gorilla ndi anyani ku Uganda kuti achepetse kufala kwa matenda pakati pa anthu ndi anyani akulu monga momwe adakhazikitsira malo ena akuluakulu anyani ku Tanzania, DRC, ndi Ivory Coast. Analangizidwanso kuti akhazikitse ntchito zokopa alendo kupitilira anyani akulu komwe anyani agolide komanso zokopa alendo zausiku zikuwonetsa kale kuthekera ku Uganda komanso kuti ntchito zokopa alendo ku Africa ziziyendetsedwa ndi njira imodzi yofanana.

Pamene msonkhanowo ukuyandikira magawo ake omaliza, 2019 Strategic Implementation Interventions and Declarations zotsatirazi zinagwirizana:

- Pakufunika mapulogalamu ambiri aku Africa kuti apange utsogoleri ndi kupatsa mphamvu.

- Ndikofunikira kulimbikitsa kuphatikiza madera ndi padziko lonse lapansi kwa akatswiri a primatologists aku Africa kuti athandizire anyani padziko lonse lapansi.

- Kupyolera mu mgwirizano monga APS, kuyesetsa kuyenera kuchitidwa kuti awonenso ndikugwiritsa ntchito ndondomeko zomwe akufuna.

- Njira yamagulu ambiri iyenera kuchitidwa pofuna kulimbikitsa ntchito zoteteza zachilengedwe kuphatikizapo maboma, madera, mabungwe apadera, ndi mabungwe omwe siaboma.

Dr. Inza Kone adathetsa mwambowu polengeza Africa Primatological Capital ndikulengeza kuti msonkhano wotsatira wa APS udzachitika mu 2021 ku Gabon.

Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH) inatsogolera komiti yokonzekera ya APS 2019, ikugwira ntchito limodzi ndi Center Suiss de Rescherches Scientifiques ku Ivory Coast, Uganda Wildlife Authority, Uganda Tourism Board, Uganda Wildlife Education Centre, Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities, Makerere University. , National Forestry Authority, Integrated Rural Community Empowerment (IRUCE), African Institute on Food Security and Environment (AIFE Uganda), Bwindi and Mgahinga Trust, Chimpanzee Trust, Jane Goodall Institute, Budongo Conservation Field Station, Institute of Primate Research in Kenya, other mabungwe omwe siaboma, Tiyeni Tiyende, Tourism Uganda, International Airtime Topup, Gorilla Conservation Coffee, Urge Uganda, PFT Events, ndi Add Value. Otsatira otsatirawa adathandizira msonkhano: Arcus Foundation, Margot Marsh Biodiversity Foundation, Houston Zoo, Ernest Kleinwort Charitable Trust, Solidaridad, San Diego Zoo, Primate Conservation Inc, Rare Species Fund, Zoo Victoria, Heidelberg Zoo, PASRES, ndi West African Primate Conservation Ntchito (WAPCA).

Pamsonkhano waukulu wapachaka womwe unachitika utangotha ​​msonkhano wa APS 2019, Wako Ronald, Senior Primate Keeper ku UWEC, adakhala wachiwiri wa ku Uganda kusankhidwa kukhala mu Komiti Yaikulu ya APS komwe adzagwira ntchito ngati Ofesi Yoyang'anira Osamalidwa ndi Kubereketsa.

Katswiri wodziwika bwino wa primatologist, Dr. Jane Goodall, Woyambitsa Jane Goodall Institute ndi UN Messenger of Peace, anali wodziwika kwambiri pakati pa omwe adalandira mphotho chifukwa cha ntchito yabwino yomanga Africa pakufufuza ndi kusunga nyama. Doyen wazaka 85 wa anyani amene wadzipereka zaka zoposa theka la zaka zana ku kafukufuku wa primatology adalandira mphotho pa chakudya chamadzulo cha tsiku la 2 chomwe chinachitikira ku Uganda Wildlife Education Center ku Entebbe.

Ngakhale kuti sanalipo mwakuthupi, Dr. Goodall adalowa nawo pamsonkhanowu pamwambo wotsegulira tsiku lapitalo kudzera pavidiyo. Iye anafotokoza za zaka zake zoyamba kuphunzira za anyani a ku Gombe National Park ku Tanzania. M’masiku ake oyambirira, patapita miyezi ingapo atalandira anyaniwa, Dr. Jane Goodall anatulukira kuti anyaniwa ankagwiritsa ntchito zipangizo. Poyamba ankaganiza kuti ndi anthu okha amene amatha kugwiritsa ntchito zida. Iye anakumbukira kuti anachita chidwi kwambiri ndi mmene anyaniwa analili ngati anthu m’njira zambiri ndipo anati: “Simungathe kugawana moyo wanu ndi nyama iliyonse ndipo osadziwa kuti ili ndi umunthu.”

Zina zabwino zomwe adalandira pamsonkhanowu zidaphatikizapo Ulaliki Wabwino Kwambiri Woperekedwa kwa Ramanankirahina Rindrahatsarana pofotokoza za "Kulamulira kwa Akazi, kugwirizana ndi nkhanza ku ma lemurs a ubweya wakumadzulo," Ulaliki Wabwino Kwambiri woperekedwa kwa Jonathan A Musa chifukwa cha chithunzi chake cha "Population Estimates of Diurnal Primates pa. Tiwai Island Wildlife Sanctuary, Sierra Leone. Pantchito yabwino kwambiri pakukulitsa luso la ku Africa pakufufuza ndi kasungidwe kanyama, mphotho zotsatirazi zidaperekedwa:
