Kutsutsana kwamasamba apadera asayansi

Lingaliro lodzitchinjiriza lithandizira osaka zikho ku South Africa ku Luangwa Valley yotchuka padziko lonse kusaka nyama zosachepera 1250 - mvuu 250 pachaka pazaka zisanu zikubwerazi mpaka 2022.

Malinga ndi a Banda, "chifukwa chodumulira mvuu ndikulamulira mvuu mumtsinje wa Luangwa kuti tisunge malo abwino okhala nyama zina zam'madzi komanso nyama zamtchire." Kuphulika kwa matenda a anthrax, kuphatikiza mvula yochepa, zidathandizanso lingaliro la DNPW kuti asiye.

Asayansi kuphatikizapo omwe akuchokera ku Wildlife Authority yaku Zambia sakugwirizana nazo.

Papepala lomwe lidasindikizidwa mu International Journal of Biodiversity and Conservation mu 2013 lolembedwa ndi Dr Chansa Chomba, omwe adatsogolera dipatimenti ya Research, Planning, Information and Veterinary Services ya ZAWA panthawiyo, adatsimikiza kuti kuweta sikugwira ntchito polamulira anthu mvuu.

"Kuchotsa ntchito kumachotsa amuna ochulukirapo komanso kumasula chuma chotsalira cha akazi omwe atsala, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti kubadwa kwachulukire […] m'malo mopondereza kuchuluka kwa anthu", kafukufuku wasayansi ndikuwunikiridwa ndi anzawo.

Zonena za 'chiopsezo cha anthrax' nazonso sizikupezeka. Magulu oteteza zachilengedwe akuti "pali umboni wochepa wosonyeza kuti kudula kumatha kuyambitsa kachilombo ka anthrax. M'chaka chomwe mvula imagwa modabwitsa komanso zomera zakhala zikuchuluka, palibe umboni wosonyeza kuti gulu la nyama zathanzi lingapewe matenda a anthrax amtsogolo. ”

Kulimbana ndi mgwirizano ndi zokopa alendo

Akuluakulu osaka za ngozi m'derali akuda nkhawa, ponena kuti "otchedwa agaluwo ndiosiyana kwambiri ndi malingaliro onse osaka nyama m'chigwa cha Luangwa." Malinga ndi mgwirizano wa Safari Hunting Concession, okhudzidwa saloledwa mwalamulo kuitanira anthu akunja m'malo awo kukasaka malonda.
