Okuningi mayelana nepaki
Ngempela ibambe iqhaza labantu futhi kuzaliswa uphawu lukazwelonke lwezwe - ijuba laseGrenada (Leptotila wellsi). Lena inyoni engavamile kakhulu, ngokuvamile ebizwa ngokuthi "engabonakali", iyinto evamile kuhulumeni. Inombolo yeLeptotila wellsi iyancipha njalo. Ama-ornithologists akhombisa ukuthi inani lejuba laseGrenada lahla kakhulu eGrenada ngo-2004 ngenkathi isiphepho "Ivan". Ngo-2006, izinyoni zafakwa ohlwini lwesigaba se-IUCN Red List.
Yini ethakazelisayo ngejuba leGrenada?
Ijuba leGrenada liyizinyoni ezimbili-ithoni lamamitha angu-30 ubude obude, nesifuba esimhlophe esimhlophe, nombala wekhanda ushintsha kusuka ebomvu elimhlophe emabunzini ukuze ukhanyise isibhakabhaka phezulu kanye nesikhumba. Umlomo wejuba unomnyama, amehlo asemhlophe futhi aphuzi, imilenze ibomvu, umzimba ngokwawo unemibala yeminqumo, futhi izimpaphe zangaphakathi zibomvu, ezibukeka zithakazelisayo ngesikhathi sezindiza. Njengomthetho, abesilisa banombala ovelele kunabesifazane.
Kodwa umbala wejuba awuyona into ethakazelisayo njengokucula kwakhe. I-trill yenyoni isakaze ibanga elingamamitha angamakhulu ayisishiyagalolunye, okwenza "umphumela" okhohlisayo wokuba khona kweNkumba yaseGrenada eduzane. Lokhu umsindo ozwakalayo futhi ozwakalayo kufana nokuthi "hlala" okuqhubekayo futhi uphinda yonke imizuzwana engu-7 kuya kwangu-8. Ngokuvamile iLeptotila wellsi iqala ukucula amahora ambalwa ngaphambi kokushona kwelanga futhi ayiyeki ukudonsa i-trill yakhe ubusuku bonke kuze kube sekuseni.
Amajuba akha izidleke zawo, njengezinyoni zonke, ezihlahleni noma izintende zezandla, kodwa bathanda ukuhambahamba befuna ukudla (ngokuvamile imbewu noma i-papaya) emhlabathini. Amakati asendle, ama-mongoose, ama-opossums namagundane ayingozi enkulu kulezi zinyoni. Amagada aseGrenadine insimu yawo futhi lapho uhlobo oluthile lwezinyoni luhlasela indawo yakhe yokuhlala, abesilisa bavame ukushaya amaphiko esitha, kuyilapho behamba ngenhla phansi bese benza iziqu ezingavamile.
Ukucaciswa kwe-Grenada Reserve Reserve
I-Grenada Dove Reserve itholakala eduze neHalfafax Harbour futhi isebenza njengendawo ephephile yokuhlala kwejuba laseGrenada. Ngeshwa, umbono weLeptotila wellsi awufundanga kangako, ngoba uhlala kuphela esiqhingini saseGrenada . Ezweni elisezingeni likahulumeni, izinhlelo eziningana zenzelwe ukugcina lezi zinhlobo zezinyoni.
Okokuqala, izimbangela zokuqothulwa zaziwa: ukulungiswa kwesiqhingi ngabantu kanye nokunyamalala kwemvelo yemvelo (ukuchithwa kwamahlathi), kanye nezilwane zasendle nazo zisongela lezi zinhlobo zezinyoni. Ngemva kokufunda lesi simo, kwahlelwa uhlelo lokubuyisela lolu hlobo lwezinkukhu. Ukunaka izakhamuzi zendawo kanye nezivakashi zalesi siqhingi kule nkinga, ikhishwe i-jubilee ye-dollar eyi-dollar eyikhulu kanye nemikhiqizo ehlukahlukene efana nesithombe seGrenada.
Ungafika kanjani ku-Grenada Dove Nature Reserve?
Iziqondiso zendawo zinikeza uhambo oluya endaweni yokugcina, lapho izivakashi zithathwa itekisi. Uma unquma ukungena wedwa, kufanele uqashe imoto, ushayela eHortfax Harbour bese ulandela izimpawu.
