Iikota ezintathu zemo engqongileyo esekwe emhlabeni kwaye malunga ne-66% yendawo engqongileyo yaselwandle iye yatshintshwa kakhulu zizenzo zabantu. NgoSuku lwaMazwe ngaMazwe lweBiological Diversity, uNobhala Jikelele we-UN ukhuthaze ukuba kupheliswe 'imfazwe engenangqiqo netshabalalisayo ngokuchasene nendalo'.
“Iintlobo ngeentlobo zezinto eziphilayo zibalulekile ekuphumezeni oku Iinjongo zoPhuhliso oluPhuhliso, ukuphelisa isoyikiso esikhoyo sokutshintsha kwemozulu, ukumisa ukuthotywa komhlaba, ukwakha ukhuseleko lokutya kunye nokuxhasa inkqubela phambili kwimpilo yabantu", utshilo u-António Guterres kwingxelo.
Umphathi we-UN ugxininise ukuba i-biodiversity inikezela izisombululo zokukhula okuluhlaza kunye nokubandakanya kwaye, kulo nyaka, oorhulumente baya kudibana ukuze bavumelane ngesakhelo sezinto eziphilayo zehlabathi kunye neethagethi ezicacileyo nezinokulinganiswa ukubeka iplanethi kwindlela yokubuyisela ngo-2030.
“Inkqubo-sikhokelo kufuneka ijongane nezinto ezibangela ilahleko yeentlobo-ntlobo zezityalo nezilwanyana eziphilayo kwaye yenze ukuba kubekho utshintsho olunebhongo noguquko olufunekayo ukuze kuphile ngokuvisisana nendalo ngokukhusela ngokufanelekileyo umhlaba omninzi wehlabathi, amanzi ahlaziyekileyo neelwandle, ukukhuthaza ukusetyenziswa ngokuzinzileyo kunye nemveliso, ukusebenzisa izisombululo ezisekelwe kwindalo ukujongana. utshintsho lwemozulu kunye nokuphelisa iinkxaso-mali ezonakalisa imo engqongileyo”, ubalule.
Ukuphila ngokuvisisana nendalo
UGuterres wongeze ukuba isivumelwano sehlabathi kufuneka sihlanganise amanyathelo kunye nemithombo yezemali ukuqhuba utyalo-mali oluqinisekileyo lwendalo, ukuqinisekisa ukuba sonke siyazuza kwizahlulo zokwahluka kwezinto eziphilayo.
“Njengoko siphumeza ezi njongo kwaye siphumeza uMbono ka-2050 “wokuphila ngokuvisisana nendalo”, kufuneka sisebenze ngentlonipho yolingano kunye namalungelo oluntu, ingakumbi ngokubhekisele kuninzi lwabantu bomthonyama abanemimandla enokwahlukana kwebhayoloji eninzi kangaka”, wagxininisa.
Inkosi ye-UN yathi ukusindisa ubutyebi bendalo obuyimfuneko kunye nobuthathaka beplanethi yethu, wonke umntu kufuneka abandakanyeke, kubandakanya ulutsha kunye nabantu abasesichengeni abaxhomekeke kakhulu kwindalo ukuze baziphilise.
“Namhlanje, ndihlaba ikhwelo kubo bonke ukuba benze ikamva ekwabelwana ngalo kubo bonke ubomi”, uqukumbele watsho.
Ukwakha ikamva ekwabelwana ngalo kubo bonke ubomi yingqwalasela yalo nyaka kanye yoSuku lweHlabathi, ngokuhambelana ne Ishumi leminyaka leZizwe eziManyeneyo ekuBuyiselweni.
Kutheni i-biodiversity ibalulekile?
Imithombo yebhayoloji eyantlukwano ziintsika esakhela phezu kwazo impucuko.
Iintlanzi zibonelela ngeepesenti ezingama-20 zeprotheyini yezilwanyana malunga nabantu abazibhiliyoni ezi-3; izityalo zibonelela ngaphezu kwama-80 epesenti yokutya komntu; kwaye kangange 80 pesenti yabantu abahlala emaphandleni kumazwe asaphuhlayo baxhomekeke kumayeza esintu asekwe kwizityalo kukhathalelo lwempilo olusisiseko.
Ukanti, malunga nesigidi seentlobo zezilwanyana nezityalo ngoku zisengozini yokuphela.
Ukulahleka kweentlobo ngeentlobo zezinto eziphilayo kusongela sonke, kuquka impilo yethu. Kungqiniwe ukuba ilahleko yeentlobo ngeentlobo zezinto eziphilayo inokwandisa i-zoonoses-izifo ezisuka kwizilwanyana ziye ebantwini- ngelixa, kwelinye icala, ukuba sigcina i-biodiversity ilungile, ibonelela ngezixhobo ezibalaseleyo zokulwa nobhubhane olufana nezo zibangelwa yi-coronavirus.
Ukuba imikhwa engalunganga ekhoyo ngoku kwintlobo-ntlobo zezityalo nezilwanyana eziphilayo kunye ne-ikhosistim ayilungiswa ngokukhawuleza, iya kujongela phantsi inkqubela phambili efikelela kuma-80% ekujoliswe kuko okuvavanyiweyo kwiiNjongo ezisi-8 zoPhuhliso oluZinzileyo.
