Uphando olutsha lulumkisa ukuba iphulo lase-Afrika lokutyala imithi libeka ingozi ephindiweyo njengoko liya konakalisa i-CO2-efunxa ingca yamandulo ngelixa lisilela ukubuyisela ngokupheleleyo amahlathi aphelileyo, i-Financial Times ibika.
Eli nqaku, elipapashwe kwijenali yeSayensi, lijolise kwiprojekthi enye, i-34-Country Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100), icacisa i-FT: yaseYiputa – eAfrika ngo-100…
Phakathi kwabaxhasi beli phulo ngurhulumente waseJamani, iBhanki yehlabathi kunye neWorld Resources Institute.
Nangona kunjalo, ngokolu xwebhu, malunga nesiqingatha seehektare ezimalunga ne-130 lezigidi amazwe ase-Afrika azibophelele ekuzibuyiseleni nge-AFR100 zenzelwe indalo engeyiyo yamahlathi, ingakumbi i-savannah nethafa lengca.
Abaphandi bathi bakwazi ukufumana ubungqina beprojekthi enye kuphela ye-AFR100 - eKenya - enikezelwe ekubuyiselweni kwengca. Ngaphezu kwesiqingatha seshumi elinesibini lamazwe angengomahlathi azibophelele kwi-AFR100, kuquka iChad neNamibia.”
Umbhali okhokelayo uProf Kate Parr uxelele uMgcini-ndawo ukuba “ukubuyiselwa kwenkqubo yendalo kubalulekile kwaye kubalulekile, kodwa kufuneka kwenziwe ngendlela efanele inkqubo nganye.
Iinkqubo ezingezizo ezamahlathi ezinje nge-savannas zichazwa ngendlela engeyiyo njengamahlathi kwaye ke zithathwa njengezifuna ukubuyiselwa ngemithi...
Kukho imfuneko engxamisekileyo yokuhlaziywa kweenkcazelo ukuze ama-savanna angabhideki namahlathi kuba ukwanda kwemithi kusisisongelo kwimfezeko nasekugcinekeni kweesavanna namadlelo engca.”
Imithi inokwenzakalisa ezi nkqubo zezinto eziphilayo ngokuvelisa umthunzi omninzi kakhulu, ibhala yenjenje iNew Scientist: “Oku kunokuthintela izityalo ezincinci ekubeni zikwazi ukwenza iphotosynthesizing, nto leyo enokuba nemiphumo eyingozi kwezinye izinto eziphilayo.”
