ʻO ka hoʻopau ʻana, ʻaʻohe ʻano holoholona a meakanu paha i noho lōʻihi ma ka honua. Ke make ka holoholona a mea kanu hope o kekahi ʻano, pau ka ʻano holoʻokoʻa. ʻAʻole e ola hou nā mea ola o kēia ʻano ma ka honua. Nui nā ʻano holoholona a me nā mea kanu i pau i ka honua no ka manawa lōʻihi ma mua o ka nalowale ʻana mai ia mea. ʻO kekahi o lākou no nā miliona makahiki.
Ua pau nā dinosaurs ma kahi o 65 miliona mau makahiki i hala. ʻO ia ka nui o nā ʻano holoholona i ka manawa hoʻokahi, ʻo ia hoʻi nā ʻano dinosaur āpau i ola ia manawa. Kapa ʻia ʻo ia he luku nui. Ua make ka Neanderthal i 30,000 makahiki aku nei, he ʻano kanaka kēlā. ʻO ko mākou mau kūpuna, ka ʻano kanaka "Homo Sapiens", i noho i ka manawa like me nā Neanderthal. Akā ʻaʻole i make kēia ʻano kanaka, ʻo ia ke kumu e ola nei mākou i kēia lā.
Pehea e pau ai?
Ke waiho ʻia nā holoholona liʻiliʻi o kekahi ʻano, hoʻoweliweli ʻia kēlā ʻano i ka pau ʻana. Hiki ke hoʻomau i ka noho ʻana inā hoʻomau ka hānau ʻana o nā holoholona o kēia ʻano, ʻo ia hoʻi ka hānau ʻana i nā holoholona ʻōpiopio. ʻO kēia ke ʻano o ka hoʻoili ʻia ʻana o nā genes o kēia ʻano mai nā mākua i kā lākou mau keiki. Inā hoʻokahi wale nō mau ʻano ʻano e pau ana i ka pau ʻana, ʻaʻole paha ia e hānau. Malia paha ua ʻelemakule a maʻi paha nā holoholona, a i ʻole ke noho hoʻokahi a ʻaʻole e hui. Inā make kēia mau holoholona ʻelua, ua pau nā ʻano holoholona. ʻAʻole loa e loaʻa hou nā holoholona o kēia ʻano no ka mea ua make nā holoholona āpau i loaʻa nā genes o kēia ʻano.
Ua like ia me nā ʻano mea kanu. He mau mamo no na mea kanu, ma o na anoano. Aia nā genes o nā ʻano mea kanu i nā hua. Inā ho'ōki kekahi ʻano mea kanu i ka hānau hou ʻana, no ka laʻana, no ka hiki ʻole i nā ʻanoʻano ke ulu hou, e pau ana kēia ʻano mea kanu.
No ke aha e pau ai nā ʻano?
Ke pau kekahi ʻano holoholona a mea kanu paha, hiki ke loaʻa nā kumu like ʻole. Pono kēlā me kēia ʻano i kahi noho kūikawā. He wahi kēia ma ke ʻano i loaʻa nā ʻano kikoʻī i mea nui i ka ʻano. No ka laʻana, pono nā pueo i nā ululāʻau, pono nā ʻele i nā muliwai a me nā loko maʻemaʻe, a pono nā pi i nā māla a me nā māla me nā mea kanu pua. Inā liʻiliʻi a liʻiliʻi kēia wahi noho, a ʻoki ʻia paha e nā alanui, a nalowale kekahi waiwai koʻikoʻi, ʻaʻole hiki ke noho maikaʻi kekahi ʻano ma laila. E liʻiliʻi ka nui o nā holoholona a hiki i ka hopena, make ka mea hope.
ʻO ka haumia o ke kaiapuni a me ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau ke alakaʻi nei i ka pau ʻana o nā ʻano holoholona a me nā ʻano mea kanu no ka mea ʻoi loa ka pōʻino o ko lākou wahi noho ma muli o ka hopena. A ʻo ka hope loa, hoʻoweliweli ʻia nā ʻano holoholona inā e ʻimi nui ʻia lākou. Ma muli o ka hopena nui o ke kanaka i ke ola ma ka honua ma o ka ʻoihana a me ka mahiʻai, ma kahi o hoʻokahi kaukani manawa o ka nui o nā holoholona a me nā mea kanu i pau e like me ka wā ma mua i ka manawa like. Ke pau nā ʻano ʻano he nui i ka manawa pōkole, ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ka pau ʻana o nā ʻano. No kahi o 8,000 mau makahiki aia kekahi au o ka luku nui ʻana. ʻO ke kumu kēia o ke kāne.
He aha ka hana e pale ai i ka pau ʻana o nā ʻano mea?
Aia nā hui honua e hana nei e pale i ke kaiapuni. No ka laʻana, mālama lākou i kahi "Red List of Endangered Species". Aia ma kēia papa inoa nā ʻano i hoʻoweliweli ʻia e pau. A laila ho'āʻo ka poʻe kaiapuni e hoʻopakele i nā ʻano holoholona a me nā mea kanu ma kēia papa inoa mai ka pau ʻana. Hoʻopili pū kēia i ka pale ʻana i nā wahi noho o kēia mau ʻano. No ka laʻana, ma ke kūkulu ʻana i nā tunnels no nā koʻo e kolo ma lalo o ke alanui.
Ho'āʻo pinepine ʻia e mālama i nā holoholona hope loa o kekahi ʻano i loko o nā zoos. Ma ʻaneʻi mālama ʻia nā holoholona a pale ʻia mai nā maʻi. Hoʻohui pū ʻia nā kāne a me nā wahine me ka manaʻolana e loaʻa nā keiki a mālama ʻia ke ʻano.
