Ua hoʻopau mua nā pōpoki puaʻa i kekahi mau ʻano holoholona ma ka ʻāina ʻulaʻula a hoʻoweliweli hou aku ma mua o 100. I loko o kahi hōʻike hou, ke hāpai nei ke kōmike aupuni i nā hoʻonā ʻana i ka pilikia popoki hele hewa nui ma Australia.
Wombats, koalas, platypus - Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Australia no kāna mau holoholona ʻokoʻa. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, he ʻano invasive nā pōpoki ma ka ʻāina ʻulaʻula i hele mai i ka ʻāina i ka kenekulia 18 me nā colonists mua o ʻEulopa. He holoholona kaulana ka pipi mai ia manawa mai.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka maʻamau o nā pōpoki ma ka nahele ma mua o nā hale - me nā hopena pōʻino no ka biodiversity. ʻOiai ma kahi o 15.7 miliona mau pōpoki hale a me ʻelua miliona mau pōpoki feral e noho ana ma Kelemānia, aia ma kahi o 3.8 miliona mau pōpoki home ma Australia, e like me nā kuhi, ma waena o 2.8 a me 5.6 miliona mau pōpoki hele.
Akā, no ka mea, he ʻano holoholona ʻōpio ʻōpio nā pōpoki ma Australia, ʻaʻole hiki i nā holoholona ʻē aʻe ke hoʻololi i ka poʻe hahai holoholona velvet-pawed a he mea maʻalahi lākou i pio. ʻO ka hopena: mai ka hōʻea ʻana mai o ka poʻe ʻEulopa i Australia, ua ʻōlelo ʻia nā pōpoki i ka hoʻopau ʻia ʻana o nā ʻano holoholona endemic 22. A hooweliweli aku lakou ma mua o 100.
Pepehi nā pōpoki hele ma Australia i 1.4 biliona holoholona i kēlā me kēia makahiki
Manaʻo ka poʻe loea e pepehi nā pōpoki ma Australia a ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi miliona manu maoli a me 1.7 miliona mau mea kolo - i kēlā me kēia lā. ʻO nā hōʻike, ma waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe, "CNN". Ua ʻike pū ʻia kekahi hōʻike aupuni hou e pepehi ana kēlā me kēia pōpoki hele wale ma Australia i 390 mammals, 225 reptile, a me 130 manu i ka makahiki. I ka makahiki hoʻokahi, loaʻa i nā pōpoki hihiu he 1.4 biliona holoholona ma ko lākou lunamanaʻo.
He mea pōʻino loa ka huhū o nā kitties no ka mea aia wale nō ka nui o nā kānaka o ka holoholona hihiu o Australia. Ma kahi o 80 pakeneka o nā mammals a me 45 pakeneka o nā ʻano manu ma Australia ʻaʻole i loaʻa i ka nahele ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka honua.
"He ʻokoʻa a kū hoʻokahi ka mea olaola o Australia, i hana ʻia i loko o nā miliona mau makahiki o ka noho kaʻawale ʻana," wahi a John Woinarski ka mea ola ola mālama mālama i ka "Smithonian Magazine". "Ua hoʻemi ʻia ka nui o nā ʻano mammals i ola i kahi hapa o ko lākou ʻokoʻa mua a me ka nui o ka heluna kanaka i kēia manawa a hoʻomau i ka emi ʻana. Inā mālama ʻole ʻia nā pōpoki, e hoʻomau lākou i ka ʻai ʻana i ko lākou ala ma ka hapa nui o nā holoholona o Australia. ”
Ua ʻae ʻia ka pepehi ʻia ʻana o nā popoki hele ma Australia
Ua hana mua ke aupuni o Australia i nā hana koʻikoʻi i ka wā ma mua e hoʻoponopono i ka pilikia o ka pōpoki hele. I Kelemānia, no ka laʻana, ke nānā nui nei nā mea hana pono holoholona a me nā kaona i ka paʻi ʻana a me ka neutering strays e pale i ko lākou hoʻolaha hou ʻana - ʻo ke aupuni Australia, ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, ua haʻi aku i nā pōpoki pōpoki i ka makahiki 2015 a ua ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻelua miliona mau pōpoki hewa i pepehi ʻia e. pana i nā holoholona i ka makahiki 2020, nā pahele a i ʻole nā mea ʻona.
No ka mea, ʻo ka make ʻana me ka maunu ʻawaʻawa a me ka pana ʻana he make lōʻihi a ʻeha hoʻi no nā pōpoki hele hewa ma Australia, ua hoʻohewa pinepine ka poʻe hana pono holoholona i kēia ala. ʻAʻole noʻonoʻo ka poʻe mālama holoholona hihiu i ka pepehi ʻana i nā kitties i mea hana kūpono e pale ai i nā ʻano holoholona i make.
Pono e hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia nā popoki ʻāina, hoʻopaʻa ʻia a mālama ʻia i loko o ka pō
Ua nānā ʻia kahi hōʻike i paʻi ʻia ma Pepeluali i ka nīnau e pili ana i ka pilikia o ka pōpoki alanui i kēia mua aku. I loko o ia mea, ua ʻōlelo ke komisina kuleana i ʻekolu mau ʻanuʻu no ka hana ʻana i nā pōpoki home:
- Koina kakau;
- ʻO ke kuleana castration;
- Ka pō pōkiʻi.
ʻAʻole lawa ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hope no ka poʻe mālama mālama ʻano - no ka mea, ʻo ka curfew pō no nā pōpoki home e pale wale i nā holoholona pō. ʻAʻole pōmaikaʻi nā manu a me nā mea kolo, ka mea e neʻe nui ana i ka lā, akā naʻe.
Nā ʻĀpana ʻAʻohe pōpoki ma ke ʻano he "Arks" no nā ʻano holoholona i pau
ʻO kekahi hopena o ka hōʻike i kapa ʻia ʻo "Project Noah". ʻO ka pahuhopu ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka helu a me ka nui o nā wahi i mālama ʻia ai nā ʻano mea pōʻino mai nā pōpoki hele hewa e nā pā kiʻekiʻe. Eia naʻe, kānalua kekahi mau mea mālama holoholona a me nā ʻano mea i ka maikaʻi o kēia ana. No ka mea, ʻo ka hapa o kēia mau wahi mālama paʻa he liʻiliʻi wale nō ma mua o hoʻokahi pākēneka o ka huina o Australia.
Hiki i nā pōpoki hele a me nā ʻano ʻano ʻōiwi ke noho pū?
No laila ke hele nei ʻo Biologist Katherine Moseby i kahi ala ʻē aʻe i kāna wahi mālama Arid Recovery, ma kahi o 560 mau kilomita ma ka ʻākau o Adelaide. Ua mālama ʻo ia i nā pōpoki hele ʻole mai ko lākou mau wahi i pale ʻia a me nā paka aupuni no nā makahiki, haʻi ʻo ia iā Yale e360.
I kēia manawa naʻe, ke kau nei ʻo ia i nā pōpoki ma nā wahi pale. ʻO kāna ala hou: ʻAʻole lawa i nā kānaka ke pale aku i nā holoholona mai ka loli. Pono nā kānaka e komo e kōkua i ka hoʻololi ʻana o nā ʻano.
"No ka manawa lōʻihi, ʻo ka manaʻo nui i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā ala e maʻalahi ai ka pepehi ʻana i nā pōpoki. A hoʻomaka mākou e lawe i ka hiʻohiʻona o ka mea pio, e noʻonoʻo ana pehea e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ka mea pio. E kōkua paha kēlā? No ka mea i ka hopena, hoʻāʻo mākou e hoʻokō i ka noho pū ʻana. ʻAʻole loa mākou e hoʻopau i nā pōpoki a pau ma Australia. ”
Ua hōʻike mua ʻia nā hoʻokolohua mua me ka ihu rabbit-nosed a me nā kangaroo pulupulu he ʻoi aku ka nui o ke ola o nā holoholona i loaʻa i nā pōpoki hele a hoʻololi i kā lākou ʻano i hiki ʻole ke lilo i mea pio.
He paʻakikī ka wehewehe ʻana i nā hopena o nā ʻike. Akā hāʻawi lākou i kahi manaolana liʻiliʻi e hiki i nā ʻano holoholona ke hoʻololi i nā mea ʻaihue i hoʻokomo ʻia.
"Haʻi mau ka poʻe iaʻu, 'Hiki i hoʻokahi haneli mau makahiki." A laila ʻōlelo wau, 'ʻAe, hiki ke lawe i hoʻokahi haneli mau makahiki. He aha kāu e hana nei? ʻAʻole paha wau e ola e ʻike noʻu iho, akā ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo ʻaʻole pono ia."
