Isingeniso: Ukwehla Kwezingwe
Amahlosi angesinye sezilwane ezinomfanekiso nezibabazekayo emhlabeni wethu, kodwa inani labantu bawo liye lehla ngokushesha eminyakeni yamuva. Ngokwe-World Wildlife Fund (WWF), kunamahlosi asendle angaba ngu-3,900 kuphela asele emhlabeni, ukwehla okushaqisayo uma kuqhathaniswa nezingwe ezilinganiselwa ku-100,000 ezazizulazula emhlabeni eminyakeni eyikhulu nje edlule. Lokhu kuncipha ngokuyinhloko kubangelwa imisebenzi yabantu futhi kuyimbangela yokukhathazeka kwabalondolozi bemvelo kanye nabathandi bezilwane zasendle ngokufanayo.
Ukulahleka Kwendawo yokuhlala: Usongo Olukhulu Kubantu Bamahlosi
Enye yezinsongo ezinkulu ezinhlotsheni eziningi ukulahlekelwa indawo yokuhlala. Njengoba inani labantu liqhubeka likhula, ayanda amahlathi agawulwayo ukuze kuvuleke indawo yezolimo, ingqalasizinda, kanye nokukhula kwamadolobha. Lokhu kucekelwa phansi kwendawo okuhlala kuyo amahlosi akugcini nje ngokunciphisa indawo yawo yokuhlala etholakalayo kodwa futhi kuphazamisa isizinda sezilwane ezizingelayo, okwenza kube nzima kakhulu ngawo ukuthola ukudla. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuhlukana kwezindawo zamahlathi kwenza kube nzima ngamahlosi ukuhambahamba ngokukhululeka, okuholela ekubeni abe wodwa kanye nokuzalanisa izakhi zofuzo. Ukuze kuxazululwe le nkinga, abalondolozi bemvelo basebenzela ukwakha nokugcina izindawo ezivikelekile namaphasishi ukuze amahlosi akwazi ukuhamba futhi achume kuwo.
