WASHINGTON, October 7, 2010 - Lipoti latsopano la USDA Forest Service, Sustaining America's Urban Trees and Forests, limapereka chithunzithunzi cha momwe nkhalango za m'tauni za America zilili panopa zomwe zimakhudza miyoyo ya anthu pafupifupi 80 peresenti ya anthu a ku United States.
“Kwa anthu ambiri a ku America, mapaki akumaloko, mayadi ndi mitengo ya m’misewu ndi nkhalango zokhazo zimene amazidziŵa,” anatero Tom Tidwell, Chief of the US Forest Service. “Anthu a ku America oposa 220 miliyoni amakhala m’mizinda ndi m’matauni ndipo amadalira ubwino wa chilengedwe, chuma ndi chikhalidwe cha anthu operekedwa ndi mitengo ndi nkhalango zimenezi. Lipotili likuwonetsa zovuta zomwe nkhalango zomwe anthu amakumana nazo komanso zomwe anthu amakumana nazo ndipo limapereka zida zotsika mtengo kuti zithandizire kuwongolera bwino nthaka m'tsogolomu. "
Kugawidwa kwa nkhalango za m'tawuni kumasiyanasiyana kuchokera kumudzi kupita kumadera, koma ambiri amagawana phindu lomwelo loperekedwa ndi mitengo ya mumzinda: kupititsa patsogolo madzi abwino, kuchepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu, malo osiyanasiyana a nyama zakutchire komanso kuwonjezeka kwa moyo ndi moyo wabwino kwa anthu okhalamo.
Pamene madera okhala ndi anthu ochuluka akufalikira m’dziko lonselo, kufunikira kwa nkhalangozi ndi phindu lake kudzawonjezereka, monganso mavuto oti azisamalira ndi kuzisamalira. Oyang'anira mizinda ndi mabungwe oyandikana nawo atha kupindula ndi zida zingapo zowongolera zomwe zalembedwa mu lipotilo, monga TreeLink, tsamba lawebusayiti lomwe limapereka chidziwitso chaukadaulo pazachuma zam'midzi yam'tawuni kuti ikhale yothandiza pamavuto omwe mitengo ndi nkhalango zawo zikukumana nawo.
Lipotilo linanenanso kuti mitengo ya m’tauni ikukumana ndi mavuto m’zaka 50 zikubwerazi. Mwachitsanzo zomera ndi tizilombo towononga, moto wolusa, kuwonongeka kwa mpweya ndi kusintha kwa nyengo zonse zidzakhala ndi zotsatira pamtengo wamitengo ya mizinda ku America.
“Nkhalango za m’tauni ndi mbali yofunika kwambiri ya chilengedwe cha anthu, ndipo zili ndi zinthu zambiri zimene zimakhudza kwambiri moyo wa m’tauni,” anatero David Nowak, wofufuza wa ku US Forest Service Northern Research Station. Mitengoyi sikuti imangopereka chithandizo chofunikira komanso imawonjezera mtengo wa katundu ndi phindu la malonda.
Sustaining America's Urban Trees and Forests amapangidwa ndi projekiti ya Forests on the Edge.
Ntchito ya USDA Forest Service ndikulimbikitsa thanzi, mitundu yosiyanasiyana, ndi zokolola za nkhalango ndi udzu wa Nation kuti zikwaniritse zosowa za mibadwo yamakono ndi yamtsogolo. Bungweli limayang'anira maekala 193 miliyoni a malo aboma, limapereka thandizo kwa eni malo a Boma ndi apadera, ndikusunga bungwe lalikulu kwambiri lofufuza zankhalango padziko lonse lapansi.
