Ukuphinda umise indawo yakho: Iindlela ezi-3 zokubuyisela i-oki kwizixeko zaseCalifornia
nguErica Spotswood
Ngaba ukubuyisela imithi yendalo yomthi wom-oki ezixekweni kunokubangela ukuba abantwana bethu babe nehlathi elihle, elisebenzayo nelihambelana nemozulu? Kwingxelo entsha ekhutshwe “Ukuphinda umise iSilicon Valley: Ukwakha izixeko ezidlamkileyo ngeNdalo', San Francisco Estuary Institute uphonononga lo mbuzo. Ixhaswe ngemali yiNkqubo ye-Ecology kaGoogle, iprojekthi yinxalenye ye Ukuqina kweSilicon Valley, inyathelo lokuphuhlisa isiseko senzululwazi ukukhokela utyalo-mali kwimpilo yengingqi kunye nokomelela.
Ii-oki zomthonyama zinokuba lukhetho oluhle kakhulu kwizitrato, ngasemva kwendlu, kunye nolunye uhlobo lomhlaba. Ifuna amanzi amancinci emva kokusekwa, i-oki inokonga imali ngokunciphisa iimfuno zokunkcenkceshela ngelixa ifuna i-carbon eninzi kuneminye imithi eqhelekileyo yasezidolophini eCalifornia. Imi-oki ikwaludidi olusisiseko, lwenza isiseko sewebhu yokutya entsonkothileyo exhasa olona hlobo lwe-ecosystem olutyebileyo lwendalo yaseCalifornia. Ukudibanisa ubumelwane kunye ne-ikhosistim yengingqi, ukuphinda kufakwe i-oki kunokudala unxibelelwano olunzulu kwindalo kunye novakalelo olukhulu lwendawo phakathi koluntu lwasezidolophini.
The Ukuphinda kufakwe iSilicon Valley Ingxelo iqulathe ubutyebi besikhokelo esikhethekileyo seenkqubo zamahlathi asezidolophini kunye nabanini-mhlaba ukuba baqalise iinkqubo zokuphinda zi-oki. Ukuqalisa, nazi iimbalasane ezimbalwa:
Tyala iintlobo ngeentlobo zemioki yemveli
ICalifornia yindawo enezityalo nezilwanyana ezohlukeneyo, yodwa ehlabathini, kwaye ihlonitshwa ngobuhle bendalo yayo. Ukubandakanya ii-oki zomthonyama kwiinkqubo zamahlathi asezidolophini kunye nokunye ukucwangciswa komhlaba kuya kuzisa ubuhle bemithi ye-oki kwiiyadi zethu ezingemva kunye nezitrato, ziphucula ubume obukhethekileyo bezixeko zaseCalifornia. Ii-oki zomthonyama zinokuncediswa kunye nezinye iintlobo ezikhula kwindawo efanayo yendalo efana ne-manzanita, i-toyon, i-madrone, kunye ne-California buckeye. Ukutyala iintlobo ezininzi kuya kwakha ukomelela kwendalo kunye nokunciphisa umngcipheko wokuqhambuka kwezifo.
Khusela imithi emikhulu
Imithi emikhulu ziindawo zokugcina ikhabhoni kunye nezilwanyana zasendle. Ukugcina ikhabhoni eninzi ngonyaka kunemithi emincinci, kunye nokugcina ikhabhoni esele ihlawulwe kwiminyaka edlulileyo, imithi emikhulu igcina imali yekhabhoni ebhankini. Kodwa ukukhusela imithi emikhulu ekhoyo yinxalenye yepuzzle. Ukugcina imithi emikhulu kwi-landscape kuthetha ukubeka phambili iintlobo zokutyala eziza kuba zikhulu ekuhambeni kwexesha (njenge-oki!), Ukuqinisekisa ukuba isizukulwana esilandelayo semithi yasezidolophini siya kubonelela ngeenzuzo ezifanayo.
Shiya amagqabi
Ukunyamekela imi-oki ngendlela yokunyamekela okuphantsi kuya kunciphisa iindleko zolondolozo nokudala indawo yokuhlala yezilwanyana zasendle. Ukuya kulondolozo oluphantsi, shiya inkunkuma yamagqabi, izigodo ezidiliziweyo, kunye neemistletoes zomelele apho kunokwenzeka, kwaye unciphise ukuthenwa nokulungisa imithi. Inkunkuma yamagqabi inokunciphisa ukukhula kokhula ngokuthe ngqo phantsi kwemithi kwaye ikhulise ukuchuma komhlaba.
Ngaphambi kokufika kwamabhoma, kunye nezixeko, i-oki ecosystems yayiluphawu oluchazayo lwendawo yeSilicon Valley. Uphuhliso oluqhubekayo eSilicon Valley ludala ithuba lokusebenzisa i-oki kwakhona ukubuyisela ezinye zelifa lemveli lendalo. Ukanti la mathuba akhona nakwezinye iindawo. Amahlathi asezidolophini aseCalifornia aya kufuna inguqu kumashumi eminyaka ezayo ukujongana nemingeni yembalela kunye nokutshintsha kwemozulu. Oko kuthetha ukuba ukhetho lwethu lunokunceda ukubumba ukomelela kwamahlathi asezidolophini kumashumi eminyaka ezayo.
Ithetha ntoni ioki kuwe nakuluntu lwakho? Sazise ku-twitter – singathanda ukuva kuwe! Ukubuza imibuzo, sixelele malunga ne-oki kwisixeko sakho, okanye ufumane iingcebiso malunga nokuphinda umise kwindawo ohlala kuyo, qhagamshelana nomkhokheli weprojekthi, u-Erica Spotswood.
