Uphando olutsha oluxhaswa ngemali yi-American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ka-2009 luya kunceda abacwangcisi beedolophu benze izigqibo ezingcono malunga nemithi yabo yasezidolophini kwiintlobo ezininzi zeenzuzo, kubandakanywa ukonga amandla kunye nokufikelela okuphuculweyo kwindalo.
Abaphandi, abakhokelwa yi-US Forest Service izazinzulu, baya kuqesha abasebenzi basendle ukuba baqokelele ulwazi malunga nemeko yamahlathi avela kwiindawo ezimalunga ne-1,000 kwiindawo ezintlanu zasentshona - Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon kunye neWashington - ukuqokelela idatha yophando oluthelekisayo kwimpilo yemithi kwiindawo zasezidolophini. Isiphumo siya kuba lunxibelelwano lweendawo ezihlala ngokusisigxina kwiindawo ezisezidolophini ezinokujongwa ukuze zifumane ulwazi ngempilo yazo kunye nokomelela.
"Le projekthi iza kunceda abacwangcisi besixeko baphucule umgangatho wobomi kwizixeko zaseMelika," utshilo umkhokeli weprojekthi uJohn Mills weZiko leZiko loPhando kwiZiko loPhando lweZibonelelo kunye neNkqubo yoVavanyo. "Imithi yasezidolophini yeyona mithi isebenzayo eMelika - ihombisa indawo esihlala kuyo kwaye inciphisa ungcoliseko."
Esi sisihlandlo sokuqala kwiPasifiki kusithiwa kuqokelelwa inkcazelo ecwangcisiweyo ngempilo yemithi kwimimandla yasezidolophini. Ukumisela impilo ekhoyo ngoku kunye nobungakanani bamahlathi athile asezidolophini kuya kunceda abaphathi bamahlathi baqonde ngcono ukuba amahlathi asezidolophini aziqhelanisa njani nokutshintsha kwemozulu kunye neminye imiba. Imithi yasezidolophini ipholisa izixeko, yonga umbane, iphucula umgangatho womoya, yomeleza uqoqosho lwasekuhlaleni, inciphisa ukuqukuqela kwamanzi eziphango kwaye ivuselele iindawo ezihlala abantu.
Uphononongo luxhasa uMongameli Obama Inyathelo elikhulu laseMelika langaphandle (AGO) ngokunceda abacwangcisi bagqibe apho banokumisela khona iipaki zasezidolophini kunye neendawo eziluhlaza kunye nendlela yokuzigcina. I-AGO ithatha njengesiseko sayo sokuba ukhuseleko lwelifa lethu lendalo yinjongo ekwabelwana ngayo ngabo bonke abantu baseMelika. Iipaki kunye neendawo eziluhlaza ziphucula uqoqosho loluntu, impilo, umgangatho wobomi kunye nomanyano lwentlalo. Kwizixeko kunye needolophu kwilizwe liphela, iipaki zinokwenza iidola zokhenketho nezolonwabo kwaye ziphucule utyalo-mali kunye nohlaziyo. Ixesha elichithwa kwindalo likwaphucula impilo-ntle yeemvakalelo neyomzimba yabantwana nabantu abadala ngokufanayo.
Amahlathi asezidolophini aya kutshintsha njengoko utshintsho lwemozulu - utshintsho ekubunjweni kweentlobo, amazinga okukhula, ukufa kunye nokuchaphazeleka kwizinambuzane zonke zinokwenzeka. Ukuba nesiseko seemeko zamahlathi asezidolophini kuya kunceda abaphathi bemithombo yengingqi kunye nabacwangcisi baqonde kwaye bachaze iminikelo eyenziwa ngamahlathi asezidolophini, njengokuthatyathwa kwekhabhoni, ukugcinwa kwamanzi, ukonga amandla kunye nomgangatho wobomi kubahlali. Ngexesha elide, ukubeka iliso kuya kunceda ukufumanisa ukuba kwaye amahlathi asezidolophini aziqhelanisa njani na neemeko eziguqukayo, kwaye anokunika ukukhanya okuthile kunciphiso olunokubakho.
Le projekthi iqhutyelwa ngokubambisana ne-Oregon Department of Forestry, iYunivesithi yaseCalifornia Polytechnic State, iSebe laseCalifornia lezaMahlathi kunye noKhuseleko loMlilo, iSebe lezeNdalo zaseWashington, iSebe lezeNdalo ze-Alaska kunye neBhunga lezamahlathi e-Hawaii Urban.
Umsebenzi wofakelo lweploti yokuqala uya kuqhubeka ngo-2013, kunye nesixa esikhulu sokuqokelelwa kwedatha okucwangcisiweyo ngo-2012.
Injongo yeNkonzo yeHlathi yase-US kukugcina impilo, iyantlukwano, kunye nemveliso yamahlathi esizwe kunye namadlelo engca ukuze kuhlangatyezwane neemfuno zesizukulwana sangoku nesexesha elizayo. Njengenxalenye yeSebe lezoLimo lase-US, i-arhente ilawula i-193 yezigidi zeehektare zomhlaba karhulumente, ibonelela ngoncedo kubanini-mhlaba baseburhulumenteni nababucala, kwaye igcina umbutho omkhulu wophando lwamahlathi emhlabeni.
