Isevisi Yezilwane Zasendle yaseKenya ikhala i-alamu usongo olusha kumaflamingo ezweni.
ILake Bogoria iyikhaya lengxenye yenani labantu emhlabeni wonke lama-flamingo, elingaba izigidi ezi-3.5 sezizonke. Ama-flamingo akhetha amanzi angashoni, kodwa njengoba ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu kuphazamisa imvelo, amazinga amanzi ayanda esifundeni. Lokhu kuletha uhlobo lwesitshalo oluhlaselayo olubizwa nge-prosopis juliflora shrubs noma mathenge.
Ama-flamingo avaleleka ku-prosopis emila emachibini izinyoni ezazithembele kuwo ukuze zidle. Lapho lezi zinyoni zithinta emanzini ukuze ziyofuna ulwelwe, zibambeka ogibeni lwe-prosopis. Uma sebebanjiwe abakwazi ukudla.
Asikaze sibe nesimo lapho ama-flamingo ebanjwa yilesi sitshalo esihlaselayo, i-prosopis, uJames Kimaru, umphathi omkhulu weKenya Wildlife Service eLake Bogoria National Reserve, etshela i-Associated Press.
Kodwa ukwanda kwamazinga amanzi kudala nezinye izinkinga. Akukhona nje ukungenisa izihambi ezinhlotsheni zezitshalo ezihlaselayo, kodwa akwemukeli ulwelwe oludliwa ama-flamingo. ILake Bogario inwebe ngaphezu kwamakhilomitha-skwele ayi-10 kule minyaka eyishumi edlule ngenxa yezimvula ezinamandla ezingakaze zibonwe ngaphambili. Isibe sikhulu kangangokuthi sedlule indawo yokulawula ye-National Reserve, okwenza izinyoni zibe sengozini yokulimala kubantu ngaphandle kokuvikelwa kwe-Reserve.
Lokhu kusha kithina ngoba futhi sisakubhalisa ukuze sibone ukuthi yini umthelela walokhu kule ndawo, ikakhulukazi e-Bogoria sabala izinyoni ezingama-300 kuya ku-400 ezibanjwe eMathenge ngenkathi sibala ama-flamingo amancane angama-400,000, isazi sezilwane zasendle uPaul. UGacheru utshele i-Associated Press.
Cishe amaphesenti angu-8.8 e-GDP kazwelonke yaseKenya avela kwezokuvakasha ezihlobene ne-flamingo.
Ama-flamingo anikeza umbono omangalisayo, kodwa ngesimo samanje, ubukhona bawo busengozini, uKimaru utshele i-Associated Press.
