Isikhumba se-Corkvs Isikhumba
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi akukho ukuqhathanisa okuqondile okufanele kwenziwe lapha. Ikhwalithi yeIsikhumba se-Corkkuzoncika ekhwalithini yekhoki esetshenzisiwe kanye neyaleyo yendwangu esekelwa ngayo. Isikhumba sivela ezilwaneni eziningi ezahlukene futhi sihluka ngekhwalithi kusukela esikhumbeni esihlanganisiwe, esenziwe ngezingcezu zesikhumba esinamathelisiwe futhi esicindezelwe, futhi ngokuvamile sibizwa ngokuthi 'isikhumba sangempela', kuya esikhumbeni esigcwele okusanhlamvu esisezingeni eliphezulu.
Izimpikiswano zemvelo nezokuziphatha
Kwabaningi, isinqumo sokuthi bazothenga yiniisikhumba sekhorknoma isikhumba, sizokwenziwa ngezizathu zokuziphatha nezemvelo. Ngakho-ke, ake sibheke icala lesikhumba se-cork. I-cork isetshenziswe okungenani iminyaka engu-5,000 futhi amahlathi e-cork asePortugal avikelwe yimithetho yokuqala yemvelo emhlabeni, esukela ku-1209. Ukuvunwa kwe-cork akulimazi izihlahla ezithathwe kuzo, empeleni kuyazuzisa futhi kwandisa isikhathi sazo sokuphila. Akukho mfucuza enobuthi ekhiqizwa ekucutshungulweni kwesikhumba se-cork futhi akukho monakalo wemvelo ohlotshaniswa nokukhiqizwa kwe-cork. Amahlathi e-cork amunca amathani angu-14.7 e-CO2 ngehektha ngalinye futhi ahlinzeka ngendawo yokuhlala yezinkulungwane zezinhlobo zezilwane ezingavamile nezisengozini yokuqothulwa. I-World Wildlife Fund ilinganisela ukuthi amahlathi e-cork asePortugal aqukethe izinga eliphakeme kakhulu lokuhlukahluka kwezitshalo emhlabeni. Esifundeni sase-Alentejo ePortugal izinhlobo zezitshalo ezingu-60 zaqoshwa kumitha-skwele elilodwa nje lehlathi le-cork. Amahektha ayizigidi eziyisikhombisa ehlathi le-cork, azungeze iMedithera, amunca amathani ayizigidi ezingama-20 e-CO2 minyaka yonke. Ukukhiqizwa kwe-cork kunikeza indlela yokuphila yabantu abangaphezu kuka-100,000 nxazonke kweMedithera.
Eminyakeni yamuva nje, imboni yesikhumba ibilokhu igxekwa yizinhlangano ezifana ne-PETA ngenxa yokuphatha kwayo izilwane kanye nomonakalo endaweni ezungezile obangelwa ukukhiqizwa kwesikhumba. Ukukhiqizwa kwesikhumba kudinga ukubulawa kwezilwane, lokho kuyiqiniso elingenakuphikwa, futhi kwabanye lokho kuzosho ukuthi kungumkhiqizo ongamukeleki. Kodwa-ke, uma nje siqhubeka nokusebenzisa izilwane ekukhiqizeni ubisi nenyama kuzoba nezikhumba zezilwane okufanele zilahlwe. Okwamanje kunezinkomo zobisi ezingaba yizigidi ezingu-270 emhlabeni, uma izikhumba zalezi zilwane zingasetshenziselwa isikhumba bezizodinga ukulahla ngenye indlela, okuzobeka engcupheni umonakalo omkhulu endaweni ezungezile. Abalimi abampofu ezweni elingaphandle bathembele ekukwazini ukuthengisa izikhumba zezilwane zabo ukuze bagcwalise isitoko sabo sobisi. Icala lokuthi ukukhiqizwa kwesikhumba okunye kulimaza indawo ezungezile alinakuphikiswa. Ukushiswa kwe-chrome okusebenzisa amakhemikhali anobuthi kuyindlela esheshayo neshibhile yokukhiqiza isikhumba, kodwa le nqubo ilimaza kakhulu indawo ezungezile futhi ibeka impilo yabasebenzi engozini. Inqubo ephephile kakhulu futhi enobungane nemvelo ukushiswa kwemifino, indlela yendabuko yokushiswa kwesikhumba esebenzisa amagxolo esihlahla. Lena indlela ehamba kancane futhi ebiza kakhulu yokushunqa isikhumba, kodwa ayibeki abasebenzi engozini, futhi ayilimazi imvelo.
