Emva kokuba ndibona ezininzi zeendlovu endle, andizange ndiqiniseke ngohambo lwam olucetywayo kwi-Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage eNairobi . Izilwanyana ekuthinjweni, ngokukodwa kumazwe asakhulayo, zinokudakalisa ukuthetha okungenani. Kodwa ndandifunde i-Dbie Dldne Sheldrick yembali - Uthando, Ubomi kunye neendlovu , kwaye ndabona ibali elimangalisayo malunga neNtsana eNational Geographic .
Ndithembele okulungileyo, kwaye inyaniso yayininzi, bhetele ngakumbi. Ukuba uhlala eNairobi , nangenxa yesiqingatha semihla, yenza umzamo wokutyelela le projekthi ephawulekayo. Fumana indlela oya kuyo, xa uhamba, indlela yokufumana indlovu yakho encinane, kunye neenkcukacha ezingezantsi.
Malunga neProjekthi yeNtsapho
Iintsana zendlovu zithembele kuphela kubisi lonina kwiminyaka emibili yokuqala yobomi babo. Ngoko ke xa belahlekelwa ngumama wabo, isithuba sabo sitywinwe. Izindlovu zihlala zikho ezinobungozi kule mihla, abaninzi baxhaswa ngeendlovu zendlovu, kwaye abanye baxabana namafama njengoko amaqela omabini asemzabalazweni ukuze aphile ngonaphakade kwizinto ezikhoyo kunye nehlabathi. UDame Daphne uye wasebenza neendlovu iminyaka engaphezu kwama-50. Ngelilingo kunye nephutha, kunye neentlungu ezininzi zokulahlekelwa yindodana ezininzi zendlovu kwiminyaka yokuqala, ekugqibeleni waqulunqa ifomula yokuphumelela, esekelwe kumntwana wesisu ngokuchasene neenkomo zobisi.
Ngowe-1987, emva kokufa komyeni wakhe othandekayo, uDavid, uDame Daphne waphumelela ekuveliseni ixhoba elinesibini elineminyaka eli-2 ubudala elibizwa ngokuthi "Olmeg", ngubani namhlanje ophakathi kweenkomo zasendle zase-Tsavo. Ukukhusela kunye nezinye iintlekele ezichaphazelekayo zilandelwa kwaye ezinye iinkedama zihlangulwa. Ngo-2012, iindlovu zaseAfrika zengu-140 zandiswe ngempumelelo ngolu hlobo lukaDavid Sheldrick Wildlife Trust olusesikhumbuzweni sikaDavid, bonke bephantsi kolawulo lukaDame Daphne Sheldrick kunye neentombi zakhe uAngel noJill.
Ezinye zezintandane zisenjenjalo, ziyakugula, okanye zibuthathaka xa zifunyanwa kwaye zihlangulwa. Kodwa inombolo ephawulekayo iphila ngokusekelwe kwinkathalo yeenxa zonke ngeqela labagcini abazinikezele.
Xa izindlovu zeenkedama zifikelela kwiminyaka eyi-3 ubudala, kwaye ziyakondla zodwa, zidluliselwa kwiinkedama zaseNairobi ukuya kwi-National Park ye-Tsavo East. Kwi-Tsavo East kuneendawo ezimbini zokubamba zezintandane zangoku. Apha badibana kwaye baxubana neendlovu zasendle ngeendlela zabo, kunye nokutshintshwa ngokukhawuleza kwintlango. Utshintsho lunokuthatha iminyaka elishumi ukuya kwindlovu, akukho namnye kubo okhawuleza.
Iiyure zokutyelela kunye nento enokuyilindela
I-elephant nursery ivulelekile kuluntu ngeyure enye ngosuku, phakathi kwe-11: 00 ukuya ku-12pm. Uhamba ngeziko elincinane uze uye kwindawo evulekile, ngentambo yentambo ejikelezile. Iindlovu ezincinci ziza ziphuma ehlathini ziza kubingelela abagcini babo abemi bekulungele ngeebhotile ezinkulu zebisi. Ngomzuzu olandelayo we-10-15 unokubukela enye encinane ye-slurp kwaye ugqoke ubisi lwabo. Xa siphelile, kukho amanzi okudlala kunye nabagcini ukuba bahlasele baze baxhomeke. Unako ukufikelela kwaye uthinte kunye ne-nuzzle nayiphi na indlovu efika kufuphi neentambo, ngezinye izihlandlo ziya kuguqa phantsi kweentambo kwaye kufuneka zixoshwe ngabagcini.
Ngexa ufika ubabone badlala baze bathathe iifoto, umntwana ngamnye uqaliswa kwi-microphone. Ufumanisa ukuba bebaneminyaka engakanani xa befika kwikhaya lezintandane, apho bahlangulwa khona, kwaye yintoni eyabangela ingxaki. Izizathu eziqhelekileyo zokufumana iinkedama: oomama baxhaswa, bawela emithonjeni, kunye neengxabano zabantu / zasendle.
Emva kokuba omncinci abesondla, abuye abuyele ehlathini, kwaye yinto yokuguquka kweminyaka engama-2-3 ubudala. Abanye babo banokuzondla ngokwabo, kwaye abanye basondliwa ngabagcini babo. Kulungile kakhulu ukubheka ukuba babambe iibhotile zabo zobisi ezinkulu kwiimithi zabo kwaye bavale amehlo abo ngovuyo njengoko benza umsebenzi wokukhawuleza weegoloni ezininzi zobisi. Kwakhona, ukhululekile ukubachaphazela xa beza kusondela kwiindophi (kwaye baya kuthi), kwaye bajonge badibanise nabagcini babo, batyelele kwamanye amagatsha e-acacias abayintandokazi, kwaye badlale neengqungquthela zesiqingatha zamanzi kunye nodaka.
Ufuna Ukufikelela Kuphela?
Ukutyelela ngokukhethekileyo kwintandane, ilandelwe iintsuku ezintathu e-Tsavo East ukuze ubone indlela iindlovu ezingaphaya ngayo, ungathatha ukhuseleko kunye noRobert Carr-Hartley (unyana kaDame Daphne).
Ukufika apho kunye neMali yokufaka
I-Orphanage yeNdlovu iphakathi kweNxweme yeSizwe yeNairobi, efumaneka kwiikhilomitha ezingama-10 ukusuka kwi-city center yaseNairobi. Ngeendlela, qalela ukuthatha imizuzu engama-45 ukuba uhlala kwisixeko sendawo. Imizuzu engama-20 nje okanye xa uhlala eKaren. Kufuneka ube nemoto ukuba ufike apho, umqhubi wetekisi uyazi ukuba isango liza kufikelela kwiiNtsana. Ukuba unokhenketha, buza umqhubi wakho wokutyelela ukuyifaka kwindlela yakho xa useseNairobi. Ezinye izakhiwo ezikufuphi ziquka iMyuziyam yaseKaren Blixen, iZiko leGiraffe kunye nokuthenga kakuhle kwi- Marula Studios (ngakumbi kwiindawo ezikhangele phambili zaseNairobi ).
Imali yokungena i-Ksh 500 kuphela (malunga ne-$ 6). Kukho i-t-shirts kunye neemkhumbuzo ezithengiswayo kwaye ngokwenene unako ukufumana inkedama ngomnyaka kunye, kodwa awuyikunyanzelwa ukuba wenze njalo.
Ukwamukela iNtongomntwana Yonyaka
Kunzima ukuchukumiseka xa ubona izintandane, kwaye ukuzinikezela nokusebenza kanzima kuthatha egameni labagcini ukuba bahlale bevuya kwaye banempilo. Ukuzondla nganye iiyure ezintathu malunga neeholide, ukugcina zifudumele kwaye zidlala nabo, kudinga iinzame ezinkulu kunye nemali. Kuba i $ 50 nje ungayifumana inkedama, kwaye imali iya ngqo kwiprojekthi. Ufumana ukuhlaziywa rhoqo kwiinkedama yakho nge-imeyile, kunye nekopi ye-biografi, isitifiketi sokumkela, umbala wemibala yenkedama, kunye neyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu - ulwazi olwenzileyo. Emva kokuba uthabathe, ungenza idibaniso ukuze ubone umntwana wakho xa elala, ngo-5pm, ngaphandle kwezihlwele zezokhenketho.
IBhaliinga
Ndamkela uBarilinga njengesipho sikaKrisimesi kubantwana bam (bhetele kunotyi!). Wayeyinkwenkwana encinane ngexesha lokundwendwela kwam. Unina wayedutshulwa ngabazingeli kunye nokulimala ngokufa, wayeseneminyaka emibini nje kuphela xa i-rangers imfumana. UBarilinga wayedla ngokukhawuleza esuka ekhayeni lakhe eSamburu (enyakatho yeKenya) waya eNairobi, apho wayevunyelwa yintsapho yakhe entsha yeenkedama kunye nabagcini bakhe.
IiRhino zeNtsapho
Ikhutsana liye lathabatha kwizintandane ze-rhino kwaye zaziphakamisa ngempumelelo. Unokubona enye okanye ezimbini ngexesha lokutyelela, kunye nebhobhokazi enkulu eyimfama. Funda kabanzi malunga neeprojekthi zokulungisa i-rhino ye-rhino ...
