I-Machallina yindawo ephawulekayo e- Ecuador , esekelwe kwidolophu yasePuerto Lopez, entshonalanga yelizwe.
Iyintoni kwimimandla yolondolozo?
I-Machallina ipaki kazwelonke, ehlelwe ngo-1979. Itholakala ngapha kolwandle lwasePacific. Intsimi, ngaphandle kwehlathi elingatyekiyo, iquka iziqithi eziliqela. Inkulu kunazo zonke nguSalango neLa Plata. Igama lesiqithi sokugqibela linikezwa negama lobuncwane, okwakushiywe apha nguFrancis Drake - umqhubi waseNgesi kunye nommeli wecandelo lezithuthi zaseburhulumenteni zesiNgesi.
Kwintsimi yendawo egcinwe kuyo i-museum yaseAgua Blanca. Utshela abavakhenkethi ngelifa lemveli kunye neenkcubeko ze-Ecuador. Apha ungabona iifoto nemidwebo yobomi bezizukulwana ezidlulileyo, imiboniso eyahlukeneyo, kubandakanywa izimbiza kunye neempahla ezenziwe ngodongwe. Ukukopisha inkcubeko yezizukulwana zangaphambili, ngokuzakhelwe ngokukhethekileyo ii-canopies kunye neendawo zokuhlala, apho ama-Ecuadoriya ahlala khona. Kwiindawo ezigcinwe kuyo indawo apho ungasusa khona umhlalaphantsi-yi-gazebo enombono wendawo ejikelezile.
Iiflora kunye nezilwanyana
Intsimi yepaki kazwelonke inkulu ngokwaneleyo kwaye ixabisa malunga ne-750 km ne-sup2. Imimandla eyimimandla eyimimandla imelwe ngamahlathi omile kunye namanzi amanxweme ashushu, uphawu lommandla we-equatorial. Inyama yeMachalleria ibandakanya iintlobo ezimbini zeenkwenkwezi kunye neentlobo ezingama-250 zeentaka. Nantsi enye yeendawo zokuhlala ezimbini ze-albatross ezidumileyo (eyesibili yiiGalapagos Islands).
I-hampback whale ingomnye wabameli abakhulu bezilwanyana zepaki. Uyabona ezi zilwanyana ezilwanyana eziselunxwemeni, e-Machallalia zizathu zazo. Iimbumba ze-humpback zisoloko zithinta ulwandle ngeempazamo zazo ezinamandla, zijikeleza kwaye zijikeleze emhlane. Enye yezinto eziyintandokazi ze-acrobatic eziphakamileyo eziphuma emanzini kunye nesimo esicacileyo somzimba, kunye nokuwa komsindo ngokuphindaphindiweyo kwinqanaba elwandle. Iimpazamo zifudukela kumanxweme ase- Ecuador ukusuka e-Antarctic, idlula iTierra del Fuego, kufuphi nomda weChile nePeru, kwaye iinyanga ezimbalwa (ukususela ngoJuni ukuya ku-Oktobha) zihlala eMachallina. Iimbumba ze-humpback azifani, ngoko ke umsila womsila uhlukile kumntu ngamnye. Ukuba ithenwa inenhlanhla ukutshintshela i-whale entsha (engabhalwanga kwincwadi yokubhalisa), ngoko ungabiza le nguluba igama lakho.
Kwihlathi elomileyo laseMachallina ingqalelo yabakhenkethi ithandwa yintaka encinane kunazo zonke ehlabathini - i-hummingbird estrellita esmeraldena.
Phakathi kwababameli beeflethi ngamanani amaninzi:
- i-pelicus peckly pear;
- i-ceratonia enombombo;
- imithi yentsapho yaseMalvian ebizwa ngokuthi "kapka".
I-Machallina yindawo ekhethekileyo
Ukususela ekuqaleni kwayo, iPaki yeSizwe iye yengozini yazo zonke iintlobo zeengozi:
- ukuchithwa kwamahlathi;
- ukuloba okungagunyaziswanga;
- ukuvala, okuvelisa izihlwele zabavakhenkethi.
Ngokumalunga nale meko, ipaki yaqesha abasebenzi basekuhlaleni ixesha elide. Oku kwakhiwa imisebenzi emitsha kwaye yabeka abantu kwi-Machalilla yobunkokeli.
Ukususela ngo-1990, ipaki iye yaqatshelwa yindawo yoluntu lwamazwe ngamazwe njengendawo ekhethekileyo yokufunda imilambo. Umsebenzi oyintloko oososayensi wawukhuselo lwama-coral reefs.
Ukususela ngo-1991, imibutho efana ne-Nature Conservancy, i-American Agency yoPhuhliso lwamazwe ngamazwe, imibutho yaseLatin America kunye neeCaribbean sele iqalile inkxaso-mali yeePaki zikaZwelonke kwiNkqubo yengozi. Intlangano yabalingani kaMachalilla - Fundacibn Nature - esebenze ngokusebenza kunye noluntu lwasekuhlaleni ukufundisa izendalo, iindlela zokulima.
Nangona kuninzi imizamo kunye neenzame zokukhusela ipaki, kunye nokulungiswa kwemisebenzi eyahlukeneyo ukukhusela uhlobo oluthile, iintlobo ezininzi zezilwanyana zisesekupheleni kokuphela. Ubungozi bokwenyuka kokuphela kwezilwanyana ezinama-albatross - ezinkulu zolwandle ezinemigodi emhlophe, ezinamaphiko ezifikelela kumitha amathathu. Iinkalo zokwabiwa kweentaka ezimangalisayo azikho ezinkulu. Kwaye iMachalilla yindawo yabo yokusabela yokugqibela.
Yintoni e kufuphi nomgcini?
I-Puerto López yidolophana encinci yokuloba kunye nekomkhulu le-reserve lisondele kummandla waseMachallina. Uyaziwayo ngokuba uvela apha:
- Uqala iqela labakhenkethi abafuna ukubona ukudlala kweemvula zamathambo.
- Bahamba ngomkhumbi ukuya kwisiqithi saseLa Plata kunye nabahambahambayo ukubona ihlathi elingaqabileyo elinyukayo, ubone ukutshatyalaliswa kwamagannets ezinqabileyo ezinamabhantshi, ubukele iifrigates.
Indawo engqongileyo ye-Isla de la Plata kunye nemigca yemifula ifanelekile ukuba iqhube imidlalo enjenge-diving ejulile kunye nemaski-amanzi apha acocekileyo. Kubathandi beendawo zokuhamba, kunethuba lokuhamba ngeendlela ezinyathelweyo zesiqithi. Akukude nePuerto Lopez kummandla wonxweme welizwekazi elunxwemeni lweLos Frailes , ukukhanga izihlwele ezinkulu zabantu abahlala kwiindawo zokuhlala.
