Ngo-1970, eqhutshwa ukukhathazeka ngekusasa lethu leplanethi, Usuku Lomhlaba lwasungulwa. Kwakudingeka ukuthi kuhlolwe ukuqonda okukhulayo ukuthi kudingeka siqale ukucabanga ngemiphumela yezenzo zethu. Eminyakeni engu-46 kamuva, sisakhumbula usuku lomhlaba ngo-Ephreli 22, 2016.

Ngesikhathi esizayo engqondweni, iningi lemisebenzi yabo libhekiswe ezinganeni ezidinga ukukhula ukuze zibe yizimemezelo zemvelo okhokho bethu abazithatha kalula. Izingane zizohlanganyela ekutshalweni komuthi, izinga lokulima kanye ne-workshop ye-frame frame. Izingane zingayithokozisa ubuciko bayo emisebenzini yobuciko nezobuciko besebenzisa izinto zokwakha ezenziwe kabusha kuphela, noma sekusondelene nemvelo ngokuhamba ngebhayisikili nokudlala imidlalo yangaphandle. Omunye umcimbi wokutshala umuthi uzokwenzeka ebhishi, lapho abahambi bangatshala khona izihlahla nabasebenzi, bafunde ngokuphila ePunta Cana ngenkathi ngesikhathi esifanayo bethuthukisa imvelo eyodwa.
Le ndawo iningi nemithi yama-mangrove, ama-amphibians wezwe lesitshalo. Muva nje, ama-mangrove asengozini yokuqothulwa ngenxa yokuthuthukiswa kwezindlu, izindawo zokudoba, imigwaqo, amapulazi, njll. I-Paradisus i-Punta Cana inikeza "umsebenzi wokuvuselela impilo" izivakashi zayo lapho zingakwazi khona ukuhamba ngezinhlobo ezihlukahlukene zezinhlobo zemifula. nge. Bangaphinde bavakashele ukushisa kwama-mangrove okwakhiwa ukuze kugcinwe ukuhlukahluka kwezinhlobo zemifino kanye ne-orchids engozini kule ndawo.
Le ndawo yokuvakasha nayo ihileleke ngokujulile ekulondolozeni i-Leatherback Sea Turtle, eyona inkulu kunazo zonke izivunguvungu eziphilayo.
Ama-turtles atholakala kuqala emabhishi e-resort ngo-Ephreli 2015, lapho izikhulu zezokuvakasha zivikela futhi zilondoloza amaqanda ama-tortle ukuze zihlukane ngokuphumelelayo, ekugcineni zinikeze ama-hatchlings angu-70 ukuze alwandle. Babheke phambili esikhathini esizayo se-tortle-nesting season, lapho bezophindaphinda inqubo futhi benze izinyathelo zokulondoloza izinhlobo zezinhlanzi ezisengozini.
Ukusimama kuyinto okumele bonke abahambayo bafune ukuhlala kuzo ngoba kusiza ukukhiqiza imali engenayo emphakathini wendawo ukuze bahlanganyele emizamweni yemvelo. Uma nje ngokuba endaweni futhi uthatha ubuhle bayo, amagugu namasiko, ungasiza ukugcina ama-turtles noma ukulondoloza ama-mangrove noma ukufaka umqondo wemfanelo emantwaneni wakho, kungani ungakhethi uhlaza njalo?
I-Paradis Resorts inomunye ukwakhiwa ePlaya del Carmen, eMexico, okuthiwa yiGreen Leader yi-TripAdvisor maduzane, ekufezeni umklomelo obaluleke kunawo wonke wokusimama, isimo sePlatinum.
Ukuba ngumholi wePlatinum Green kudinga ukuthi ihhotela liphumelele ukufundisa izivakashi mayelana nemikhuba eluhlaza, izinhlelo zokuvuselela kabusha, izinhlelo zokuvuselela ithawula, ukulawula amandla ekamelweni lezivakashi kanye nokuzibophezela okukhulu futhi okuqhubekayo emisebenzini eqhubekayo. Ihotela lihlinzeka ngezigaba zemvelo ezisebhishi ezivakashi, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi zonke izakhamuzi zinomthelela omuhle emvelweni wendawo.
I-Riviera Maya, lapho iParadisus Playa del Carmen ikhona khona, inomunye ukwakhiwa okusimeme, okungenzi inzuzo okuthiwa i-Alltournative. Ngenhlangano, izivakashi zingakwazi ukuhlanganyela ezintweni ezithakazelisayo ezifana ne-zip lining, recelling, canoeing nokubhukuda emahlathini ngenkathi ehlangabezana nobuhle be-Peninsula yaseYucatan. I-Alltournative inikeza nokuvakasha kwamathempeli eCobá lapho izivakashi zingabamba iqhaza emcimbini wendabuko waseMeyi. Zonke izimali zokuvakasha ezikhokhelwa isivakashi zihanjiswe emphakathini ukwakha amaphakheji elanga, isikhungo sezemidlalo yomphakathi, amahektha angeziwe emapulazini ahlalayo asebenzayo endaweni yangakini kanye namagumbi okugeza amancane namakhishi ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi. Faka umbala ohlaza eMexico ngokuhlala okuqhubekayo nemisebenzi eqhubekayo ukusiza abantu bendawo baphile izimpilo eziphilayo ngenkathi uqala ukuzijabulisa.
Elinye ihhotela elingenakuqhathaniswa nendawo i-Naples Grande Beach Resort, esungulwe ngamanzi angu-23, eduze kwesiphephelo esiphezulu sama-acre 200 eFlorida. Bakhele izinhlelo zonyaka ezihambisana ne-eco-friendly ezibandakanya izinhlelo zokuphathwa kwamandla ezifana nokukhanyisa okuphansi kwamanzi nokukhiqiza amandla okwenza amandla, kanye nenqubo yokuvuselela kabusha indawo yokubhuka eye igcine ngaphezulu kwamamitha ayizigidi eziyisithupha zamanzi. Indawo yokuvakasha ivele ngezindlela ezithakazelisayo nezokudala zokuhlala zizinzile, uhlobo oluthola ngalo ukutshela abangane bakho phezu kwefoni mayelana. Bakhele i-boardwalk equkethe kuphela ama-milk jugs avuselelwe, okumele abavakashi bahambe kuwo ukuze bafike ebhishi elithambile lamakhilomitha amathathu.
Izivakashi zingathatha ama-eco-tours futhi zithole izinhlobo zemifula ezinyamalale ezigcinwe yi-resort, futhi zibone izilwane zasendle zasemakhaya kusukela ngoDisemba kuya ku-Ephreli (hhayi isikhathi sezinsuku zokuvakasha kwakho eMhlabeni) ngokusebenzisa i-Conservancy yaseSouth Florida. Abavakashi bangaphinde bahambe nge-kayaking noma ngesikebhe ngasemfuleni wezinhlanzi futhi baphumule ngesibindi sokuthi ubukhona babo buzuzisa izinto kanye nabantu abaseduze. Ukuhlala okusimeme kuyindlela entsha yokuhamba, futhi yisikhathi esisodwa lapho kungabikho muntu ozokwazi ukukujoyina ngokujoyina i-bandwagon.
Ngokusho kwesifundo esisha se-Global Travel Business Association , okuyiqembu labaphathi bezokuhamba kwebhizinisi emhlabeni, iphesenti yezinkampani zokubhuka zokuhamba ezifuna ihhotela ukuba zithole "izinyathelo zokugcina" zenyuke kusuka ku-11% ngo-2011 kuya ku-19% 2015 e-United States.
Indlela kuphela manje idlulela phambili, kodwa ohulumeni nezindawo ezizinzile badinga abathengi abanembeza ukuboleka isandla. Uma uhamba, hlala endaweni ehlala njalo. Lapho uhamba ukubuka indawo, yenza ngezinzuzo ezingenzi inzuzo esifundeni- ungathola izinkambo ezinikezwa izinzuzo ezingenzi-nzuzo ku-Visit.org emazweni angaphezu kuka-30. Uma ungahambi kahle, abazukulu bakho nabazukulu abazukulu bangase bangabi namathuba okuvakashela izindawo ezifanayo obenakho ezinkumbulo eziningi ezinhle kakhulu.
Shintsha umhlaba, inkumbulo eyodwa ejabulisayo, eluhlaza ngesikhathi.
