Uma uye eNairobi futhi unesithakazelo sezilwane zasendle zase-Afrika , uzofuna ukuthola isikhathi sokuvakashela isikhungo sikaGraffe esibizwa ngokuthi yinhloko-dolobha. Eyaziwa ngokusemthethweni njengeSikhwama sase-Afrika se-Wildlife engozini (AFEW), akungabazeki ukuthi isikhungo esisodwa esikuthandayo kakhulu eNairobi. Ngokwemvelo ehlelwe njengendlela yokuzalanisa isirafu esengozini yeRothschild, isikhungo sinikeza izivakashi ithuba lokuvuka eduze nezidalwa ezidumile.
Eyaziwa nangokuthi i-Baringo noma isitholampilo sase-Uganda, isitholampilo sikaRothschild sitholakala kalula kwezinye izifundazwe ngokuthi ayikho uphawu olungaphansi kwamadolo. Ezindaweni zasendle, zitholakala kuphela eKenya nase-Uganda, nezindawo ezinhle kakhulu zokubona okungenzeka kuhlanganise neLake Nakuru National Park noMrchison Falls National Park. Kodwa-ke, ngezinombolo zasendle zisalokhu ziphansi kakhulu, Isikhungo soGirafi sihlala sibheja phambili kakhulu ekuhlanganiseni okude.
Umlando
Isikhungo seTirafa saqala ukuphila ngo-1979, ngenkathi isungulwa njengendlela yokuzalanisa ama-giraffes kaRothschild ngoJock Leslie-Melville, umzukulu waseKenya waseScottish Earl. Ngomkakhe, uBetty, uLeslie-Melville wanquma ukulungisa ukunciphisa kwe-subspecies, eyayiqhutshelwa ekupheleni kokuqedwa ngokulahlekelwa kwendawo entshonalanga yeKenya. Ngo-1979, kwacatshangwa ukuthi kwakunama-giraffes angu-130 kuphela aseRothschild asele esendle.
I-Leslie-Melvilles yaqala uhlelo lokuzalanisa nge-tirafa yesana eyathunjwa, abaye bakhulela ekhaya labo eLongata, indawo yesikhungo samanje. Kule minyaka edlule, isikhungo senze ngokuphindaphindiwe amaphuzu okuzalela ama-giraffes kaRothschild emapaki amaningi kaKenya, kuhlanganise neRuma National Park neLake Nakuru National Park.
Ngemizamo yezinhlelo ezinjengalezi, isitholamasi saseRothschild yasendle sesivele senyukele kubantu abangaba ngu-1 500.
Ngo-1983, uLeslie-Melville wagcwalisa umsebenzi emfundweni yezemvelo kanye nendawo yezihambi, eyayivulelwa umphakathi jikelele okokuqala ngonyaka owalowo nyaka. Ngalesi sinyathelo esisha, abasunguli besikhungo babenethemba lokusabalalisa ukuqwashisa kwezingqinamba ze-subspecies kuzilaleli eziningi kakhulu.
I-Mission & Umbono
Namuhla, isikhungo seGiraffe yinhlangano engeyona inzuzo ngenhloso yombili yokuzalisa imilaya kanye nokugqugquzela imfundo yolondolozo. Ngokuyinhloko, imizamo yezemfundo yesikhungo yenzelwe izingane zesikole zaseKenya, ngombono wokufaka isizukulwane esilandelayo ulwazi nokuhlonipha okudingekayo kubantu nasezilwaneni zasendle ukuze bahlangane ngokuvumelana. Ukuze ukhuthaze abantu bendawo ukuba banesithakazelo kule phrojekthi, isikhungo sinikeza imali enkulu yokungeniswa kwezakhamuzi zaseKenya.
Isikhungo siphinde sisebenzise ama-workshop wezobuciko esikoleni esikoleni, lapho imiphumela iboniswa futhi ithengiswa kubavakashi ezitolo zesipho esiphakathi. Imali yesitolo sesipho, iThey House, kanye nokuthengiswa kwamathikithi konke ukusiza ukukhokhela ukuphuma kwezemvelo ezinganeni ezingaphansi kweNairobi.
Ngale ndlela, ukuvakashela Isikhungo Sokwaba Giraffe akusilo nje usuku olumnandi - futhi kuyindlela yokusiza ukuvikela ikusasa lokulondolozwa eKenya.
Izinto okumelwe zenziwe
Yiqiniso, okuqakathekile kohambo oluya esikhungweni seGiraffe kuhlangene namagirayi ngokwabo. Iphakethe elibheke phambili lokubhekwa kwezilwane ngokwemvelo linikeza umbono ophakeme ohlukile - kanye nethuba lokushaya kanye nokudla ngesandla noma yikuphi amakhrayipu anomuzwa onobungane. Kukhona futhi indawo yokuhlala, lapho ungahlala khona ezinkulumweni mayelana nokulondolozwa kwemithambo yezinkukhu, futhi mayelana nezinhlelo lapho isikhungo sikhona khona manje.
Ngemuva kwalokho, kufanelekile ukuhlola i-Nature Trail Trail, okuyinto edlulisela indlela yayo ngamakhilomitha ama-1.5 / 1 i-kilometer eseduze ne-95 acre wildlife sanctuary. Lapha, ungabona ama-warthogs, i-antelope, izinkawu kanye nokuxhaphazwa okunembile kwezinyoni zezilwane .
Isitolo sesipho siyindawo enhle esitokisini phezulu kwezobuciko ezenziwe endaweni kanye nemisebenzi yezandla; kuyilapho i-Tea House inikeza iziqhumane ezikhanyayo ezibhekene ne-giraffe evulekile.
