Eyaziwa ngokuthi “igolide eliluhlaza,” uqalo luqashelwa emhlabeni wonke njengendlela eqhubekayo yokulwa nemiphumela emibi yemvelo yokugawulwa kwamahlathi kanye nokukhishwa kwekhabhoni. I-International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation (INBAR) iyaqaphela amandla oqalo futhi ihlose ukukhuthaza nokuthuthukisa ukusetshenziswa kwalo mthombo oguquguqukayo.
I-bamboo ikhula ngokushesha futhi inekhono elinamandla lokumunca i-carbon dioxide, okwenza ibe yindawo ekahle yokunciphisa ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu nokufeza imigomo yentuthuko esimeme. Inhlangano esebenzisana nohulumeni i-International Bamboo and Rattan ikholelwa ukuthi i-bamboo ingahlinzeka ngezixazululo ezinobungani nemvelo emikhakheni ehlukahlukene okuhlanganisa ukwakhiwa, ezolimo, amandla kanye nentuthuko yendlela yokuphila.
Enye yezindawo eziyinhloko okugxilwe kuzo ekukhuthazeni uqalo yimboni yokwakha. Izinto zokwakha zendabuko ezifana nensimbi nokhonkolo zinomthelela omkhulu ekukhishweni kwekhabhoni kanye nokugawulwa kwamahlathi. Kodwa-ke, uqalo luyinsiza elula, eqinile futhi evuselelekayo engathatha indawo yalezi zinto. Luhlanganiswe ngempumelelo emiklamo eminingi yezakhiwo, lukhuthaza imikhuba yokwakha eluhlaza futhi eqhubekayo ngenkathi kunciphisa ukutholakala kwekhabhoni embonini.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uqalo lunamandla amakhulu emkhakheni wezolimo. Ukukhula kwalo okusheshayo kuvumela ukutshalwa kabusha kwamahlathi ngokushesha, kusiza ekulweni nokuguguleka kwenhlabathi nokuvikela ukuhlukahluka kwezinto eziphilayo. Uqalo lunezinhlelo ezahlukene zezolimo njengokwehlukahluka kwezitshalo, izinhlelo zezolimo kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwenhlabathi. I-INBAR ikholelwa ukuthi ukukhuthaza uqalo njengendlela efanelekile kubalimi kungathuthukisa imikhuba yezolimo esimeme futhi kufake isandla ekuthuthukisweni kwezindawo zasemakhaya.
Uma kukhulunywa ngamandla, uqalo lunikeza okunye esikhundleni samafutha emvelo. Lungaguqulwa lube amandla emvelo, uqalo lwemvelo noma amalahle, lunikeze amandla ahlanzekile nasimeme kakhudlwana. Ukukhulisa ulwazi nokusebenzisa izixazululo zamandla ezisekelwe kuqalo kunganciphisa ukuthembela ezinsizeni ezingavuseleleki futhi kusize ukushintshela ekusaseni lamandla aluhlaza nahlanzekile.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uqalo lunamandla amakhulu okuthuthukisa indlela yokuphila, ikakhulukazi emiphakathini yasemakhaya. Imizamo ye-INBAR igxile ekuqeqesheni imiphakathi yendawo ekutshalweni koqalo, amasu okuvuna kanye nokuthuthukiswa komkhiqizo. Ngokuqinisa imboni yoqalo yendawo, le miphakathi ingandisa imali engenayo yayo, idale imisebenzi futhi ithuthukise isimo sayo sezomnotho nezenhlalo.
Ukuze ifeze imigomo yayo, i-INBAR isebenzisana eduze nohulumeni, izikhungo zocwaningo kanye nochwepheshe ukukhuthaza imikhuba yoqalo oluqhubekayo kanye nokwenza kube lula ukushintshana ngolwazi. Le nhlangano iphinde inikeze usizo lobuchwepheshe, ukwakha amandla kanye nokusekela inqubomgomo emazweni ayo angamalungu.
Njengomkhiqizi omkhulu kunabo bonke emhlabeni we-bamboo, i-China idlale indima ebalulekile ekukhuthazeni ukusetshenziswa kwe-bamboo. Njengamanje, i-China inamadolobha amaningi anesihloko se-bamboo, izikhungo zocwaningo kanye namapaki ezimboni. Ihlanganisa ngempumelelo ukusungula izinto ezintsha ze-bamboo emikhakheni eyahlukene futhi iba yisibonelo somhlaba wonke semikhuba ye-bamboo esimeme.
Ukwanda kwe-bamboo akugcini e-Asia. I-Afrika, iLatin America kanye neYurophu nazo ziye zaqaphela amandla alo mthombo oguquguqukayo. Amazwe amaningi ahlanganisa ngenkuthalo u-bamboo ezinqubweni zawo zemvelo nentuthuko, eqaphela igalelo lawo ekufezeni izinhloso ze-United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Njengoba umhlaba ubhekene nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu futhi ufuna ezinye izindlela eziluhlaza, ukukhuthaza uqalo njengendlela eqhubekayo kubaluleke kakhulu kunanini ngaphambili. Imizamo kanye nokusebenzisana kwe-INBAR kunamandla okuguqula imikhakha eyahlukene ngokuhlanganisa uqalo emikhubeni eqhubekayo, ukuvikela imvelo kanye nokufaka isandla enhlalakahleni yemiphakathi emhlabeni jikelele.
