Iyini i-bamboo Forestry?

Amahlathi e-bamboo, ake abhekwa ngokuyinhloko njengesitshalo sokuhlobisa noma umsebenzi wezandla, avele njengengxenye eyinhloko emisebenzini yamahlathi esimeme emhlabeni jikelele. Lesi sitshalo esisebenza ngezindlela eziningi, kanye nezinga laso lokukhula ngokushesha kanye nenqwaba yezinhlelo zokusebenza, siyaqashelwa ngamandla aso okunciphisa izinselele zemvelo futhi sikhuthaze ukuthuthukiswa komnotho sibe silondoloza imithombo yemvelo.

Uqalo, olomndeni wotshani, ungesinye sezitshalo ezikhula ngokushesha eMhlabeni, futhi ezinye izinhlobo zikwazi ukukhula zize zibe amasentimitha angama-91 (36 amayintshi) ngosuku olulodwa ngaphansi kwezimo ezikahle. Lokhu kukhula okusheshayo kwenza uqalo lube yinsiza evuselelekayo ngendlela emangalisayo, njengoba lungavunwa ngezinhloso ezehlukene ngaphandle kwesidingo sokutshalwa kabusha. Ngokungafani namahlathi ezingodo ezivamile, lapho izihlahla zithatha khona amashumi eminyaka ukuvuthwa, uqalo lufinyelela ukuvuthwa eminyakeni emithathu kuya kwemihlanu nje kuphela, okulwenza lube inketho ekhangayo ezinhlelweni ezisimeme zamahlathi.

Enye yezinzuzo ezibalulekile zamahlathi e-bamboo ilele ezinzuzweni zawo zemvelo. Amahlathi oqalo adlala indima ebalulekile ekuthathweni kwekhabhoni, amunca inani elikhulu le-carbon dioxide emkhathini futhi akhiphe umoya-mpilo. Ucwaningo selukhombisile ukuthi uqalo lungakwazi ukuthatha ikhabhoni eningi kunezihlahla ezilinganayo, okulwenza lube umsizi obalulekile ekulweni nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, amahlathi e-bamboo akhuthaza ukongiwa kwenhlabathi nokuvikela indawo yamanzi. Izinqubo zezimpande eziminyene zezitshalo zoqalo zisiza ekuvimbeleni ukuguguleka kwenhlabathi, ukuzinzisa nemithambeka, futhi kunciphise ingozi yokudilika kwenhlabathi. Ukwengeza, amahlathi e-bamboo asebenza njengezihlungi zamanzi zemvelo, athuthukisa ikhwalithi yamanzi nokugcina impilo yemvelo yasemanzini.

Ngaphandle kwezinzuzo zayo zemvelo, ihlathi le-bamboo linikeza amathuba amaningi omnotho. Uqalo luyinto eguquguqukayo enemisebenzi eminingi yokuhweba, okuhlanganisa ukwakhiwa, ukukhiqizwa kwefenisha, ukwenza iphepha, izindwangu, kanye nokukhiqizwa kwe-bioenergy. Amandla ayo, ukuguquguquka, kanye nokusimama kwenza u-bamboo ube ngenye indlela ekhangayo ezintweni zendabuko ezimbonini ezihlukahlukene.

Ezifundeni eziningi, izinhlelo zamahlathi e-bamboo zihlinzeka ngamathuba okuziphilisa emiphakathini yasemakhaya futhi zifaka isandla ekulweni nobubha. Ngokutshala nokucubungula uqalo, abalimi nosomabhizinisi bangakwazi ukukhiqiza imali ngenkathi bekhuthaza izindlela ezisimeme zokuphatha umhlaba.

Ohulumeni, izinhlangano zamazwe ngamazwe, namaqembu emvelo baya ngokuya bekubona ukubaluleka kwamahlathi oqalo ekufezeni imigomo yentuthuko esimeme. Imizamo efana ne-International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation (INBAR) ikhuthaza ngenkuthalo ukusetshenziswa okusimeme kwezinsiza ze-bamboo kanye nokusekela ucwaningo, ukwakhiwa kwamandla, nokuthuthukiswa kwenqubomgomo kulo mkhakha.

Njengoba umhlaba ubhekene nezinselelo ezikhulayo zemvelo, amahlathi e-bamboo agqama njengesixazululo esithembisayo sokuthuthukisa ukongiwa kwemvelo, ukuthuthukiswa komnotho, kanye nokuqeda ubumpofu. Ngokusebenzisa amandla e-bamboo njengesisetshenziswa esivuselelekayo, singakha ikusasa eliluhlaza, elisimeme ezizukulwaneni ezizayo.

Sengiphetha, amahlathi e-bamboo amele imodeli efanelekile yokuphathwa komhlaba okusimeme nokuthuthukiswa komnotho. Ukukhula kwayo ngokushesha, izinzuzo zemvelo, nokusebenzisa kwayo ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene kuyenza ibe usizo olubalulekile ekulweni nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu nokugawulwa kwamahlathi. Ngokutshala imali ezinhlelweni zamahlathi e-bamboo, singavula indlela yekusasa elisimeme neliphumelelayo.
