Igitekerezo cya Mama Nature: Sitasiyo z'ikirere zifasha mu buhinzi no mu bikorwa byihutirwa

Vuba aha, New Mexico izaba ifite umubare munini wa sitasiyo z’iteganyagihe muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, bitewe n’inkunga ya leta n’iya leta yo kwagura umuyoboro wa sitasiyo z’iteganyagihe zisanzwe muri iyo leta.
Ku itariki ya 30 Kamena 2022, New Mexico yari ifite sitasiyo 97 z’iteganyagihe, 66 muri zo zashyizweho mu cyiciro cya mbere cy’umushinga wo kwagura sitasiyo z’iteganyagihe, watangiye mu mpeshyi ya 2021.
“Iyi sitasiyo y’iteganyagihe ni ingenzi cyane mu bushobozi bwacu bwo gutanga amakuru y’iteganyagihe ku bahinzi, abahanga mu bya siyansi n’abaturage,” ibi byavuzwe na Leslie Edgar, umuyobozi wa sitasiyo y’igerageza ry’ubuhinzi ya NMSU akaba n’umuyobozi wungirije ushinzwe ubushakashatsi muri ACES. “Uku kwagura bizadufasha kunoza uruhare rwacu binyuze muri.”
Uturere tumwe na tumwe n'uturere tw'icyaro twa New Mexico turacyabura ahantu hatanga amakuru ku miterere y'ikirere ku buso n'imiterere y'ubutaka bwo munsi y'ubutaka.
“Amakuru meza ashobora gutuma habaho iteganyagihe ryizewe kurushaho no gufata ibyemezo bihamye mu gihe cy’ibibazo bikomeye by’ikirere,” ibi byavuzwe na David DuBois, umuhanga mu by’ikirere muri New Mexico akaba n’umuyobozi w’ikigo cy’ikirere cya New Mexico. “Aya makuru agaragaza ko, bityo, atuma Ikigo cy’Igihugu gishinzwe ikirere kirushaho kunoza intego yacyo yo gutanga iteganyagihe ryizewe kandi ku gihe n’imiburo yo guhanura ubuzima n’umutungo no guteza imbere ubukungu bw’igihugu.”
Mu gihe cy'inkongi ziherutse, sitasiyo y'iteganyagihe yo mu kigo cy'ubushakashatsi ku mashyamba cya John T. Harrington i Mora, muri New Mexico, yakoreshejwe mu gukurikirana imiterere y'ikirere mu gihe nyacyo. Mu rwego rwo gukurikirana byihutirwa hakiri kare no gukurikirana no kugabanya imihindagurikire y'ikirere.
Brooke Boren, umuyobozi ushinzwe ubutaka n'umutungo muri sitasiyo y'igerageza ry'ubuhinzi ya NMSU, yavuze ko umushinga wo kwagura wavuye ku bufatanye bwateguwe ku bufasha bw'ibiro bya Perezida wa NMSU Dan Arvizu, Ishuri Rikuru rya ACES, Serivisi zo Kugura za NMSU, Ibiro by'Umutungo utimukanwa bya NMSU, Imitungo n'imbaraga z'Ishami rishinzwe Ibikoresho na Serivisi.
NMSU AES yahawe inkunga y’inyongera ya miliyoni 1 y’amadolari y’Amerika mu mwaka w’ingengo y’imari wa 2023 na miliyoni 1.821 z’amadolari y’Amerika mu nkunga y’inyongera yatanzwe rimwe na Senateri wa Amerika Martin Heinrich yafashije kubona icyiciro cya kabiri cy’iyagura rya ZiaMet. Icyiciro cya kabiri cy’iyagura kizongeraho sitasiyo nshya 118, bitume umubare wose wa sitasiyo ugera kuri 215 kugeza ku ya 30 Kamena 2023.
Gukurikirana ikirere ni ingenzi cyane cyane ku rwego rw'ubuhinzi muri iyo leta kuko iyo leta, kimwe n'ahandi ku isi, ihora ihura n'ubushyuhe bukabije n'imihindagurikire y'ikirere ikabije bitewe n'imihindagurikire y'ikirere. Amakuru ku ikirere ni ingenzi kandi ku bashinzwe ubutabazi bw'ibanze, bagomba kwitegura impanuka iyo ari yo yose iterwa n'ikirere kibi nk'imyuzure.
Imiyoboro y’ikirere ishobora kandi kugira uruhare mu gukurikirana no gufata ibyemezo mu gihe kirekire mu bihe by’inkongi z’umuriro.
Kubera ko amakuru yakusanyijwe n'Ikigo gishinzwe ibidukikije ashyirwa ahagaragara ku mugaragaro, harimo n'abashinzwe kuzimya umuriro, bashobora kubona amakuru aboneka mu gihe nyacyo ku munsi inkongi y'umuriro yabereyeho.
Dubois yagize ati: “Urugero, mu gihe cy’inkongi y’umuriro ya Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon, aho twakoreraga ikigo cy’ubushakashatsi ku mashyamba cya JT Forestry Research Center. Harrington muri Morata yatanze amakuru y’ingenzi ku rugero rw’ikime n’ubushyuhe mu gihe cy’inkongi y’umuriro hejuru y’ikibaya.”
