Umfanekiso - iSvalbardi
Into enokubonakala ngathi yinto ehlekisayo xa ungathandeki yinyani abaninzi abangayithandiyo, hayi ilize, Umkhenkce wase-Arctic awukho kwinqanaba labo ngenxa yokufudumala kwehlabathi. Kodwa oko kubonakala ngathi akubalulekanga kuJamal Qureshi, ingcali yezemali yaseWall Street.
Le ndoda, kutyelelo lwayo kwiziqithi zeSvalbard (eNorway), yeza nomkhenkce kwikhaya lomkhenkce, apho umfazi wayo wenza iti ngala manzi. Bayithandile incasa kakhulu kangangokuba baqalisile ukuxhaphaza ii-icebergs zeli chwebakazi ukwenza ishishini labo: Amanzi asebhotileni eArctic.
Ukuba sicinga ukuba ukunyibilika komkhenkce yenye yeengxaki ezinkulu esijamelana nazo, singacinga ukuba ukuthatha umkhenkce kwi-Arctic uyinyibilike kuya kuyenza mandundu imeko. Kodwa kule nkampani isekwe nguQureshi, ISvalbardi, uneempendulo ezimbini. Eyokuqala yile Ipesenti yeendleko zebhotile, ezixabisa i-euro ezingama-94, zinikelwe kwi-Global Seed Vault, eliliziko eligcina imbewu yeentlobo ngeentlobo zeentlobo ukuphepha ukuphela kwazo; kwaye eyesibini yile Iqinisekisiwe njengenkampani engenakhabhoni, kwaye basebenzisa kuphela icebergs eziye zavalelwa kwaye ezidadayo elwandle.
Into exhalabisayo ngeli tyala kukuba, ngokukaQureshi, basebenzisa icebergs ezadalwa kwiminyaka engamawaka amane eyadlulayo ukusuka kwikhephu kwaye ukungcoliseka akukwazanga ukubanxilisa, kodwa alukhankanyi naluphi na uphando lwenzululwazi sekela amazwi akho.

Inkampani iceba ukuthengisa phakathi kweebhotile ezingama-25 ukuya kuma-35 zamawaka ngonyaka, ezenziwe malunga neetoni ezingama-30 zomkhenkce, into eyenzelwe uPeter Gleick, umongameli wePacific Institute, Kwixesha elide ayizukuzinza njengoko inokukhawulezisa ukunyibilika.
