Umfanekiso-Miguel A. Jiménez Tenorio
Ingcali yebhayiloji yeCalp UJosabel Benlliure uza kuchitha iKrisimesi ejikelezwe ngama-penguin angaphezulu kwama-40 amawaka avela kwisiQithi seNkohliso, eAntarctica, ngeenjongo ezithile: ukufunda iziphumo zotshintsho lwemozulu kwezi zilwanyana zibalaseleyo, ezisengozini yokunyibilika kunye namaqondo obushushu athanda ukuba phezulu nangaphezulu.
Kwaye iyakwenza ngaphakathi kweprojekthi yePingufor ukuphanda iintlobo ezintathu: IPygoscelis antarctica (chinstrap penguin), Pygoscelis adeliae (adelia) kunye IPygoscelis papua (Papua), njengoko zithathwa "njengabathunywa bempilo" kwendalo abahlala kuyo.
Njengoko iqondo lobushushu eliphakathi le-Antarctica linyuka, kwenzeka utshintsho olukhulu. Okwangoku, abaphandi sele bebufumene ubukho be ukwehla kwe-chinstrap kunye ne-adélie penguin njengesiphumo sokuhla kwenani labadlali beekrill, nokutya kokona kulungileyo koonombombiya.
Kwelinye icala, kwaye ngokufanayo, bakuqinisekisile oko Amakhalane afikile eAntarctica. Ezi zifunxi-gazi zinokudlulisela izifo ezintsha kwaye, ke, zibeke emngciphekweni ubomi bezinye iintlobo.
Abaphandi e »Pingufor» bafunda ngethanga lokuzalisa oonombombiya elenziwe ngamashumi amabini amawaka eembumba ezizalayo. Iingcali ezintathu zebhayoloji eziphethe ukubeka iliso kufuneka zikhethe iindlwane ezingama-20 ukuphawula amantshontsho kwaye, ukongeza, zifaka izinto zokuhambisa kubantu abadala. Ngele ndlela, Banokwazi umgama ohanjiweyo ngabazali abahamba beya kufuna ukutya suku ngalunye.
Uphando luya kuqhubeka ukusuka ngo-Disemba 2017 ukuya nge-Matshi 2018 phakathi kwesiseko seGabriel de Castilla kunye nepenguin koloni, emalunga neeyure ezimbini ukusuka apho. KwiBenlliure, eli liphulo lesihlanu le-Antarctic.
Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, okukhona sisazi ngeziphumo zotshintsho lwemozulu kwiplanethi nakubemi bayo, kokukhona kuya kubakho amathuba amaninzi okuba siziqhelanise nayo.
