Amabhubesi ngelinye lamakati asengozini yokuqothulwa. Kusele ama-7500 kuphela, ama-22% angaphansi kuka-2000.
Siphila eplanethi enhle kakhulu, lapho kuhlala khona izigidi zezitshalo nezilwane. Ngokushisa okuphakathi kuka-14ºC, impilo ingaba khona eMhlabeni futhi ithathe izigidigidi zomumo nemibala. Kodwa-ke, abantu abazi ukuthi bazonakekelwa kanjani.
Ubufakazi balokhu akukhona nje kuphela ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu njengamanje, esikusheshisayo ngokwengeziwe njengoba sithatha amahlathi namahlathi ukuwenza amadolobha, kodwa futhi nokuqothulwa okukhulu kwezidalwa eziphilayo. Ngokwesitatimende esikhishwe yiMexico Academy of Sciences futhi sashicilelwa engxenyeni yaseMexico, i-Inform, sibangela ukuqothulwa kwezinhlobo ezingama-72 ngosuku.
Abantu yizidalwa okuthi, ngenxa yobuhlakani bethu obunengqondo, zingenza noma yini esiyifunayo. Kepha ezikhathini eziningi siyakhohlwa ukuthi asisodwa, ukuthi simane nje siyisiqephu esisodwa sephazili esikhulu esiyimpilo eMhlabeni. Eqinisweni, kukhona labo abacabanga ukuthi asisahlali eHolocene, leyo nkathi efudumele eqale ngesikhathi sokugcina seqhwa futhi esivumele ukuthi senze amakoloni zonke izingxenye zomhlaba, kepha kwi-Anthropocene.
Yini i-Anthropocene? Isikhathi esisha sokuma komhlaba lapho abantu sebewushintshile umjikelezo wemvelo woMhlaba. Leli igama elisha, oqokwe iqembu lochwepheshe okwathi, ngezifundo ezahlukahlukene, bathola ukuthi okunyathelwayo komuntu wesimanje kuzohlala unaphakade emhlabeni.
Ibhere elisendaweni emhlophe ingenye yezilwane ezibhekene nokushisa okukhulu komhlaba. Kusele izinkulungwane ezingama-24 kuphela.
Kule nkathi entsha, izilwane yizona ezisengozini kakhulu. Isimo sezulu siyashintsha. Kepha futhi nendawo ehlala kuyo. Kulokhu kufanele futhi sengeze ubungozi bokuzingela nokudoba okunamandla nokungabambeki, kanye nokwethulwa nokuhlaselwa kwezinhlobo ezingafani nezinye ezikhuthazwa ukuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke.
Ukuze, sibhekene ngqo noma ngokungaqondile ngokunyamalala kwezinhlobo zezilwane ezingama-72 nsuku zonke, futhi ezizungeze ama-30.000 minyaka yonke.
