Izindawo ezingamaxhaphozi ziyimvelo egcwele impilo: amakhulu ezilwane nezitshalo zihlala kuzo, ngakho-ke uma kwenzeka uba nethuba lokuzivakashela, kuzoba sengathi ubona isithombe esizophindaphindeka nsuku zonke eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane eziningana edlule, lapho umuntu wayengakathinti kakhulu imvelo njengoba kwenzeka namuhla.
Futhi namhlanje, ngoFebhuwari 2, i- Usuku Lomhlaba Wamaxhaphozi, zalezi zindawo lapho imvelo ingaba khona futhi ikhule ngokukhululeka.
Kusukela nini kugujwa usuku lomhlaba lwamaxhaphozi?
Lolu suku olukhethekile Yaqala ukubungazwa ngoFebhuwari 2, 1977, ekhumbula ukusayinwa kwesiVumelwano Sezindawo ezingamaxhaphozi eRamsar, e-Iran, ngoFebhuwari 2, 1971.
Lo mhlangano uyisivumelwano sokuqala sokongiwa nokusetshenziswa ngokuhlakanipha kwamaxhaphozi. Kuze kube ngo-2013, uhlu lweRamsar lufake izindawo ezingama-2167 eziqokiwe, ezihlanganisa indawo ephelele engamahektare angama-208.518.409 emazweni ayi-168, okuthakazelisa kakhulu.
Kungani amaxhaphozi ebalulekile?
Amaxhaphozi, okuyi-bogs, umhlume, imifula yamakhorali, amaxhaphozi, amaxhaphozi, imifula, ama-deltas, noma izindawo ezisogwini lolwandle yizindawo emhlabeni ezinokuhlukahluka okukhulu kwemvelo.
Uma sikhuluma ngezilwane, sizothola izinhlanzi ezinjenge-eels, i-salmon, oshaka bamanzi angenasawoti, i-trout, izingulube, izingwenya, ama-otter noma ama-flamingo, phakathi kwezinye eziningi.

Zonke, namanzi ezinikeza impilo, zibaluleke kakhulu. Abagcini ngokudla izinyoni ezifudukayo, kodwa futhi ngenxa yazo abantu bangazinikeza amanzi ahlanzekile. Kepha ngaphezu kwalokho, balawula umjikelezo wamanzi nesimo sezulu, ngakho-ke ngaphandle kwazo kungaba nzima kakhulu kithi ukuthola uketshezi oluyigugu kangaka.
Kuzo zonke lezi zizathu, ukuvikela amaxhaphozi kungukhiye ekusindeni komuntu wonke.
