I-US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ikhiphe uhlaka lombono webhayoloji ovela kwa-US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) mayelana nezibulala-zinambuzane ezimbili ezisetshenziswa kakhulu - i-atrazine ne-simazine.

Muva nje, i-US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ikhiphe uhlaka lombono webhayoloji ovela ku-US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) mayelana nezibulala-zinambuzane ezimbili ezisetshenziswa kakhulu - i-atrazine ne-simazine. Isikhathi sokuphawula komphakathi sezinsuku ezingama-60 sesiqalisiwe.

Ukukhishwa kwalolu hlaka kumelela isinyathelo esibalulekile se-EPA kanye ne-FWS ekugcwaliseni inqubo yokubonisana esemthethweni ngaphansi koMthetho Wezilwane Ezisengozini. Iziphetho zokuqala zohlaka zikhomba ukuthi, ngemva kokwamukelwa kwezinyathelo ezifanele zokunciphisa, le mithi emibili yokubulala ukhula ayibeki ingozi noma umthelela omubi ezinhlotsheni eziningi zezilwane ezisengozini yokushabalala kanye nezindawo zazo zokuhlala ezibucayi okwanqunywa ukuthi zibe “nemiphumela emibi engaba khona” ekuhlolweni kwebhayoloji kwango-2021.

Ingemuva Lokulawula

NgokoMthetho Wezilwane Ezisengcupheni, i-EPA kufanele iqinisekise ukuthi izenzo zayo (okuhlanganisa nokugunyazwa kokubhaliswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane) ngeke zidale ukulimala noma imiphumela emibi ezinhlotsheni ezisohlwini lukahulumeni ezisengozini noma ezisongelwa kanye nezindawo zazo ezibucayi.

Lapho i-EPA inquma ekuhloleni kwayo kwebhayoloji ukuthi okuthileisibulala-zinambuzane“kungase kuthinte” izinhlobo zezilwane ezisengozini noma ezisengozini esohlwini lukahulumeni wobumbano, kufanele aqale inqubo yokubonisana esemthethweni ne-FWS noma Isevisi Kazwelonke Yezokudoba Zasolwandle (NMFS). Ukuphendula, i-ejensi efanele izokhipha umbono webhayoloji ukuze ekugcineni inqume ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwesibulala-zinambuzane “kuyingozi” yini.

I-glyphosate ne-mesotrione, okuyimithi yokubulala ukhula esetshenziswa kakhulu kwezolimo yase-US, idonse ukunaka okukhulu ohlelweni lokuhlola lwe-ESA. Ngemuva kokuthi i-EPA iqedele ukuhlola kwebhayoloji ngo-2021, yaqala ukubonisana okusemthethweni ne-FWS. Uhlaka olusanda kukhishwa lombono webhayoloji luyingxenye ebalulekile yale nqubo.

Umthelela kumabhizinisi afanelekile

● Umbono wesikhathi esifushane ulungile: Uhlaka luphethe ngokuthi le mikhiqizo yomibili ngeke ibangele “imiphumela emibi noma eyingozi” kuningi lezinhlobo zezilwane, okudambisa ukukhathazeka kwemboni mayelana nokuvinjelwa okungase kube okusabalala kwale mikhiqizo.

● Ukunakekela isikhathi eside kusadingeka: Ukuhlolwa kwezinhlobo ezimbalwa zezilwane kusaqhubeka, futhi imibono yokugcina yezinto eziphilayo ingase idinge izinyathelo ezengeziwe neziqinile zokunciphisa, ezingase zithinte amalebula emikhiqizo nemihlahlandlela yokusetshenziswa. Izinkampani zidinga ukulungiselelwa izinguquko zamalebula ezingaba khona kanye nemikhawulo yokusetshenziswa.

Uhlelo olulandelayo

Ngemva kokuphothulwa kokubonisana nomphakathi, i-EPA izodlulisela imibono eqoqiwe kwa-FWS ukuze isetshenziswe ohlakeni lokugcina. Ngokomyalelo wenkantolo yenhlangano, umbono wokugcina we-FWS webhayoloji uhlelelwe ukuqedwa ngoMashi 31, 2026. Ngemuva kokuthi konke ukubonisana ne-FWS kanye ne-NMFS (umbono wabo wokugcina uhlelelwe ukuqedwa ngo-2030) uphethwa, i-EPA izokwenza isinqumo sokugcina ngokubhaliswa kwe-atrazine ne-simazine. Kunconywa ukuthi amabhizinisi afanele aqaphe ngokucophelela le nqubo ukuze aqinisekise ukuthi amasu awo okuthobela ayahambisana nezidingo zokulawula.
