Washington - I-Arhente yoKhuseleko lweNdalo yoLawulo lukaTrump ithathela ingqalelo “ngokungxamisekileyo” imvume yesibulali-zinambuzane esibulala iinyosi ukuze sisetyenziswe kwimithi yeziqhamo engaphezulu kwama-57,000, kuquka iiapile, eMaryland, eVirginia nasePennsylvania., Iipesika kunye ne-nectarines.
Ukuba ivunyiwe, oku kuya kuba ngunyaka we-10 olandelelanayo ukuba i-Maryland, iVirginia, kunye ne-Pennsylvania inike ukuxolelwa kwe-dinotefuran ngokungxamisekileyo ukujolisa iibhugi ezinomdaka kwiinyosi kunye nemithi yeziqhamo zamatye, enomtsalane kakhulu kwiinyosi.Amazwe afuna ukuvunywa kwangaphambili malunga nokutshiza okunokwenzeka phakathi kwe-15 kaMeyi kunye ne-15 kaOkthobha.
Kule minyaka isithoba idlulileyo, iDelaware, iNew Jersey, iNorth Carolina kunye neWest Virginia zifumene imvume efanayo, kodwa akwaziwa nokuba sele beyifuna na imvume ka-2020.
"Eyona nto ingxamisekileyo apha kukuba i-EPA ihlala isebenzisa iinkqubo zasemva ukuze ivume izibulali-zinambuzane ezinetyhefu kakhulu kwiinyosi," watsho uNathan Downley, isazinzulu esiphezulu kwiZiko lezinto eziphilayo."Kunyaka ophelileyo kuphela, i-EPA yasebenzisa le nkqubo yokukhululwa ukuphepha ukuphononongwa kokhuseleko oluqhelekileyo kwaye yavuma ukusetyenziswa kwe-neonicotinoids ezininzi ezibulala iinyosi malunga neehektare ze-400,000 zezityalo.Ukukhululwa kokusetyenziswa kakubi kwinkqubo.Le nkqubo mayiyeke.”
Ukongeza kwiimvume ezingxamisekileyo ze-dinotefuran ze-apula, i-peach, kunye ne-nectarine imithi, i-Maryland, i-Virginia, ne-Pennsylvania nazo zifumene imvume engxamisekileyo kwiminyaka elithoba edlulileyo ukusebenzisa i-bifenthrin (i-pyrethroid enetyhefu) kumthi ofanayo.Ester insecticides) zilwa nezinambuzane ezifanayo.
“Kwiminyaka elishumi emva koko, kukhuselekile ukuthi kwa esi sitshabalalisi kwakuloo mthi ayiseyongxamiseko,” utshilo uTangli."Nangona i-EPA ithi ifuna ukukhusela i-pollinators, inyani kukuba i-arhente iyayikhawulezisa imisebenzi yayo yokuvota."
I-EPA ihlala ivumela ukukhululwa okungxamisekileyo kwizifo ezingapheliyo eziqikelelwayo ezenzeka kwiminyaka emininzi.I-Ofisi ye-EPA yoMhloli Jikelele ikhuphe ingxelo ngo-2019 efumanise ukuba ukuvunywa kwe-arhente "yexesha likaxakeka" kwizigidi zeehektare zezibulali zinambuzane azizange zilinganise ngempumelelo umngcipheko kwimpilo yabantu okanye kwendalo.
Iziko lifake uxwebhu lwezikhalazo olusemthethweni olucela i-EPA ukuba icuthe ukhululo olungxamisekileyo ukuya kwiminyaka emibini ukuthintela ukusetyenziswa kakubi okuthe kratya kwenkqubo.
Njengoko i-Arhente yoKhuseleko lokusiNgqongileyo yase-US iphinda ivume ii-neonicotinoids ezininzi ukuze zisetyenziswe ngokungekho ngxamisekileyo kwezinye zezona zityalo zityalwa kakhulu elizweni, ivume ngokukhawuleza i-neonicotinoid difurans.Isigqibo esicetywayo se-Ofisi ye-EPA yeZitshabalalisi zichasene kakhulu nezigqibo ezisekelwe kwisayensi zaseYurophu naseKhanada zokuvala okanye ukukhawulela ngokungqongqo ukusetyenziswa kwe-nicotine ngaphandle.
Umbhali wophononongo olukhulu lwezenzululwazi malunga nokufa okuyintlekele kwezinambuzane wathi “ukunciphisa kakhulu ukusetyenziswa kwezibulali-zinambuzane” yeyona nto iphambili ekuthinteleni izinambuzane ezingama-41 ekhulwini ukuba ziphele kumashumi ambalwa eminyaka azayo.
Iziko leBiodiversity ngumbutho wesizwe wolondolozo olungenzi nzuzo onamalungu angaphezu kwezigidi ezisisi-1.7 kunye namatsha ntliziyo akwi-intanethi azinikele ekukhuseleni izilwanyana ezisemngciphekweni wokutshabalala kunye nokusingqongileyo okusendle.
