I-Arhente yoKhuseleko lweNdalo yase-US (i-EPA) ikhuphe uyilo loluvo lwebhayoloji oluvela kwi-US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) malunga nezibulali-zinambuzane ezimbini ezisetyenziswa kakhulu – i-atrazine kunye ne-simazine

Kutshanje, i-US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ikhuphe uyilo lwembono yebhayoloji evela kwi-US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) malunga neyeza ezimbini zokubulala ukhula ezisetyenziswa kakhulu – i-atrazine kunye ne-simazine. Kuye kwaqaliswa ixesha leentsuku ezingama-60 lokuphawula uluntu.

Ukukhutshwa kwale drafti kubonisa inyathelo elibalulekileyo kwi-EPA kunye ne-FWS ekuzalisekiseni inkqubo yokubonisana ngokomthetho phantsi koMthetho weeNtlobo ezisengozini yokutshabalala. Izigqibo zokuqala zale drafti zibonisa ukuba, emva kokwamkelwa kwamanyathelo afanelekileyo okunciphisa, la mayeza okubulala ukhula mabini awabangeli bungozi okanye impembelelo embi kuninzi lweentlobo zezilwanyana ezisengozini yokutshabalala kunye neendawo zazo zokuhlala ezibalulekileyo ezifunyenwe ukuba "zineziphumo ezibi ezinokubakho" kuvavanyo lwebhayoloji luka-2021.

Imvelaphi yoLawulo

NgokoMthetho weeNtlobo ezisengozini yokutshabalala, i-EPA kufuneka iqinisekise ukuba izenzo zayo (kuquka ukuvunywa kokubhaliswa kwezibulali-zinambuzane) aziyi kubangela ingozi okanye iziphumo ezimbi kwintlobo ezisengozini yokutshabalala okanye ezisengozini ezidweliswe kurhulumente kunye neendawo zazo zokuhlala ezibalulekileyo.

Xa i-EPA igqiba kuvavanyo lwayo lwebhayoloji ukubaisibulali-zinambuzaneUkuba “inokuthi ichaphazele” iintlobo ezisengozini okanye ezisengozini ezidweliswe ngurhulumente wobumbano, kufuneka iqalise inkqubo yokubonisana ngokusesikweni ne-FWS okanye i-National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Ukuphendula, i-arhente efanelekileyo iya kukhupha uluvo lwebhayoloji ukuze ekugqibeleni igqibe ukuba ukusetyenziswa kwesibulali-zinambuzane “kuyingozi”.

I-glyphosate kunye ne-mesotrione, ezisetyenziswa kakhulu njengeyeza lokubulala ukhula kwezolimo e-US, zitsale ingqalelo enkulu kwinkqubo yovavanyo lwe-ESA. Emva kokuba i-EPA igqibile uvavanyo lwebhayoloji ngo-2021, yaqalisa iingxoxo ezisesikweni ne-FWS. Umbhalo osandul’ ukukhutshwa woluvo lwebhayoloji yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yale nkqubo.

Impembelelo kumashishini afanelekileyo

● Imbono yexesha elifutshane ilungile: Uyilo lugqibe kwelokuba ezi mveliso zimbini aziyi kubangela “ingozi okanye iziphumo ezimbi” kuninzi lweentlobo zezilwanyana, nto leyo enciphisa iinkxalabo zeli shishini malunga nokuvalwa okubanzi kwezi mveliso.

● Ingqwalasela yexesha elide isafuneka: Uvavanyo lweentlobo ezimbalwa lusaqhubeka, kwaye izimvo zokugqibela zebhayoloji zisenokufuna amanyathelo okunciphisa awongezelelweyo nangqongqo, anokuchaphazela iileyibhile zemveliso kunye nezikhokelo zokusetyenziswa. Iinkampani kufuneka zilungele utshintsho olunokubakho lweeleyibhile kunye nemida yokusetyenziswa.

Isicwangciso esilandelayo

Emva kokuba kugqityiwe ukubonisana noluntu, i-EPA iya kuthumela izimvo eziqokelelweyo kwi-FWS ukuze zibhekisele kuzo kuyilo lokugqibela. Ngokomyalelo wenkundla yombuso, uluvo lokugqibela lwebhayoloji lwe-FWS lucwangciselwe ukugqitywa ngoMatshi 31, 2026. Emva kokuba zonke iingxoxo ne-FWS kunye ne-NMFS (ezicwangciselwe ukugqitywa ngo-2030) zigqityiwe, i-EPA iya kwenza isigqibo sokugqibela ngokubhaliswa kwe-atrazine kunye ne-simazine. Kucetyiswa ukuba amashishini afanelekileyo ajonge ngokusondeleyo le nkqubo ukuqinisekisa ukuba amaqhinga awo okuthobela imithetho ayahambelana neemfuno zomthetho.
