1 | Environment: The Greening of Nairobi and Possible Land Grabbing at Mt. Kenya | Tontolo iainana : Fanamaitsoana an’i Nairobi sy mety hakana tany ao antendrombohitry Kenya. |
2 | There is some good news and bad news coming out of Kenya. | Misy vaovao tsara sy vaovao ratsy avy eto Kenya. |
3 | The good news is the greening of the capital city Nairobi, and the bad news is the unfolding situation where possible land grabbing is taking place around Mt. Kenya. | Ny vaovao tsara aloha dia ny handravahana zavamaitso [zavamaniry] ny renivohitra Nairobi, ary ny vaovao ratsy kosa dia ny mety hakana tany na handavahana tany amin'ny toerana manodidina ny Tendrombohitra Kenya. |
4 | We will be looking at these stories in this issue of GV environment. | Hojerentsika ao amin'ny GV tontolo iainana ny momba izany tantara rehetra izany. |
5 | Beginning with the good news, Bankelele reports on the October 17th leadership forum where John Gakuo, the town clerk of Nairobi city spoke; “John Gakuo:Restoring Nairobi's Glory.” | Aleo atomboka amin'ny vaovao tsara aloha, Nitatitra ny fivoriambe faha-17n'ny fitarihana olona i Bankelele ka naheno ny tenin'i John Gakuo, mpikarakara an'i Nairobi city nilaza ny“Hamerina indray ny Lazan'i Nairobi'.” |
6 | Like former Mayor (and now Presidential Candidate) Rudy Giuliani did for New York in the mid 1990's, John Gakuo, the town clerk of the City Council of Nairobi, is credited with the clean up of the city, making it a cleaner, safer, and a more beautiful place to visit. | Tahaka ny nataon'ny Ben'ny tanànan'i New York teo aloha (efa Kandidà ho Filoham-pirenena ankehitriny) Rudy Giuliani tamin'io tanàna lehibe io tamin'ny tanelanelan'ny taona 1990, dia inoana hanadio ny tanànan'i Nairobi koa ny mpikarakara avy ao amin'ny vaomieran'ny tanànan'i Nairobi John Gakuo , hahatonga ny tanàna ho milamina sy ho toerana mahafinaritra hotsidihana. |
7 | The post is exhaustive in covering the aspects of change, such as lighting, parks, staffing, and the strategies employed by Mr. Gakuo in greening the city of Nairobi. | Efa ampy ny bolongana mitantara ny fiovan'endrika maro tahaka ny fahazavana, ny fiantsonan'ny fiara, ny fandraisana mpiara-miasa ary ny teti-panorona ampiasain'Atoa Gakuo hanaovana an'I Nairobi ho tanàna maitso. |
8 | He gave his talk on the challenge of effective resource management and began by saying that resources were not the key to change, noting that some countries with abundant mineral resources, have their citizens living in extreme poverty, while others with less resources, have prudently managed what they have to achieve great things. | Nanome fanamby ny tenany ny hitantanana tsara ny harena eo ampelatanana satria ny tsy harena no vahaolan'ny fiovana, raha mahita isika fa maro ny firenena no manana harena voajanahary izaitratra nefa fadiranovana ny mponina ao aminy, ary ny sasany kosa mahavita zavatra lehibe sady betsaka na dia tsy misy loatra aza ny eo ampelatanana. |
9 | And that was the theme of his talk - use what you have to get what you want | Ary dia izay indrindra moa no iompanan'ny lohahevitra najorony: ampiasao izay anananao hahazoanao izay tadiavinao. |
10 | The success he has had at city hall has been though effective resource management and he decried leaders who use the ‘we have no money' excuse for not doing things, noting that they should solve problems in other ways | Tena hita mivaingana ny fahombiazan'ny zavabitany hita eny ampidirana ho any an-tanàna noho ny fahaiza-mitantana ary tsiniany ireo mpitondra mpilaza fa ‘tsy misy ny vola' mba tsy hanaovana na inona na inona, fa tsytokony hahita ny fomba hafa hamahana ny olana amin'ny fomba hafa foana. |
11 | To see the results of Mr. Gakuo's initiatives we go to the blogger and photographer egm, who posts pictures of Nairobi showing the beautiful central park, that serves as a great recreational area for the public and also as a habitat for animals as shown below. | Mba hahitana ny vokatry ny fandraisana andraikitra nataon'I Gakuo dia ho ao amin'ny mpibilaogy sy mpaka sary egm isika, izay nandefa ny sarin'I Nanome sary maromaro maneho ny fambolen-kazo tanterahin'I mpanolotsainan'ny tanàna John Gakuo teny amin'ny arabe manerana an'I Nairobi i Egm. |
12 | Egm also provided Globalvoices with pictures showing the planting of trees by John Gakuo's city council on the streets of Nairobi. And now the not-so-good news: from the blog of Richard Leakey, the celebrated paleontologist invites Ali Kaka the Executive director of East African Wildlife society to give an update on the fence realignment away from a gazetted section of Mount Kenya forest area. | Eto kosa indray dia vaovao tsy dia tsara loatra no ambara : avy amin'ny blaogin'i Richard Leakey ,ilay mpandinika malaza momba ny taolana sy ny sisan-javamananaina fahagola, izay nanasa an'i Ali Kaka izay tale mpanatanteraky ny East African Wildlife society[fikambanana mpiaro ny fiainan'ny biby sy zavamaniry dia sampana Afrika Atsinanana ] mba hamaritra indray mandeha ny faritra hasiana fefy mba tsy ho tafiditra ao ny sombim-paritry ny alan'ny tendrombohitra Kenya. |
13 | The post “Fencing and fears of land grabbing at Mt. Kenya” includes an aerial photograph showing the fence that cordons off part of the forest. | Misy sary nalaina avy teny an'habakabaka mampiseho ny fefy mamakivaky ny ala ny lahatsoratra “Famefena sy fanahiana hisian'ny fandraofan-tany eny an-tendrombohitry Kenya”. |
14 | What this means for animals and the surrounding mount Kenya area is also included, with Ali Kaka stating | Nampidirina tao koa ny dikan'ny fefy raha jerena ny biby sy ny manodidina ny tendrombohitra |
15 | We estimate the area of forest that is being left out is about 3,000 acres. It is part of the original forest gazettment of the Mt Kenya World heritage site. | Tombananay fa eo ho eo amin'ny 12.000 ara eo ho eo (1 acre mira 40 ara) ny velaran'ny ala mety ho ripaka amin'izany asa atao izany. |
16 | Implications for conservation are primarily the loss of mature natural forest and threat to vital water catchment for this part of Mt Kenya - major river is the Burguret river with several tributaries that lead into the Burguret will be outside the new fence. | |
17 | For elephants it is important as important salt licks are also outside the fence. | Ao anatin'ny faritr'ala voalohany (tsy mbola nopotehin'olombelona) anatin'ny lovan'izao tontolo izao ao an-tendrombohitry |
18 | It is believed that the elephants on Mt Kenya are limited by nutrients hence their dependence on mineral deposits at various places around the mountain and if they loose access to these this is likely to limit population growth - the theory needs more research but it may explain why they are so dependent on these rich mineral areas. | |
19 | More updates on this story will be available on Richard Leakey's blog. | |
