3 | Every year, Peru carries out the chaccu, when vicuñas (wild relatives of the llama) are sheared for their wool. | Isan-taona, manatanteraka ny chaccu i Però rehefa manety ireo “vigognes” (bibidia anatin'ny fianakaviamben'ny Iamà) hakàna ny volony. |
4 | It happens in the final week of June at Pampa Galeras-Bárbara d'Achille Natural Reserve, in Ayacucho. | Anatin'ny herinandro farany amin'ny volana Jona no hanatanterahana izany, any amin'ny Toby Fitahirizana Zavaboary Pampa Galeras-Bárbara d'Achille any Ayacucho. |
5 | This traditional hunt for the vicuna dates back to pre-Hispanic times. | Efa hatr'ireo vanim-potoana mialohan'ny fanjanahan'i Espana ny tany amin'ny ila bolantany Andrefana io fomban-drazana ihazàna vigogne io. |
6 | With the cry of “¡Chacutay jayaycusa!” | Atomboka amin'ny hiakiakan'ny “¡Chacutay jayaycusa!” |
7 | (Let's start chaccu!), followed by the answer “Chaccu!” this annual event starts, as described by website turismoi.pe: | (Ndeha hanomboka ny chaccu!), arahin'ny valiny “Chaccu!” io fomba io isan-taona, araka ny voafaritry ny vohikala turismoi.pe: |
8 | Chaccu is a Quechua word that is used for a specific practice: chasing, capturing, and shearing the vicuñas. | Teny Queschua ny Chaccu, izay ampiasaina amin'ny fomba fanao manokana: ny fihazàna, ny fisamborana, ary ny fanetezana ireo vigognes. |
9 | For the process, the group of animals is surrounded within a huge area that little by little gets enclosed until every animal is captured and be sheared. | Mandritra ny dingana atao, didinina anaty faritra lehibe iray ny vondron'ireo biby ireo, izay mihakely hatrany mandra-pahavoasambotra azy tsirairay ka voahety. |
10 | The vicuña is one of four species of Andean camelids: | Iray amin'ireo karazany efatra amin'ireo “camélidés” an'ireo Andes ny vigogne. |
11 | The vicuña is the animal with the finest natural fiber in the world-a kilogram of vicuña fiber costs more than four hundred dollars. | Ny vigogne no biby manana kofehy natoraly tsara kalitao indrindra eran-tany-mitentina maherin'ny efajato dolara ny iray kilao amin'ny kofehiny. |
12 | They live in groups led by an adult male and reproduce once a year. | Miara-monina anatinà vondrona izy ireo, izay ahitana lahiny lehibe iray, ary miteraka in-dray mandeha isan-taona. |
13 | Capturing the vicuña requires huge physical effort, not only due to their speed, but mainly because they live in the highlands of the Andes, in the puna or paramo, a high mountain area known for its hostile weather. | Mitaky hery ara-batana goavana ny fisamborana ny vigogne, tsy noho ny hafainganam-pandehany fotsiny, fa indrindra noho izy ireo monina any amin'ny faritra avon'ireo Andes, eny amin'ny “puna” na “paramo”, faritry ny tendrombohitra iray avo fantatra amin'ny faharatsian'ny toetrandrony. |
14 | The purpose is to get the vicuña fiber without hurting the animal or damaging the fiber itself. | Ny tanjona dia ny hahazoana ny kofehin'ny vigogne tsy misy fandratrana ilay biby na fanimbana ny kofehiny. |
15 | Once the shearing is carried out, the product goes through another process: | Rehefa vita ny fanetezana, miditra amin'ny dingana hafa ilay vokatra: |
16 | A group, formed mainly by women, is in charge of receiving the fleece and folding it with a special technique, as if it were a shirt that gets packed for traveling. | Misy vondrona iray, izay vehivavy no tena hita ao anatiny, miandraikitra ny fandraisana ny volon'ny vigogne sady mamoritra izany amin'ny fomba iray manokana, toy ny ambonin'akanjo ampirimina raha hivahiny lavitra. |
17 | They fold the sleeves and the body of the fleece until they have a 15×15 centimeter package, which is placed into a polyethylene bag with a label indicating the origin of the fiber and whether it comes from a male or a female. | Aforitr'izy ireo ny tanan'ilay volo miendrika ambonin'akanjo sy ny vatany mandra-pahazony fonosana 15×15 santimetatra, izay apetraka ao anaty harona vita amin'ny polyethylene miaraka aminà marika milaza ny niavian'ny kofehy sy ny hoe avy aminà lahy sa vavy ilay izy. |
18 | Once the shearing is done, the animals are counted up and the vicuñas are freed until next year. | Rehefa vita ny fanetezana, isaina ireo biby ary avela malalaka indray mandra-piavin'ny taona manaraka. |
19 | In 2012, the Peruvian Ministry of Agriculture reinstituted an evaluation program to establish how many vicuñas there are in the country. | Ny taona 2012, namerina nametraka drafitra fanaraha-maso ny isan'ireo vigogne ao amin'ny firenena ny Minisitry ny Fambolena ao Però. |
20 | According to the government's findings, the population of these South American camelidos nationwide is 209, representing a 76-percent increase since 2000. | Araka ireo fikarohan'ny fanjakana, miisa 208.895 ireo camélidés avy any Amerika Atsimo ireo, izay mampiseho fitomboana 76 isanjato hatramin'ny taona 2000. |
21 | Ayacucho is the area with the most vicuñas, with an estimated 62 animals, representing 29 percent of the total population. | I Ayacucho no toerana ahitàna vigogne betsaka indrindra, izay vinavinaina ho biby 62, izany hoe 29 isanjaton'ny tontalibeny. |
22 | The blog Alpacas y Alpaqueros shared the results of the 2012 National Vicuña Survey: | Nampiseho ireo vokatry ny Fanisana ny Vigogne manerana ny Firenena tamin'ny taona 2012 ny bilaogy Alpacas y Alpaqueros: |
23 | The results show that the total population of vicuñas in Peru amounts to 208,889 animals, from which 70 percent are wildlife and 30 percent are feral. | Mampiseho ireo vokatra ireo fa tafiakatra ho 208.889 ireo vigognes ao Però, izay ny 70 isanjatony dia bibidia ary ny 30 ambiny kosa navela mihenjihenjy rehefa avy notezaina. |
