1 | Water Pollution Threatens Lives in Inner Mongolia's Tengger Desert | Fahalotoan'ny Rano Mitera-doza Ho An'ny Aina Sy Ny Tontolo Iainana Ao Amin'ny Tany Hay Tengger |
2 | In the past few days, members of the Yellow River 10-Year Investigation [zh] team have begun reporting on the situation regarding water pollution in the Tengger Desert of Inner Mongolia. | Tato anatin'ny andro vitsy, ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny tarika Yellow River 10-Year Investigation [zh] - Fanadihadiana isaky ny 10 taona momba ny Renirano Mavo - dia nanomboka nitatitra ny teo-draharaha mikasika ny fahalotoan'ny rano ao amin'ny tany efitr'i Tengger any Mongolia Afovoany. |
3 | The team claim that black industrial water emitted by a coal chemical processing factory in the industrial district has been contaminating the desert's underground water, destroying the local herders' homeland and endangering the lives of those in the desert. | Milaza ilay tarika fa misy rano miloko mainty avoakan'ny indostria simika mpanodina arintany ao amin'ilay distrika be indostria mandoto ireo rano ambanin'ny tany any amin'io tany efitra io, manimba ny faritra fiompian'ireo mpiompy any an-toerana ary mitondra loza mitatao amin'ny fiainan'ireo miaina ao amin'ilay tany efitra. |
4 | The Investigation is a non-profit research effort jointly launched in 2012 by Green Sina [zh] and Green Earth Volunteers. | Ny fanadihadiana dia ezaka nataonà fikambanana iray tsy mitady tombontsoa tamin'ny 2012 niarahana nanomboka tamin'ny Green Sina [zh] sy Green Earth Volunteers. |
5 | Recently, the team visited Tengger Desert and reported their trip in Chinese social media. | Vao haingana dia nitsidika ny tany efitr'i Tengger ilay tarika ary nitatitra ny dian'izy ireo teny anaty media sosialy Shinoa. |
6 | A widely disseminated micro blog post [zh] written by Ai Ruogan, a famous podcaster and an investigation team member, on Sina Weibo from October 29, 2012, explains. | Lahatsoratra tanaty fitorahana bilaogy kiritika, niparitaka be mihitsy, nosoratan'i Ai Ruogan, malaza amin'ny fandefasana podcast sady mpikambana ao anatin'ilay tarika mpanao fanadihadiana, no manazava ao amin'ny Sina Weibo nanomboka ny 29 Oktobra 2012. |

9 | Now we are investigating at the industrial district of Tengger Desert at Alxa Zuoqi, Inner Monglia. | Amin'izao fotoana izahay dia manao fanadihadiana any amin'ny ditrika be indostria ao amin'ny tany efitr'i Tengge ao Alxa Zuoqi, Afovoan'i Monglia. |
10 | I see with my own eyes the corporations in the industrial district transporting polluted water with trucks and dumping it in the desert. | Ny masoko no mahita ireo orinasa vaventy mitatitra rano voaloto aminà fiara vaventy ary manary izany ao amin'ilay tany efitra. |
11 | The water turns into small lakes. | Lasa toy ny farihy kely ilay rano avy eo. |
12 | In some areas, they use pipes and pump the polluted water down to the heart of the desert. | Any amin'ny faritra sasany, mampiasa fantsona sy paompy ry zareo handefasana ny rano malotony ho any afovoan'ilay tany efitra. |
13 | The herders' wells are just a few hundred meters away from the factories. | Anjatony metatra vitsy miala amin'ireo orinasa no misy ny lavadranon'ire mpiompy. |
14 | Also, there is a natural lake for wild birds to take rest nearby. | Sady koa, misy farihy voajanahary hoan'ireo vorona dia miala sasatra eny akaiky eny eo. |
15 | I wonder if these birds can survive for long… some herdsmen are already suffering from leukemia… | Manontany tena aho raha toa ireny vorona ireny ho afaka hiaina fotoana ela… efa misedra aretina leucémie sahady ny sasany amin'ireo mpiompy… |
16 | Song Fuli, another team member, provided photo evidence [zh], showing how corporations are using pipes to pump water into the desert: | Song Fuli, mpikambana hafa iray ao anatin'ilay tarika, no nitondra sary ho porofo [zh], mampiseho ny fomba fampiasan'ireo orinasa vaventy ireo fantsona hitrohany ny rano hankany amin'ny tany hay : |
17 | The pipe secretly channels the polluted water into the desert. | Afenina ny fantsona mitondra ny rano mankany amin'ny tany hay. |
18 | What a genius corporation, what a genius government! | Atidoh'orinasa re izao, governemanta be atidoha! |
19 | Remember this is the industrial district of Alxa Zuoqi, Inner Monglia. | Tsarovy fa ity no distrika be orinasa ao Alxa Zuoqi, Afovoan'i Monglia. |
20 | The herders are settling just two miles away from here. | Maily roa (telo kilaometatra) monja miala eto no misy ireo mpiompy. |

23 | Wang Yongchen, the coordinator of Green Earth and also a member of the investigation team, recounted what she saw at Sina Weibo [zh]: | Wang Yongchen, mpandrindra ny Green Earth sady koa mpikambana iray ao amin'ilay tarika mpanao fanadihadiana, no nitanisa ny zavatra hitany tao amin'ny Sina Weibo [zh]: |
24 | @Wang: This is the water treatment pool where the factories from the Tengger Industrial area store their polluted water. | @Wang: Ity no dobo fikarakarana ny rano anangonan'ireo orinasa avy ao amin'ny faritra be indostria ao Tengger ny rano maloton-dry zareo. |
25 | The smell is so bad that we felt dizzy even we covered our mouths and noses. | Ratsy be ny fofona ary mahamamo anay mihitsy na dia efa manarona ny vava sy ny orona aza izahay. |
26 | Local herders said in the summer, they could not even open their eyes when they were near the pool. | Miteny ireo mpiompy ao an-toerana fa rehefa lohataona, na ny mason-dry zareo aza tsy vitany ny manokatra azy rehefa eny akaikin'ilay dobo ry zareo. |
27 | The destruction of herders homeland and golden desert, is that the price we have to pay for modernization? | Ny famotehana ny faritra fonenan'ireo mpiompy sy ilay tany haim-bolamena ve no sanda aloantsika mba ho maoderina kokoa ny fiainana? |
28 | The well is just a mile away from the water treatment pool. | Zara raha misy 1,5 km miala amin'ireo dobo fikarakarana ny rano maloto no misy ireo lavadrano. |
29 | Photo by Wang Yongchen. | Sary avy amin'i Wang Yongchen. |
30 | @Wang: The well that supplies drinking water to the herders is just a little more than a mile away from the water treatment pool. | @Wang: Ny lavadrano manome rano fisotrao ho an'ireo mpiompy dia zara raha misy iray kilaometatra sy sasany miala amin'ny dobo fikarakarana ireo rano maloto. |
31 | The water level is just two meters deep. | Roa metatra eo fotsiny no halalin'ny rano. |
32 | We asked whether the water is safe to drink. | Nanontanianay raha azo antoka azo sotroina ny rano. |
33 | They said they can't find water elsewhere. | Nilaza ruy zareo fa tsy mahita rano na aiza na aiza. |
34 | This is their home. | Ity no toeram-ponenany. |
35 | @Wang: Tengger Desert is also home to swans, wild ducks, camels. | @Wang: Ny tany hain'i Tengger dia toeram-ponenana ihany koa ho an'ireo gisa dia, vorona dia, rameva. |
36 | Now that the chemical factories are dumping black water in the desert, where can the birds settle after sunset? | Ankehitriny izao izay anarian'ireo orinasa rano miloko mainty any an-tany efitra, aiza indray no toerana hipetrahan'ireo vorona rehefa mody masoandro iny? |
37 | @Wang: Now all of us in the car are suffering from headaches, soar throats and chest pains. | @Wang: Amin'izao, mararyan-doha daholo izahay rehetra ato anaty fiara, aretin-tenda sy fanaintainana any anaty tratra. |
38 | We were intending to get a water sample to the laboratory in Beijing, but got so sick. | Nihevitra ny hitondra santionany tamin'ilay rano izahay ho entina tiliana anyamin'ny laboratoara any Beijing, saingy tena nahatsiar ho narary loatra. |
39 | I wonder how life can survive here. | Mampanotany tena ahy ny mbola ahafahan'ny aina hitohy eto. |
40 | I can't imagine. | TSy takatry ny saiko. |
41 | @Wang: As compensation for the herders' loss, the corporates gave each of them RMB 20,000 (equivalent to USD 3,300) as compensation. | @Wang: Ho fanonerana ny fahavoazan'ireo mpiompy, nomen'ilay orinasa 20.000 RMB (eo amin'ny 3.000 Dolara Amerikana eo) tsirairay avy ry zareo ho toy ny onitra. |
42 | The herders said the settlement was decided by a party secretary of the town. | Nambaran'ireo mpiompy fa ny sekreteran'ny antoko tao amin'ny tànana ihany no tompon-kevitra tamin'ny fifampiraharahàna. |
43 | We will carry on our investigation tomorrow. | Rahampitso izahay no hanao ny fanadihadianay. |
44 | I wonder if the authorities are ignorant of the ecology in the desert or they just simply don't care. | Manontany tena aho raha ta tena tsy mahafantatra marina ny resaka ekolojia ao amin'ilay tany hay ireo manamapahefàna na dia tsy tsy miraharha tsotra izao fotsiny. |
45 | According to a local report [zh], the water emitted from the industrial district is from a coal chemical processing factory. | Araka ny voalazan'ny taitra iray avy ao an-toerana [zh], ilay rano avoakan'io distrika indostrialy io dia avy aminà orinasa mampiasa akora simika ho fanodinana ny arintany. |
46 | Even though there is a water treatment facility in the district, it hasn't yet gone operational in order to save on costs. | Na dia misy fotodrafitrasa fikarakarana ny rano aza ao amin'ilay distrika, tsy mbola amperin'asa hisahanana ny fahavoazana izany. |
47 | The result is that toxic water is being stored at the water treatment pool to await vaporization or, in some cases, being secretly dumped in the desert. | Ny vokany dia ilay rano voapoizina tehirizina anaty dobo miandry izay hahalasa entona azy, na amin'ny tranga sasany, ariana an-tsokosoko ao amin'ilay tany efitra. |
48 | On the next day, October 30, the investigation team traveled further upstream, Ai Ruogan continued his report [zh]: | Ny andro manaraka, ny 30 Oktobra, nitsidika ny sehatra ambonimbony kokoa ny tarika mpanao fanadihadiana, hoy i Ai Ruogan nanohy ny tatitra nataony [zh] : |
49 | In the morning, we continued investigating in the desert. | Ny maraina, nanohy nanadihady tany amin'ilay tany hay izahay. |
50 | Upstream of the water treatment pool, we could still see very clear stream flowing. | Any amin'ny faritra ambonin'ilay toby fikarakarana rano, dia afaka mahita tsara isika rano madio mangarahara mikoriana. |
51 | We just don't know how long the the clean water will flow for. | Tsy fantatsika hoe mandra-pahoviana no hikoriana toy izany ny rano madio. |
52 | A old man, Hubudai, asked, “how come some people would spend money to preserve the environment, while some would destroy the grassland to make money? | Lahy antitra iray, Hubudai, no nanontany hoe “ahoana moa no ny olona sasany mandany vola hiarovana ny tontolo iainana, raha ny sasany indray kosa manimba ny lemaka mba hahazoam-bola? |
53 | I don't like money, I love my homeland and grassland. | Tsy tiako ny vola, ny tany nahalatsahan'ny tavoniko sy ny lemako no tiako. |
54 | The development of chemical industry has forced us out of our homeland.” | Ny firoboroboan'ny indotria simika no nanery anay handao ny taninay.” |
