6 | On World Environment Day (WED) 2014, environmental activists across Africa took the opportunity to caution against forsaking the environment in the rush to promote economic growth. | Nandritra ny Andro Maneran-tany Ho an'ny Tontolo Iainana (WED) 2014, nanararaotra io fotoana io ireo mafana fo manerana an'i Afrika mpiaro ny tontolo iainana mba hampitandremana ny fanaovana sorona ny tontolo iainana noho ny fahamaikana hampiroborobo ny fitomboana ara-toekarena. |
7 | This is not a zero-sum game, they warned. | Tsy lalao izay ahazoana tambatra aotra izy ity akory, hoy izy ireo nampitandrina. |
8 | The theme for the U.N.-sanctioned day this year on 5 June was ‘raise your voice, not the sea level‘ with a focus on island nations facing the treat of climate change. | Ny lohahevitry ny andro neken'ny Firenena Mikambana ny 5 Jona tamin'ity taona ity dia ‘Ny feonao ampiakarina, fa tsy ny haavon'ny ranomasina‘, izay miompana bebe kokoa amin'ireo nosy firenena miatrika ny fiovaovàn'ny toetrandro. |
9 | Many regions throughout the African continent are vulnerable to climate change - mainland and islands alike. | Faritra maro manerana ny tanibe Afrikana no mora iantefan'ny fiovaovàn'ny toetrandro - mitovy daholo na ny tanibe na ireo nosy. |
10 | Blog newsmada.com out of Madagascar explained in a post earlier this year: | Nanazava ny bilaogy newsmada.com avy ao Madagasikara tanatinà lahatsoratra tamin'ny voalohandohan'ity taona ity fa: |
11 | With the development of coastal cities in Africa and Asia, the poorest residents are jettisoned to the margins of residential areas, places where the consequences of climate change pose the greatest dangers. | Amin'ny fivoaran'ireo tanàna amorontsiraka any Afrika sy any Azia, nariana any ivelan'ny faritra azo onenana, na toerana izay hiterahan'ny fiovaovàn'ny toetrandro loza lehibe indrindra, ireo mponina mahantra indrindra, . |
12 | Researchers in sub-Saharan Africa identified the main challenge as compromised food safety due to rainfall pattern changes and the risks of drought and flooding. | Nataon'ireo mpikaroka any Afrika Mainty ho tena vaindohan-draharaha ny resaka antoka ara-tsakafo, noho ny mety hisian'ny haintany sy ny tondradrano, sy ny vokatry ny fiovaovan'ny endriky ny pitik'orana. |
13 | A temperature increase of between 1.5 to 2°C could cause drought and aridity and render 40 to 80% of agricultural land unfit for cultivation of maize, millet and sorghum by the 2030s. | Mety hamadika ny 40 ka hatramin'ny 80 isan-jaton'ny tany ho tsy azo ambolena katsaka, ampemby ary sorgho intsony ny haintany sy ny tsy fisian'ny rano any ho any amin'ny taona 2030-2040 any, noho ny fiakaran'ny hafanana eo amin'ny 1.5 ka hatramin'ny 2° C. eo. |
14 | The Congo Basin Forest Partnership (CBFP), an initiative launched by former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell in 2002, published various studies and articles on the environment over the year. | Namoaka fandalinana sy lahatsoratra samihafa momba ny tontolo iainana ny Congo Basin Forest Partnership (CBFP) izay hetsika natomboky Sekreteram-panjakana Amerikana teo aloha Colin Powell, nandritra ny taona. |
15 | On March of 2014, prior to WED, Dr. Denis Sonwa analyzed the difficulty reconciling forestry protection with the needs of development in an article on the CBFP website: | Ny volana Martsa tamin'ny taona 2014, talohan'ny WED, dia namakafaka ny hasarotan'ny fampifandraisana ny fiarovana ny ala sy ireo filàna fampivoarana ny Dr. Denis Sonwa tanatinà lahatsoratra iray ao amin'ny vohikalan'ny CBFP : |
16 | Contrary to perceptions in the developed world, development and conservation were seen as mutually exclusive in developing countries. | Mifanohitra amin'ireo fijerin'ny tany mandroso, toa hita ho fahavalo ny fivoarana sy ny fiarovana any amin'ireo tany andalam-pandrosoana. |
17 | Intensive agricultural production seems to be incompatible with forestry. | Toa tsy mifanaraka mihitsy amin'ny ala ny famokarana ara-pambolena mahery vaika. |
18 | According to a recent report by the World Bank, some of the conditions (remoteness, low level of funding and investment in the agricultural sector, little mining, low energy consumption per household, etc.), which have contributed to maintaining of biodiversity and forest carbon storage in Central Africa, will change in the near future, with a risk of increasing deforestation. | Araka ny tatitra farany nataon'ny Banky Iraisam-pirenena, hiova ireo fepetra sasantsasany (halavirana, hakelin'ny famatsiana sy fampiasam-bola eo amin'ny sehatry ny fambolena, hakelin'ny fitrandrahana ny harena an-kibon'ny tany, hakelin'ny fanjifàna angovo isan-tokatrano,sns. ) any aoriana any, izay nandray anjara tanatin'ny fihazonana ny fahasamihafan'ny zavamananaina sy ny fanangonana ny karbônina an'ala ao Afrika Afovoana, ka mety hiteraka ny fitomboan'ny fanapahana hazo. |
19 | Without great will or profound change, such as going outside the biodiversity sector to save it, current efforts are likely to be in vain. | Raha tsy misy ny fandavan-tena goavana na fiovàna ifotony, toy ny hoe fandehanana mihoatra ny sehatry ny fahasamihafan'ny zavamananaina mba hiarovana izany, dia toa tsy hisy vokany ireo ezaka amin'izao fotoana. |
20 | In Mauritania, singer and human rights activist Malouma dedicated a video to WED with lyrics set to images by Frederic Bacuez and published on ornithondar.blogspot.fr. | Any Maoritania, nanolotra lahatsary ho an'ny WED miaraka amin'ny tononkira an-tsary nataon'i Frederic Bacuez, ary navoaka tao amin'ny ornithondar.blogspot.fr i Malouma, mpihira sady mafana fo mpiaro ny zon'olombelona. |
21 | She sings: | Mihiry izy hoe: |
22 | Let's stop killing / Let's stop polluting / Using growth as an excuse / Will there be a savior? | ‘Ndeha hatsahatra ny famonoana / ‘Ndeha hatsahatra ny fandotoana / Ny fampiasàna ny fitomboana ho fialan-tsiny / Moa ve hisy mpamonjy? |
23 | / The sky, your protector / And the earth, your mother / Plants, your sisters / And the water, your spring / And friends! | / Ny lanitra , mpiahy anareo / Ary ny tany, reninareo / Ireo zava-maniry, anabavinareo / Ary ny rano, loharanonareo / Ary Ry namana! |
24 | / Protect nature | / Arovy ny zavaboary |
25 | Raphael Kafando analyzed the link between food self-sufficiency and climate change on blog cnpress-zongo.ning.com, comparing the concept of green economy to the realities of his own country, Burkina Faso: | Nandinika ny fifandraisana misy eo amin'ny fahafahana miantoka ny fahampian-tsakafon'ny tena sy ny fiovaovan'ny toetrandro I Raphael Kafando ao amin'ny bilaogy cnpress-zongo.ning.com, izay mampitaha ny hevitry ny toekarena maintso sy ireo zava-misy marina ao amin'ny fireneny ao Burkina Faso: |
26 | In a country where food self-sufficiency remains a priority, industry is still in its infancy and which is keen to attract investors at any price, is the environment the number one concern? | Anatinà firenena iray izay mbola laharam-pahamehana ny fahafahana miantoka ny fahampian-tsakafon'ny tena, ka mbola eo ampanombohana foana ny resaka indostria ary misarika ireo mpampiasa vola fatratra, ny tontolo iainana ve no voalohany ivakiana loha? |
27 | In a country where the mining boom is regarded as a godsend and the priority is getting the unemployed into work without actually considering the pollution produced by these industries, can we really talk about the green economy? | Anatinà firenena iray izay handraisana ny fivelaran'ny fitrandrahana harena an-kibon'ny tany ho mana avy any an-danitra, sy ny fametrahana ho lahara-pahamehana ny fanomezana asa ho an'ireo tsy an'asa tsy an-kijery akory ny fahalotoana aterak'ireo orinasa ireo, dia tena afaka miresaka momba ny toekarena maintso marina ve isika? |
28 | Julien Dembele of Senegal wrote impassioned tribute to former United States Vice President Al Gore for his ‘personal crusade' for the environment. | Nanoratra fahatsiarovana lalina ho an'ny Filoha lefitr'i Amerika teo aloha Al Gore i Julien Dembele avy any Senegal, noho ny ‘hetsi-panentanana manokana' nataony ho an'ny tontolo iainana. |
29 | Dembele also wrote a French-language article entitled ‘Top 10 Reasons to Protect the Environment‘ stating: | Nanoratra lahatsoratra tamin'ny teny frantsay ihany koa i Dembele, mitondra ny lohateny hoe ‘Antony 10 Lehibe Tokony Hiarovana Ny Tontolo Iainana‘ ary milaza fa: |
30 | A healthy environment equates to good health […] In 2003, the WHO reported that 21% of human diseases were directly linked to the environment. | Ny tontolo iainana madio dia mira fahasalamana tsara […] Ny taona 2003, nitatitra ny OMS fa 21%-n'ireo aretin'olona no nifandray mivantana amin'ny tontolo iainana. |
31 | Three main factors have been identified as causing nearly three-quarters of environment-related diseases or poor health. | Antony lehibe telo no hita fa mahatonga eo amin'ny telo ampahefatry ny aretina sy fahasalamana marefo vokatry ny tontolo iainana. |
32 | These are - water, sanitation and hygiene - domestic air pollution - physical injury. | Ireto avy izany- ny rano, ny fanadiovana sy ny fitandremam-pahasalamana - ny fahalotoan'ny rivotra iainana ao an-tokatrano - ny faharatràna ara-batana. |
33 | Action on these three factors would enable a significant reduction of diseases directly and indirectly related to the environment. | Afaka mampihena lehibe ny aretina mifandray mivantana na ankolaka amin'ny tontolo iainana ny fandraisana andraikitra amin'ireo antony telo ireo. |
34 | He also penned a protest letter addressed to the director of Senegalese Television (RTS-TV) after it broadcast an advert for an insecticide considered unsafe for humans. | Nanoratra taratasy fanoherana nalefa ho an'ny talen'ny Fahitalavitra Senegaley (RTS-TV) ihany koa izy taorian'ny nandefasan'izany dokambarotra iray mombanà famonoana biby kely hita ho mitera-doza ho an'ny olombelona. |
35 | Awareness of the environment's importance is certainly on the rise in Africa. | Efa hita ho mihamitombo ny fahatsiarovan-tena amin'ny mahazava-dehibe ny tontolo iainana ao Afrika. |
36 | But will this mean that countries sacrifice some of their bad habits for a cleaner, healthier future? | Saingy midika ve izany hoe hiala amin'ny fomba ratsiny ireo firenena ireo mba hananana ho avy madio sy ara-pahasalamana kokoa? |
