5 | This post first appeared on IranVoices.org and is translated into English and published here as part of a content-sharing agreement. | Tao amin'ny IranVoices.org no nivoaka voalohany ity lahatsoratra ity ary nadika ho teny Anglisy sy navoaka eto noho ny fifanarahana fifampizaràna votoaty. |
6 | “I promise you if I am elected as the head of the executive branch, I will start working to save Lake Urmia on the first day,” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said during his election campaign. | “Manome toky anareo aho fa raha voafidy ho filohan'ny rantsana mpanatanteraka, dia hanomboka hiasa hanavotra ny Farihy Urmia dieny amin'ny andro voalohany,” hoy i Hassan Rouhani, filoha Iraniana, niteny nandritry ny fampielezan-keviny ho amin'ny fifidianana. |
7 | Indeed, the topic of Lake Urmia has become something of a national crisis. | Eny tokoa, lasa zavatra iray ao anatin'ny olan'ny firenena ny Farihy Urmia. |
8 | This lake is the one of the largest saltwater lakes on Earth located in the country's northwestern corner, close to the Turkish border, between the provinces of East and West Azerbaijan, and parts of northern Kurdistan. | Ity farihy ity no iray amin'ireo farihy lehibe indrindra eran'izao tontolo izao ahitàna rano masira, any amin'ny tendro avaratra andrefan'ny firenena, akaikin'ny sisintany Tiorka, eo anelanelan'ny faritanin'i Azerbaijana Atsinanana sy Andrefana, ary ampahany amin'ny avaratr'i Kurdistan. |
9 | Researchers for the Journal of Great Lake Research have stated the lake is on the brink of a major environmental disaster. | Ireo mpikaroka avy amin'ny “Journal of Great Lake Research” (Gazetim-Pikarohan'i Great Lake) dia nilaza fa amoron-tevan'ny fahasimbana ara-tontolo iainana ilay farihy. |
10 | Urmia's receding shoreline has led to significant shrinkage in the lake's surface area, endangering an entire ecosystem. | Ny sisiny manamorona an'i Urmia dia efa lasa nisintona lalina any anatin'ny faritry, ka loza mananontanona ho an'ny firindran'ny fiainana ao aminy. |
11 | The video below outlines the severe changes between October 1972 and August 2014. | Ity lahatsary eto ambany ity no maneho ny fiovàna henjana teo anelanelan'ny Oktobra 1972 sy Aogositra 2014. |
12 | During his first cabinet meeting in August 2013, Rouhani established a working group to address the crisis. | Ny Aogositra 2013, nandritry ny fivoriana voalohany nataon'ny kabinetrany, napetrak'i Rouhani ny vaomiera iray handinika ilay olana. |
13 | His cabinet's energy minister heads the group, while other members include the agriculture minister, the interior minister, and the Environment Protection Organisation. | Ny minisitry ny angovo no mitarika ilay vaomiera, raha ireo mpikambana hafa kosa ahitàna ny minisitry ny fambolena, ny atitany, ary ny Fikambanana ho Fiarovana ny Tontolo Iainana. |
14 | Other efforts include initiatives by the three provinces involved, Iran's Department of the Environment and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to develop solutions for the government to implement. | Ireo ezaka hafa dia ahitàna ny fandraisana andraikir'ireo faritany telo voakasik'izany, ny Departemanta momba ny tontolo iainana ao Iran ary ny Fandaharan'asan'ny Firenena Mikambana Ho an'ny Fampandrosoana (PNUD) mba hikatsahana vahaolana ho ampiharin'ny governemanta. |
15 | A meeting held in March of 2014 between these forces resulted in a 11-point action plan involving numerous institutions of Iran's government, including a campaign of national awareness. | Fivoriana iray natao tamin'ny Martsa 2014 teo amin'ireo hery rehetra ireo no niafara taminà teboka 11 ho tanterahana, handraisan'ireo andrim-panjakana samihafa ao amin'ny governemanta ao Iran anjara, tafiditra amin'izany ny fanentanana iray hanerana ny firenena manontolo. |
16 | Other efforts include a 2 million dollar grant by the government of Japan to UNDP Iran to aid the restoration of the lake (the second phase of the grant was renewed this past March). | Ny ezaka hafa dia ahitàna ny fanolorana 2 tapitrisa dolara nataon'ny governemanta Japoney ho an'ny PNUD ao Iran hanampiana ny famerenana amin'ny laoniny ilay farihy (navaozina tamin'ny Martsa lasa teo ny ampahany faharoa taminìilay fanampiana). |
17 | The most recent remark about the Urmia situation was from the dean for environmental protection in Eastern Azerbaijan, Hamid Ghasemi, who told ISNA news agency: “The average rainfall in the province from the beginning of the month of Mehr (mid-September) was 215.3 mm” [until the end of Esfand, or mid-March], compared to last year's rainfall of 117.1 mm.” | Ny fanamarihana akaiky indrindra momba ny toe-draharaha mahakasika ny farihy Urmia dia avy amin'ny loholon'ny fiarovana ny tontolo iainana ao Atsinanan'i Azerbaijan, Hamid Ghasemi, izay niteny tamin'ny masoivohom-baovao ISNA hoe: “Ny salanisan'ny rotsakorana tao amin'ilay faritany hatramin'ny niantombohan'ny volana Mehr (tapaky ny Septambra) dia 215.3 mm” [mandra-pahatapitry ny Esfand, na tapaky ny Martsa], raha ampitahaina amin'ny rotsakorana 117. 1mm tamin'ny taona lasa” |
18 | Despite the increase in precipitation, Ghasemi noted that water levels and lake volume had not changed from previous years. | Na teo aza ny fitomboan'ny rotsakorana, nomarihan'i Ghasemi fa tsy nanova ny haavo sy ny hadirin'ny rano tao amin'ny farihy izany raha miohatra aminìny taona teo aloha. |
19 | Ghasemi emphasized that the way towards “improving the water level situation” lay in increased precipitation alongside the redirecting of water from major dams in the area. | Notsindrian'i Ghasemi fa ny fomba irosoana mankany amin'ny “fanatsaràna ny haavon'ny rano” dia miankina amin'ny fitomboan'ny rotsakorana manerana ireo sakelidrano mameno ireo tohodrano lehibe ao amin'ny faritra. |
20 | He also noted the importance about creating awareness of the lake's conditions among local villages next to the lake, catering the campaigns to the local languages. | Nomarihany ihany koa ny maha-zava-dehibe ny fanaovana fanentanana momba ny toe-draharaha ao amin'ilay farihy ho an'ireo vohitra eny an-toerana manakaiky ilay farihy, fametrahana ireny fanentanana ireny amin'ny fitenin'ny ao an-toerana. |
