ʻO KA SERRANA PARAKEET MA CHIHUAHUA

Send

I kēia manawa ʻaʻole mākou i mahalo i nā pūnaewele archaeological a i ʻole nā awāwa kaulana o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Chihuahua, akā ua ʻimi mākou i kekahi o nā ʻano kakaikahi loa o nā kāʻā o ko mākou ʻāina.

Aia ʻo Madera ma ka wāwae o ka mauna mauna me ka waiwai nui o nā lāʻau a me nā koena archaeological ma Chihuahua. Ua noho ʻia kēia ʻāpana no 1,500 mau makahiki e nā poʻe kūkulu akamai o "nā hale pali", he poʻe ʻimi hipa a me nā mea hōʻuluʻulu kūloko, a hoʻololi iki i ko lākou nohona (ma kahi o 1,000 BC). ʻO kēia mau pūʻulu ka mea mua e hopu a hānai i nā ʻoka mauna (malia paha no ka nui o nā plumage), e like me nā koena archaeological i loaʻa ma Paquimé.

Nui ke ola hihiu ma kēia wahi a ma aneʻi hiki ke loaʻa, ma waena o ʻApelila a ʻOkakopa, ka Western Mountain Parakeet (Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha), kahi manu i ka makaʻu o ka make ʻana. ʻO kekahi mau kilomita komohana komohana o ke kaona ʻo Madera, hana ʻia kahi wahi pūnana o nā pine, nā ʻoka, alamillos a me nā lāʻau strawberry; He wahi ia me ke aniau akahai no ka hapa nui o ka makahiki a me nā ua i nā mahina kau wela, kahi e makemake ai i ke ola ʻana o nā mea kanu i mālama pono ʻia, ʻoiai ua hoʻokaʻawale ka ejidatarios o Largo Maderal i ka 700 hectares no ka mālama ʻana ma kahi e pale ai kā lākou wahi e hoʻomoe ai.

Nā ala lāʻau kahiko

I nā lā hope o ke kauwela, ke ala lepo a mākou i huakaʻi iki ai lilo i mau kahawai i kekahi manawa i holo i kēlā me kēia ala i paʻi ʻia e nā kaʻa, akā aia he mau haneli mau mika kahi i lilo ke kahawai holoʻokoʻa i kahawai. E hele pulu ana a pulu hoʻi ka ʻāina. Ua hoʻomau ke ala i ka piʻi i luna, me nā ʻolokaʻa ololi i piʻi aʻe i ka ʻāina pali. Ua ukali kekahi pae mauna i kekahi, ua hala mākou i kekahi mau holoholona pipi semi-haʻalele, kokoke mākou i ka piko o ke kiʻekiʻena kiʻekiʻe ma ka ʻaoʻao komohana o ka mauna, a ma kahi mamao ua mahalo mākou i nā ʻāina polū e puʻuhonua i nā "kūlanakauhale pali" nunui e like me El Embudo . Ma laila mākou e neʻe ai ma nā alanui i ka hoʻomaka o ke kenekulia i hala i huakaʻi kahi kaʻaahi e hemo i ka wahie.

ʻO ka pūnana o ka parakeet mauna

Kekahi mau kilomita ma hope o ka hala ʻana i ka hale hānai hope loa i hoʻouka ʻia e kahi māla nui o nā mirasols, ua hōʻea mākou i kahi pali kokoke i luna. Ua haʻalele mākou i ke ala e hāhai i ke kahawai, a he 300 mau mika wale nō ka mamao, ua lohe mākou i ka halulu o kahi kakini mau kakini. I ka ʻike ʻana i ko mākou alo, hoʻomaka ka poʻe mākua e lele i ka semicircles ma luna o nā kumulāʻau kahi o ko lākou pūnana. Aia kahi āpau o nā kumulāʻau keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo, a hiki i 40 mika ke kiʻekiʻe, e hoʻokūkū ana i ka kukui, he mau kia. Holo ka wai i loko o nā moʻo a me nā ferns, ke ʻike mākou i ka mea kanu nunui ʻole loa o ka ʻāina, ka palaoa ʻona, kahi mea kanu lau nahele e ulu wale ana i nā wahi kai a me nā kiʻo kiʻekiʻe.

No laila, i ka hopena ua ʻike mākou i kekahi mau pā ʻelua e kau ana ma luna o nā kumulāʻau ʻekolu me nā lālā maloʻo, me he mea lā he mau moa lākou i haʻalele i ka pūnana a ke hoʻomākaukau nei e hoʻomaka i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana. Aia mākou ma 2,700 mau mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai a hoʻomau mākou i ka kaʻa kokoke i ka hapalua kilomita i luna, a hiki i kahi pae o nā kaula nui aʻe. I kēia manawa ʻike mākou i nā manu ʻuwā ʻē, he nui nā ʻaka makua e kiaʻi i nā moa; Ua lele kekahi mai kekahi lālā a kahi lālā, a ʻo kekahi poʻe e noho ana malalo o ka puka o ka pūnana a i ʻole nā nahu ʻana i nā lālā a me nā kumu. Ua ʻaʻahu lākou i ko lākou mau hiʻohiona kūʻokoʻa a me nā kukuna o ka lā i kānana ʻia i loko, i ʻae iā mākou e mahalo i ka ʻulaʻula nui o ko lākou piko a me ko lākou poʻohiwi, a me ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo ikaika o ko lākou kino. No nā ʻoka, ʻo Kepakemapa ʻo ia hoʻi kokoke i ka hopena o ke kau pūnana, e neʻe lākou i ka hema, i nā ululāʻau coniferous o Michoacán mehana.

Hele iki mākou mai kahi o ka pūnana, kahi a nā biologists a me nā conservationist i hana ai i nā noiʻi e pili ana i ke kūlana o ka heluna kanaka, a ma kēia wahi aia ma waena o 50 a 60 mau pūnana. Maʻaneʻi palekana ia, no ka mea ʻaʻole i unuhi hou ʻia ka wahie, ʻaʻohe hana kūpono e hoʻokō ʻia a paʻakikī ʻole ʻia e kipa ʻia. Ma kēia ala ua maopopo iā mākou e hoʻomau mākou e lohe i ka leo o nā leo uē a me nā leo uē o kēia mau manu nani no nā makahiki he nui.
