Magulu oteteza zachilengedwe, omwe akhala akukangana kwa zaka zambiri ndi Environmental Protection Agency, magulu a alimi ndi ena pankhani yoteteza zamoyo zomwe zikutha kuthamankhwala ophera tizilombo, nthawi zambiri amalandira njira imeneyi ndi thandizo la magulu a alimi pankhaniyi.
Ndondomekoyi siipereka zofunikira zatsopano kwa alimi ndi ogwiritsa ntchito mankhwala ophera tizilombo, koma ikupereka malangizo omwe EPA idzawaganizira polembetsa mankhwala atsopano ophera tizilombo kapena kulembetsanso mankhwala ophera tizilombo omwe ali kale pamsika, bungweli linatero mu nkhani yofalitsidwa.
Bungwe la EPA linasintha njira zingapo potengera ndemanga zochokera ku magulu a minda, madipatimenti a zaulimi a boma ndi mabungwe azachilengedwe.
Makamaka, bungweli lawonjezera mapulogalamu atsopano ochepetsa kufalikira kwa mankhwala ophera tizilombo, madzi othamanga m'madzi, komanso kukokoloka kwa nthaka. Njirayi imachepetsa mtunda pakati pa malo okhala mitundu yomwe ili pangozi ndi malo ophera mankhwala ophera tizilombo pazochitika zina, monga pamene alimi agwiritsa ntchito njira zochepetsera madzi othamanga, alimi ali m'madera omwe madziwo sakukhudzidwa, kapena alimi akutenga njira zina zochepetsera kufalikira kwa mankhwala ophera tizilombo. Njirayi imasinthanso deta ya mitundu ya nyama zopanda mafupa zomwe zimakhala m'minda. EPA yati ikukonzekera kuwonjezera njira zochepetsera mtsogolo ngati pakufunika kutero.
"Tapeza njira zanzeru zosungira zamoyo zomwe zili pangozi zomwe sizimaika mavuto ochulukirapo kwa opanga omwe amadalira zidazi pazachuma chawo ndipo ndizofunikira kwambiri kuti chakudya chikhale chotetezeka komanso chokwanira," adatero Lee Zeldin, Woyang'anira EPA, polengeza nkhani. "Tadzipereka kuonetsetsa kuti alimi ali ndi zida zomwe amafunikira kuti ateteze dziko lathu, makamaka chakudya chathu, ku tizilombo ndi matenda."
Magulu a alimi omwe amaimira opanga mbewu zogulitsa monga chimanga, soya, thonje ndi mpunga adalandira njira yatsopanoyi.
"Mwa kusintha mtunda wa malo osungira zinthu, kusintha njira zochepetsera mavuto, ndikuzindikira zoyesayesa zosamalira chilengedwe, njira yatsopanoyi idzalimbikitsa chitetezo cha chilengedwe popanda kuyika pachiwopsezo chitetezo cha chakudya, chakudya, ndi ulusi wa dziko lathu," adatero Patrick Johnson Jr., mlimi wa thonje ku Mississippi komanso purezidenti wa National Cotton Council, mu lipoti la EPA.
Madipatimenti a zaulimi a boma ndi Dipatimenti ya zaulimi ku US nawonso adayamikira njira ya EPA m'nkhani yomweyi.
Ponseponse, akatswiri oteteza zachilengedwe akusangalala kuti makampani a zaulimi avomereza kuti zofunikira za lamulo la Species of Aristed Act zikugwira ntchito pa malamulo okhudza mankhwala ophera tizilombo. Magulu a alimi akhala akulimbana ndi zofunikira zimenezo kwa zaka zambiri.
“Ndikusangalala kuona gulu lalikulu kwambiri lolimbikitsa zaulimi ku America likuyamikira khama la EPA lokhazikitsa lamulo la Species Offensive Act ndikuchitapo kanthu mwanzeru kuti titeteze zomera ndi zinyama zathu zomwe zili pachiwopsezo kwambiri ku mankhwala ophera tizilombo oopsa,” anatero Laurie Ann Byrd, mkulu wa Environmental Protection Program ku Center for Biological Diversity. “Ndikukhulupirira kuti njira yomaliza yophera tizilombo idzakhala yolimba, ndipo tidzagwira ntchito kuti titsimikizire kuti chitetezo champhamvu chikuphatikizidwa mu zisankho zamtsogolo zokhudzana ndi kugwiritsa ntchito njira imeneyi ku mankhwala enaake. Koma thandizo la alimi pakuyesetsa kuteteza zamoyo zomwe zili pachiwopsezo ku mankhwala ophera tizilombo ndi sitepe yofunika kwambiri.”
Magulu azachilengedwe akhala akuimba mlandu EPA mobwerezabwereza, ponena kuti imagwiritsa ntchito mankhwala ophera tizilombo omwe angawononge zamoyo zomwe zili pangozi kapena malo okhala popanda kufunsa bungwe la Fish and Wildlife Service ndi National Marine Fisheries Service. M'zaka khumi zapitazi, bungwe la EPA lagwirizana m'mapangano angapo azamalamulo kuti liwunikire mankhwala angapo ophera tizilombo kuti awone ngati angawononge zamoyo zomwe zili pangozi. Pakadali pano bungweli likugwira ntchito yomaliza kuwunikako.
Mwezi watha, bungwe la Environmental Protection Agency linalengeza zochita zingapo zomwe cholinga chake ndi kuteteza zamoyo zomwe zatsala pang'ono kutheratu ku mankhwala ophera tizilombo otchedwa carbaryl carbamate. Nathan Donley, mkulu wa sayansi yosamalira zachilengedwe ku Center for Biological Diversity, anati zochitazi “zichepetsa zoopsa zomwe mankhwala ophera tizilombo oopsawa amabweretsa ku zomera ndi nyama zomwe zatsala pang'ono kutheratu ndipo zipereka malangizo omveka bwino kwa anthu akulima mafakitale momwe angagwiritsire ntchito mankhwalawa.”
Donley anati zomwe bungwe la EPA lachita posachedwapa poteteza zamoyo zomwe zatsala pang'ono kutheratu ku mankhwala ophera tizilombo ndi nkhani yabwino. "Njira imeneyi yakhala ikuchitika kwa zaka zoposa khumi, ndipo anthu ambiri okhudzidwa agwira ntchito limodzi kwa zaka zambiri kuti ayambitse. Palibe amene akusangalala nazo 100 peresenti, koma zikugwira ntchito, ndipo aliyense akugwira ntchito limodzi," adatero. "Palibe kulowererapo kwa ndale pakadali pano, zomwe zikulimbikitsa kwambiri."
