ISonora ivikela indawo okuthi, kude nokuthi ingahlali muntu, ingenye yezindawo ezicebile kakhulu kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo: iPinacate kanye noGwadule Olukhulu Lwe-altare. Zibophezele ukuhlangana naye!
Ngokuphikisana nalokho abaningi abakucabangayo, yindawo enokuphila okuchichimayo, lapho umuntu wanamuhla esebenzisa ulwazi nemikhuba esetshenziselwe izinkulungwane zeminyaka ngamaqembu omdabu ahlala esifundeni.
Ngokukhanya kokuqala kokusa okufudumele, amagquma anesihlabathi akude athatha umbala omuhle wegolide: ayizindunduma ezihlaba umxhwele eziseningizimu ye-El Pinacate naseGran Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve ... lapho siya khona esifundazweni saseSonora.
Ekuseni kakhulu sasuka ePuerto Peñasco, idolobha lokudoba elalikhethwa yizinkulungwane zezivakashi ezivela ezweni elingumakhelwane lase-Arizona; uhambo lusuka eningizimu luye enyakatho, futhi amakhilomitha ambalwa ngaphambi kokufika ekungeneni kwezindawo zokugcina izinto, entshonalanga, ukufinyelela ezindundumeni. Imoto esihamba ngayo iphakeme, ilungele ukuhamba lo mgwaqo owubhuqu ongamakhilomitha ayi-8 nje, oholela ethafeni elizungezwe ukugeleza kodaka olumnyama; ukusuka lapho kufanele uhambe ngendlela enesihlabathi esisondeza eduze nenhloso yethu.
Ngaphansi kwezindunduma, cishe amamitha ayi-100 ukuphakama, siqala ukwenyuka. Njengoba uqhubekela phambili futhi ubheka emuva elangeni eliphumayo, imisebe yalo yasekuseni ekhanya emuva iguqula isihlabathi umbala omhlophe ogqamile. Phezulu ubujamo abupheli, futhi imigqa engaconsi phansi yelula njengezimbambo ezihlanganayo nezinkalo, yakha amaphupho amahle anombala wegolide.
Buqamama, ngasenyakatho, indawo yezwe yakhiwa ngumfanekiso wentaba-mlilo iSanta Clara noma i-El Pinacate, enamamitha ayi-1,200 ngaphezu kogu lolwandle, kuyilapho entshonalanga umhlaba onesihlabathi omkhulu woGwadule Olukhulu Lwe-altare uqhubeka, naseningizimu kukhona qaphela umugqa omncane woLwandle lwaseCortez.
Isibhakabhaka esijulile esiluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka sisikhumbuza ukuthi muva nje, ngezimvula, phansi ogwadule, futhi ikakhulukazi izindunduma zesihlabathi, bathole ubuhle besikhashana bengadi yezimbali zasendle ngomata omncane okhanyise ububende bezwe izinsuku ezimbalwa .
SEMIDESIERTO CISHE INYANGA ASPECT
Ukuvakasha kwale ndawo evikelekile engama-714 556 ha, eyakhiwe ngoJuni 10, 1993, kulula kakhulu, kufanele sibhalise kuphela kubalondolozi bepaki esangweni lesiqiwi, ngoba iyindawo enkulu futhi kungcono ukwazi ukuthi ikuphi izivakashi zihamba ngezinyawo. Ukungena okusemqoka kanye namahhovisi esiqiwi atholakala eLos Norteños ejido, eduze komgwaqo omkhulu weSonoyta-Puerto Peñasco, ku-km 52. Eduzane nokuheha okuphawuleka kakhulu kwesiqiwu: izigaxa zentaba-mlilo nemigodi , phakathi kwayo kukhona nenhle, i-El Tecolote neCerro Colorado.
Ukuze wazi lezi zingosi, ezicishe zibonakale ngokuthwasa kwenyanga, kubalulekile ukuhamba ngemoto efanelekile; Thina, sibonga ukwesekwa okubalulekile kwabasebenzi besiqiwi, sikwazile ukusebenzisa iveni yamasondo amane.
Indlela yamatshe izungezwe amakhadibhodi, ama-saguaros, ama-choyas nama-mesquite, i-palo verde kanye nezihlahlana ze-ironwood. Endleleni sibona ukugeleza kodaka lwedwala namatshe amnyama athatha ukwakheka okungenanqondo; ebangeni kugqame ukuphakama nezigaxa ezisikiwe zezintaba-mlilo ezingasekho, njengeCerro Colorado, umbala wayo obomvu ubonakala engxenyeni engezansi yamafu aseduze.
Ngokombono wokuma komhlaba, le ndawo iyamangaza, inenqwaba yezintaba-mlilo zentaba-mlilo, izakhiwo zamadwala angajwayelekile nezinsalela zodaka ezihlanganisa izindawo ezinkulu. Njengoba siwele imigwaqo eminingana, le ndawo esehlane laseSonoran eyaziwa ngokuthi i-El Pinacate, ibizwa ngegama layo, ngokusho kwabanye, ibhungane elincane elinombala omnyama oshubile ogcwele kula mazwe; kodwa enye inguqulo eyamukelwa kabanzi ibhekisa ekufaneni kwephrofayili yeSierra Santa Clara nalesi sinambuzane esishiwo.
Mhlawumbe okuheha kakhulu lapha yi-El Elegant crater, evakashelwa kunazo zonke ngoba izimoto zingafinyelela cishe emaphethelweni ayo. Uma usuka phezulu ungabona ngokucacile ububanzi bayo obungu-1,600 m nobubanzi obuyi-250 m bomgodi wayo omkhulu ophakathi nendawo. Ukufika lapho kuyadingeka ukuhamba amakhilomitha angama-25 omgwaqo omuhle we-rustic; Amakhilomitha ayi-7 nje ukusuka lapho kukhona iCerro El Tecolote, neCerro Colorado ingaphansi kwamakhilomitha ayi-10. Ngesikhathi sohambo ungathola abagibeli bomgwaqo, amajuba, oklebe, izinyoka, amahares, ama-coyotes nezinyamazane, futhi, kwesinye isikhathi, eduze kwezintaba, kuyenzeka ubone izimvu ezinkulu kanye ne-pronghorn, enesiphephelo esiphephile lapha.
Kusukela esiqongweni esiphakeme ngokubomvu se-El Tecolote, buqamama ungabona amathafa aluhlaza akhombisa amadwala nokuphakama kwezimo nobukhulu obuhlukahlukene; Eduze, ama-saguaros namakhadikhadi ane-spiky afana nonogada emithambekeni yamagquma, kuyilapho i-ocotillo inyusela imigqa yezimbali ezibomvu esibhakabhakeni.
Eduze kwesisekelo se-El Tecolote, isigodi esincane sikulungele ukukhempa futhi usuke lapho uye olwandle olubanzi lwezingcezu zodaka lapho kuhlala khona i-saguaro, noma ukhuphuke uye endaweni ephakeme enamatshe ukucabanga ngokushona kwelanga okuhlobisa isibhakabhaka ngamathoni abomvu namawolintshi, kuqhathaniswa nombala omnyama weSierra Santa Clara eseduze.
Njengasezindundumeni, kubalulekile ukuhlala ngaphakathi kwemizila esunguliwe, ngoba ngokusuka kuyo, umuntu angalahlekelwa noma athinte izinhlobo zezitshalo ezihlukile noma izinsalela zemivubukulo yamaPapagos omdabu, asenqamule le ndawo izinkulungwane zeminyaka uhambo oluya eLwandle lwaseCortez futhi kushiye ubufakazi obuningi bokuhamba kwabo kule ndawo, njengezihloko zemicibisholo, izinsalela zobumba nemidwebo emadwaleni. Sekuyiminyaka eyizinkulungwane, la maqembu esejwayele imijikelezo yemvelo yasogwadule, futhi ukuze asinde asebenzise izinsiza ezahlukahlukene awanikeza zona, njengesithelo se-saguaro nezitshalo zokwelapha, ama-yucca notshani ukwenza izingubo zabo, njenge izidumbu zamanzi ahlanzekile namanzi emvula agcinwe ezitsheni ezinamadwala ezisezindleleni zawo zendabuko.
Ugwadule iSonoran, oluhlala ngaphezu kwengxenye yombuso futhi lwabiwe yi-Arizona, California neziqhingi zoLwandle lwaseCortez, lungenye yezine ezibaluleke kakhulu eNyakatho Melika futhi luvelele njengoluyinkimbinkimbi kunayo yonke ngezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo kanye nokwakheka komhlaba okuthakazelisayo. Kuyisimo semvelo esincane esigcine ngokuthola inkontileka futhi sanda ngenkathi yokugcina yeqhwa, eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane eziyishumi eyedlule, futhi kuthiwa ihlane elisentshonalanga ngenxa yezimbali zalo ezahlukahlukene, lapho i-El Pinacate ivelele khona ngezinhlobo zayo zezitshalo ezingaba ngu-600 ezibhalisiwe.
Siyazi ukuthi kufanele sifunde ukuhlala ogwadule hhayi ngokumelene nalo, futhi manje kufanele silisebenzise kuphela ukuze lingaguquli amandla alo okuvuselela ... futhi sizinakekele thina uqobo.
