32) Zavattariornis stresemanni; Abisyniak, Stresemann's bushcrow (wrona Stresemanna), Abyssinian pie (sroka abisyńska), bush crow (wrona krzaczasta), Ethiopian bushcrow (wrona etiopska) - gatunek średniej wielkości ptaka z rodziny krukowatych (Corvidae). Występuje endemicznie na południu Etiopii, zasiedlając niewielki obszar wzdłuż jednego z pasm Wyżyny Abisyńskiej. Zagrożony wyginięciem ze względu na ocieplanie się klimatu i niewielki areał występowania.

Po raz pierwszy gatunek opisał w 1938 Edgardo Moltoni. Do dziś jest uznawany za gatunek monotypowy. Wątpliwości budziła natomiast jego przynależność systematyczna. Od czasu jego opisania umieszczano go w kilku różnych rodzinach wróblowych. Od dłuższego czasu zalicza się go do rodziny krukowatych, w monotypowym rodzaju Zavattariornis. Analizy DNA potwierdziły słuszność umiejscowienia abisyniaka wśród Corvidae, a wśród najbliższych krewnych wymienia się naziemne sójki z rodzaju Podoces oraz kruczka (z rodzaju Ptilostomus). Dalsze pokrewieństwo łączy go ze srokami. Być może abisyniak jest żyjącym przedstawicielem przodka tych kilku rodzajów. Niemniej kilka nietypowych cech, jak naga, ruchoma skóra twarzy, budowa podniebienia czy rodzaj pasożytujących na nich wszy powodowało, że część badaczy umieszczała abisyniaka w rodzinie szpakowatych (Sturnidae) lub wydzielała do samodzielnej rodziny Zavattariornithidae. Holotyp pochodzi z Etiopii i znajduje się obecnie w Muzeum Historii Naturalnej w Mediolanie, gdzie po wojnie pracował Edgardo Moltoni. Obydwa człony nazwy upamiętniają znanych ornitologów: nazwa rodzajowa Zavattariornis nadana została na cześć Edoarda Zavattariego, włoskiego zoologa i odkrywcy, który w latach 1935–1958 był dyrektorem Instytutu Zoologicznego Uniwersytetu Rzymskiego; natomiast epitet gatunkowy stresemanni upamiętnia niemieckiego ornitologa Erwina Stresemanna.

Obszar występowania abisyniaka jest ograniczony do niewielkiego terenu w południowej części Wyżyny Abisyńskiej w okolicach miast Yabelo i Mega w Strefie Borena na południu regionu Oromia. Znaczna część populacji znajduje się na obszarze chronionym Yabelo Wildlife Sanctuary. Notowany na wysokości od 1300 do 1800 m n.p.m. Niewielki zasięg występowania jest związany z wymaganiami klimatycznymi gatunku, a obszar, na którym występuje, to zaledwie 2400 km², przy czym szacuje się, że obszary o odpowiednim dla niego klimacie i roślinności nie przekraczają łącznie 4500 km².

Występuje na obszarach otwartej sawanny, porastanej przez drzewa i zarośla z głównie z rodzaju balsamowiec i akacja. Najlepiej jeśli zarośla te znajdują się w sąsiedztwie pól uprawnych. Nie toleruje zbyt wysokich temperatur, dlatego nie zapuszcza się na niżej położone obszary, gdzie średnia temperatura roczna jest wyższa. Preferuje też bardziej suche, trawiaste podłoże, na którym żeruje, dlatego zasięg występowania ograniczają od północy bardziej wilgotne, zalesione stoki Wyżyny Abisyńskiej. Nie stroni od ludzi i jest pospolita w pobliżu siedzib ludzkich. Żywi się głównie stawonogami i ich larwami wygrzebywanymi z gruntu i odchodów, ale łapie również owady latające i zbiera pasożyty z bydła. Poza sezonem lęgowym żeruje stadnie. Wykazuje szereg zachowań społecznych, w tym zabawę, wzajemne czyszczenie piór, karmienie się i wspólne gniazdowanie. Podczas żerowania niektóre osobniki pełnią role strażników i ostrzegają inne przed niebezpieczeństwem.

IUCN uznaje abisyniaka za gatunek zagrożony (EN, Endangered) od 2005. Wcześniej, w latach 1994–2004 posiadał status gatunku narażonego (VU, Vulnerable). Zmiana statusu nastąpiła po badaniach populacji, które wykazały, że w latach 1989–2003 jego liczebność na obszarze Yabelo Wildlife Sanctuary zmalała aż o 80 %. Na podstawie obserwacji gniazd i obszaru, na którym notuje się występowanie abisyniaków, ich liczebność szacowano w 2012 pomiędzy 10 a 20 tys. dorosłych osobników, ale mogą to być szacunki zawyżone. Niewielki obszar występowania, ograniczony do chłodniejszych i jednocześnie suchych terenów wyżyny jest dużym wyzwaniem dla ochrony gatunku. Ocieplanie się klimatu, pożary i aktywność ludzka stanowią zagrożenie dla stabilności preferowanych przez abisyniaka habitatów. Szczególnie niebezpieczne są zmiany w kulturze rolnej – luźny wypas zwierząt zastąpiła teraz skondensowana i osiadła hodowla oraz przemysłowe uprawy, np. kukurydzy. Zmniejsza to możliwości żerowania abisyniaków, które potrzebują luźnej, bogatej w larwy chrząszczy gleby.

"But now, this is what the LORD says…"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."

Isaiah 43:1-2

FAITH IN THE MIDST OF ASHES

Twenty-eight-year-old evangelist Wako Halekie works in the town of Tuka Argiso in the border area between Ethiopia and Kenya. This small town is mostly inhabited by Borena livestock herders and is effectively divided between Oromia and Somali regional states. As a result both states are claiming ownership over Tuka Argiso. The federal government tried to hold a referendum to resolve the dispute, but they were unsuccessful.

Three years ago, Wako Halekie was assigned by his church to work as a missionary among the livestock herders in Tuka-Argiso. Despite their nomadic existence, Wako was able to plant three churches with an average of fifty members in each congregation. He attributes the positive growth to God’s blessing on the ministry. But Islamic presence in Tuka-Argiso is growing progressively. Muslim missionaries from neighbouring villages are determined to Islamise all Borenas which rouses concern in the Christian community.

Wako says, “They regard my activities as an obstacle to their mission. I was alerted by some villagers about their antagonistic feelings towards me. Recently the Muslim missionaries criticised the Christian faith openly and tried to confuse our members.”

On March 30th, 2011, Wako left home for a routine visit to new Christian converts. In the early morning hours of March 31st, one of the three houses at his residence was set afire. The fire spread to the second and third house where his wife, new-born baby and their two older children were sleeping. Both the first and second house burnt to the ground. By the grace of God neighbours managed to rescue Wako’s family from the blaze just in time before the third house’s roof crashed in. None of their belongings were spared.

Mrs. Haleki said, “I heard a distant noise but thought I was dreaming. The next thing I knew, people broke through the door and dragged me and the children from the smoke. I was shocked and speechless.” She was still recovering from the birth of their third child a week before.

Wako says, “I know the purpose of this fire was to destroy me and my family. But God intervened and saved my wife and children. God is faithful to His words! As it was written in the book of Isaiah 43:1-3; we will not fear their threats. God is our Redeemer. They thought I would leave the village, but I will not wave from the calling God bestowed on me. I took my wife’s hands and together we stood in the midst of the ashes and gave thanks to the name of the Lord. By His grace I will continue serving Him right here in this village until the day He has helped me reach the entire village.”

Response

Today I will trust God to fulfil His promises even when going through fire and flood.

Prayer

Pray for Evangelist Wako and his family working in difficult circumstances and pressures.

Crisi climatica in Etiopia: siccità estrema e malnutrizione

«In Etiopia è in corso una delle peggiori siccità degli ultimi 40 anni. Cinque stagioni consecutive di pioggia saltate stanno portando il Paese in uno stato di emergenza umanitaria drammatico, che sta colpendo l’intero Corno D’Africa. Da un lato un periodo da record in stato di siccità, dall’altro le recenti devastanti alluvioni che hanno colpito almeno 36 milioni di persone in Etiopia, Kenya, Somalia. Un “paradosso climatico”, considerando che l’intero continente africano contribuisce per appena il 4% alle emissioni di gas serra globali, che alimentano l’emergenza». A lanciare l’allarme è Fondazione CESVI, che interviene proprio in Etiopia dal 2021 con progetti per rafforzare la resilienza della popolazione agli shock di tipo naturale e migratorio interno e per contrastare la crisi climatica. Crisi climatica in Etiopia, cos succede nel resto del mondo? La crisi climatica non risparmia nessuno, nemmeno l’Europa, con milioni di persone colpite da eventi estremi. Nel 2023 le temperature sono state sopra la media per 11 mesi, con livelli record a settembre, caratterizzato da un boom di giornate di caldo estremo, aumentando la mortalità legata al calore del 20% rispetto a 20 anni prima. In parallelo, le piogge sono aumentate del 7%, facendo salire il livello dei fiumi in modo allarmante o facendoli esondare, come in Emilia-Romagna, dove CESVI è intervenuta in risposta agli allagamenti del maggio 2023, costati la vita a 16 persone e causando più di 23 mila sfollati. L’Italia sperimenta però anche la siccità, come in Sicilia, dove sono stati dichiarati lo stato d’emergenza e il razionamento dell’acqua. Il Corno d'Africa Nell’area allargata del Corno d'Africa (GHoA) l’aumento dei disastri legati al cambiamento climatico, unito a povertà, instabilità e conflitti, oltre a causare un numero imprecisato di morti e centinaia di migliaia di sfollati, ha fatto sì che nella regione si concentri ormai il 22% dei bisogni umanitari del mondo. Sono quasi 50 milioni le persone in condizioni d’insicurezza alimentare acuta (IPC3+), fra cui almeno 10,8 milioni di bambini sotto i 5 anni d’età, numero destinato ad aumentare ancora. Secondo l’Indice globale della fame (GHI) 2023, diffuso da CESVI, in Somalia la situazione è estremamente allarmante, mentre in Etiopia e Kenya è grave. In questo contesto aumenta il rischio di epidemie, soprattutto nelle zone inondate dove l’acqua potabile non solo scarseggia, ma viene contaminata. Inoltre, la drammatica situazione ha fatto salire a 23milioni i rifugiati e gli sfollati interni nel Corno d’Africa e Regione dei grandi laghi, con i numeri più alti proprio in Etiopia, Uganda, Sudan e Somalia. In Etiopia oltre 21milioni di persone necessitano di aiuti, fra cui quasi 16 milioni per insicurezza alimentare, e l’Onu stima che 2,4 milioni di bambini sotto i 5 anni e 1,3 milioni di donne incinte o in allattamento abbiano bisogno di trattamenti contro la malnutrizione acuta. In un paese dove il 91% della popolazione vive in aree rurali e il mezzo di sostentamento più diffuso è la pastorizia, dal 2021 la siccità più grave della storia recente ha portato cinque stagioni delle piogge consecutive pressoché prive di precipitazioni. Attività della Fondazione CESVI Centinaia di migliaia di persone sono sfollate e la ripresa richiederà tra i 5 e gli 8 anni per chi ha perso tutto, come le comunità agro-pastorali. Nell'area di Borena, nell’Oromia, tra le più colpite dalla mancanza d’acqua, CESVI è attiva dal 2021.Le comunità di pastori dell’area negli ultimi anni hanno visto stravolgere la propria vita: l’80% dei capi di bestiame, che prima davano cibo e sostentamento alla popolazione, oggi è scomparso a causa dell’assenza quasi totale dell’acqua, alla cui ricerca e raccolta è oggi orientata l’esistenza degli abitanti. È possibile sostenere questo intervento attraverso una raccolta fondi aperta su GoFundMe con l’obiettivo di aiutare la comunità di Borena e contrastare la malnutrizione infantile che colpisce le famiglie più vulnerabili. Le conseguenze della crisi climatica in Etiopia e nel resto dell'Africa In Somalia siccità e inondazioni si alternano e hanno portato il Paese sull’orlo della carestia, spingendo dal 2021 lontano dalle proprie case 1,5 milioni di persone, uccidendo migliaia di animali, e il numero di sfollati è salito a oltre 2,6 milioni. Nel 2023, poi, le piogge hanno portato acqua, ma anche devastanti inondazioni, colpendo 2 milioni di abitanti e spingendo oltre 750mila a muoversi. Il livello di malnutrizione in Somalia è gravissimo, mentre le strade sono interrotte e i villaggi isolati, scuole e ospedali chiusi, il rischio di malattie è cresciuto. CESVI interviene nel Paese attraverso progetti sanitari con centri di salute e cliniche mobili dove prevenire e trattare la malnutrizione. In Kenya, segnato di recente da forti piogge e conseguenti inondazioni, almeno 267 persone sono morte, 280mila sono sfollate e 380mila colpite. Gli allagamenti hanno ucciso decine di migliaia di animali e distrutto campi coltivati, aziende, infrastrutture, fonti d’acqua. Foto di Clker-Free-Vector-Images da Pixabay Read the full article

SERVICE MARCH- FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND FINAL CHOICE (16.03.23)

My friend introduced to me another way to do service online. It was a website where volunteers choose a task - a specific area (usually rural areas which went through a disaster eg. recent Turkey earthquake). And then mark on the map (image made by satellite) roads, forests and buildings. The importance is that such volunteering allows medical care and humanitarian aid to each people in need.

My first tasks that I did was for a district in Africa called Borena. This project is essential in improving the resilience of Oromia against droughts and ensuring that the region’s extremity does not lead to mass displacement.

The reason I decided to participate in this service is that I view it was highly important for the humanity. I contribute to help those in need globally.

After the first task I feel like I’m doing something important for the humanity and I really saw how hard it could be for humanitarian aid to reach such small villages in the middle of nowhere.
