Abavuzi gakondo n’abakunda ibimera mu rugamba rwo kurengera ubumenyi gakondo n’ibidukikije mu Rwanda

Mu misozi ya Rukira, mu Ntara y’Iburasirazuba, Angelique Nyirantwari, umugore w’imyaka 55, arakata urubabi rw’igihingwa bita igisura (Urtica massaica) mu murima we, abigenza bucece nk’umuntu uzi ko buri giti ari umuti. Kuri we, ubuzima n’ubuvuzi bishingiye ku bimera ni isomo ridashira. Avuga ati: “Buri giti ni umuti. Imana yaduhaye ibimera ku buntu, abantu n’amatungo byose bikabyungukiramo.”

Yatangiye kwiga ubuvuzi afite imyaka itandatu, abifashijwemo na se wamwigishije kubimenya no kubitegura. Ku myaka 10 yari azi kuvura indwara akoresheje ibimera bitandukanye. Nubwo yigeze kujyanwa kwa muganga nyuma yo kurumwa n’inzoka, yakomeje kwitabaza imiti y’imvange asanzwe amenyereye kugira ngo yirinde ububabare n’ibibazo by’uruhu. Ubu nawe arimo kwigisha umukobwa we inzira z’ubuvuzi gakondo, agira ngo iyi mpano itazazima.

Mu Rwanda, hafi 70% by’abaturage bifashisha imiti gakondo, nk’uko bitangazwa n’Ishami ry’Umuryango w’Abibumbye ryita ku Buzima (OMS). Iyo miti ikoreshwa mu kuvura abantu no korora amatungo. Abavuzi nk’Angelique bakomeje kugira uruhare rukomeye mu kubungabunga ubuzima no gutuma imiryango ibaho neza, cyane cyane aho serivisi z’ubuvuzi bugezweho zikiri nke.

Ariko ubu bumenyi gakondo buri mu kaga. Imihindagurikire y’ibihe irangiza ibinyabuzima gakondo, ikangiza amashyamba n’ibidukikije abavuzi bashingiraho. Inkubiri y’ubushyuhe, imvura idahama, ndetse n’ibimera by’inyamahanga byigarurira ubutaka (nka water hyacinth), birateza akaga ubusitani nyarwanda. Ibinyabuzima nka Senecio (igiti kinini cyo mu misozi), imbeba n’inzoka zo mu mashyamba ya Gishwati n’i Rwenzori, nabyo biri mu byugarijwe.

Guverinoma y’u Rwanda, binyuze muri gahunda ya “Green Growth and Climate Resilience” yatangiye mu 2023, yashyize imbere ibikorwa byo gusubiza amashyamba mu buryo burambye no kubungabunga ibimera kavukire. Mu mashyamba nka Gishwati–Mukura na Pariki y’Ibirunga, haterwa ibiti gakondo. Muri Kigali naho, imigezi n’ibishanga nka Nyandungu byahinduwe ahantu h’icyitegererezo ku bukerarugendo bushingiye ku bidukikije, harimo n’ubusitani bw’imiti gakondo burimo amoko 54 y’ibimera bivura.

Mu Ntara y’Amajyepfo, Kanyandekwe Jean Pierre na mugenzi we Geoffrey Kagame bashinze ubusitani bwa botanique i Ruyenzi (Ikambere Botanical Garden), bahafite amoko arenga 200 y’ibimera gakondo birimo ibisigaye bike mu Rwanda. Biyemeje kwigisha abaturage uko ibimera nk’umukazanyana (Clerodendrum myricoides) byakoreshwaga mu mihango yo gufasha abantu barwaye ibikomere by’ihungabana.

Kanyandekwe, usanzwe ari umushakashatsi w’amateka, avuga ko yifashishije inyandiko z’ubwami n’imigenzo y’Abiru kugira ngo amenye uko ibimera byakoreshwaga mu mihango ya kera. Intego yabo ni ugusigasira umuco no guhindura imyumvire mibi kuri ba bavura gakondo, kuko bamwe babafataga nk’abapfumu.

Binyuze mu bushake bw’abaturage, guverinoma n’abahanga, ubumenyi gakondo ku bimera bukomeje gusigasirwa no kwimakazwa nk’umusingi wo kurengera ubuzima, umuco, ubukungu n’ibidukikije.
