Ntchito zazikulu zachuma m'derali ndizoweta ng'ombe, kupanga tchizi ndi mafuta onunkhira komanso kugulitsa ng'ombe, koma masiku ano sizipereka ndalama zokwanira kusamalira ma ranchi, ndipo chifukwa cha izi nkhalango yadulidwa. Pali chikhulupiriro chabodza chakuti malo odyetserako ziweto adzabweretsa ndalama zambiri, koma chokhacho chomwe chimachitika ndikuti mwanjira imeneyi mahekitala ndi mahekitala a zomera akuwonongeka. Komabe, chifukwa cha momwe zinthu zilili mderali, dera lino ndilabwino kwambiri pakukweza zachilengedwe komanso zokopa alendo, zomwe zitha kukhala njira zatsopano zachuma posungira nkhalango ndikukweza miyoyo ya anthu okhalamo.
Cholinga chake ndikukhazikitsa mapulojekiti asayansi monga kuphunzira ndi kuwonera mbalame, chifukwa gombe lachigawochi ndi malo osunthira ofunikira monga phamba la peregrine lomwe limachokera ku Canada ndi kumpoto kwa United States ndipo limayima mderali nthawi imeneyi miyezi ya Okutobala ndi Novembala kuti apitilize ulendo wake wopita ku South America.
Mitundu ina yomwe imatha kuwonedwa pagombe komanso mumitengoyi ndi kingfisher, heron, redfish, cormorants, abakha akumira m'madzi ndi nkhono zina. Koma si mbalame zokhazi, chifukwa tikamalowa m'nkhalango timatha kusilira ma toucan akuda, ma parakeet, oyenda panyanja, ntchentche, chachalacas ndi tsabola, omwenso amatchedwa ndi phokoso lomwe amatulutsa. Pofuna kusirira mitundu iyi, cholinga chake ndikupanga chobisalira chapadera chomwe chimabisalira wowonayo poyang'ana m'madzi ndikumvetsetsa kwa okhala mlengalenga.
Ntchito ina yofunikira ndi ya mankhwala azitsamba ndi mankhwala a naturopathic, omwe ali ndi tsogolo labwino m'dera lolemerali.
Tikuyenda m'nkhalango ndi Don Bernardo, kapitawo wa rancho el Naranjo, tikupita paulendo wosangalatsa kudutsa maluwa am'derali omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati mankhwala:
“Timagwiritsa ntchito guava ndi copal kupweteka m'mimba, ndipo huaco ndi burande yoluma ya nauyaca, zitsamba zotsekemera zochotsa mimba ndi thyme kuchita mantha. Ndinagwiritsa ntchito zam'mbuyomu posachedwa chifukwa mwana wanga adayamba kudwala ndipo samafuna kudya ndipo zomwe zidachitika ndikuti ndidamudzudzula tikubwera kuchokera ku Santa Gertrudis chifukwa adagwa pahatchi yake, koma ndidamupatsa tiyi wake wa thyme ndipo adachotsa mantha. "
Zomera zonsezi ndi gawo laling'ono la maluwa, zina zonse zimapangidwa ndi ma ceba, mitengo ya mkuyu, timitengo ta mulatto, timitengo toyera ndi zina zambiri. Ndipo mitundu yotereyi imakhala ndi nyama zambiri zopangidwa ndi armadillos, opossums, mbira, agwape, ma ocelots, tepescuincles ndi abuluzi, ngakhale titha kunena kuti omalizirawa adayambitsidwa popeza omwe adakhalako adatha.
Derali ndiloyenera kuchita maulendo osatha monga kukwera mapiri, kukwera mahatchi tsiku limodzi mpaka masiku asanu, maulendo opulumuka m'nkhalango, kukwera bwato kupyola mangroves ndi ntchito zake monga kukama mkaka, kupanga tchizi ndi kuweta ng'ombe.
Tikulankhula ndi Don Bernardo pomwe amatenga mkaka ndipo timamwa chimodzi mwazomwe zimagwedezeka kwambiri padziko lapansi zopangidwa ndi mkaka wosaphika, burande ndi shuga, adatifotokozera nthawi yomwe akavalo amayenera kumangiriridwa ndi momwe nyama zimasindikizidwira:
“Mwezi ukakhala wofewa, sayenera kumangiriridwa chishalo chifukwa chinyama chimagundana, koma ngati tayikweza ndi mwezi wolimba imakhala yolimba. Amatchulidwanso; Ngati tiwayika ndi mwezi wamphamvu, chizindikirocho sichikula, ngati tichita ndi mwezi watsopano, chizindikirocho chimakhala chopunduka; Komanso sanatchulidwe kuti ndi liti komanso kumpoto chifukwa nyama zimadwala. "
Madzulo, serla limakhala konsati yomveka kuchokera ku mbalame zakutchire, crickets ndi cicadas, pakati pa ena. Ndipo kukada mdima, anthu amalowa mnyumba zawo osatulukamo chifukwa amakhulupirira mizukwa, mizimu yoyipa, zigololo ndi zimphona zomwe zimakonda usiku. Zimphona, malinga ndi nthano, ndi zitatu.
Mmodzi wa iwo wavala zakuda ndipo akukwera kavalo, wina wavala malaya abuluu ndipo wavala chipewa, ndipo wachitatu amangolola mthunzi wake kuti uwoneke. Izi zimawoneka kutchire, kumapeto kwa misewu komanso madzulo munkhalango, koma samachita chilichonse, amangoyang'ana pa inu, kapena ndi zomwe anthu akunena.
Monga mizukwa, tisayang'ane nkhalango zathu ndikudziwononga tokha, ndipo titeteze dera lokongolali kuti likhalebe lenileni monga liliri tsopano.
